The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!
Chapter 1441: 1436: Brother Yu, you're not deceiving me?Chapter 1441: Chapter 1436: Brother Yu, you’re not deceiving me?
The man’s steady and powerful arms supported her, gently wrapping around her slender waist, his voice carrying a hint of severity, “Don’t be afraid, try again.”
“Brother Yu…” her eyes reddened with fear, her small mouth pursed, tears stuck to her eyelashes, on the brink of falling, a sight that anyone would find unbearable.
Yet Xiao Yu still demanded strictly that she continue to swim and even practice holding her breath. Her face turned red as she struggled, sobbing in distress.
Xiao Yu, holding her, exhausted, cooed softly, “Yan’er, don’t be mad at me. The Xiao family has many large lakes, and I won’t be home every day to be with you. If you fall into the lake again and I can’t save you in time, I’ll lose you forever, so you must learn.”
“But I’m really scared.”
The suffocating feeling of water covering her nose made her want to cry.
Xiao Yu had her lie on the edge of the pool and kissed her neck and back, deeply and lightly, his voice emotional, hoarse, and heavy, “Just this once, just learn this, and you’ll never have to learn again?”
“Really? Brother Yu, you’re not lying to me?”
“I’m not lying to you.”
No sooner had Xiao Yu finished speaking than Su Miaoyan felt her body being lifted.
The charming cry pervaded the entire pool of water.
The scene was so passionately embarrassing that even thinking about it in her mind made Su Miaoyan shyly cover her cheeks.
She shook her head hurriedly, “No! It’s not like that!”
She wouldn’t learn to swim or hold her breath with that big bad man, she wouldn’t get along with him at all!
He was so bad!
But why did these thoughts suddenly appear in her mind?
Su Miaoyan was extremely puzzled, but as she tried to think of something else, a severe headache took her consciousness, and she fell to the ground, rolling in agony, “It hurts! It hurts! Help…”
Her faint whimpers received no response in the cave.
Su Miaoyan didn’t know how long she had been in pain. When a faint light appeared in front of her, she instinctively reached out to grasp it, whispering softly, “Yu…”
Brother Yu.
Xiao Yu returned from the palace with injured knees, yet still kept vigil by Su Miaoyan’s bedside.
Xiao Qingyu and all the servants of Qilin Garden knelt in the yard. None could rise until Su Miaoyan woke up.
Mu Qianya was also there, pounding on her legs. She had been kneeling for a long time and felt sore all over. But Xiao Yu’s anger made her feel even more terrified.
It was her idea to have Miaoyan hide. Now she too was being forced to kneel. If anything happened to Su Miaoyan, Xiao Yu would probably be the first to tear her to pieces!
Feng Ling knelt behind her, already crying uncontrollably, “Miss, I’m afraid we won’t get out of this mess with the Xiao family intact, wuu wuu…”
“Shut up. Haven’t we faced life and death situations before?” Mu Qianya slapped Feng Ling’s head hard.
The young girl had seen a lot of the world with her, but she couldn’t change her tearful habits.
“It’s just that I’m sad. We’ve gotten through so many tough times before, and now to die at the hands of Xiao Yu…”
It truly was frustrating!
Mu Qianya replied coolly, her lips curling slightly, “What is there to be frustrated about? I chose my own path, and negotiating with a tiger is a matter of life and death.”
She was aware of the risks the moment she chose to work with Xiao Yu.
She could give up her own reputation; why would she fear this moment?
And yet, kneeling before her was a figure that gave her a sense of peace.
The entire courtyard was neatly lined with kneeling figures, but it was the silhouette of Zuiying, kneeling with such upright elegance, like an evergreen pine, that instilled a sense of security in her.
Even if Xiao Yu were to explode in rage, even if he threatened to kill, Mu Qianya was no longer afraid.
What pained her heart more was the young Miss Su Miaoyan.
She was suffering again.
“Bang!”
“Whoosh—”
The sound of smashing crockery, mixed with arguing and crying, came from within the house, a tremendous racket.
The people kneeling outside were all tense.
Feng Ling began to pray with clenched fists, “Deities above, my Miss has survived so many life-threatening dangers. Even if she can’t inherit the family business, please bless her and don’t let her die here!”
“Big Ox brother, woo woo woo… Where is Big Ox brother?”
Su Miaoyan’s helpless crying echoed through the room. Xiao Yu smashed open the window and roared outside, “Mu Qianya, get in here!”
Mu Qianya quickly tried to stand, supporting herself on the ground, but her legs went numb, and she toppled forward.
She fell against the strong back of a man, feeling the muscles in his back exuding a powerful aura, causing Mu Qianya to blush subconsciously.
She lowered her gaze and noticed her softness brushing against the man’s back.
But he remained motionless, as if feeling nothing, only saying coldly, “The master has called you in.”
It was both a prompt and a warning.
Mu Qianya hastily put aside her flustered thoughts, lifted her skirts, and cautiously made her way into the room.
Xiao Yu’s cold, somber expression was as terrifying as Hades, instilling fear in anyone who saw it.
Opposite him, Su Miaoyan was grasping the bed rail, sobbing loudly, “Sister Mu, you said that if I behaved, I could see Big Ox brother, right? Woo woo woo! But it’s still this nasty man, I haven’t seen Big Ox brother, where is he?”
Before Mu Qianya could step forward to comfort her, the cold glint in Xiao Yu’s eyes pierced her like a dagger.
Mu Qianya mustered her courage, “Don’t look at me like that. If I hadn’t told Miaoyan that, she would have been taken away today.”
The more the people of Qilin Garden hid her, the more likely she was to be discovered.
Not only Su Yingxue and Madam Yin were the women involved, but there was also the intuitive and astute Defender General Su Hao from the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor, who had seen all kinds of cunning enemies on the battlefield; how could he fail to see through the servants in this garden?
Having Miaoyan hide herself was solely based on her own wits.
Luckily, she was clever enough to jump into the lake and hide.
Otherwise, how could Xiao Yu still be in Qilin Garden to see her?
“Sister Mu, are you also a bad person like him, deceiving me? I’ll never see Big Ox brother again…”
Su Miaoyan realized, heartbroken, that even the person she trusted most had lied to her!
“Not at all! I’ll make sure you see Big Ox brother. Just behave, Miaoyan. Prepare what you want to say to Big Ox brother, and I will also help you find him, alright? Hide behind the bed to prepare, and give Big Ox brother a surprise,” suggested Mu Qianya, her eyes brimming with encouragement that inexplicably made one want to draw closer and trust her. Su Miaoyan wiped away her tears and nodded vigorously, “Okay! I… I’ll get ready!”
After pacifying her, Mu Qianya turned to face Xiao Yu, “I need to prepare some things for Miaoyan. It’s best… if you’re not here right now.”
“Mu Qianya, who are you mentioning to her?” Xiao Yu demanded, an icy glare that was terrifying, his eyes full of a sinister chill that seemed as if they could claim a life just as easily.
