1747 Being Carried With So Many Eyes On Them

Wanyan Zhi merely smiled.

However, Lu Xue was not going to let him off the hook so easily. “See? You don’t mean it at all!”

Hexin watched them in surprise.

From the way they spoke and interacted with each other, they seemed to have a very close relationship.

The instant the thought crossed her mind, she saw a dark cloud fall over Long Yin’s face. Without warning, he slouched over to them and seized Lu Xue’s hand, forcing her to release her hold on Wanyan Zhi’s sleeve.

“Cousin Long Yin?” Lu Xue winced in pain and also fear at the sight of her cousin’s glower. “Y-you’re hurting me.”

Wanyan Zhi frowned and grabbed Long Yin’s wrist. “Yin’er, let go of Xue’er. You’re hurting her.”

Long Yin leveled a cool glance at him before shaking him off abruptly and demanding in a somewhat unfriendly tone, “Why do you care about Xue’er? You two aren’t even related!”

Wanyan Zhi was taken aback for a second. Then, he looked Long Yin up and down through narrowed eyes.

Even if he were a dullard, he could sense the boy’s hostility toward him.

Before he could say anything, Long Yin suddenly bent over and scooped Lu Xue into his arms.

“Father and Mother should be coming out soon. Let’s head inside now.”

Lu Xue was immensely uncomfortable being carried by him, especially with so many eyes on them.

A flare of annoyance arose amid her uneasiness. “I can walk on my own…”

However, Long Yin seemed oblivious to her protests and proceeded to carry her indoors.

Wanyan Zhi watched the boy disappear into the distance with a rueful smile, then said to Hexin, “I think Yin’er may have misunderstood something.”

Hexin turned her gaze to him.

She had not dared to scrutinize him just now; now that she could finally take a good look at him, she could not help being astonished.

Wanyan Zhi’s figure was tall and straight like a willow, and his handsome face was like fine jade that glowed gently instead of dazzling the eye.

Was he not the exact image of Lu Xue’s ideal husband?

Had it been a coincidence, or had Lu Xue’s description been based on Wanyan Zhi’s appearance?

Sensing the girl’s inquisitive stare lingering on him, Wanyan Zhi stroked his face in bewilderment. “What’s the matter? Is there something wrong with my face?”

“No.” Hexin collected herself and shook her head, but an indescribable feeling welled up in her.

She had roughly figured out Lu Xue’s feelings.

Perhaps Long Yin was aware of it too, hence his strong reaction just now.

“By the way, are you close to Big Sis Xue’er?” she asked curiously.

“I guess so. Our houses were near to each other, and I was a vanguard under her father’s command for a few years. We used to meet each other frequently, and we grew close over time,” Wanyan Zhi said frankly.

That was enough for Hexin to get the picture. “I see.”

Wanyan Zhi chuckled. “You seem to know the reason for Yin’er’s sudden outburst.”

Hexin shrugged. “The Crown Prince has a rather mysterious and unpredictable personality. How could I possibly know what he’s thinking?” After a pause, she added, “But I’m sure you do, Big Bro Wanyan. Why don’t you enlighten me?”

Wanyan Zhi regarded her significantly. “No wonder people say ‘ignorance is bliss’. I’m impressed that you’ve already comprehended this at such a young age.”

Hexin looked defeated. “I’m not pretending to be ignorant.”

“Well, some things are better left unsaid to avoid making everyone uncomfortable, so let’s just leave things that way.” Wanyan Zhi grinned.

From his reply, Hexin knew he understood the cause of Long Yin’s anger.

She decided to change the subject. “You look tired, Big Bro Wanyan. Were you traveling from another place?”
