Du Xiaoli stared fixedly at Han Mingyi, who enveloped her. Seeing the murderous intent in the latter’s eyes, she shuddered inwardly and asked: “What’s the matter, Xiao Yi-gege


?”


“Who was it?” Han Mingyi asked.


“What? What do you mean who?” Du Xiaoli was stunned by Han Mingyi’s reply. What was with this murderous aura rising from his body?


Seeing the flabbergasted look in Du Xiaoli’s eyes, Han Mingyi realized that she had been frightened by his actions. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath before finally giving a reply: “Who was the one that sent people to assassinate you? Did you manage to get any information from those assassins?”


So it turned out that the murderous aura radiating from his body was due to the assassination attempt on Du Xiaoli, and here she thought it was because something had happened to Han Mingze!


“I’m fine, Xiao Yi-gege,” Du Xiaoli said. She showed an assuring smile to Han Mingyi before replying: “Haven’t I returned without a scratch?”


Seeing Du Xiaoli’s nonchalant attitude, Han Mingyi suddenly lunged forward for a deep kiss. Embracing her tightly, he bit wildly at her lips and twisted his tongue about, prying her teeth apart to entangle with her small tongue. He wanted to taste her beauty and use these real, physical feelings to quell the unease in his heart.


Du Xiaoli was stunned by Han Mingyi’s actions. It caused her to freeze up, allowing him to continue with his demands. Nevertheless, after sensing the terror and worry in his heart, she extended her arms and wrapped them around his waist, before taking the initiative to return his kiss.


This was her first time kissing him back. This beautiful and wonderful feeling washed through his mind, slowly calming his frantically beating heart.


Feeling an impulsive urge gush into his head, Han Mingyi quickly pulled away from Du Xiaoli’s lips. Gazing at her petite upturned face, he extended his hand to caress her delicate cheek.


Leaning into his hand, Du Xiaoli continued to embrace his waist while asking: “Xiao Yi-gege, just then, you…”


“Did I scare you?” Han Mingyi asked softly.


Du Xiaoli nodded. Due to the heavy murderous aura radiating from him, she initially assumed that Han Mingyi had succumbed to demonic temptation. Had she not recognized him, she would have already attacked him.


“I left for a city in the northern region this morning, and upon returning, I discovered corpses lying on top of a slope of yellow earth. I sent Leng Er and the others to check it out, and the results scared the hell out of me,” Han Mingyi murmured as he hugged Du Xiaoli tightly in his arms. “The information I received didn’t indicate it was you; it only mentioned a few girls and a guy encountering assassins there. But I immediately guessed that it was referring to you and Beiling Yicheng. After seeing the entire hillside littered with corpses, I was afraid that something might have really happened to you. If something did happen to you, I would definitely regret it for the rest of my life.”


In this sort of situation, hearing an enchanting man speak such moving words under the hazy cover of night should clearly have made Du Xiaoli feel exceedingly touched. It would then allow her to take the opportunity to express her deepest feelings for him. So why did seeing Han Mingyi’s expression only stir up laughter within her?


Han Mingyi’s expression turned dark upon seeing Du Xiaoli try to hold back her laughter. This was not the time for laughter, all right?!


“Ahem. Erm, let’s head back to our residence first, Xiaoyi-gege. Let me tell you about today’s events.” Du Xiaoli pulled her hands back from Han Mingyi’s waist before pointing towards the imperial bodyguards patrolling in the distance.


Han Mingyi gave Du Xiaoli’s head a knock, grabbed her hand, and led her out of the rock garden.


As coming out, Du Xiaoli spotted Leng Yi and Leng Er standing a short distance away. Seeing her look over at them, Leng Yi exchanged greetings with Du Xiaoli by waving.


At that point, Du Xiaoli broke out in a continuous wave of cold sweat. Could it be that her earlier words had been heard by Leng Yi and Leng Er?!


When they arrived back at the guest house, Du Yunhan had also come over. Earlier that afternoon, he had been summoned to the palace by the Emperor, resulting in him being busy all the way till night time. After hearing that Du Xiaoli had returned, he immediately came here without even returning to the prime minister’s residence.


“Why have you come here, Father?” Du Xiaoli asked in astonishment as she did not expect Du Yunhan to also be present.


“I heard that you’ve returned, so I came over. So, did your trip go smoothly?” Du Yunhan asked with concern.


“Erm, somewhat smoothly, I guess,” Du Xiaoli replied.


Han Mingyi took a seat and looked at Du Xiaoli before asking, “Somewhat smoothly?”


This was the first time that Du Xiaoli received this sort of stare from Han Mingyi, putting her under a lot of pressure. She immediately understood how other people had felt when they faced him.


Upon hearing that, Du Yunhan knew that something wasn’t quite right. It prompted him to ask: “Did something happen?”


“Ahem. Nothing happened. It’s just that I encountered two assassination attempts on the way, that’s all,” Du Xiaoli replied.


“Two attempts?” It was difficult for Han Mingyi to rein in the baleful aura that was threatening to burst from his body. “You didn’t mention anything about that just now.”


“You didn’t ask me, okay,” Du Xiaoli replied defensively.


“Why would you encounter assassins?” Du Yunhan became anxious. “Did you get hurt?”


Du Xiaoli proceeded to give a breakdown of the assassination attempts she encountered yesterday and today. Under the cold and gloomy aura that was radiating from Han Mingyi, she had no choice but to go into every single detail.


After hearing Du Xiaoli’s story, the pressure radiating from Han Mingyi’s body grew even heavier. At this moment, even Leng Yi and Leng Er standing behind him were wearing grim expressions on their faces, looking as though they were about to murder some people.


“Although the weather’s cooler now, you still shouldn’t keep releasing all these cold auras, okay?” Unable to keep it in, Du Xiaoli protested: “Aren’t I just fine? So please, all of you, stop looking like you want to murder people! Shouldn’t you at least find out who it is that’s trying to kill me before continuing with your current behavior?”


“You’re still in the mood to joke around!” Du Yunhan glared at Du Xiaoli. “Not many people knew about your heading out, yet in such a short time, you already encountered two assassination attempts. Where did the information about your movements leak out from?”
