Lin Xi held the dagger in one hand and propped it up next to the man's head, and the familiar outline of the man was reflected in his eyes by the moonlight.

Lin Xi's chest heaved up and down, looking at Shang Jueheng's eyes full of tenderness, he felt complicated.

After pulling out the dagger and inserting it into the scabbard, he got up and got out of bed to light the two candles in the inner room.

Then he sat on the chair next to him with his back to the man, without saying a word.

Shang Jueheng, who was lying on the bed, originally thought that he would come back from a long distance so that he could embrace a gentle beauty, or enjoy the treatment of throwing his baby into his arms.But the owner of the Shang Castle who saw all this did not conform to his fantasy was suddenly stunned...

Even if it didn't fit the fantasy, he still hurriedly got up and walked to Lin Xi's side and hugged her into his lap.This hug made Shang Jueheng very distressed. Lin Xi was already thin and weak. After recovering from the poisoning, he should take three meals of medicine and supplements a day in turn.

But he has been away for a month, and the inside of Merchant Fort has been disturbed because of his good fourth uncle.

He could imagine how Lin Xi had worked so hard to solve all this this month, no wonder she lost a lot of weight compared to before.

Lin Xi let him circle her waist, she just lowered her eyes silently.

Shang Jueheng gently turned his face towards him, only then did he see that Lin Xi's eyes had turned red, even so, he could still clearly see that pale complexion and the faint bruises in his eyes.

Shang Jueheng didn't know what adjectives to use to describe his mood at this moment, maybe shock was more than any other emotion.In his impression, Lin Xi hardly showed any emotion about being weak.

Whether it's Linzhou's disappointment or the coldness and dominance he forcibly brought to Merchant Fort, there has never been any moment that is so lovable as it is now.

Only now did he deeply feel the extent of his influence on Lin Xi, and his care was far beyond Shang Jueheng's imagination.

Holding the person in his arms tightly, Shang Jueheng coaxed softly, "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to scare you on purpose. I wanted to come back to you tomorrow, but when I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I couldn't control it. Seeing you*, I really can't bear the days when I can't see you."

Lin Xi shook her head silently, bit her lip but did not speak.He wasn't angry that he appeared suddenly, he was obviously not an emotional person but his eyes were red the moment he saw Shang Jueheng, this was an emotion that he would never have in the past.

Intense excitement, lost and found, and complex emotions mixed with longing rushed to his heart in an instant, and he could hardly hold back his tears at that moment.This kind of self is really terribly strange, so I want to sit next to me and be alone.

Shang Jueheng held his back in distress and pressed towards himself, leaned up and bit his lips, licked them wet little by little, and then pried his lips and teeth open.

Tongues rubbed together, and the crystal liquid that was too late to swallow slowly slid down the corners of the lips, and sank into the invisible collarbone along the neck.

He looked up at Lin Xi's cheeks gradually turning pink, squinting his eyes slightly, enjoying it like a cat, and felt that his heart was gently scratched again, bringing countless loveliness.

His hand caressed the graceful lines of his back and gradually stretched down from the hem of the clothes, but a white and slender hand on his arm firmly stopped his movement.Shang Jueheng opened his eyes in doubt, only to see Lin Xi looking at him seriously with eyes full of water.

Is there anything we can wait until we're done?Shang Jueheng accused the other party of his ruthlessness with aggrieved eyes.

But Lin Xi shook his head very resolutely. He pressed Shang Jueheng's arm with one hand and put his hand on the other's chest, panting and said in a slightly soft voice, "If I don't explain this clearly, tonight Just don't even try to get into my bed."

"Xi'er..."

Shang Jueheng tried to soften Lin Xi's attitude with a soft and pitiful tone, but in the end he could only receive a blank stare from the other party.The soft and moist eyes made him almost unable to hold himself back, but his darling was so cruel.

Lin Xi is not much better now, just imagine that there is always something straight on the thigh, how comfortable can it be?Besides...he, he didn't want to...

