Finished! After rebirth, the prince secretly held my hand

Ji Xiaoxiao turned her head away, her eyes redder, "I'm not playing the victim, I just fell accidentally."

"It's not like I need your help."

Ji Xiaoxiao muttered softly.

Gu Chusheng had a keen sense of hearing, and he heard every word of this. His sinister eyes softened immediately.

He placed his fingertips on both sides of his knees, gently checking to see if any bones were injured.

Ji Xiaoxiao hissed and dodged reflexively.

Gu Chusheng said, "Does it hurt?"

Ji Xiaoxiao said, "It doesn't hurt."

"Tough talk."

Ji Xiaoxiao looked up and happened to see a dark shadow at the entrance of the back garden, looking around furtively, as if looking for something.

He turned around on the spot and his eyes fell on the pavilion in the pond, which happened to meet Ji Xiaoxiao's gaze.

The red pillars of the pavilion were wide, blocking the view of Gu Chusheng who was squatting in front of her, so the man did not see her.

Even though they were far apart, she could recognize who the black shadow was with just a glance. He was the family's housekeeper and the person who tipped off Wu Moyan in his previous life.

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled slyly.

Don't you like reporting news? Just let him report enough.

"Shengsheng, can you help me pick that purple rose?"

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled at him desperately.

With a sweet smile, a lightly made-up face and a few delicate tears at the corners of her eyes, she looks like a happy version of Lin Daiyu.

Gu Chusheng's brows were slightly wrinkled, and a flash of astonishment flashed across his obsidian eyes.

"What did you call me?" he asked in a deep voice.

"I want that flower, can I?"

Ji Xiaoxiao did not answer his question directly, but asked again.

Gu Chusheng stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and cast a sharp look on her.

for a long time.

She sighed, turned and took another path to pick the roses she wanted.

When has anyone ever ordered the prince around like this!

Just as Gu Chusheng turned in, Butler Wang came over with a smile.

"Miss, what are you doing here alone on your birthday?"

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Ji Xiaoxiao adjusted the hem of her skirt and let the pink gauze skirt cover her two straight and slender legs.

Butler Wang glanced around and confirmed that no one was around, then smiled and said,

"Master Wu asked me to look for you. He couldn't find you at the party and was worried about your safety."

Ji Xiaoxiao resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "How can I be safe in my own home?"

Butler Wang said, "I was going to announce your marriage to Master Wu today, but he said he saw you in a bad mood when he came in, so he asked me to ask you if you are still angry about him secretly meeting He Tingting the day before yesterday?"

He Tingting was their high school classmate, and she had been giving her advice on how to pursue Wu Moyan.

In the end, the two of them were already together.

Ji Xiaoxiao waved her hands, put on an innocent expression, and continued to pretend to be a fool with lots of money and a sweet heart.

"I was indeed angry just now, but I just thought about it. Mo Yan explained to me a long time ago that I was too petty."

Seeing that Butler Wang had relaxed his reservations, Ji Xiaoxiao continued,

"The banquet is about to end, and there's no time to announce our marriage. I begged my parents for this opportunity after a long time. What should I do?"

Ji Xiaoxiao's coquettish tone did not reveal a single flaw.

Gu Chusheng, who had just returned from picking roses, heard these words. He paused and a strange curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

As expected, she still couldn't forget Wu Moyan.

Seeing that Ji Xiaoxiao was so easy to deceive, Butler Wang immediately came up with an idea.

"Young lady and Master Wu love each other, so whether they get married or not is not that important. Why not make it a done deal? Then the marriage will be done even if it doesn't happen."

Ji Xiaoxiao snorted softly.

It's a pity that he could think of this. If his parents knew about this, it would be a small matter. But if his eldest brother knew about it, he would definitely return home overnight and break her legs.

Ji Xiaoxiao frowned and pretended to be thinking deeply. After a moment, her brows relaxed.

"That's a good idea. Go buy some aphrodisiacs and help me make an appointment with Mo Yan. Book the best hotel and don't use my name."

Butler Wang agreed with a smile, then turned and left.

Not long after Butler Wang left, a shadow loomed over her head.

The temperature around Gu Chusheng dropped by several degrees. Ji Xiaoxiao looked up at his eyes and couldn't help but shudder. His gloomy face became particularly oppressive and frightening in the dark night.

He threw the purple rose in his hand to the other side of her swing and turned away without looking back.

After making sure that he had heard something, Ji Xiaoxiao took off her high heels that were in the way and chased after him. This time she caught up with him and held his hand.

"Did you hear everything?"

Gu Chusheng shook her hand off, took out a gray handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his hands, and threw it at her in disgust.

"Don't follow me."

Ji Xiaoxiao's heart felt like it had hit rock bottom. She ran up to him anxiously, hugged his waist, and pressed against his back.

"Can I listen to Xiaoxiao's explanation?"

Gu Chusheng felt a sense of restlessness creeping up on him. He forcibly pulled away her hand that was around her waist, putting some distance between them.

"Not interested in."

Looking at his resolute back, Ji Xiaoxiao felt a rusty smell coming out of her throat, and she stood there in a daze, unable to breathe.

Gu Chusheng is extremely jealous, and emotionally like a proud young lady, always saying one thing and thinking another.

This is the time to explain.

Ji Xiaoxiao walked barefoot on the gravel road, holding up her heavy skirt, and ran in front of him.

"Butler Wang is not a good person. He was bribed by Wu Moyan a long time ago. I said that all those things were lies to him."

"Does it have something to do with me?"

The hoarse and low voice scraped through Ji Xiaoxiao's heart like a knife. Covered with wounds, she couldn't suppress the tears welling up in her eyes.

Gu Chusheng lowered his eyes and looked at her. The corners of the girl's eyes were bloodshot. She had already cried once, and her eyes were swollen from crying again. Her pink evening dress was covered in dust.

Made myself look embarrassed.

Gu Chusheng's heart suddenly contracted, and the taste of rust overflowed from his deep throat. He reached out to touch her head, but he finally pulled his hand back while it was hanging in the air.

Ji Xiaoxiao exhaled, calmed down and said, "I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds today."

She pursed her lips and walked back, dragging her skirt.

It’s obvious that I loved her so much in my previous life, I held her in my hands, pampered her, and protected her.

Now he said to her coldly, "What does it have to do with me?"

Ji Xiaoxiao didn't feel wronged as her white and tender feet stepped on the sharp pebbles. She lifted her skirt and looked up at the moon above her head.

He doesn't love her in this life, or he hasn't fallen in love with her yet.

Gu Chusheng stood there in a daze. He glanced at the gray silk handkerchief lying on the ground and regretted what he had done for the first time.

He looked back and saw the girl's stumbling figure. He didn't hear the sound of her high heels hitting the ground, so he guessed that she was barefoot.

My chest hurts a little more.

When Ji Xiaoxiao returned to the yard carrying her high heels, all the guests in the house had left and there was no sign of Gu Chusheng.

"Xiaoxiao, where have you been? You weren't there when I asked you to cut the cake."

Ji Xiaoxiao passed by the two elders and saw that only cream was left on the white cake on the cart.

Suddenly I noticed a palm-sized pig cake under the cart, and next to it was a freshly picked purple rose.
