A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

His smile deepened, but his tone remained clear and sharp as he stared at her with interest and asked, "Then... what would it take for you to marry me? Do I need to save you a few more times?"

"you……"

Xin Moyan was speechless for a moment. It turned out that all her words had been wasted. This man seemed chivalrous and righteous, but why was he so stubborn? He was just like Buyu, always talking about repaying her with his body. She was only eighteen; in modern times, he would still be a child!

Seeing her pout and her eyes darting around without saying a word, the man concealed his emotions and said in a deep voice, "Fine, since that's the case, I'll take you back. Be careful in the future."

"Huh? Then... then the young master won't let me repay him with my body?"

Xin Moyan opened her eyes wide. She originally planned to wait until sunset to determine the cardinal directions and find her way out of the woods.

"Yes, I was just joking with you earlier, you don't have to take it seriously."

"That's good! Hehe~ Thank you for your help, Young Master Xuanyuan!"

She immediately beamed with joy. In any case, it was absolutely impossible for her to repay him with her body. She would find an opportunity to properly thank this Young Master Xuanyuan when she got back!

"Ah."

He responded lightly, but his tone was not as cold as before.

"How are we going to get back? On foot?"

Xin Moyan looked around. It seemed that apart from the two of them and a bunch of trees, there was nothing else. Was it really going to take an hour? It would take two hours!

"Hold on to me."

After he finished speaking, his inner strength immediately gathered in his dantian, and he pushed off the ground with his toes, and the two of them were simultaneously lifted into the air...

Before she could react, he suddenly grabbed her waist with his large hand and lifted her up. She... flew away again?

Faster and faster...

Higher and higher...

Unable to contain her curiosity, Xin Moyan looked down...

My God!

She forgot that she was a little afraid of heights and was so frightened that she clung tightly to the man's waist with both hands.

The sudden embrace sent a chill down his spine, but he quickly regained his composure. Seeing her eyes closed, he chuckled softly.

Xin Moyan kept her eyes closed the whole time, and didn't even know how she landed; she just felt lightheaded...

Meanwhile, on the other side, a large group of people were frantically searching for Xin Moyan after she was suddenly kidnapped, especially one of the older brothers who had just received the news.

Yunxianglou

"Hua Buyu, Yan'er has no enemies here. Tell me honestly, did you bring these enemies upon yourself?"

Hua Buyu was so angry that she jumped up and down, shouting back, "Xin Moling, are you crazy? You're not looking for your lost sister, but instead you're slandering me! Aren't you the Great General? Why don't you tell people to go find Yan Yan right now!"

Xin Moling was filled with murderous intent. He also longed to find Yan'er. Just now, on the way, Hua Buyu sent someone to say that Yan'er was missing. However, in just one hour, the entire capital had been searched, but there was no trace of Yan'er.

"Cailian, what has Yan Yan been doing these past two days? Has she run into anyone?"

Hua Buyu was also puzzled. How could Yan Yan have been kidnapped? Moreover, these people committed the crime in broad daylight in front of her Yunxiang Tower without her noticing at all. Who were they?

Later, when Hua Buyu discovered the identity of the person who kidnapped Xin Moyan, she was so angry that she almost made that person childless...

Cailian just sat to the side, so anxious that she kept crying.

"Miss Hua... Miss Hua, my mistress and I have been painting at the art gallery these past two days and haven't seen you..."

They stopped halfway through their conversation. They had only met His Highness Prince Lie at noon, but how could His Highness Prince Lie possibly kidnap the young lady?

"What happened? Tell me quickly!"

She nervously grabbed Cailian's arm. If all else failed, she would have no choice but to ask her boss for help in resolving the issue.

"It's...it's just..."

Seeing Xin Moling's grim expression, Cailian dared not speak further. What if the young master went straight to the Prince Lie's mansion with his sword without understanding the situation?

Xin Moling frowned deeply and said anxiously, "Cailian, this concerns Yan'er's life and safety. You absolutely cannot hide anything from her."

Feeling frightened by his gaze, Cailian stammered, "Young...Young Master, it was around noon when Miss and I came out of Chunyi Pavilion. We had just gotten off the carriage and were about to walk to Yunxiang Tower to find Miss Hua when...when we ran into Prince Lie with his men transporting supplies on the street. The Prince dismounted and chatted with Miss for a few minutes..."

Upon hearing this, Xin Moling's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Didn't he always ignore Yan'er?

"anything else?"

Before Cailian could finish speaking, Hua Buyu immediately rolled up her sleeves, grumbling as she headed out the door.

"It must be that Yuan Huailie who kidnapped my Yan Yan! No, Xin Moling, take me to that Prince Lie's mansion!"

Xin Moling's face was already as black as ink, but seeing the woman's sudden outburst only made him more annoyed.

"Hua Buyu, stop causing trouble. Qingque, come with me to the Prince Lie's mansion."

He stood up, gripped his sword tightly, and Hua Buyu hurriedly followed behind him. Just as they were turning to walk out the door, Xin Moyan stood at the door, staring blankly at the large group of people making a big show of themselves.

"Brother...Brother!"

She blinked and smiled apologetically, knowing that her brother must have been very worried about her after being away for so long.

"Yan'er!"

"Yan Yan! Where did you go? Are you alright?"

Before Xin Moling could even step forward, Hua Buyu rushed up and gave her a tight hug.

"No... I'm fine."

She nudged Hua Buyu and quickly walked up to Xin Moling, calling out with a grin.

"Brother, I'm sorry for making you worry!"

Xin Moling didn't say anything, but quickly pulled up her arms and checked her body from head to toe. Seeing that she was completely unharmed, with only some mud on her skirt, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yan'er, what exactly happened? Who kidnapped you? Are you injured anywhere else?"

"Brother, I'm fine, and I'm not hurt. I don't know who those people are."

"Yan Yan, how did you get back? Why did those people arrest you?"

Xin Moyan shook her head. Seeing everyone's worried expressions, she simply explained, "I don't know those people. They had just taken me outside the city when a kind-hearted hero happened to pass by and saved me. Later, I asked him to bring me back here."

She didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she didn't say that those people were trying to kill her to silence her. She was just glad she came back safely and that she could never run away again.

"Outside the city? No wonder Xin Moling couldn't find you anywhere in the city. Where is that chivalrous man?"

"gone."

The young master Xuanyuan led her to the vicinity of Yunxiang Tower, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace. She originally wanted to make him wait a while, as she wanted to come in and borrow some money from Buyu to give to him.
