On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Cheng Xuan rushed out of the bustling lobby of Zhencui Building with a feeling of grievance and lingering anger.

The cool breeze in the early morning blew across her slightly hot cheeks, and the fire in her heart seemed to have subsided a little, but her chest was still filled with a tangled mess of irritability.

She untied the reins of the chestnut horse with force, as if to vent her anger, and her knuckles turned white from the exertion.

She untied the rope and held it in her hand, but her movements paused.

Almost uncontrollably, she turned slightly sideways, her gaze passing the noisy doorway and quickly sweeping towards the depths of the restaurant lobby.

Are you expecting that bastard to come out and explain?

Or are you afraid of seeing his smug face?

She herself couldn't explain it, but she felt a sense of inexplicable uneasiness and anxiety added to the heaviness in her heart.

There were many people inside the door, diners chatting and laughing, waiters walking back and forth, but that familiar figure did not appear.

He really didn't follow.

This realization was like a drop of ice water falling into the lake of my heart, completely cooling and extinguishing most of the pent-up anger, but it instantly made the tangled mess of irritability swell up!

There was also a hint of indescribable, empty loss, which made her feel stuffy and made her unconsciously clench the reins in her hands tightly again and again.

The girl's thoughts were like the spring mist, hazy and unclear, yet weighing heavily on her heart.

However, her identity and responsibility as a guard were like an invisible rope that bound her firmly to the spot.

She didn't dare to leave, and couldn't leave.

In the end, he could only resign himself to his fate, tighten the reins, lower his head slightly, and stand quietly beside the stone steps outside the restaurant's porch, staring at the street scene in a daze.

The morning light outlined her slender yet stubborn figure. The lines of her profile were tense, and she pursed her lips, revealing a sense of grievance as if she were trapped by invisible shackles.

It was unknown how long it took before Lin Zhen walked out of the restaurant with a satisfied look on his face, picking his teeth slowly.

His eyes fell on Cheng Xuan, who was standing at the foot of the steps with her horse, lowering her brows and looking pleasant. The corners of his mouth almost instantly curled up into an extremely dazzling arc, and his eyes flashed with an undisguised light of pride, like a hunter seeing his prey caught!

"Hey?" He walked down the stairs, his tone drawn out, with a hint of teasing that made him want to be punched, "You really didn't leave?"

He walked over to his tall black horse, pretending to adjust the saddle straps while speaking in a surprised tone, "I thought Fairy Cheng Xuan would have stopped serving us long ago if she was so angry! It seems... you have quite a bit of professional ethics, don't you?"

The sarcasm in his words almost overflowed.

Chengxuan suddenly raised her head!

After the long wait just now, the anger in my heart has indeed subsided a lot, and I feel more frustrated about being left out.

But Lin Zhen's expression of "I knew you would wait patiently" and his naked pride were like a piece of dry firewood that suddenly ignited the spark!

"Lin Zhen!" She frowned, her beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows furrowed, and her clear eyes instantly ignited with anger. "Don't act like a spoiled brat here! If it weren't for..."

She bit her lip, her voice filled with frustration, "If it weren't for the pressure of being a guard, I would have left long ago! Who would want to wait for you?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Lin Zhen smacked his lips, and the smirk on his face became even wider, as if Cheng Xuan's scolding was a pleasant tune.

He jumped onto the horse with swift movements, sat firmly, and looked down at her condescendingly, with the playful control in his eyes clearly visible.

"Guardian?" He scoffed, waving the whip in his hand. "I'm not chaining you up. You can leave anytime you want. You're absolutely free! But, when I see Qingxia back in the capital, I'll have to have a good talk with her. Fairy Chengxuan, the most formidable of our Tiandao Camp, deserted her master during her escort mission because of a minor disagreement... Tsk tsk, such courage, I'm sure the Sect Master will be very interested."

He deliberately emphasized the word "courage".

The leader of Qingxia Sect.

This name was like a spell carrying a chilling chill, instantly freezing the rebellious spirit that had just been ignited in Chengxuan!

Her slender back stiffened instantly, and the little bit of toughness she had just gathered collapsed like a sand castle under Lin Zhen's casual threat.

She clenched her pink fists tightly, her nails digging deep into the soft palms, bringing a distinct tingling sensation.

She was so angry that her chest heaved, but she dared not refute a word. She could only bite her lower lip tightly and lowered her head stubbornly. Her long eyelashes trembled, covering up the grievance and helplessness surging in her eyes.

After a moment of stalemate, she saw Lin Zhen sitting safely on the horse, looking leisurely and contented, waiting for her to catch up.

A huge sour feeling mixed with frustration suddenly rushed to Chengxuan's nose.

She did not get on the horse immediately, but stood there. She suddenly raised her big watery eyes and looked straight at Lin Zhen.

The anger in those clear eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a weak accusation that she herself had not even noticed, with a little bit of barely perceptible... glimmer of hope to be treated gently.

Her voice softened unconsciously, revealing a hint of coquettishness:

"Hey...you...can't you just be nicer to me?" She paused slightly, her voice lowered, with a hint of girlish emphasis, "After all...I'm a girl too..."

The words themselves were an accusation, but the softened tone and slightly red eyes made it seem like she was acting coquettishly.

Lin Zhen sat on the horse, looking at her rare delicate appearance, and his heart was slightly moved.

He touched his chin, a wider, slightly mischievous smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he patted the broad, sturdy saddle of his mount.

"How am I treating you badly? Didn't I save a spot for you?" He deliberately twisted his body to make room in front of the saddle, which was barely big enough for him to fit in. He nodded at Cheng Xuan generously, "Come on, little Cheng Xuan, today I'll condescend to squeeze in with you and give you a ride! Isn't this a good treat?"

The gesture and expression were full of blatant ill intentions and teasing.

Cheng Xuan looked at the pitiful little space he had deliberately squeezed out, and then at the mischievous expression on his face that said "you got it for free", and her alarm bells instantly rang!

Her cheeks flushed red, her watery eyes widened, and she spat in embarrassment:

"Bah! Wishful thinking! Lin Zhen! Don't think I don't know what dirty tricks you have in mind!"

She pointed at Lin Zhen with a wary look on her face that said, "I've seen through you."

"You just want to wait for the horse to start running... to take advantage of me...!"

She didn't have the courage to say "touch breasts" directly, but her meaning was clear.

"I won't give you this shameless opportunity! Humph!"

As she spoke, she swiftly climbed onto her chestnut horse, assuming a posture of "drawing a clear line between the two sides," but the slightly red tips of her ears betrayed her nervousness.

Lin Zhen was stunned by her straightforward and shameful accusation.

I swear to God, his teasing just now was not so subtle as to take advantage of her. He just instinctively wanted to make her angry and make her jump up and down.

Chengxuan's ability to associate ideas and direct accusations made him feel a little amused and helpless.

Chengxuan sat firmly on the horse, pulled the reins, and the two prepared to ride out of the city.
