Peerless Heiress - Chapter 45
Heh, how did I end up here? Of course, you brought me here. Even though it's just your body, it's still you, isn't it? I chuckled inwardly.
But I deliberately rolled my eyes and said impatiently, "What are you doing here? Of course I'm here to have fun. But you, tell me honestly, did you follow me here?" As I said this, I deliberately took two steps back warily and looked him up and down for a while, as if he were some kind of villain.
Seeing my expression and actions, a flash of anger and arrogance crossed Dark Night's face, then he looked at me suspiciously: "Want to play?"
I desperately suppressed the laughter in my heart and nodded expressionlessly: "Of course."
Chapter 102: Compensation
My voice was righteous and stern: "Who exactly are you? The last two times you suddenly appeared in my house and almost strangled me, and I didn't even bother with you. Today, today again... Ah—I know, you must have followed me here today, right? You, you, you, what exactly do you want? Let me tell you, although my family is a little wealthy, I won't be threatened by anyone. Even if you want to kill me, I'm not afraid. Besides, besides, I have many friends. If you dare to kill me, my friends will definitely not let you off the hook. You, you... you get out of here right now."
I stammered out a long string of words, looking like I was terrified but desperately trying to be strong, staring at him with a stern face.
An Ye's lips twitched for a while, and his expression was also very strange.
He seemed to be recalling something, and after a long while, he finally spoke: "You don't recognize me?"
Although his voice was still extremely cold, his tone had softened, but the suspicion in his eyes was even stronger, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
"I'd be a fool to even know you," I snapped. "You've almost strangled me to death several times. I'd rather never know someone like you in my entire life."
Dark Night snorted coldly and turned around.
I quietly stuck out my tongue and breathed a sigh of relief.
He slowly walked out of the valley, leaving behind the words, "Don't come to this valley again."
Hmph, why should I come less often? Just because it's yours? Who cares? If you don't let me come, I'll come even more!
Quietly riding his horse, he followed behind An Ye out of the valley, and after turning a corner, he disappeared from sight.
Huh? Where did they go in such a short time? I stood on the small slope, looking around. There was no one in sight. Just as I was feeling frustrated, a cold voice rang out behind me: "If you weren't following me, what are you doing? Who are you?"
I was startled and turned around, clutching my chest. Sure enough, I saw Dark Night standing coldly to one side, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light.
I smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Um, I... I got lost."
An Ye stared at me coldly, without saying a word.
"Really, I'm really lost." I quickly explained, "I just had a fight with my friend and rode my horse off into the mountains early this morning. It was still dark when I got to that valley. I don't know how I got there, so... I can't go back now. I'm so hungry, and I'm too scared to stay in the mountains alone. Can you take me back?"
I stared at him intently, without blinking.
The night was silent, yet his gaze was as cold as ice, as if carrying a hint of frozen silence.
"Please, please." I grabbed his sleeve. "Just consider it compensation for the several times you almost killed me, uh, and I'll let it go, okay?"
I continued to fawn over him with an air of self-righteousness, ignoring his gaze.
After a long while, two words were heard, seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth: "Let go."
ah?!
oh.
"Fine, I'll let go then," I shrugged indifferently, withdrew my clutches, lowered my head, and pretended not to see the two sticky clumps of silver threads and tiny fish scales on his sleeve.
With a sharp "whoosh," two sleeves flew into the grass as Dark Night waved his hand. Dark Night spurred his horse and charged down like a gust of wind.
I suppressed a laugh, glanced back at the corner of blue cloth in the grass, and chased after it, yelling, "Wow, slow down! I just learned to ride a horse, oh no, I'm going to fall off! Ouch!"
The figure in the darkness was stiff, as if it hadn't heard me, and disappeared in a flash. But at every turn, as I slowly rounded the corner, I would always see the sudden sound of its hooves and its proud, black-clad figure.
Chapter 103: Awkward
Even after entering the city, my master still hadn't returned; Dark Night was still in control of my body. I quietly followed behind Dark Night's horse, secretly observing his back.
He wore a dark blue robe with gold trim, and dark embroidery that shimmered faintly in the sunlight. The same body, when possessed by his master, appeared bewitching and alluring, his handsome features tinged with a rosy glow. But when he awoke alone, he appeared lonely and proud, walking amidst the bustling crowd, yet his noble aloofness seemed completely out of place with everything around him.
This person doesn't seem like an assassin.
It really doesn't look like it.
However, he was none other than the assassin Dark Night.
I curled my lips slightly, and excitement shone in my eyes.
There is even more anticipation and interest in uncovering and exposing his true identity.
Dark night, one day you will regret it, regret that you shouldn't have provoked me.
That day is not far off.
﹏﹏
The horse in the dark suddenly stopped, and I, who was chuckling to myself, almost bumped into it. I quickly pulled on the reins, exaggeratedly patted my chest, and complained, "Hey, if you're going to stop, at least give me a heads-up! Seriously."
Dark Night seemed not to hear me, only coldly saying, "Why are you still following me? Get away!"
Well?!
I paused for a moment, then rolled my eyes.
It's really awkward.
I glared at him: "I'll go with you if I want, what's it to you?"
An Ye's cold gaze swept over them in a flash.
