Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter Chapter 193

A warm whisper came by her ear, which sounded familiar and instantly calmed Mo Xuetong down who was just anxious, “Don't speak. It's me!” Feng Yuran? Since the day she passed out in his arms, his voice had been engraved on her brain. She felt relaxed without any reasons.

As expected, a whisper from him came again to her ear, “Stop biting me. It hurts a lot.”

Therefore, she blankly let go of him. When she was about to ask, she was held tightly in his arms and her body seemed to be lifted a little higher.

By her ear came the light sound of people walking by, which would have been ignored if she hadn't been watching. Through the gap in his clothes, she saw a man in black who carefully walked by with a shiny long sword in his hand. The mottled stains of blood showed that he had already taken an action.

Mo Xuetong didn't dare to take a long breath more.

From their sight of view, she could tell they were in a high position above the rockery cave. Feng Yuran must be hanging up high onto someplace while holding her.

Another man in black showed up in the scene, also carrying a long sword, “How was it? Did you find the guy?”

The first man in black, who was obviously the one she had heard before, said gravely, “There is no one. How strange! I've heard a sound.”

The second man in black said impatiently, “Maybe it's a stone falling. Don't worry about it. We shall take action separately and don't spoil it.”

“Okay!”

The two figures disappeared instantly.

The wind blew by the rockery and made some slight sound. Suddenly, it was quiet there and the heartbeats were the only sounds left there. Mo Xuetong knew it was the heartbeats of Feng Yuran. With no reason, she felt her heart beating irregularly. Her face turned red and she pushed him with a little effort, which meant that she wanted him to release her.

A lazy voice from him sounded like fine wine by her ear, “Don't move! They haven't gone yet!” The clear sound of the breath of his came into her ear and made that side of her face burn. But she knew he was right, so she just stayed still in his arms and didn't dare to make any sound.

As expected, in a while, the two men in black appeared by the rockery and the cold light of the long sword hurt her eyes.

“There is really nobody!”

“Then we should go our separate ways. That girl is dead. Did you clean it up?”

“It's done completely. Let's go, or we'll get blocked here in a while.”

They chatted a bit and then disappeared in the darkness.

Mo Xuetong was afraid they would come back again, so she didn't move at all and obediently stayed in Feng Yuran's arms. She just opened those bright watery eyes and secretly looked outside. Her careful behavior looked extremely cute. If the wound on his hand didn't hurt like this, Feng Yuran might just think she was a harmless rabbit. Remembering how she sharply and fiercely bit him, he just followed his instincts and held her even more tightly.

He felt the slim and soft body obediently leaned on him, and a glamorous smile unconsciously appeared by his lips.

He felt quite good!

After quite a while, there was no sound outside. Mo Xuetong curiously moved her body and said nervously in a low voice, “Did they leave?”

She didn't hear Feng Yuran's voice for quite a while, and thought there was still somebody left there. She didn't dare to pant aloud.

Suddenly, by her ear came Feng Yuran's lazy voice, which sounded a bit ironic, “There was no one a long time ago. Why does Tong'er still hold me so tightly?”

Mo Xuetong felt dizzy because of anger, “You…” She pushed him with her hand to get away from him. But she suddenly felt he was dropping, feeling shocked, she began to pull him back.

They lightly landed on the ground. Then Mo Xuetong pushed Feng Yuran away with much effort. However, she got slipped and lost her balance. Again, she fell back into his arms which were still open to her.

Feng Yuran lifted his lips and proudly said to Mo Xuetong who was trying to stand steadily, “I've just had enough hugging you, then you come again.” But his hand was still on her waist and didn't let go. He signed to her to be quiet. Then his eyes were fixed on a maid next to the rockery and turned cold.

Mo Xuetong noticed his abnormality and was trying to turn around when he pressed and lift her body out of the rockery. He didn't let her go until they directly landed on an empty attic across the rockery.

Mo Xuetong only saw a piece of the maid's clothes because they moved too fast. There seemed to be bloodstains on the clothes, which made Mo Xuetong shocked, “What happened to that maid?” Today there was a feast and all families of important officials showed up in the inner yard. If a maid was found dead in the inner yard, it would be a huge deal.

Feng Yuran seated himself on the chair, and pointed at the other chair, signaling to Mo Xuetong to sit down, “Dead.”

Dead. She was killed in such a short period. Mo Xuetong hesitated and was blank. She was not afraid of death. Besides, she had already died once. She just thought it was getting weirder and weirder and couldn't help frowning. There were men in black in the inner yard, and they were looking for her mother's old yard. Was it that deserted yard…?

Feng Yuran changed the topic and his eyes became bright again. His eyes landed on her hand which was covered by the long sleeve and an attractive smile showed up on his face, “What are you doing here? Have all the wounds on your hand recovered?”

Mo Xuetong suddenly remembered what had happened that night and bowed gently, “Thanks for King Xuan's help. If you have any request in the future, I'll never let you down.” He really saved her life. Under that circumstance, her survival should be owed to his help. She really didn't know what to do with him.

