C15 Survival from Death

It had been two days since Mo Yan returned. Chen Xiaowu stood in the room, feeling uneasy.

Red Jade brought him a bowl of porridge. He fed it to Chen Xiaowu. Seeing his frown, he quickly turned his injured face to the side.

Seeing that Red Jade was still brooding over the disfigured matter, Chen Xiaowu hurriedly explained to her.

"Red Jade, I will never despise you for being ugly. It's just that Mo Yan went to deal with this matter and hasn't returned for two days. Don't tell me something has happened..."

Red Jade's heart was filled with sorrow, but she also knew that her identity was not worthy of Chen Xiaowu. She could only suppress her emotions and comfort him in a soft voice.

"Young Master Li, don't worry. I've heard about Lord Mo. He has been practicing martial arts since he was young, and his martial arts are strong. Normal people can't touch him."

Chen Xiaowu heard this, but his brows were still tightly furrowed, and his expression was downcast.

He knew Xiao Yan very well. He didn't know how many times Young Master Li had done this in his previous life. They had all been tricked by Xiao Yan.

"Right now, everyone is clearly aware of Xiao Yan's character. It is likely that Lord Mo will be schemed against by Xiao Yan because of my recklessness. If that is really the case, I will not be able to absolve myself from the blame."

The moment Xiao Yan was mentioned, Red Jade gnashed her teeth in hatred. If it was not for Xiao Yan coaxing her back then, she would not have ended up in such a state.

"Young master, Red Jade had also misread that bastard's lie. Now that I think about it, I'm really sorry for you and the Lee family."

Chen Xiaowu shook his head. "Red Jade, no matter what you do, I will not hate you."

Chen Xiaowu had been trying his best to control himself and try to get closer to Red Jade. At this moment, he suddenly had some selfish thoughts.

He wanted Red Jade to understand that the person who loved her had always been Chen Xiaowu, not Lee Yuhan.

Chen Xiaowu hesitated for a moment, but still said to Red Jade: "Red Jade, between you and me, there is no need to call me master and servant. Just call me Xiao Yu."

"Xiao Yu" and Xiaowu had an accent.

Red Jade did not dare, but after Chen Xiaowu corrected it many times, she finally said, "Xiao Yu?"

Chen Xiaowu nodded in satisfaction. His brows relaxed a little, but he still felt uneasy.

"Red Jade, I have a feeling something is wrong. This matter might involve you. Hurry up and clean up. Let's go back to Lee's Mansion."

Red Jade quickly pulled Chen Xiaowu's sleeve. She was puzzled by Chen Xiaowu's hasty departure.

"But, Young... Little Yu, why are we returning to Lee's Mansion? You are still injured, so you can't go anywhere. Why don't you stay and recuperate?"

Chen Xiaowu smiled and picked up the bag that the red jade had packed up.

"Don't worry. My body is tough. I can't stay in the inn now. If anything happens to Lord Mo, this is definitely not a safe place."

After thinking for a while, Chen Xiaowu whispered to Red Jade.

"When you return to Lee's Mansion, quickly hide in the dark room at the corner of the garden. Before I return, you must not come out."

Red Jade did not understand and was still hesitating. "But..."

Chen Xiaowu held Red Jade's hand and looked at her firmly, "There is no time to lose, let's leave this place."

"Okay."

As soon as the two of them left the inn, the assassins poured oil on their feet. After a while, a raging fire burned through the entire inn.

This scene shocked Red Jade, who was hiding not far away, and she finally understood. Why did Chen Xiaowu urge them to leave the inn just now?

Looks like it was really as Chen Xiaowu had said, something had really happened to Lord Mo...

Chen Xiaowu covered his face and held the red jade's hand as he quietly ran towards Lee's Mansion. "Let's go. With the Emperor here, they do not dare to touch Lee's Mansion for the time being."

"Little Yu, for some reason, I feel like you are a different person."

Red Jade followed behind Chen Xiaowu. At this moment, her face was full of admiration and tenderness. "The current you has become so reliable and responsible, like a man."

Chen Xiaowu was speechless.

If it weren't for the system and the assassins, Chen Xiaowu really wanted to stop and confess to Red Jade.

He was Chen Xiaowu, the man who gave her jewelry and remembered her smile.

However, Chen Xiaowu didn't dare to. He didn't know if Red Jade still remembered the existence of "Chen Xiaowu.
