Chapter 100: His Anxiety (Second Update)

  The joy of losing and regaining overflowed in his chest, but all he could do was gaze at her tightly, holding her, never letting her have the chance to slip away from his arms again.

  After a while, Xiao Fengxue slowed down and asked softly: "What happened after all?"

  Even someone as calm as her was made to feel a chill run down her spine by his gaze.

  "No." He replied in a low voice, burying his head in her hair, deeply inhaling her breath.

  She wanted to ask more, but a snore interrupted her thoughts, and she suddenly blushed and buried her head in his arms.

  He gently looked at the girl hiding in his arms and wrapped her tighter with both hands: "Are you hungry?"

  Xiao Feng Xue nodded silently.

  "What would you like to eat? I'll have the chef make it."

  "I want to eat what you've made."

  He paused for a moment, his eyes gleaming with amusement as he pulled her closer, whispering softly, "Let's eat what Chen Mama made first, and next time I'll make it for you, okay?"

  "Good." Xiao Fengxue furrowed her brow, feeling that he was being strange today, as if... he was afraid she would slip away when he wasn't looking?

  Every subtle expression of hers was seen by him, and when she slightly furrowed her brow, he almost blurted out an agreement to help her cook, but he still held back.

  After all, he was still afraid, and had never been so afraid of something before.

  Xiao Fengxue didn't realize that her body had gone numb and her limbs were stiff until he held her up, seemingly having maintained a posture for a long time.

  Dazed for a moment, my mind was momentarily dazed.

  Seeing her somewhat unsteady, Emperor Liang directly swept her up in his arms and carried her horizontally.

  Mrs. Chen, who was standing outside the door, had been guarding the entrance with a worried face since Emperor Liang went in. She was afraid that Young Master would do something reckless, but she hesitated and didn't dare to knock on the door.

  Because she knew that young master's living environment since childhood had cultivated his proud bones, and he would never want others to see his weakness.

  So she could only anxiously wait outside and pray that nothing happened to him.

  Hearing the faint sound of the door opening behind her, Chen's mother's eyes lit up, and she turned to see that her young master had returned to his usual self, regaining his former cold and composed demeanor, no longer exuding a dark and lifeless aura, and she immediately felt relieved.

  At a glance, he saw the pale-faced girl in his arms, and the astonishment at the bottom of her eyes flashed by. How could she have clearly lost her breath just now...

  "Master, Miss is not..."

  Di Liang's eyes narrowed as he gazed at her with an icy stare, his deep eyes filled with endless coldness and darkness, causing Chen Ma's face to pale.

  Chen's mother had taken care of Di Liang Xun for so many years, although he still showed no expression towards her, but she knew that he was cold on the outside and warm on the inside, and she was important to him, at least not dispensable.

  She followed him for five years and had never seen Young Master look at her with such a gaze, murderous aura, and she actually saw the murderous aura from within!

  Chen's mother took a few steps back, stumbling, she knew that she had touched his sore spot.

  "Xun, Chen's mother is just worried about me." Xiao Fengxue furrowed his brow, signaling him to stop.

  After all, Chen's mother had always been very good to him. She could see that she really cared about him. Last time when he mentioned Di Liang Xun to her, the kindness and heartache in her eyes were not fake.

  Chen's mother had just seen the expression, including that fleeting astonishment, she felt something was wrong but couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she automatically attributed all this to Chen's mother being concerned.

  But Emperor Liang was still treating her like this, which was obviously excessive.

  Di Liang Xun gazed at the person in his arms, whose face clearly showed a hint of blame. He pursed his lips and stopped troubling Chen Mama, carrying her to the dining hall downstairs.

  Downstairs, looking out the window and door, it was pitch black, but the lights on the lawn were as bright as the stars in the night sky.

  Xiao Feng was taken aback for a moment before realizing it had already become evening.

  She clearly felt she had only dozed off for an hour.

  It's strange to say, but it was the first time her body reacted to the drug and she fainted from being frozen.

  At that moment when she fainted, she almost thought she would never wake up again. Fortunately, she was still alive. She was so afraid that she could no longer open her eyes and see the people she cared about.

  Parents, the people of the God group, and... Emperor Liang Xun.

  At mealtimes, no matter how much Xiao Fengxue protested, Emperor Leng Xuan insisted on holding her in his arms and feeding her mouthful by mouthful. The deep affection hidden in his eyes made it impossible for her to refuse.

  Looking at the several male servants standing beside her, although they were very professional and didn't glance at her sideways, she still felt very embarrassed, her face burning with heat.

  Di Liangxun saw the situation and directly waved his hand to dismiss everyone. The male servants uniformly bowed and left in an orderly manner, trained as they were. In an instant, the entire hall was empty.

  Xiao Fengxue's mouth twitched at the corner as she instantly associated this scene with an ancient emperor.

  Di Liang Xun felt something was off, this was the feeling he had about Xiao Feng Xue tonight.

  It's okay if he just eats with her, but why does she follow him wherever he goes and never leave his side?

  "Xun, it's time for a bath."

  "Mm." He responded, his large hand still resting on her waist.

  A bead of sweat trickled down her forehead, so how was she supposed to take a bath?

  "Can you let me go first?"

  Upon hearing this, the hand on her waist tightened slightly, and Emperor Liang's lips pursed in silence.

  "I won't run away." She frowned, did he have to look at her so tightly as if she were a criminal?

  The man looked at her deeply, raised his hand, and gently smoothed out the wrinkles between her eyebrows, as if struggling for a while before letting go of her.

  Waiting for her to come out of the bath, Emperor Liang sought her as usual, but it was not the kind of fiery eyes that appreciated and loved her every day.

  Xiao Fengxue finally couldn't bear it: "Di Liangxun! What's wrong with me? Do you have to stare at me like this?"

  "No." He looked at her again and then turned around and walked into the bathroom.

  The speed of his bath was simply unbelievable, if not for the water droplets on his hair and a few drops of water hanging from his chest, she would have thought he just went in to change clothes hastily!

  The problem came again at midnight.

  Xiao Fengxue felt her body being compressed and restrained in her sleep, subconsciously struggling, the vines wrapped around her tightened, not allowing her to break free.

  Opened eyes met a pair of dark, slightly tired eyes, shining with deep emotions and focus in the darkness.

  Noticing her discomfort, he slightly loosened his grip on her hand but still didn't let go.

  His eyes were always like that, as if he was afraid she would suddenly slip away, uneasy and tense, as if something terrible would happen if he didn't pay attention.

  Suddenly, she felt a sourness in her eyes, "Xun, what exactly happened?"

  In the darkness, he pursed his lips again.

  "Tell me, is it okay?" She gently stroked his eyes with her hand.

  A pair of eyes like this should be as deep and cold as the first time she saw them, not flickering so restlessly.

  "Shh, don't ask." He pulled her hand out and stuffed it back under the covers, his warm large hands gently rubbing hers, afraid of touching any cold spot on her body.

  Xiao Fengxue was lying in his arms, feeling somewhat displeased. She didn't like this; it was obviously about her, yet the people around her were deliberately hiding something and not telling her anything.

  Thank you for the long comment and reward from Sun Smile, um, don't forget that there is also a reward of 1,000 coins from Si Jing. Yesterday, someone rewarded me with 200 coins, but I'm not sure if it's just the back-end showing income without a name, so I'd like to thank this mysterious benefactor here.

  Tonight I was planning to update two more chapters, but Xi Jing this sister is afraid that I will die from exhaustion and refuses to let me, let's see if it's possible to sneak them up later, haha.
