62. Back to the City

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Siluan, get up! I’ve got some steamed buns.”

Looking at Helian Chacha who was still in the bed, Chu Jianmo could easily tell that she had already waked up. However, her eyes were still closed, which made him quite confused.

He had some bad feelings yet it was hard for him to explain what those actually were.

Her stomach was rumbling.

Helian Chacha wasn’t ready to cope with him, so she wanted to avoid talking to him by pretending to sleep, yet her rumbling stomach turned herself in.

Opening her eyes, she saw Chu Jianmo standing in front of her dressed in white. His angelic face had a warm smile as usual, but that only made Helian Chacha feel a coldness coming from the bottom of her heart.

She could never convince herself that the man standing in front of her right now was in fact the cold-blooded prince last night.

“What’s wrong? Do I have something on my face?”

Seeing that Helian Chacha had been staring at him, Chu Jianmo touched his face unconsciously, and he still didn’t find out anything strange.

Turning away her eyes in a flurry, Helian Chacha looked at the blue tiles in the corner instead.

Maybe it was because of the early frost in autumn; there was some water dripping down from the mossy tiles.

Helian Chacha decided to find out the truth about that night to make sure if she misinterpreted something.

If Chu Jianmo trusted her and told her the truth, she would choose to stay with him as before.

Suddenly, a handsome face came into Helian Chacha’s mind.

Helian Chacha felt a quiver and got up immediately. “Am I crazy? It took me so much trouble to escape from that man, and how come I keep thinking of him?”

“What happened?”

Chu Jianmo sat next to Helian Chacha naturally and put his hand on her shoulder. He actually didn’t know what to do when she was acting like that.

“I’m just so hungry…”

Helian Chacha shrugged unconsciously and then glued her eyes on the steamed buns in Chu Jianmo’s hands. After all, feeding herself was her priority at that moment.

The steamed buns smelled so good and they were still steaming.

“I’ve got more. No need to rush. Dig in…”

Helian Chacha was quite flustered, so she could only devour the buns instead of thinking anything else.

Seeing that Helian Chacha was so busy stuffing her mouth with the food, Chu Jianmo giggled.

“Get some water.”

Taking over the teapot from the servant, Chu Jianmo kept smiling at her and that made her want to rely on him unconsciously.

Helian Chacha could barely relate a man like him to the man she had seen last night.

After drinking 2 glasses of water in silence, Helian Chacha started to stare at Chu Jianmo seriously.

“Are you sure you want to give up all the fortune and fame just to elope with me?”

Helian Chacha looked at the face of Chu Jianmo firmly as she wouldn’t want to miss a single expression on his face.

Chu Jianmo was stunned a bit as the bad feelings in his mind got even worse. He felt that Helian Chacha might have already found out everything.

His bright eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked down and thought, “If that was the case, then I should not keep Helian Chacha alive.”

“Those things are nothing compared to you. Siluan, don’t you believe me?”

He looked up and the coldness in his eyes disappeared completely. Chu Jianmo looked at Helian Chacha in front of him with his pitiful eyes as if he had been hurt badly in heart.

“I…”

Helian Chacha hesitated at that time as she was not sure if she should show her hands to Chu Jianmo directly.

However, Chu Jianmo pulled Helian Chacha up from the bed all of a sudden and hid directly behind the broken screen nearby.

Before she could realize what had happened, Helian Chacha was then shocked by the three men in black appeared in the courtyard.

“Sir, the county bureau just reported that no one left the city last night. So Her Highness must still be in the city.”

Zhuifeng checked the courtyard and came quickly to where Helian Chacha had slept.

“It’s still warm. Go get them!”

After looking at the screen for a few seconds, Zhuifeng finally left with his men.

Not until the entire room resumed its lifeless look as before, did Chu Jianmo let go of her hand.

“Don’t you trust me?”

If Chu Jianmo trusted her, he would not have covered her mouth all the time when Zhuifeng had not left this place.

With a flash of panic in his eyes, Chu Jianmo held Helian Chacha’s hand tightly once again.

“Siluan, no matter what you have heard, just believe me that everything I have done is because I want to be with you.”

He was almost certain at this moment that Helian Chacha must have found something out.

Without giving him a quick response, Helian Chacha looked at the man in front of her seriously as he was a stranger to her right now.

“Let’s go back to the city.”

Helian Chacha proposed firmly. Actually, her mind was a complete mess right now. But she suddenly had the feeling that maybe the cold man in the palace was the only one who could give her enough security.

Chu Jianmo stared at Helian Chacha coldly as his face suddenly went frozen.

“No way! Since you have already left that place with me, how can I agree with you to go back? Don’t you know what His Majesty really thinks of you?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Helian Chacha was really confused.

“You really have no idea?”

Chu Jianmo was shocked again. The entire capital city knew what Ye Shengxuan was thinking of, then how could Helian Chacha actually know nothing about it?

“What?”

Suddenly, Helian Chacha covered her mouth with her hand and looked at Chu Jianmo in a shock.

“Please don’t tell me that the iceman likes me.”

But what surprised Helian Chacha was that, although Chu Jianmo was her Prince Charming, she didn’t feel anything unpleasant when she had just said that Ye Shengxuan liked her. Actually, she felt a little bit delighted.

Helian Chacha looked closely at Chu Jianmo in front of her while trying to get rid of that weird feeling inside her heart by shaking her head.

“You really don’t know?”

Chu Jianmo’s question was actually the answer to Helian Chacha’s puzzle.

Helian Chacha recalled something instantly.

According to what Chu Jianmo had said last night, he was the one who had put the venom into her body. And now the venom had already gone because of the help of Ye Shengxuan. Wait, she really needed to go back to check out if Ye Shengxuan was alright or not.

“If we go back to the capital city, His Majesty will not blame us for sure.”

Helian Chacha confirmed her assumption once again that Chu Jianmo was just taking advantage of her. When she made sure that Ye Shengxuan was still alive back there, she would leave and go explore the world.

After seeing the sudden change of Chu Jianmo’s face, Helian Chacha felt that she was sinking into darkness right away.

With the sound of stepping on dried grass, four men in black showed up in front of Chu Jianmo.

“Why would you keep a woman like her, Your Highness?”

The old man sounded very unpleasant, and without waiting for the response of Chu Jianmo, he shot out 2 silver needles from his sleeve.

“Your Highness?”

The silver needles were stopped by Chu Jianmo with his power 2 inches away from Helian Chacha’s head.

“I’ll say it once again. She is the woman I brought out here. I am the only one to decide how to deal with her.”

His eyes turned super cold as if they were totally frozen. Chu Jianmo’s angelic looking disappeared completely as he looked now like nothing but a Shura from hell whose killing intention could easily stop anyone from getting close to him.

It was already after midnight, but Ye Shengxuan was still standing upright at the gate of Yangxin Hall. Seeing that Shiao Qi was coming, he went directly to greet him.

“Tell me the result.”

Holding Shiao Qi who was trying to bow, Ye Shengxuan asked immediately as he could no longer wait. His eyes were now filled with eagerness, obviously.
