Chapter 174 - 174: Uncontrollable Kiss (3)
Even Li Changning could not help but laugh.
“Hahahaha!”
Everyone laughed. Li Chun even threw away his pen and burst into laughter.
Amidst the commotion, Xie Xingyun raised his eyes slightly and casually glanced at Bai Xianyu.
His hand was on his knee, and his half-closed dark eyes made it impossible for one to see any emotions. Leaves fluttered, and the skylarks whispered. The people around him laughed non-stop, but he was lonely and cold.
Bai Xianyu spoke to Li Changming for a while before looking around to see where Mo Linyuan was. When she saw that he was not around, she asked Li Changming, “Mo Linyuan isn’t here yet?”
Li Changming smiled and said, “No, I didn’t even see him. He’s probably still packing up.”
It was still early. Bai Xianyu nodded. Seeing that Li Jing and the others were chatting in full swing, she did not want to get close.
In fact, Bai Xianyu and Ji Shuang both liked to help when they saw injustice. However, their methods were different. After what happened last time, she felt that Li Jing and this person could no longer be merely described as idiotic and flirtatious. Forcefully snatching a married woman in full view of the public was trashing his own reputation. It also made her feel resistant.
Hence, she and Li Changming stood there and chatted. After about half an hour, there was still no sign of Mo Linyuan. Bai Xianyu frowned slightly.
There were just two days left. If it was not today, then it would be tomorrow. At such a critical juncture, Bai Xianyu did not dare to delay any longer, so she bade farewell to Li Changming and said that she wanted to walk around alone.
Li Changming nodded.
Xie Xingyun seemed to have sensed something and looked at her rear view.
At that moment, Li Jing climbed up and gritted his teeth. “Li Changning, look, watch out and see if I tell Father when 1 go back that you have no respect for your elders. It’s better to lock you up for another few more months!”
Li Changning snorted. “Father won’t. He dotes on me the most!”
Mo Xin smelled something different. She leaned over and asked gloatingly,
“Why were you locked up for a few months?”
“None of your business!”
Mo Xin rolled her eyes and ignored her.
“It’s all because she framed Sister from the Bai Family.” Li Jing lost face and said angrily, “As expected, women are the most vicious.”
Li Changning felt that this was the most embarrassing thing she had ever done in her life. Her expression immediately changed. “She framed me!”
Li Jing infuriated her and he felt much better. He did not want to waste his breath further on her.
Seeing that his brothers did not seem to believe her, Li Changning bit her lip and glanced at the spot where Bai Xianyu had left. She changed the topic and sneered, “My mother said that this time, it is likely that someone may be selected for a marriage alliance. Look at her. She only knows how to revolve around Mo Linyuan these few days. Is she trying her best to be an imperial concubine?”
“She’s going to look for him after not seeing him for only a while. Hehe, I’m afraid there’s no escape from the marriage!”
Initially, she had wanted to use a little trick to make Bai Xianyu and Mo Linyuan get intimate with each other. However, she did not expect Bai Xianyu to actually take a fancy to Mo Linyuan. That was even better, so that she would not have to do anything.
“Shut up.”
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
Li Changning flinched reflexively, then shut up resentfully.
Before she sat down, she looked at the man’s expression.
Xie Xingyun’s expression was unreadable, and his bent legs did not move at all. He only tightened his grip on the brocade pouch. There was a small hole in the brocade pouch, and it looked like it had been mended by someone. However, the skills were far inferior to the original person who made the brocade pouch, so it could be seen at a glance.
Why would he rather have a broken pouch than hers? Li Changning was so angry that she pinched the pouch she had made.

Bai Xianyu went to Mo Linyuan’s courtyard first. When she realized that there was no one around, she felt a little uneasy.
She had only seen Mo Linyuan during breakfast this morning. Could it be that in such a short time…
Bai Xianyu immediately called Bai Li over.
Bai Li cupped his fists. “Miss, what can I do for you?”
“Go find Mo Linyuan. You have to be quick.” Bai Xianyu’s expression was solemn. “If the situation isn’t right, make sure no one discovers you.”
If he was discovered, he would probably not be able to explain himself.
She had already told Bai Li about the dart, so Bai Li quickly understood. “Yes, Miss!”
When Bai Xianyu saw that Bai Li had gone in that direction, she went in another direction.
Coupled with the time he took to change his clothes and wash up, he should not have gone far. He might just be wandering around.
Bai Xianyu ran towards the surrounding forest mountain. She did not even notice that her white embroidered shoes were dirty.
Fortunately, she was on a path and saw the fresh footprints. There were also a few fresh leaves on them.
She quickened her pace.
When everyone laughed again, Xie Xingyun’s fingers paused slightly. He slowly got up and walked quickly in the direction Bai Xianyu had left.
It had been a few days. She should not be so angry anymore.
He really wanted to talk to her..
