Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

Chapter 208 Confirmation (Part )

In an instant, a thought arose in Tao Yao's mind, but the words seemed to be stuck in her throat, like a sticky piece of taffy, which she could neither say nor swallow.

Tao Yao shook her head and said, "I don't have anything else to ask."

In fact, she wanted to ask him why he liked her and when he started to like her.

After chatting and finishing their tea, the two said goodbye to the teahouse owner, who warmly asked them if they would come back for tea tomorrow. If so, the owner would give them a free meal.

Chu Huanjun smiled and said, "Okay, okay," but Tao Yao couldn't smile at all—perhaps there wouldn't be a next time. The cold night wind blew over them, lifting the hems of their clothes and letting them flutter in the wind.

The two people's clothes were entangled together, like vines climbing on each other, inseparable.

The two walked side by side in silence for a long time, until the lights on both sides of the street gradually went out. The long and silent night seemed to leave only the two of them in the world. It was so quiet that only the clatter of each other's footsteps could be heard on the bluestone pavement.

After walking a few more steps, they would soon reach Taoyao's shop. Chu Huanjun unconsciously slowed down his pace and watched Taoyao gradually walk ahead of him.

She had donned a fiery red dress to celebrate the opening of her shop. But on this joyous occasion, wearing this fiery red dress, she narrowly escaped assassination, bid farewell to her brother, and now, she was about to say goodbye to him again.

In the past, she always wore ill-fitting coarse cloth clothes and did not look like a daughter of an official family at all - but her whole body revealed an indescribable temperament, and her eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky.

Even though her hair was a mess every day, it couldn't hide the cocky smile on her face. When she smiled, her red lips and white teeth were exposed before his eyes without any disguise. Such unpretentious and pure beauty was something Chu Huanjun rarely saw in his world.

How to catch her?

Chu Huanjun couldn't help but think.

However, he liked her, because she was free and innocent. If she were tied to him and lived in the palace every day, would she still be like this?

Well, the little girl who once couldn't even find clothes that fit her is now able to wear beautiful dresses. She should live happily like this, without having to look at anyone's eyes or ask for anyone's pity, owning her own little world, managing her own little life, and being free.

Noticing Chu Huanjun's slow pace, Tao Yao also slowly stopped and turned to look at him, her expression slightly dazed: "Xiao Chu, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Huanjun laughed and joked, "I walked too much today, my legs are sore."

After saying that, he really pretended to be lame, and slowly moved to Tao Yao's side with one foot high and the other low, mumbling aggrievedly: "It's okay, I can still walk."

The naive Tao Yao was fooled and quickly reached out to support him, saying in a complaining tone, "It's all your fault. Why did you have to abandon the horse? It's late at night, and Qingshui Town is so small. I don't know where to find a horse for you."

Chu Huanjun suddenly turned into a sticky candy, clinging to Tao Yao, his tone sticky: "Why are you looking for a horse? I'm not in a hurry to leave. What? Xiao Tao wants to send me back to the capital?"

Although she was already used to Chu Huanjun's crazy behavior, Tao Yao was still startled when he hugged her so unexpectedly.

"You lied to me!"

Tao Yao frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and when she looked up she saw Chu Huanjun's evil grin, which looked like he had succeeded in his evil plan.

Chu Huanjun was secretly happy in his heart. He loved to see Tao Yao's angry little face the most. It was so adorable that he wanted to reach out and pinch her angry cheeks hard, then take a bite with his mouth to taste what she tasted like.

"Didn't you say your legs were sore? How come you still have so much strength even though your legs are sore?" Tao Yao shouted in a low voice.

Chu Huanjun kept leaning his whole body on Tao Yao's arms. He was obviously two heads taller than her, but he could bend his waist and fall into Tao Yao's arms very freely - a grown man was not shy when he acted coquettishly, and he dared to think and do. Tao Yao really admired him.

Tao Yao had no choice but to drag him forward. As they walked, she warned him in a low voice: "If you have anything to say, talk about it when you get home. Don't get angry in the street."

Chu Huanjun shook his head, still using a sticky tone, and said coquettishly: "Xiao Tao, don't despise me. If you despise me, I will make a louder noise so that the neighbors will know about what happened between us, so that no man will come to steal our house again in the future..."

Tao Yao was shocked. It turned out that Chu Huanjun was even jealous of Tie Niu. Although she found it funny, she quickly covered his mouth and said anxiously, "Don't do anything rash."

Tao Yao had no idea how cunning Chu Huanjun could be. The moment her palm touched his lips, she felt a sudden pain in her knuckles. He had been naughty and had bitten her with his sharp teeth.

Tao Yao suddenly felt something was wrong and tried to pull her hand back, but Chu Huanjun grabbed her wrist and held it firmly in his palm.

Obviously, the sore legs and feet are all a trick.

Chu Huanjun held Tao Yao down all the way, pushing her into a dark corner. Behind her was a high wall, and Tao Yao's body was out of her control. She was caught off guard and bumped into it, letting out a startled cry.

But the next moment, she felt something soft on her back. It was Chu Huanjun who was protecting her waist and back with his arms.

It was pitch black all around, and Tao Yao couldn't see a thing. She had no idea what was about to happen to her. She only felt her hands being firmly restrained by the other party, raised above her head, unable to move.

The familiar pine scent came over again, like a wet mist, enveloping her from all sides and gradually eroding her entire body.

"What are you going to do!"

Taoyao screamed.

As soon as she uttered these words, the empty surroundings immediately echoed with them. Suddenly, a woman's voice came from above: "Who are you? Making such a commotion here so late at night? Can't you let me sleep properly?"

Tao Yao was startled, and immediately felt something soft covering her lips. The next moment, her tongue was pried open, and the familiar fragrance of Longjing tea once again swept across her mouth and tongue.

It was a moist, tender kiss.

Just like a long-rusted pottery dish that has been through a drizzle, soft, moist, fresh and fragrant moss grows out from the old body and bones, slowly covering the ugly surface with a layer of spring green.

She didn't reject him. To be honest, she missed him a little these days.

After a long time, he released his lips, gently placed the tip of his nose on her brow bone, and then gently kissed her eyelashes.
