Had he left just like that?
Even if she did not want to take the medicine, there was no need for him to just turn around and leave…
Bai Xianyu folded Xie Xingyun’s outer robe and held it in her arms, and followed him quietly.
What if he walked directly to the cloth shop?
If Madam Qin was delayed on her way back and had not spoken to the shop assistants in time to tally their stories, she would be exposed.
Xie Xingyun’s footsteps were neither fast nor slow, as if he was taking a stroll in the park. Bai Xianyu maintained a distance between them.
He was not walking in the direction of the cloth shop, either. Thus, she was puzzled.
She walked behind him for a while; Xie Xingyun would glance at her from time to time. His gaze was so cold that ice slag could fall.
Bai Xianyu inadvertently met his eyes and instantly shivered reflexively. She looked down at her embroidered shoes as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Xie Xingyun’s eyes seemed to waver.
Bai Xianyu watched as he walked into the bustling street. There were people coming and going, and she could only see the top of his head. She raised her sleeve to cover her face, but her beautiful eyes were also beaming. From the fair skin and delicate bones of this dignified person, it was obvious that she was from a wealthy family, not to mention the exquisiteness of her hair.
Not long after, there were people surrounding her and sizing her up.
As a result, Bai Xianyu was unable to see Xie Xingyun anymore.
He wouldn’t just leave her here, would he?
She was a little anxious. She lifted her skirt and wanted to speed up. When she passed by an alley, a well-defined hand grabbed her wrist.
Bai Xianyu’s back hit the back of the man’s hand. Behind her was a tall wall. When she saw the person in front of her clearly, she was still a little afraid. “As a man, how could you be so irresponsible? What if I was kidnapped?”
Xie Xingyun looked down at her and teased, “1 was already walking so slowly, how could you lose me?”
Bai Xianyu glared at him angrily.
Xie Xingyun slowly curled his lips and reached out to pinch her exasperated face. It was soft and smooth and felt very good.
“Let go, let go. My face still hurts!”
Bai Xianyu gasped and hurriedly stepped back.
The man let go at the right time. “1 didn’t use much strength.”
Bai Xianyu covered her face and looked at him warily. “Young Marquis, why aren’t you maintaining the distance between men and women at all? Why are you touching me so readily?”
She deliberately made it clear.
This time, Xie Xingyun did not mind. Instead, he unfolded the cotton paper in his hand. The balls of golden caramel candies were exquisite and small.
Did he go to buy candies?
Bai Xianyu watched his movements until the sweetly fragrant candy was brought to her lips.
“Open your mouth.”
Bai Xianyu raised an eyebrow, her beautiful eyes met his deep eyes. She gently opened her red lips to take the caramel candy in.
Xie Xingyun turned his head and stared at her long eyelashes. “Is it sweet?”
“It’s… quite sweet.”
“Then, hold on to all these too.” Xie Xingyun lowered his eyes and his thin lips moved slightly. “How old are you? Are you still afraid of the bitterness of medicine.”
Bai Xianyu was slightly stunned.
“It won’t be bitter if you put a piece of candy in your mouth when you take your medicine.” He took her hand and wanted to give her the packet of medicine and the candies, but he suddenly thought of something. “Forget it. I’ll hold on to them first.”
Xie Xingyun looked up and his gaze landed on her face. “You just need to protect your face.”
When Bai Xianyu heard this, was he going to start flying over roofs and walls again?
At that moment, her stomach cooperatively growled.
She looked embarrassed. “Can we have lunch first? I haven’t eaten lunch yet.”
Xie Xingyun looked at her flat stomach and frowned. “You…”
“…Why are you so troublesome?”
Bai Xianyu,”…”
