Chapter 184 Qin Yaoyao is taken away
His eyes, as deep as a still pool, seemed to hold endless secrets and wisdom. A glint of cunning flickered within them, like a brilliant shooting star streaking across the night sky, leaving an unforgettable trail. This glint both instilled mystery and a sense of unease.
Then, in a calm and unhurried manner, he said, "Yes! To be honest, I hadn't quite figured out how to punish you yet. But just now, in that instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning had suddenly struck my mind, illuminating all my thoughts. And so, a brilliant idea was born!"
Hearing this, Qin Yaoyao's curiosity was instantly ignited. It felt like a playful kitten gently scratching her heart with its soft paws—an itch that was both alluring and unbearable. Her large, watery eyes were fixed on He Yanxi, filled with anticipation and longing. She eagerly asked, "Oh, what kind of punishment is it? Tell me quickly! Please!" At that moment, she was completely unaware of how charming and adorable her eagerness was. A slight blush rose on her delicate face, like a newly blossoming flower in early spring, tender and lovely. A gentle breeze stirred, causing a few strands of hair to flutter across her forehead, adding to her lively beauty.
He Yanxi's deep, pool-like eyes were fixed on Qin Yaoyao, whose face was filled with curiosity. His sharply defined lips curved slightly upward, forming a smile as radiant and dazzling as peach blossoms in spring. This smile was not only incredibly bright, but also seemed even more profound and intense, as if containing endless charm and mystery, so dazzling that one dared not look directly at it.
However, the instant Qin Yaoyao met He Yanxi's smile, an indescribable chill suddenly rose from her heart and quickly spread throughout her body. That ominous premonition, like a surging tide, overwhelmed her, causing her to shiver involuntarily. She seemed to have keenly sensed a dangerous aura quietly spreading in the surrounding air, gradually enveloping her.
For Qin Yaoyao, whenever He Yanxi flashed that bright, charming, yet slightly cunning smile, she knew perfectly well that she was in trouble! Seeing that smile on his face was a sure sign that endless teasing and mockery awaited her. He treated her like a cunning cat toying with a pitiful, helpless mouse.
Thinking of this, Qin Yaoyao couldn't help but inwardly groan. She hurriedly pleaded, "Um... Brother Xi, please have mercy! Can you put me down first? I swear I'll be a good girl, I can definitely walk steadily on my own!" As soon as she finished speaking, she began to desperately twist her petite body, using all her strength to try to break free from He Yanxi's strong embrace. The corners of He Yanxi's mouth slowly turned up, outlining a beautiful arc, and a slightly playful smile quietly bloomed on his handsome face. He gazed at the woman before him with great interest, his eyes flashing with an unusual light, as captivating as the bright stars in the deep night sky. He parted his lips slightly and said in a deep, magnetic voice, "Let me put you down so you can walk on your own?" His voice was soft, but it was like a gentle breeze rippling across a calm lake.
At this moment, his gaze was like the warm sunshine of spring, gentle and comforting, softly falling upon Qin Yaoyao, as if to envelop her entirely. However, within this seemingly gentle gaze, there seemed to be a subtle, almost imperceptible, cunning intent. It was like a venomous snake lurking in dense grass; though its ferocious nature was not yet revealed, its mere glimpse was enough to send chills down one's spine.
Upon hearing He Yanxi's words, Qin Yaoyao felt a surge of hope, like a drowning person grasping at a last straw. Her head bobbed rapidly, so fast one worried it might slip off her neck. At the same time, her already large eyes widened even more, filled with pleading and fervent hope, making her even more endearing than a little white rabbit. Her gaze was like a flickering candle flame in a storm, so fragile, as if it might be extinguished at any moment, vanishing forever into darkness.
Finally, Qin Yaoyao could no longer suppress her anxiety. She eagerly replied, "Please, please put me down. I can really walk by myself." As she spoke, her voice trembled slightly with tension and fear, giving her a uniquely pitiful appearance.
However, to Qin Yaoyao's great disappointment, He Yanxi did not act according to her wishes at all. He slowly, bit by bit, brought his handsome and charming face close to her ear, whispering, "If I put you down now, you'd definitely run away like a frightened little rabbit in the blink of an eye." As he spoke, his warm breath, like the gentlest breeze in spring, softly brushed against Qin Yaoyao's extremely sensitive earlobe, bringing a tingling sensation that made her involuntarily tremble.
Immediately afterwards, He Yanxi's deep and magnetic voice, like a beautiful note from heaven, or a bewitching melody, pierced straight into Qin Yaoyao's already chaotic heart. The voice was so beautiful, so intoxicating, as if possessing an irresistible magic, immersing Qin Yaoyao completely, making it impossible for her to extricate herself.
