Chapter 538 - The Necklace, the Box of Catastrophe (2/2)

Even though she had been married to him for so long, she would still be tempted by his glamour he showed inadvertently.

Feng Yuran was satisfied to receive a trace of infatuation from Mo Xuetong’s eyes. He held Mo Xuetong’s hand and stroked it gently against his cheek to enjoy the soft skin on her palm with satisfaction and said smilingly, “Don’t worry. You don’t have to worry about it. No matter what the Southern Barbarian Lands and Feng Yuxuan gang against me, I will be fine. There are some things that not only he knows, but I know too.”

He caressed her palm softly, and it felt as if a trickle followed her blood vessels to extend to her arms and legs. Mo Xuetong’s eyes gleamed. Although her eyes were blurry, her thoughts were still clear. She said, “Does Feng Yuxuan have contact with the third prince of the Southern Barbarian Lands? So could it be that Feng Yuxuan has something to do with the disappearance of the Prince?”

“It’s alright. I have prepared all these well. Don’t worry.” Feng Yuran comforted her. Then, he held her hand closer and gave kisses to it.

Mo Xuetong felt crispy from his kiss, her eyes rippling slightly. She raised her beautiful brow charmingly and said in a pretty manner, “I don’t want to meddle in those things, and I am unable to do. Anyway, I have you. But as for the matter about the two women of the Lian’s Manor, you should not interfere in it. After all, it’s the matter of the back courtyard. You are a prince. If you pay too much attention to it, it won’t be good.”

Feng Yuran knew what she was talking about and understood that it was inappropriate for him to interfere in the matter. On the one hand, it was true that with his status, he should not interfere with the matters of those maidservants. On the other hand, he understood that if he meddled too much in it, it would definitely attract the Emperor’s attention, which might make the Emperor think Tong’er was a jealous woman. As such, if anything bad happened in Feng Yuran’s manor in the future, the Emperor would place all the blame on Tong’er.

However, he was still worried about leaving the whole matter to Tong’er to handle.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Mo Xuetong’s beautiful watery eyes were filled with grievance and hurt. “You don’t trust me that much? Furthermore, I’m not acting alone. Haven’t all your men helped me get things done? What I need to do is to take a reaction when necessary. Or you also think that I can’t do it, so you don’t believe me?”

After she finished the words, her eyes moistened faintly, as if she was about to cry. The sight made Feng Yuran’s heart ache, and he reached out to hug her tightly and said with a sigh, “Alright, I listen to you. I believe you, of course. But if something bad happens, you cannot confront the tough with toughness. Remember, you have me behind at any time. As long as you need me, I will be your most loyal backing.”

He did not speak loudly. Instead, his lazy voice sounded unwittingly enticing, which tickled Mo Xuetong’s heart like a feather brush, but also made her nose twitch, as if something was about to drip down from her eyes. She bit her lips slightly. A little painful, but it made her clearly sense that he really cared about her.

The softness in her heart almost overflowed, and the warmth made her almost s.h.i.+ver. She reached out her hand and subconsciously held his thin and strong body, burying her head deep in his arms. Feeling his strong heartbeat, she almost drowned herself in his tenderness.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling bad? I will get the doctor to check on you. Did you have a heatstroke right now?” Feng Yuran immediately picked her up.

Mo Xuetong felt well recently. Although the poison in her body was not neutralized, her health did improve a lot than before through the recuperation these days. Her feeling well made Feng Yuran remember the thing about Mo Yarui immediately, and he thought to himself if Tong’er also had a heatstroke. Since Tong’er was delicate, she was not as strong as others.

Mo Xuetong was almost moved to tears, but seeing him so nervous, she felt sweet, bitter, and funny in her heart. As such, she rubbed her small face against his chest and said softly, “I’m fine but just a little tired.”

She was not really sick at this time. If the imperial physician did come, people would laugh at her without a doubt.

Feng Yuran paused for a moment before understanding what was going on. A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes as he carried her into the room. He placed her lightly on the couch and said gently, “Have a good rest. Don’t tire yourself out. I can hand over the matters regarding the two maidservants to you, but don’t be too tired. If you don’t listen to me, I don’t mind dealing with the matter myself.”

Mo Xuetong poked out her small face from his chest, pouted her pink lips, and promised him again. “Rest a.s.sured. I won’t be tired. Furthermore, I will settle the matter. Don’t worry.”

Only she knew how busy Feng Yuran was. Although he always looked occupied with nothing, only Mo Xuetong knew that he had often discussed matters until late into the night and had only slept a few hours at midnight. As his wife, how could she not help him settle some simple matters? Furthermore, she was more willing to settle the matters of the He family.

The matter in her past life was what she was most worried about. Would the He family and the Southern Barbarian Lands be Feng Yuran’s unavoidable hurdles? But whether it was or not, Mo Xuetong thought since her heart had been set on him, she would stand with him and confront any difficulty in any case.

Feng Yuran rested his chin on his hand and looked at Mo Xuetong with a gentle smile. His dark eyes glowed brightly. How could he not understand Mo Xuetong’s words? There was a soft and translucent light in his eyes like water. He kissed her gently on her face and lips as if treating her like the most precious treasure in the world…
