Chapter 259 Xie Zhongzhi Faints
Qin Jiuwei, however, did not notice the commotion at the door.
At this moment, Xie Jue tilted his head, looking innocent and cute, staring at her intently.
Qin Jiuwei's heart almost melted.
She reached out and tapped his little nose. "Okay, here's a kiss for our little hero."
She leaned down and kissed Xie Jue on the cheek.
The little one immediately smiled, his eyes crinkling with delight, looking completely content.
He proudly raised his little face at his two older brothers.
Xie Jingchun, Xie Jing: ...
Xie Yanli watched the group laughing and joking without saying a word, but his expression grew even gentler.
It was late at night, and only a dim yellow light shone in the room, making the whole place quiet and peaceful.
Qin Jiuwei leaned against the bed, half-resting on Xie Yanli's shoulder.
She took Xie Yanli's large hand, held it in her own hand and played with it, saying softly, "I have to thank you for being able to rescue Liu'er this time."
"Thank me?" Xie Yanli turned his gaze.
"Yes, thank you for leaving the bodyguards with me." Qin Jiuwei looked into his eyes, her tone slightly amused. "Tell me, what do you want? I'll reward you."
Xie Yanli raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on her face.
"Then, kiss me."
Qin Jiuwei: ...This sentence sounds familiar.
Xie Jue seems to have said the exact same thing today.
This father and son are really...
At this moment, Xie Yanli lowered his eyes, his deep gaze filled with her.
Their eyes met, and Qin Jiuwei's heart skipped a beat.
The two of them have been busy with the epidemic during this period and have indeed not been close to each other for a long time.
She pursed her pink lips, leaned in, and gently kissed his cheek.
Xie Yanli felt the soft touch on his cheek and the corners of his lips curled up.
He then pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "I really like this reward."
Qin Jiuwei was held tightly by him, and a faint blush rose on her face.
Even his eyebrows and eyes were tinged with a vibrant color, and Xie Yanli's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily as he saw it.
He suddenly reached out and stroked her cheek with his fingertips, his gaze deep and carrying a hint of predation.
Xie Yanli slowly lowered his head, his lips brushing against her ear, and whispered, "Madam..."
Immediately afterwards, Qin Jiuwei felt his warm lips press against her earlobe, kissing it gently, and then slowly moving down to linger on her neck.
The air seemed to thicken.
"Husband..." Her voice trembled slightly, like a frail butterfly.
Xie Yanli didn't speak, but his lips landed on her collarbone and gently nibbled at it.
Her hands unconsciously climbed onto his shoulders.
His body heat seeped through her clothes, making her feel as if her whole body was being roasted.
Qin Jiuwei's thoughts were thrown into chaos by him, and her rationality completely vanished.
The bed curtains were drawn, the candlelight flickered, and soft breathing arose.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice suddenly rang out in the room.
"What if you run away too?"
While Qin Jiuwei was still in a daze, Xie Yanli suddenly blurted out this sentence.
"What?" Qin Jiuwei opened her misty eyes, thinking she had misheard.
But when she met Xie Yanli's deep, dark eyes, she realized that he was serious.
Qin Jiuwei couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. She raised her hand to stroke his cheek and said in a low, weak voice, "Why would you think that?"
"Answer me first," Xie Yanli said earnestly.
Qin Jiu smiled slightly, looked into his eyes, and said slowly and deliberately, "No, I will not leave you."
"Really?" Xie Yanli was still uneasy.
"real."
Xie Yanli bent down and hugged Qin Jiuwei even tighter.
Feeling her body temperature and smelling her fragrance filled my empty heart, and my breathing became much easier.
He didn't know why this happened.
Perhaps it was because of the secret she had never told him, or perhaps it was because of the turbulent situation in the court.
All of this has brought too many unknowns to their future...
On the other side, outside the city.
Xie Zhongzhi walked unsteadily, his eyes were sunken, and his bloodshot eyes revealed the exhaustion of not having slept all night.
His face was gloomy, and he looked depressed and desperate.
He searched outside the city all night yesterday, but couldn't find even a trace of Xu Liuer.
He pursed his dry lips, mounted his horse, and prepared to continue his search.
The servant cautiously approached and whispered, "Second Young Master, you've been searching all night. Why don't you rest for a while and then think of another way..."
"Shut up!" Xie Zhongzhi shouted before he could finish speaking.
His gaze was sharp as he coldly swept over the man. "Have you found the person? I think you all want to rest! No one is allowed to rest until the person is found!"
The servant shrank back after being scolded, but still tentatively spoke up: "But Second Young Master, I'm really worried about your health. You haven't rested all night..."
"Enough!" Xie Zhongzhi waved his hand sharply, interrupting him. "Stop talking nonsense and get out there and go find it!"
He had to find Xu Liuer! How could she dare leave him!
Seeing this, the servant could only lower his head and remain silent, quickly retreating to the side, not daring to say another word.
They searched for another two days.
Xie Zhongzhi hadn't closed his eyes. Having failed to find the location around the capital, he began searching the streets and alleys of the city.
His steps grew heavier and heavier, his lips cracked and turned white, yet he showed no sign of stopping.
On the third day, at the entrance of a small alley, Xie Zhongzhi swayed a few times and finally couldn't hold on any longer.
His knees buckled and he fell forward.
"Second Young Master! Second Young Master!" the servant cried out, but Xie Zhongzhi had already lost consciousness.
The Marquis's Residence, Zhiyuan Courtyard.
"Father, you're awake."
When Xie Zhongzhi woke up, the first thing he saw was Xie Siyuan's wooden and cold face.
He lifted his heavy eyelids and fixed his gaze on Xie Siyuan's face.
Eyes, nose, lips... He desperately tried to find some resemblance to Liu'er on his face.
However, the more he looked, the heavier his heart became.
No, nothing.
Xie Siyuan looks like him; his features are exactly like his when he was young, without a trace of Xu Liuer.
She left, leaving nothing behind.
Even their child doesn't look like her at all...
She acted as if she had never been there.
How could she be so cruel!
Despair surged through Xie Zhongzhi's heart like a tidal wave, and he opened his mouth but could not utter a sound.
“Father, you are completely on the wrong track,” Xie Siyuan said.
Xie Zhongzhi frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
“Father, think about it carefully. How could Mother have escaped on her own? Someone must have rescued her.”
Xie Siyuan recounted the black-clad man who suddenly appeared that night.
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhongzhi sat up abruptly, his expression instantly turning sharp.
"Who sent these men in black?"
Xie Siyuan smiled and slowly said, "What does Father think?"
He stood ramrod straight, his youthful face revealing a precocious calmness.
Xie Zhongzhi's gaze grew increasingly sinister.
Suddenly, I looked up and a name flashed through my mind.
Qin Jiuwei! It's her! It must be her who rescued Liu'er!
