Chapter 952: Chapter 952: A Match Made in Heaven, Kidnapped (1)

The atmosphere inside the room fell silent for a moment, and just when Mo Yan thought the man before her might mind, she was suddenly embraced by a pair of tender, large hands. The next moment, she found herself nestling in a broad chest as a man’s voice, full of contented sighs, came from above her head, "I’m glad you can protect yourself."

Mo Yan couldn’t believe it and lifted her head, staring at Xiao Ruiyuan’s smiling face, at a loss for words.

Xiao Ruiyuan only felt that the woman’s dazed look precisely poked a soft spot in his heart; he couldn’t help but reach out and gently stroke the back of her head, whispering, "You used to be too kind, so kind that you wouldn’t even retaliate against those who hurt you. I was always worried that you would get hurt. Now that I see you like this, I am relieved."

Mo Yan looked at the man, unable to utter a single word.

Having lived two lives, it was the first time she had calculated against another woman, even if that woman had schemed against her first. Doing such a thing for the first time always stirred up a mess of thoughts inside her, making her feel like she had become bad, malicious, no different from those who calculated against her, and she even worried that one day, she would become the very person she once despised.

However, the man’s words finally made her realize, she had not become bad or malicious; she was merely protecting herself. Only by safeguarding herself could the people who truly cared about her rest assured.

As he watched the woman gradually let go of her concerns, Xiao Ruiyuan continued, "I dove into battle at the age of thirteen, where on the battlefield swords and spears have no eyes. It’s either your death or mine. Over the years, countless enemies have fallen by my sword. If this is considered malicious, then I’ve been poisoned to the core. A poisonous husband and a poisonous wife — aren’t we a match made in heaven?"

Speaking of a match made in heaven, Xiao Ruiyuan’s face beamed with conviction, seeing the woman in his arms finally smiled, he couldn’t help but lower his head to imprint a light kiss on her forehead.

At this time, everything at Zhao Mansion was submerged in slumber, and under the slight breeze, lanterns swayed along the corridor; shadows of trees stretched on the ground, giving off an air of desolation for no reason.

Fan Meijiao paced anxiously in her room. Seeing no movement outside, she harshly glared at the trembling maid and scolded, "Why is there still no news? If you botch this, I will hold only you responsible!"

"Mi-Miss, it won’t, it won’t happen, this time it will definitely succeed!" The maid stuttered with a shaking body, half worrying the plan might fail and she would be blamed by her mistress, and half worrying that if the plan succeeded and things got exposed, the true instigator would be caught and she would be made the scapegoat and killed.

Whether it was the maid’s consolation that had an effect, or because Fan Meijiao was certain the plan would succeed, she finally calmed down. She sat on the bed, her eyes darting around as she clearly plotted something else.

The maid huddled in the corner, not daring to make a noise, only praying in her heart that the young miss wouldn’t conjure up any more twisted ideas; one such wicked deed was enough to leave her terrified.

Another half an hour passed, and with the Zi Hour already gone, Fan Meijiao could no longer wait. She instructed the maid, "Tomorrow morning, I’ll be going with my grandmother to the temple to fulfill a vow. I won’t return for three days. You are not to follow me this time. If the plan succeeds tonight, we’ll just wait for that little wench to fall on hard times. If anything changes, come to the temple immediately and find me. Understand?"

The maid’s face changed slightly, suppressing the panic within her, she forced a smile, "Miss, I’ve served you since I was a child, and you’re used to having me around. You’ll be away for three days without me by your side, you might feel uncomfortable. Why don’t I accompany you, and we’ll find someone else to keep an eye on the Mo Family?"

"How dare you, you insolent wench, defy your mistress?" Fan Meijiao glared fiercely at the maid who had served her for over a decade, and furiously scolded, "If I tell you to stay, you stay. Where’s all this nonsense coming from? If you dare speak another word, I’ll have your entire family sold to the mines tomorrow."
