All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Chapter 425 He Won’t Let Go

The nights in the mountains are very cold.

The second half of the night is especially cold.

Xie Yunyao was woken up by the cold. When she opened her eyes, she saw a pitch-black cave.

Moreover, Xie Liu, who was supposed to be here, was nowhere to be seen.

Xie Yunyao herself was not a very courageous person, and it was only because Xie Liu was by her side that she dared to sleep in this cave.

Now she woke up and found herself alone, and she was immediately frightened.

"Thank you, sir...thank you, sir...thank you, sir...are you there?"

Xie Yunyao doesn't look like a martial artist who can see at night.

She could only rely on the faint light refracted from the snow outside the cave to identify the situation inside the cave.

When Xie Liu came back with a bundle of dry branches and a rabbit, he just heard Xie Yunyao's crying voice.

He walked forward quickly.

"Fifth Miss, I'm here, don't be afraid."

As Xie Liu's voice fell, he arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Xie Yunyao, who was stumbling towards the cave entrance, bumped into Xie Liu.

"Thank you, sir?"

"It's me, Miss Fifth, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xie Yunyao's voice was trembling.

Xie Liu felt so heartbroken after hearing this.

If I had known earlier, I should have come back earlier instead of wasting time to deal with a few assassins, leaving the Fifth Miss scared alone.

Xie Yunyao grabbed the corner of Xie Liu's clothes and felt his hand was still warm. The fear in her heart slowly dissipated.

Realizing that her current image was not very good, she quickly let go of her hand and stood up.

"I'm sorry Mr. Xie, I thought you were gone."

That's why I was a little anxious.

Xie Liu hummed.

"I won't abandon the Fifth Miss."

"Um……"

Xie Yunyao thought about her previous behavior and she felt very embarrassed now.

He let go of her hand and stepped aside.

Smelling a faint smell of blood, Xie Yunyao immediately raised her head and asked, "Blood? Is your wound broken?"

"No, I caught a rabbit, and it smells like blood."

As Xie Liu spoke, he threw the firewood on the ground. He took out a fire starter from his belt, blew it and ignited the firewood.

Put the processed rabbit on the fire and roast it.

The dark and cold cave suddenly became bright and warm because of the fire.

Xie Yunyao was originally sitting far away, but unable to resist the warm firelight, she slowly leaned forward.

Neither of them spoke for a while.

Because of what happened before, it was a bit embarrassing.

No one knew how to start.

After a while, the fragrance of the rabbit slowly spread out. Xie Yunyao, who had been hungry for a day, smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Xie Liu noticed her little movements.

The look on his face softened.

"Fifth Miss..."

"Ok?"

Xie Yunyao was fascinated by the rabbits when she suddenly heard Xie Liu calling her. She raised her head quickly and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"It's about tonight..."

"Ah? Tonight, what's going on tonight?"

Xie Yunyao started to act stupid.

The look of his eyes, which didn't look forward but kept glancing around, made people feel funny for some reason.

There was indeed a smile on Xie Liu's lips.

"When I get back, I will personally go to the Fourth Miss's house to apologize."

"Apologise? What are you apologizing for?"

Xie Yunyao was very cold, and she was also hungry and sleepy, and she hadn't rested well, so her IQ was a little off.

I failed to understand Xie Liu’s meaning at the first moment.

Xie Liu patiently explained, "It is my responsibility to let the fourth young lady fall in love with the wrong person. Naturally, I have to come and apologize."

"what……"

Xie Yunyao stared at Xie Liu in a daze. Was he going to go find his sister and explain things clearly?

"Thank you, sir..."

"Fifth Miss..." Xie Liu interrupted Xie Yunyao and said softly, "I must take responsibility for what happened tonight."

"This……"

"I will personally go to His Majesty to plead guilty and ask to marry Miss Fifth..."

No matter what Xie Yunyao thinks, they have already had physical contact, and he must take responsibility for Xie Yunyao.

Xie Yunyao curled her lips.

He lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

The rabbit was roasted in no time.

Xie Liu used a knife to cut it into small pieces so that Xie Yunyao could eat it more easily.

Xie Yunyao ate a few pieces and then stopped eating.

Xie Liu spoke first, "The taste of the baked ones might not be good, Miss Fifth, please use more."

He had looked at the terrain here and knew that it would be very difficult to climb up from the bottom by his own strength.

And it will take some time to wait for the people above to come down and find them.

The continuous heavy snowfall will affect the rescue effect.

Before they escape, they must eat more and conserve their energy.

Xie Yunyao shook her head. "I'm full."

"Miss Fifth..."

“I’m really full.”

Xie Yunyao was a little thirsty, so she didn't want to eat more.

Xie Liu looked at Xie Yunyao, then suddenly stood up and walked out.

Xie Yunyao was stunned.

"Where are you going, my Lord?"

She also stood up, and there was even some anxiety and worry in her tone, as if she was afraid that Xie Liu would be angry and leave.

She was obviously a noble lady, but she was not arrogant at all. She always thought of others and never thought about herself...

Xie Liu, with his back to her, stopped and looked back at Xie Yunyao, who had some fear in her eyes. He sighed helplessly.

The man suddenly walked in front of Xie Yunyao.

"Fifth Miss..."

"Hmm? Wh-what?"

When Xie Liu was leaving, she would worry whether she had made him unhappy.

But if he suddenly approaches her, she will become nervous again.

I was so nervous that I could hardly speak clearly.

My heart was pounding.

Xie Liu reached out and held her hand.

"You have to listen to me sometimes, Miss Fifth."

"Wha...what?"

"I told you I won't leave you."

Maybe it was because they were the only two of them here, or maybe they were trapped together in a cave under the cliff, or maybe it was because this quiet snowy night gave people infinite courage?

In short, after Xie Liu finished speaking, he did something very bold.

He reached out and embraced Xie Yunyao in his arms. "I like the Fifth Miss. I have admired her for a long time."

"I often wonder how I can legitimately stay with Miss Fifth for a little longer, a little longer."

"How could I, a person like me, abandon Miss Fifth and leave alone?"

The man's deep voice sounded above her head, and every word in his words rushed into Xie Yunyao's ears.

Not only did it echo in her mind, but it also made her heart pound and beat continuously.

"Thank you, sir..."

Xie Yunyao, who was facing such a situation for the first time, actually forgot to push away the unruly man in front of her.

Inside the cave, the two of them hugged each other, and suddenly there came a picture of a peaceful and tranquil life.

If it weren't for the sudden sound of a branch breaking outside the cave, which caught Xie Liu's attention and made him pull the person behind him, they would probably still be immersed in that hug.

"Is it an assassin?"

Xie Yunyao also heard the sound.

she asked nervously.
