Chapter 499 Ache, you like me too, right?
Sighing silently, Baili Wuyou silently quickened his movements, making sure to put all the medicines that would quickly heal the body into the hot spring, and his tone became gentle:
"You!
You are obviously worried about me, but you also have to believe in my ability.
Since I was a child, the Queen Mother has regarded me as a thorn in her side, hating me for standing in the way of her and her beloved daughter.
Baili Wuyu and Baili Wuliu did everything they could to kill me.
If I didn't have any skills, how could I have survived till now?"
Dongfang Che's eyes, as clear as a mountain spring, flashed with an unconcealable pity.
When he first met her, he realized that she was not as cynical as she appeared. The appearance of "waste" was just a protective color she deliberately created.
But no matter how clever he was, he was still a teenager. At first he did not understand why she did that, but he could vaguely guess.
Now that I hear her say it herself, the pain deep in my heart can no longer be hidden.
He felt sorry for her.
He cares about her.
So much so that when he spoke, his voice was hoarse and could not be suppressed:
"Since you knew they would kill you, they would never agree to you marrying the eldest son of the Dongfang family. Why did you risk coming to Southern Xinjiang to quell the rebellion?
They won't acknowledge your abilities at all!"
"Who said I wanted them to admit it?"
Baili Wuyou smiled frivolously and raised his eyebrows towards Dongfang Che proudly:
"I want the approval of my future mother-in-law and my two sisters.
Otherwise, how could they trust you to me?"
"you······"
Dongfang Che didn't know how many times he had been speechless today. When their eyes met, the ripples in his heart surged, completely unlike before, which he could still suppress by force.
He knew that it was true that she liked him, but she was definitely not like Baili Wuyu and other women who were greedy for his appearance and the power that the Dongfang family could bring them.
But he didn't expect that she knew that this trip was a life-or-death one, but she was still willing to go on it just to gain the approval of his family!
While he was dazed, Dongfang Che suddenly noticed that the hot spring water was shaking.
When I came to my senses, Baili Wuyou's beautiful face was already right in front of me.
He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and instinctively stepped back.
Unexpectedly, there was a rock wall of a mountain spring behind him, leaving him with nowhere to retreat. He was locked in the middle by her domineering arms.
Although she is tall, her frame is extremely petite.
Dongfang Che has always stood out among men.
If the two of them stood together, she would actually only reach his shoulders.
But in the current situation, he is the one being "bullied".
Baili Wuyou realized that Dongfang Che only retreated and dodged at first, and then did not push her away or resist her anymore. She felt a surge of excitement for no reason and moved closer to him.
"Ache, you like me too, right?"
"Who...who said that!"
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Baili Wuyou was not annoyed, but the smile on his face deepened:
"If you didn't like me, why would you come to Southern Xinjiang without caring about anything?
Imperial descendants and nobles are not allowed to leave the imperial capital without imperial decree. You disregarded all of this for me, and you still say you don't like me?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Che stopped arguing. His ears turned red, but he stubbornly refused to meet her gaze.
After a long while, he finally squeezed out a very low voice:
"Ever since you had Nangong Yan, have you ever treated me with the same care as before?
Men are nothing but embellishments to you."
