Chapter 29: Don’t Let Go!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The two male leads in the novel were two extremes.

One of them was a silly boy who was doted on by his family.

While the other was a handsome man whose parents didn’t care for him.

Chi Yang suddenly felt sorry for Shen Juan.

“Shall I help you bandage it?”

Shen Juan stood where he was and did not answer. Chi Yang then mustered up her courage and cleaned Shen Juan’s wound before finding a clean cloth to bandage it.

“I didn’t do it well. You’d better call the doctor over to have it checked,” Chi Yang said as she bandaged the wound.

This time, Shen Juan finally reacted. He reached out and grabbed Chi Yang’s hand which was bandaging his wound.

“Are you concerned about me?” He asked hoarsely.

Chi Yang sensed that something was wrong with Shen Juan’s condition, but she did not think too much about it.

“Yes,” she nodded.

After that, she focused on bandaging Shen Jue.

Shen Juan watched Chi Yang, who had her head lowered as she bandaged his wound. His eyes were dark, and his adam’s apple bobbed up and down. Suddenly, he chuckled softly.

Chi Yang didn’t understand and looked up.

She was dazzled by Shen Juan’s smile.

The male lead was indeed the male lead for a reason. He was the epitome of beauty! She was a little tempted!

Before Chi Yang could ask Shen Juan why he was laughing, she heard a commotion coming from downstairs.

“What should we do? What if they come looking for you?” Shen Juan leaned over and calmly whispered into Chi Yang’s ear.

Chi Yang trembled and shrank into Shen Juan’s embrace, hugging him tightly.

“No, if we die, we die together!”

She was always so interesting.

“Then you have to hold on tight and don’t let go.”

Chi Yang nodded obediently.

When Chi Yang returned to her room, her legs were still weak.

Shen Juan told her to hug him tightly, but he did not mention that he would jump down from the building the next moment. He did not tell her that he would carry her over roofs and walls, nor did he say that he would bring her over walls and enter the residence…

Now that she thought about it, she was a little scared.

Chi Yang slowed down and called Shi Jian in, “Tell Father and Mother that they found me at Yi Yun Court.”

…

Chi Yi and Xiao Lianyi were stunned when they heard the news.

“Didn’t Chi Yao’s maid say that she saw someone kidnap Yangyang and bring her to Peaceful Bookstore?” Xiao Lianyi couldn’t believe it.

Did Chi Yao lie to her?

At this moment, Chi Yi sighed at his own gullibility toward Chi Yao.

“Call Young Miss to Yi Yun Court as well,” Judging from his wife’s words, he felt that there was some kind of misunderstanding.

It was better to gather everyone and ask what was going on.

Chi Yang looked at Chi Yao who came to Yi Yun Court and raised her eyebrows. She immediately apologized to Chi Yao, “It was my fault for causing Sister to fall into the water today. I shouldn’t have played by the lake,”

Chi Yao smiled. Before she could say anything, Chi Yang continued.

“I didn’t know that the ice was so thick that it broke when Sister stepped on it. I’m really sorry…”

Chi Yao’s right eye twitched.

Chi Yi sized Chi Yao up.

It was winter, and it had been exceptionally cold recently. The lake had long been covered with a thick layer of ice. How could a thin child-like Chi Yao break the ice and fall into the lake?

“Someone come!” Chi Yi called his attendant over and gave a few instructions in a low voice.

Not long after, the attendant returned.

“I went to the lakeside under Prime Minister’s orders. There are traces of someone smashing the place where Eldest Miss fell into the water,”

“I asked a few maids who were sweeping the garden and said that a few days ago, a servant boy was greedy and caught two fish to eat. The place where the young miss fell was exactly on that spot,”

In other words, he couldn’t blame anyone but Chi Yao for being unlucky to step on that particular area.

Chi Yao smiled as she walked forward and said to Chi Yang, “It was my bad luck that caused Sister to be punished. I’m really sorry,”

When the truth came out, Chi Yao also apologized.

Chi Yang nodded, forgiving her.

However, Chi Yang looked at the hesitant Xiao Lianyi and didn’t say anything.
