“Can I help you?”
“Can I see you?”
Bai Xianyu was a little surprised and slowly sat up from the bed. “Okay, wait a moment.”
Mo Linyuan acknowledged with a “Ehm”.
After a while, Bai Xianyu opened the door. Her face was rosy. Her skin color was much better than when she was shot that day.
Mo Linyuan calmed down and explained, “Previously, when you were in a critical state, I had wanted to come and see you, but they stopped me.”
Bai Xianyu smiled. “It’s okay. It was just a fever.”
Mo Linyuan saw how calm she was and felt even more guilty. “It’s my fault for implicating you.”
“It’s okay.”
He paused for two seconds. “1 want to ask you, why did you save me?”
Mo Linyuan’s eyes were burning, and the smile that often hung on his lips disappeared. However, it was precisely because of this that he looked exceptionally serious.
At the same time, Green Pearl led Xie Xingyun to the courtyard.
The two of them simultaneously saw Bai Xianyu and Mo Linyuan talking at the door.
Xie Xingyun was still thinking about something, but the moment he looked up and saw Mo Linyuan, his thin lips instantly pursed into a straight line, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Green Pearl shivered and did not know whether to advance or retreat. She only quietly shrunk herself and tried her best to reduce the sense of her presence.
Mo Linyuan’s gaze was very familiar. She had seen such a gaze in many people’s eyes before. Bai Xianyu was a little surprised. After a pause, she said, “You’ve misunderstood.”
Mo Linyuan was stunned.
“If you encounter danger in our dynasty, it might lead to more serious consequences than being injured,” Bai Xianyu spoke succinctly.
Mo Linyuan looked at her. “That’s all?”
“Emm.”
Xie Xingyun’s brows relaxed slightly, and the cold aura around him seemed to dissipate without a trace.
Bai Xianyu’s answer was decisive, but Mo Linyuan looked at her meaningfully and did not continue asking. Instead, he said, “Even so, you saved my life.”
As he spoke, he took out a golden token from his brocade pouch. “This is for you.”
Bai Xianyu did not take it. “What is this?”
Mo Linyuan smiled without saying anything. “Consider it a token of my appreciation.”
Bai Xianyu’s intuition told her that this was a very precious thing. A thank-you gift from Mo Linyuan could not be anything simple, so she rejected it and smiled directly. “There’s no need. My original intention was to save the Second Prince of Daqing.”
“Not you.”
Mo Linyuan’s gaze paused for a moment, but a smile appeared on his face. “In that case, it’s worth the Second Prince’s life. This thing might not be useful to you, but it’s also my repayment to my savior.”
The two of them stared at each other for a long time. Mo Linyuan did not retract his hand for a long time.
In the end, Bai Xianyu still took it from him. “Alright.”
Mo Linyuan’s smile deepened. “Then 1 won’t disturb your rest anymore.”
Bai Xianyu nodded.
After she closed the door, Mo Linyuan turned around and saw Xie Xingyun standing by the door.
Mo Linyuan narrowed his eyes and quickly returned to normal. He walked past him without looking sideways.
Xie Xingyun sneered. “Didn’t you hear her say that she didn’t want to save you?”
The corners of Mo Linyuan’s mouth flattened out. “I’m afraid Young Marquis is just deceiving himself. The truth is right in front of you. You’re just jealous that she sacrificed herself to save me and is cold toward you.”
A laughter escaped the man’s throat. “You’re the one who’s deceiving yourself and others.”
With that, Xie Xingyun straightened his body and walked towards Bai Xianyu’s room.
Mo Linyuan did not understand where his confident tone came from. In his opinion, Xie Xingyun and Bai Xianyu’s interactions were a little subtle. However, Xie Xingyun was completely treating her as if she was his own possession.
But from his investigation, Xie Xingyun should have been an extremely indifferent character.
Mo Linyuan then thought of Bai Xianyu. He did not believe what she said today. How could a teenage girl not be afraid in the face of killing intent? Moreover, the arrow was aimed at him. Bai Xianyu risked her life to save him. Didn’t this mean that she liked him?
Perhaps she had yet to recognize her own feelings.
After thinking it through, Mo Linyuan smiled. The thing he gave her might not be useful to her now, but it was also the most precious thing he could take out.
As soon as Bai Xianyu’s fingers touched the bed, there was a knock on the door. She turned. “Anything else?”
“It’s me.”
Xie Xingyun.
Bai Xianyu could tell and sighed slightly as she went to open the door.
A tall and handsome man stood at the door with her maidservant beside him..
