But just as her hand touched the door, the man grabbed it from behind.
Her fair and jade-like delicate hand was held down on her wrist by a slightly coarse wheat-colored hand. There was a strong contrast in skin color, and Xie Xingyun’s hand was almost twice the size of Bai Xianyu’s.
Bai Xianyu was stunned for a moment and felt a heat source on her back.
Xie Xingyun placed one hand on the side of her ear, bent down, and whispered into her small and red earlobe, “Why are you opening the door?”
Bai Xianyu had the illusion that she had done something wrong when he asked her so confidently.
“Men and women shouldn’t be in close proximity. It’s better for me to go out if you change your clothes.”
“If you go out like this, won’t it confirm that we have something going on?” He laughed softly and his voice was a little hoarse. “I haven’t tied my clothes properly.”
Bai Xianyu’s throat tightened.
“No one came.”
Xiao Zheng did not come back. He was just standing guard outside.
Xie Xingyun could not help but gently and slowly rub her soft fingers.
He had wanted to do so when her soft and boneless hand slid lightly on the fabric just now.
He even felt that he was already sick.
Every time he saw her, no matter how hard he tried to suppress it, the selfish possessiveness in his heart would quietly grow.
He craved everything about her.
Black hair, snow-white skin, red lips, bright eyes, white teeth, and the lingering fragrance of the Chinese rose that had appeared in his dreams countless times.
A numb feeling spread from his scalp to the soles of his feet. His heart seemed to have stopped beating at that moment. The coarse and heavy touch made Bai Xianyu’s eyes widen in shock, and her other hand under her sleeve clenched into a fist.
She immediately wanted to pull her hand out, but Xie Xingyun let go of her first and her words stuck in her throat.
It was as if it was just an inadvertent action.
Bai Xianyu turned around and leaned against the door, giving her a sense of security.
However, the man who had been extremely aggressive just now was now lowering his head and fiddling with the strap of his clothes as if nothing had happened. His hands, which had tugged her heartstrings just a moment ago, now looked a little clumsy.
Even though it was already messed up into a twisted rope, Xie Xingyun’s movements were still unhurried, making Bai Xianyu a little anxious.
It was clear that he only had to thread it through to the other end and tie it up. Why did it become so messy?
She could not bear it. “Let me do it.”
Xie Xingyun saw her expression. After making sure that she was not angry, he raised his eyebrows leisurely, his gaze harbouring some heat.
Bai Xianyu wrapped her arms around his strong waist and walked around. She untied the strap that was twisted into a mess and tied the knot with all seriousness.
When the last knot was almost tied, Bai Xianyu subconsciously slowed down. “Did you come to bring me candies previously?”
Xie Xingyun’s gaze paused on her face for a moment. “Huh?”
“When I fell into the water the last time, didn’t you also come to see me? You even asked Third Brother to bring me something?”
Xie Xingyun lowered his eyes to look at her, “When did you find out?”
Bai Jingyuan was not a person who went back on his word. Since he had promised not to tell Little Yu, he would not tell her.
Bai Xianyu said, “Ji Shuang told me. When she came to see me, she happened to bump into you.”
“Were they delicious?”
A hint of sweetness suddenly surged up the tip of Bai Xianyu’s tongue as she nodded furtively.
Xie Xingyun was quite satisfied with her answer. “Then 1’11 bring some more for you next time.”
His expression was calm, as if it could not be more natural.
Bai Xianyu shook her head to turn it down and said gently, “Previously in my courtyard, i had misunderstood you.”
The girl did not realize that when she spoke, the man had quietly moved closer.
“Previously, I had been angered by what Eldest Princess said, so when I saw you, I thought you came with her. In addition, you had hinted at those words in the past, so I lost my temper at you that day…”
Xie Xingyun looked at her without blinking.
“Actually, you’ve helped me a lot…”
To be honest, he was even the benefactor of their General Manor. He had saved her and her brothers.
“Don’t take what I said to heart.”
Bai Xianyu stuttered.
The relationship between the two of them was already complicated, and now, it was even more complicated and confusing. Logically speaking, she should treat the benefactor of her brothers and her well and remember Xie Xingyun’s kindness to their residence.
But in her previous life, didn’t she fall in love with him in a daze during their relationship?
It was too tiring to love someone.
She did not want to experience that feeling again.
Bai Xianyu had a headache and frowned slightly..
