Chapter 250 - 250: Make it Up to Me a Little (2)
Fortunately, she met Bai Jingyuan, who was passing by, so she was not dragged away by them.
After that, she was so afraid that she followed his carriage to the inn.
Coincidentally, the lady boss of this inn had once received benefits from her father, so she took pity on her and took her in. She was also the one who told her that Bai Jingyuan was a high-ranking official from the capital.
“Sigh, it’s all those bastards’ fault. They think a girl like you is easy to bully.” The lady boss frowned and said, “How was the case against Old Qin decided?” “Execution after autumn,” Qin Zhirou said with a trembling voice.
After a moment of silence, the lady boss said hesitantly, “Actually, there’s another way to please a man.”
Qin Zhirou was slightly stunned.
“Sigh, just take it that I’m talking nonsense.” The lady boss scratched her head. What had she said? She was still a teenage girl.
However, the girl’s eyes flickered.
She walked over to the lady boss and whispered something into her ear.
The lady boss’s expression changed. “Zhirou, are you sure?”
“… Yeah.”
She had nothing left. If there was a chance of survival like this, it was worth it.
Qin Zhirou could not help but feel sad.
As the night deepened, the shop assistant carried a bathtub and filled it with water.
“Young Master, you can bathe now.”
Bai Jingyuan pinched the space between his eyebrows. “Yes.”
He put down the official documents in his hands and glanced at the peaches on the table. For some reason, every time he wanted to throw them away, Qin Zhirou’s tear-stained face would appear in his mind.
Bai Jingyuan reached out to pick one up and put it down.
Forget it. If she appeared again, he would find time to help her.
He walked into the bathroom and placed the clothes he had taken off aside. As soon as he entered the bathtub, someone pushed the door open and entered.
Bai Jingyuan did not pay attention. He closed his eyes and said, “Put the bath beans on the shelf.”
The person dawdled, then approached.
Bai Jingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Just as a pair of slender and fair hands were about to approach his shoulder, he pulled the person’s wrist in.
However, in the next second, his pupils constricted and he shouted angrily, “Qin Zhirou!”
The girl took off her outerwear, revealing her full and round shoulders. Her skin was fair and tender, and the blush on her face spread to her thin collarbone.
Qin Zhirou trembled and closed her eyes as if she had accepted her fate. She entered his bathtub.
Bai Jingyuan’s expression darkened.
The girl laid on top of him. Although she was so afraid that her body was trembling, she still said, “Sir, I have nothing to repay you. If you can help me save my father, I…”
Bai Jingyuan wanted to pull her up from his body, but Qin Zhirou hugged him tightly. He did not know where she got the strength from, but her delicate skin was dripping with water and was extremely smooth. He could not break free from her for a moment.
Qin Zhirou knew that this was her last chance. If she could not make him agree, she would not have another chance in the future.
Whether her father could be avenged depended on whether she could move him.
She blushed and kissed the man’s Adam’s apple tentatively, looking at his moist eyes.
Bai Jingyuan’s body stiffened.
“My Lord.”
She leaned against him, her voice soft to the bone.
“Help me…”
The man smiled coldly and slowly held her waist.
It was already night when Bai Xianyu returned.
Only then did Green Pearl have the time to sort and put away the things that Old Madam and Yu Fengyan had sent over.
She looked at a tonic and said, “Miss, how about I get someone to stew this for you tomorrow?”
Bai Xianyu swept a glance. “Yes.”
“Then this for the day after tomorrow, and this for the day after that… How about that?” Green Pearl took stock and planned a schedule.
“Do as you see fit. I’m a little sleepy.”
Green Pearl nodded. “Then I won’t disturb Miss’s rest.”
Bai Xianyu closed her eyes and nodded, but her eyes could not help but look out the window.
She had come back so late today. Xie Xingyun probably would not come.
As she thought about this, her heart ached. Bai Xianyu was already used to it. Did she have a problem with not seeing Xie Xingyun for a day?
She closed her eyes for a while and heard the sound of the window opening and closing.
Bai Xianyu was stunned, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
In the end, she saw that it was Green Pearl.
Seeing her look over, Green Pearl smiled and said, “Miss, there are many mosquitoes at night. It’s better to close the window. If you want to open the window to get some air, I’ll leave a gap for you?”
“Close it.” Bai Xianyu sighed slightly and turned over to face the inside of the bed.
The frustration in her heart intensified.
Then, there was the sound of window opening and closing.
Bai Xianyu buried herself in the blanket and whispered, “Green Pearl, lower the noise.”
No one answered. At this moment, familiar footsteps came from the room.
Bai Xianyu realized something and suddenly opened her eyes. She turned around.
In the darkness, Xie Xingyun sat in front of her bed calmly.
The girl’s eyes were as bright as stars.
Xie Xingyun rubbed the back of his hand against her fair face and teased with a faint smile, “Why? Are you waiting for me?”
Bai Xianyu felt inexplicably guilty. “No.”
“Hmm.” Xie Xingyun’s smile deepened. “But I was waiting for you.”
Bai Xianyu felt that her heart was like a pet nurtured by Xie Xingyun. The moment he arrived, it beat non-stop.
“I’ve been waiting for you for about… four hours or six hours.”
Bai Xianyu replied with an “Oh”.
Xie Xingyun lowered his body and stared into her eyes. His eyes were deep. “So, can you make it up to me a little?”
Bai Xianyu said, “I didn’t ask you to wait for me.”
“Then you don’t want this spice?” Xie Xingyun shook the thing in his hand regretfully. “Since you don’t want it, I’ll leave.”
As he spoke, he was about to leave. When he reached the door, Bai Xianyu’s voice could be heard saying leisurely. “Then I won’t give you your brocade pouch..”
