Chapter Eighteen: The Midnight Assassin Arrives

  Heaven as witness, I just wanted to slap myself: isn't this looking for death?

  Ke Yingmo seemed to have not heard me, suddenly he smiled slyly and slowly leaned in close to my ear, whispering a sentence: "I suppose the lady is tired, let your husband take you back to the room."

  These words of unparalleled sweetness accompanied by a warm breath sprayed on her neck...

  It really gave me goosebumps: Oh my god, it seems he's really gone crazy!

  During the awkward silence, he suddenly bent down and scooped me up in his arms. My feet's sudden leave of the ground made me struggle, but I soon calmed down. It wasn't because of Mo Yu's dark gaze that only I could see, but because behind him, I saw several other pairs of eyes.

  Poor thing, you have to act at this time too. Alright alright, I'll accompany you this once.

  She then reached back and hooked her arm around his neck, resting her head on his chest, speaking softly: "Then I'll have to trouble you, sir!"

  I felt his body stiffen noticeably. But he said nothing, silently embracing me into the mansion. To outsiders, we seemed like a loving couple.

  We were silent all the way back to our room.

  I buried myself in his chest, smelling the faint and indescribable scent on him, and suddenly felt a little drunk. How long has it been since I've had this feeling?

  Finally arrived.

  But he heard his tone cold: "Get down."

  I sniffled and jumped out of his arms, landing on tiptoes.

  I turned around and smiled at him: "Thank you, sir."

  You was also dazed by this bright smile, but it was hidden in an instant: "Since you're here, madam, you should rest well. I have something on my mind, so I won't accompany you."

  I gazed at his receding back and suddenly let out a sigh. I turned around and sat down.

  The worries between eyebrows dispersed but couldn't be gone, yet slowly lowered eyelids.

  I'm really getting a bit tired.

  ……

  At night, I was awakened by the hurried footsteps coming from outside the house one after another.

  As expected, they were well-trained and no one shouted even in the face of an emergency. I got out of bed, stretched and was about to get down when suddenly a figure flashed past the window. He rushed to my side and in an instant, the cold blade was pressed against me. The man spoke in a low voice, "Don't move."

  I was shocked and finally knew what that hidden line should be——

  Assassins!