Hearing He Yanxi's words, Qin Yaoyao felt as if her heart had been struck by a thousand-pound hammer, pounding violently. Her cheeks instantly turned bright red, as luscious as a ripe apple. In a panic, she hurriedly raised her right hand high, tightly pressing her three slender fingers together, and solemnly swore to the sky, "I swear to God, I will never run away, really! Please put me down quickly, aren't you tired of holding me like this? If this continues, you'll probably become the camel that breaks the camel's back!" As she spoke, Qin Yaoyao blinked her large, watery eyes, her bright pupils like two sparkling gems, shimmering with a pitiful light, trying to touch He Yanxi's seemingly hardened heart.
After hearing this, He Yanxi straightened his body slightly, but his hands remained firmly in his arms, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world, unwilling to loosen his grip even for a moment. His steps were firm and powerful, like a rock that has stood for thousands of years, without pausing or slowing down even while holding someone.
He slowly lowered his head, his gentle gaze falling upon the delicate face of the woman in his arms. Her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, making her all the more endearing. A faint smile involuntarily curved his lips, a smile as radiant as a peach blossom in full bloom in spring, dazzling and captivating.
He said to her in an extremely gentle voice, "Baby, I don't feel tired at all. And even if I really feel exhausted, I will never let go and let you escape! So... you should stay obediently in my arms, that's the best choice." After saying this, he deliberately raised his eyebrows playfully, and a hint of smugness flashed in his deep eyes, as if he was showing off the victory in this love chase to Qin Yaoyao.
Qin Yaoyao felt his burning gaze and the domineering aura in his words, and inwardly groaned. She knew perfectly well that at this moment, she was like a beautiful butterfly that had accidentally fallen into a spider's web, desperately flapping her wings to break free, but unable to change the reality of being firmly trapped. She could only sigh helplessly, silently lamenting, "Oh dear, this is really terrible! It seems I'm truly doomed this time." Thinking this, she sighed softly, and the turmoil and unease in her heart instantly vanished. So, she completely let go of her resistance, like a docile and adorable kitten, gently curling up in He Yanxi's broad and incredibly warm embrace. At this moment, she closed her eyes tightly, quietly savoring this rare tranquility and peace, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
Time passed quickly, and soon He Yanxi, with lightning speed, brought Qin Yaoyao to the gate of his courtyard. As soon as they stepped inside, they saw a figure leisurely strolling out of the house. It was Mu Feng, his hands behind his back, looking completely at ease. However, when his gaze fell upon Qin Yaoyao in He Yanxi's arms, his expression froze instantly. His mouth gaped open, his eyes widened, and his face was filled with astonishment, as if he had witnessed the most unbelievable spectacle in the world.
At the same time, Qin Yaoyao also noticed Mu Feng's presence. In an instant, an indescribable feeling of shyness surged through her like a tidal wave, instantly flushing her fair, jade-like cheeks. She instinctively tried to break free from He Yanxi's embrace, but he only held her tighter. Helpless, she could only awkwardly laugh softly at Mu Feng. Her laughter was clear and melodious, like a string of silver bells swaying and echoing in the air, captivating and enchanting all who heard it.
Mu Feng quickly recovered from his shock. He hurriedly composed himself, bowing deeply to He Yanxi with swift, albeit flustered, movements. He said, "Your Highness, the snacks, fresh fruits, and fragrant tea you requested have all been prepared and neatly arranged on the table in the main hall. Please, Your Highness and Miss, come and enjoy them." With that, he slightly turned to the side, gesturing for He Yanxi and Qin Yaoyao to enter the room. He Yanxi didn't even turn his head, moving like an arrow shot straight towards his bedroom. His agile steps were astonishingly fast, as he repeatedly said, "Alright, I understand. Remember not to let any unauthorized personnel disturb us. Wait until dinner time to wake us."
Upon hearing this, Mu Feng, standing to the side, quickly and respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Highness." Before he finished speaking, he swiftly turned and strode towards the courtyard exit. However, just as he took two steps, a loud and clear shout suddenly came from behind him. Mu Feng was filled with doubt, but he immediately stopped and turned around. He stared intently at He Yanxi, asking with a puzzled expression, "Does Your Highness have any other important instructions?"
At this moment, He Yanxi's face was tense, his expression solemn and serious, as if he were facing an extremely important matter. With a very earnest and solemn attitude, he began to instruct Mu Feng in detail: "Ah Feng and Cheng Ying are currently extremely busy at the horse farm, so when preparing the banquet tonight, remember to make sure to prepare plenty of delicious and exquisite dishes. Do not overlook anything!"
Mu Feng listened intently to He Yanxi's words, and as soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly nodded and replied, "Your Highness is aware of this. I hope you can rest assured. I will certainly live up to your mission and do my best to handle this matter properly."
Hearing Mu Feng's decisive answer, a hint of satisfaction finally appeared on He Yanxi's face. He nodded slightly, then waved his hand gently, saying in a calm tone, "Very good. Since there's nothing else, you may take your leave." After saying that, He Yanxi didn't look at Mu Feng again, as if the man had disappeared from his sight.
Immediately afterwards, He Yanxi slowly turned around and gently and gracefully embraced Qin Yaoyao in his arms. He took each step with great deliberation, as if afraid of disturbing the person in his arms. And so, He Yanxi steadily entered the room.