She just knew that on that day, in such a desperate condition, she just felt complete trust when seeing him…

When her brain stopped thinking, she just felt his voice and his body heat which both contained much warmth warming her whole frozen heart. That kind of care was not even given by her mother. At that moment, she really thought she would die and would end up dying with that horrible man.

But he saved her at that moment…

By then, her mind was confused. She just held onto that warmth with her instincts. Now she woke up, but she didn't know how to face him! She couldn't still treat him with caution. But did he treat her with sincerity? She wasn't so confident so as to believe she could defeat so many beauties in his manor.

But if not, why did he do all these! She bit her lips and was indeed confused. Looking at the boy who was handsome like a demon, she just didn't know what to do. In the past, she could use her alienation and coldness to build a wall of caution between them. But now, she was too confused to do anything about it. She could just behave herself and say plain words as a courtesy.

However, Feng Yuran said impolitely, “Anyway, you owed me and can't pay me back in a short time. There will be plenty of time in the future, and you just need to keep that in mind. Now, there is a thing you can do for me.” His spotless face was quite clear in the light and his gestures looked elegant. He wore a purple robe which was inlaid with the figures of dragons. It looked like the formal clothing of a duke. At the sleeves of the robe was the head of a dragon which pointed directly to heaven. The robe made him seem even more noble and dignified.

Mo Xuetong couldn't follow his mind and said plainly, “What's that?”

“It's no big deal. My father will choose consorts for me in a while. I don't like too many women in my manor, so I only agreed to marry one main consort. Too many women in the manor will cause too much trouble. My manor needs a thorough clean-up.”

Your manor didn't need too many women. If you needed, it might be impossible to go into your gate. Mo Xuetong secretly murmured about that but looked very agreeable to his words. He had done her a great favor and was qualified to say these words in front of her.

He just said it and she just listened to him!

Feng Yuran said lazily with his slim eyes lifted up as if he were asking about what the weather was like today, “I need a person who can be in charge of the back yard in my manor, which made my head ache. Would you please come to help me?”

Was he proposing?

Mo Xuetong opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, “…”

Feng Yuran stood up and lifted his eyebrows. There was a slight smile by his lips, which looked proud and would cause hatred of others, “It's a deal. You're still young, and I'm not too old. I can use you as an excuse to put it off. I don't want everyone in my manor to be others' spy.”

Mo Xuetong couldn't keep quiet anymore, and she had to declare her own attitude, “But, Your Highness…”

Feng Yuran arbitrarily interrupted her words, and changed the subject to why she was here, “Forget about that. What are you going hurriedly to this quiet place for?”

This question reminded Mo Xuetong, she made a sound of “ah” and didn't want to say anything more to him. Now that she counted the time after the incident, something about Mo Xueyan might have happened. She didn't dare to think about that anymore. And then she lifted up her long dress and ran to the staircase.

After only two steps, she was pulled by Feng Yuran with much strength, “Why are you running?”

At the moment, she couldn't think anything more and wanted to get rid of him, “Mo Xueyan was going to the outer yard!” By then, something might have been caused by Mo Xueyan, she had to make up for it.

Mo Xueyan was going to the outer yard!

Her words were not so clear, but Feng Yuran understood the meaning of her words instantly. But his hand still held onto hers and he said with a calm smile, “You can't control it if your Second Sister wants to get married. Now, are you going to recognize a relative?”

It meant she was too late!

These words made Mo Xuetong even more worried, and she tried to wave his hand away but she couldn't and wondered what was in his mind. But she couldn't offend him and only had to turn around, bite her lips, and said aggrievedly, “You should let go of me. My grandma doesn't know Mo Xueyan is also here. If something really happens, who can put an end to it for her?”

Feng Yuran said smilingly, “No matter who will help her, it won't be you who is her younger sister. You haven't got yourself married, but start to worry about your older sister's marriage.” When he saw her face turn dark and unkind, he knew she was really angry and said, “Don't worry. Even if your Second Sister wants to go to outer yard, she can't.”

These words sounded odd. Mo Xuetong stopped for a while, and then her eyes brightened and she cutely looked at Feng Yuran. Although King Xuan's character was hard to guess, he hadn't done anything to let her down. Now that he said the words, the situation might not be as bad as she thought.

Her watery eyes were bright and shiny like a clear spring, “Your Highness, did anything happen at the second door?” She fluttered her long eyelashes and someone's heart trembled with them. His mood immediately turned better and he decided to forgive her.

Feng Yuran calmly walked back and sat down. Then he glimpsed at her and smiled, “What could happen at the second door of Fu General Manor? Besides, the clothes you wore today was not beautiful at all. You should dress more beautifully next time.”

His words were truly annoying and he expected her begging him. However, she really had to beg for his help.

She glanced at him with much nervousness. Then she just put her dignity aside and said obediently, “Okay, it's my fault. I'll get dressed in beautiful purple clothes the next time and make your eyes light up. Now I have to ask you, can you tell me what happened at the second door?”

He liked purple that much. She thought all the other color might be equally ugly in his eyes!

Hearing her answer his question so honestly, Feng Yuran suddenly laughed out, which was not that kind of vague expression of smiling but pure joy!
