Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

Chapter 243 Bet (Part )

Lu Che and Tao Yao leaped onto a small hill with a few light steps. Once they reached the top, they had a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. Tao Yao finally understood that this place wasn't a wilderness at all, but more like a wealthy family's private residence in the suburbs. There were some rockery and trees in the backyard, but it looked a bit desolate because no one had maintained it for a long time.

The cave she was in just now turned out to be just a small stone cave in the rockery.

Lu Che and Tao Yao flew over the hills for a while, finally landing at a low-lying area. This area had sunken into a naturally formed valley, a topography as ingenious as the work of nature. Looking down from above, a small courtyard house had been built in the valley, its buildings imitating the most classic styles of Beijing. It seemed the owner of this residence was a very sophisticated person.

The next second, Lu Che grabbed Tao Yao and was about to jump into the courtyard. Tao Yao was startled and quickly turned her head to ask, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm going back to the capital. Where is this?"

Lu Che didn't answer Tao Yao, but took her to the courtyard on his own initiative. The moment she landed, Tao Yao felt her steps were weak and light, unable to keep her footing, and she almost fell.

The next second, she suddenly felt a warm and fragrant breeze blowing from behind, and something was gently supporting her back.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Why are you still so careless?"

A familiar voice reached her ears, and Tao Yao froze in place for a moment. Her mind was blank and she could hardly remember anything. She could only stare at the person in front of her who had made her worry and sad for many days, and then he slowly and calmly floated in front of her.

It’s Chu Huanjun.

He was still the same as before, wearing a beautiful and expensive lake green robe, with his long black hair untied, and his handsome and handsome face was full of an expression of not caring about anything.

He seemed to have known that Tao Yao would come, so there was no expression of surprise on his face. He just glanced at her lightly and smiled faintly - but to Tao Yao, all this seemed so absurd and outrageous.

For a moment, Tao Yao was on the verge of collapse. She had never imagined that Chu Huanjun was actually alive and well.

He was clearly alive and well, but why didn't he tell her any news?

Tao Yao didn't feel surprised at all to see Chu Huanjun alive and well again. Instead, she felt angry and thought he had tricked her.

Having not seen Tao Yao for a long time, Chu Huanjun could not help but look at her twice more. However, he was still a person who cared about his reputation after all, so he could not keep his gaze on her face for too long, for fear that she would find out that he actually missed her very much. So he simply shifted his gaze to Lu Che's face.

Chu Huanjun smiled and said calmly, "It seems that I won this bet."

Lu Che said nothing, but silently lowered his head. Tao Yao listened to their conversation, which was like listening to a riddle, and the anger in her heart suddenly turned into a raging fire.

When did they hook up again? When did they make that bet? They had clearly both claimed to be good to her, but now they were doing things behind her back, keeping her in the dark and causing her to worry for so many days in vain.

"What bet?"

Tao Yao simply asked directly.

Chu Huanjun glanced at her and replied nonchalantly, "Oh, we made a bet. We bet on whether you would go with Lu Che or come find me. Whoever you find wins."

Tao Yao's eyes gradually turned scarlet, as if she had heard a ridiculous joke. She stared at Chu Huanjun and asked, "Is it just that? Is it that simple?"

Chu Huanjun was a little puzzled by her reaction. He had clearly imagined that Tao Yao would be overjoyed and touched to see him again, and would want to promise to spend her life with him right then and there. But now it seemed that it was not what he had imagined. Tao Yao looked very angry.

"You're clearly still alive, so why did you create so many illusions that you're dead and keep me in the dark?"

Tao Yao's eyes were red, and it was obvious that there were many tears rolling in her eyes, but she tried her best to raise her head to prevent those tears from falling - because at this moment, she felt that it would be very embarrassing if she cried in front of Chu Huanjun.

"And you!" Tao Yao turned her gaze to Lu Che. "Why are you here? What exactly are you planning? Since you knew he was still alive, why didn't you come and tell me? Don't you know how anxious and worried I am?"

Lu Che seemed to have not figured out how to deal with Tao Yao's anger, and slowly took a few steps back. At this moment, he was still thinking about what Tao Yao had said in the cave just now. He was grateful, so he didn't even say a few more words and simply turned around and left.

Tao Yao watched Lu Che's resolute back as he left, the fire in her heart burning even more fiercely. She chased after him, shouting as she ran, "Lu Che, come back here!"

But how could someone with no martial arts skills and mediocre physical skills compete with Lu Che's lightness skills? He jumped onto the roof in just a few steps and flew away. Tao Yao couldn't even catch up with him.

At that time, Tao Yao heard a slow voice coming from behind him.

"Don't chase him. You can't catch up with him. It's better to..."

Tao Yao didn't even think about it, and subconsciously turned around, rushing forward like a tiger pouncing on its prey, and gave Chu Huanjun a hug and a throw.

Chu Huanjun was obviously not on guard, and he had not expected how the little girl had developed such a strong strength in recent days, so he was pushed to the ground by her.

Tao Yao lost her balance after being pushed, and her foot twisted, putting her on the verge of falling. Chu Huanjun took advantage of the situation and stretched out his arms to wrap around her waist, holding her slender body firmly against his chest.

In an instant, Tao Yao's ear was pressed against Chu Huanjun's chest, and his strong heartbeat came into her ears.

Tao Yao's heart moved, and her eyes suddenly felt sore.

All the confusion and anger seemed to vanish in an instant. The wind was gentle, the clouds in the sky were still, and everything was so peaceful and tranquil. She could hear nothing, see nothing, and could only quietly feel the steady rise and fall of his breathing on his chest.

She didn't want to do anything anymore, she just wanted to confirm again and again that he was really alive, his breathing, his pulse, his body temperature, everything was real.

Tao Yao suddenly felt that no matter how he played tricks on her or deceived her, it didn't matter. She would forgive him, forgive everything he did.

She coveted the light warmth on his chest and the familiar pine scent on his body. She wanted to hug him tightly with all her might, so that time would stop here and they would never be separated again.
