Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 90 Preparing to Build a Greenhouse (2)

Once dressed, I invited the two of them to the side hall, where Feng Xuxu nestled into a single sofa, cradling a cup of hot tea in her hands, sipping it little by little.

In contrast, the two of them sat opposite each other, each eyeing the other with disdain.

"Young Master Xiao, out with it, why have you come to my place in the middle of the night without sleeping?" Feng Xuxu looked at the two of them, squabbling like roosters, with speechlessness.

"... I missed you, came to see you," Xiao Chen frowned and spoke his true feelings. He feared that if he didn’t speak up, someone might whisk her away.

"Pfft... Cough cough cough." Feng Xuxu had just taken a sip of tea when she was startled by his audacious words, spluttering it out. Baihe quickly reached out with a handkerchief, but it was a step too late as her master’s hand already extended in front of the lady, scooping her up: "Such a grown-up, yet you still choke on tea," picking up his own handkerchief and carefully wiping the mouth of the small woman in his arms.

Jueqing watched the tenderness overflowing before him, doubting it was the same War God he knew, infamous for being unbeatable, ruthless, a harbinger of death, and striking terror into the hearts of many.

Struggling to her feet, Feng Xuxu snatched the handkerchief from Xiao Chen’s hand and sat back down, her cheeks red either from the choking or the embarrassment at Xiao Chen’s words.

Clearing her throat, she regained her tongue: "Then why did you fight with him? Don’t you know I still have to spend Silver to heal his wounds?" She rolled her eyes, her face expressing the pain of the expense.

Xiao Chen, hearing this, curled up the corners of his mouth in a handsome smile, realizing she was just worried about the expense, not genuinely concerned about him. That brought the jealousy stirring in his heart to an abrupt end.

"I’ll pay the Silver. Let him stay here; he’ll eat your food, drink your drink, wear your clothes, and most importantly, his illness can’t be cured with just any common herbs. Better if he goes with me," Xiao Chen tempted Feng Xuxu, wanting to take the man away to ease his own anxieties.

Feng Xuxu saw the logic in his words and was just about to speak when Jueqing preempted her, "Miss Feng, you can’t listen to him, he came here to kill me. If I go with him, wouldn’t your Silver be wasted?" He looked pitifully at Feng Xuxu, inwardly laughing at the irony. If he left, how could he continue his investigation?

"Moreover, once I’m healed, I can be your guard. You’ve seen for yourself, my martial skills aren’t weak," Jueqing played another trump card, seeing Feng Xuxu wavering, he provocatively glanced at Xiao Chen.

"Woman, this man is very dangerous. I must take him away," Xiao Chen persisted in persuading her.

"I can wear a mask so I won’t be recognized," Jueqing immediately countered with a suggestion from across the room, not the best idea, but if it could get him past Feng Xuxu’s scrutiny, everything else would be negotiable.

Feng Xuxu watched the two men bicker, inwardly weighing her options. Although she didn’t know Xiao Chen’s true identity, she was certain he wasn’t someone just anyone here could compare with. She glanced at the amnesiac man, reasoning that if the number one assassin was sent after him, he must also be no minor character. She furrowed her brows, eventually deciding it was best for everyone to keep Jueqing. Her little villa wouldn’t draw the attention of ordinary people, or even if it did, they’d just think she was a nouveau riche.

"Alright, I’ve decided to keep him," she said, gesturing at the amnesiac man and looking at Xiao Chen. That was the best outcome.

Xiao Chen glared at Feng Xuxu, his eyes as cold as daggers: "Are you sure?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Feng Xuxu shrank back, defiantly saying, "I’m sure, I’m taking this man."

Relieved at her words, Jueqing’s body relaxed, and he just slouched on the sofa. Seeing this, Yingsu and Baihe were in a dilemma, not knowing whether to help or not. Feng Xuxu’s lips curled up sarcastically, "Seeing your master, you don’t even know how to help anymore."
