When Pei Wanyue recovered from her shock, she found that her soft waist was wrapped by the man's arms.

She raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her.

He was dressed in black, with long, black hair draped over his shoulders. His perfect features were embedded in a silver-white hollow mask, revealing cold and sharp eyes and thin lips.

Pei Wanyue's heart suddenly began to beat violently, her eyelashes trembled, and the surprise in her eyes was tightly wrapped around them like a vine.

It turned out to be Brother Zhou!

She will remember the pattern on the mask forever.

Will never forget.

Xie Wenzhou let her go, took a few steps back, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you hurt, young lady?"

Pei Wanyue's thoughts were interrupted. She suppressed the surprise in her eyes and said calmly, "It's okay. Thank you for your help, sir."

"It was my carriage that hit the girl. It is my duty to save her." Xie Wenzhou's tone seemed to be immersed in a cold pond, without a trace of warmth.

Pei Wanyue's face turned pale, and the fingertips that were twisting the handkerchief turned white.

Brother Zhou doesn't remember her.

He had never been as indifferent as he was now.

I don’t know what happened to him over the years.

Xie Wenzhou's voice came again, "Since the young lady is fine, I will take my leave."

Before he finished speaking, he turned around.

Pei Wanyue frowned slightly and subconsciously reached out to grab his cold wrist. "Excuse me, sir, what is your name?"

Xie Wenzhou looked sideways, his eyes filled with aloofness and coldness.

Pei Wanyue's heart trembled at this, and she realized that she had been rude, and quickly let go of him, "Sorry."

"Xie Wenzhou." He spoke coldly.

Pei Wanyue spoke tentatively: "My last name is Pei Huanwanyue."

Xie Wenzhou exuded an air of keeping strangers away. He glanced at her indifferently and asked, "Miss Pei, is there anything else?"

Pei Wanyue seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body trembling violently, with a slight arc at the corners of her eyebrows.

Brother Zhou really didn't remember her.

But if she just let Brother Zhou go like this, would she not see him for another ten years?

Last time, she didn't have the ability to keep Brother Zhou.

And this time, she wanted to give it a try.

Pei Wanyue's eyes were filled with sparkling mist, and she spoke softly:

"I came to the Western Country with my brother and sister-in-law, but I just encountered bandits and got separated from them. Could you take me with you for a while? Once I find my brother and sister-in-law, I'll leave on my own."

Xie Wenzhou's cold and lonely voice was silent, and he was not moved by her words. He said coldly, "Miss Pei has so many guards, there is no need for her to follow me."

In an instant, Pei Wanyue's heart was broken into pieces, and tears filled her eyes.

The guards standing by were so frightened after seeing what had just happened that they almost lost their courage.

When they came to their senses, they found that their princess actually wanted to go away with a strange man!

He even said that he was separated from his brother and sister-in-law?

It's complete nonsense!

But as subordinates, they dared not interfere in their master's affairs.

I can only watch Her Royal Highness the Princess act.

The surroundings suddenly fell into dead silence.

No one spoke.

Xie Wenzhou didn't plan to stay any longer.

He hasn't turned around yet.

The carriage curtain was opened by a large hand with distinct joints. Pei Yan poked his head out and said jokingly:

"Azhou, you didn't expect that even though you were a hero saving a beauty, you would still be entangled by her, right?"

Xie Wenzhou glanced at him coldly, "Shut up!"

Pei Yan's gaze fell on Pei Wanyue and he said with a smile, "Miss Pei, why do you have to follow him?"

Pei Wanyue froze in place, silent for a long moment before she said, "I have a crush on him."

This was the only way for her to stay with Brother Zhou.

If you don't admit that you fell in love with him at first sight.

That means there is no chance at all.

Pei Yan's eyes widened immediately, a look of surprise on his face, "You fell in love with him at first sight?"

Pei Wanyue nodded seriously, "Yes."

Xie Wenzhou's face was still expressionless, but his words were cold and ruthless: "Don't waste your time on me, I won't like you."

These words were like a sharp knife, silently piercing Pei Wanyue's heart.

He even stabbed it hard a few times.

Pei Wanyue's face suddenly lost its color, even her lips were trembling slightly, and she squeezed the handkerchief tightly with her fingertips to force herself to calm down.

She pursed her lips as hard as she could and spoke in a steady tone, "Master Xie never gave me a chance, so how could you know he wouldn't fall in love with me?"

"Wutong has no ending, and we never had a beginning." Xie Wenzhou's eyes were cold, and he said something between his teeth.

A hint of red appeared at the corners of Pei Wanyue's eyes, and the pain spread in her heart and penetrated deep into her bones.

Her eyes fell on Pei Yan, and she offered him a pleading look.

Maybe he would be his last chance.

Pei Yan felt a little sorry for Pei Wanyue, who looked like a beautiful jade about to break. He said slowly:

"Azhou, I think Miss Pei and I get along quite well. Let her stay. I'll send her back after she finds her brother and sister-in-law."

"Besides, it's quite dangerous for a little girl like her to be with a group of guards. Who knows if they might have bad intentions? You can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart."

"Since you've already saved Miss Pei once, why not save her to the end? Sending her to the west won't make a difference this time."

Hearing these words, Pei Wanyue's eyes lit up instantly, and the pain in her heart was slowly subsiding.

The guards standing by were furious: "???"

Who is dangerous?

Who would have evil intentions?

Does anyone talk like this?

If Her Royal Highness the Princess hadn't been here, their swords would have been at that man's throat long ago!

Xie Wenzhou's eyes were dark and deep, and his thin lips were tightly pursed. "Are you sure you want to get involved in this mess?"

"You have been unwell recently and I am a bit tied up. Wouldn't it be better to have Miss Pei with you? She can lend a hand." Pei Yan said.

Xie Wenzhou said coldly: "No need."

Pei Yan's eyes darkened slightly, "You still owe me a condition. I'll use it today. Can you let her stay?"

Xie Wenzhou was filled with anger and stared at Pei Yan without blinking.

How could he have thought that Pei Yan would use this as a threat?

Pei Wanyue, who was standing aside, didn't dare to say a word, but the hope in her heart was ignited.

As long as I have time to spend with Brother Zhou.

She was satisfied.

After a moment, Pei Yan raised his thick eyebrows and said jokingly:

"The dignified Master Xie wouldn't want to shirk his responsibility, would he? I've known you for so long, and I don't think you're that kind of person."

As soon as he finished speaking, silence fell around him.

Xie Wenzhou didn't say anything.

Pei Yan curled his lips and smiled, "Come up, Miss Pei."

Pei Wanyue asked uncertainly, "Is it really possible?"

His eyes were on Pei Yan, but his words were addressed to Xie Wenzhou.

Xie Wenzhou still didn't say a word.

Pei Yan said: "He still owes me a condition, he won't go back on his word, come up quickly."

Pei Wanyue's eyes lit up and she nodded suddenly. When she was about to step onto the footstool, she looked back at the guards standing there.