It's just that the principle cannot be changed, "Fourth Master Shang said that you fell off the cliff and died unknown, what exactly is going on?"

Seeing Lin Xi's serious appearance, Shang Jueheng couldn't help but leaned forward and bit his lip again, and then changed the other party's slightly annoyed expression before explaining helplessly, "It's not easy to deal with the matter at Cangzhou Tangkou. It's complicated, but I found something wrong in it. I didn't notice it at first, until they started delaying my return to the castle, I felt something wrong."

After Shang Jueheng finished dealing with the matter in Cangzhou, he was kindly invited by the head of the Chen family, saying that he was invited to appreciate antiques.

Later, after he was assassinated, he also began to wonder whether the Chen family was also involved, but some of the incidents could not be contacted.

It was not until he received a letter from Lin Xi that he found some clues from these incidents.It just so happened that Fourth Master Shang, his pregnant wife and a large number of people passed by Chen's house.

What Fourth Master Shang meant was that he originally planned to take his wife to Shangshangbao to reunite with his nephew for a long time.

Since we just met, let's drop by and go back together.

If it was normal, even if Shang Jueheng had doubts about this move, he would never be so wary that his own uncle would put him to death.

In other words, Shang Jueheng and Fourth Master Shang set off from Cangzhou together, but on the way, Fourth Master said that there were some things that had to be dealt with and he took the first step.

Later, his good fourth aunt wanted to commit murder while she was pregnant, but he had already taken precautions, so they didn't drink the Ruanjinsan tea that day.In the end, pretending to be fighting hard, he slipped and fell from the cliff, but in fact he hid himself in the cave on the cliff.

Afterwards, Fourth Master Shang sent people around there to search for his whereabouts. Since he didn't fall off the cliff at all, the search was naturally empty.But they thought that the chances of surviving after eating Ruanjinsan and falling into the turbulent river were extremely slim.

That's why fourth master dared to announce that Shang Jueheng's life and death were unknown after he received the reply, and he even pushed all this on Lin Xi.

In fact, at this time Shang Jueheng had already brought people to the merchant fort, and the person Hua Yusheng sent to meet him that day was not Fourth Lord Shang but Shang Jueheng.

But Fourth Master Shang didn't take any real action. If Shang Jueheng launched an attack at this time and there was no evidence that he could directly take down Fourth Master Shang, he would just go back to the mountain.

So he chose to return to Merchant Fort in secret, on the one hand to protect Lin Xi, and on the other hand to completely cut off this scourge.

"Hua Yusheng was your person from the beginning?" Lin Xi asked with raised eyebrows, so Hua Yusheng would remind Mingze to take him away.

Shang Jueheng touched his nose with some guilty conscience, "Baby, listen to my explanation. Hua Yusheng once benefited from my father, so it is impossible for her to betray me. But her character has always been like this, so everyone feels She is not sure about her position. Although she sent people from the flower team to meet me, we have not met, and there is no way to pass the news back. So I didn't mean to hide this from you, and I don't want to see it. Seeing that you are almost haggard worried about me."

After listening, Lin Xi adjusted her posture, and sat across Shang Jueheng's legs facing each other, wrapping her white arms around the other's neck to narrow the distance between them little by little until it was so tight that there was not even a gap.

Lin Xi leaned her head against his neck, and said in a sullen voice, "As long as you're fine, I don't care if you keep this from me." Even he couldn't plan everything, As long as the goal can be achieved, the process is not important.

Shang Jueheng was enjoying the other party's embrace, so he couldn't hear what he said.Seeing that he only cared about rubbing against herself, Lin Xi felt that he really hated iron for a while.

Angrily, he pinched the opponent's waist with his legs, and said in a fit of anger, "Do you want to hug him all night and do nothing?"

Hearing this, if Shang Jueheng could still sit still, he must not be a man, so he held Lin Xi's buttocks and hugged her directly.When he walked to the bed, he still gently put him on the bed, and then rushed on him anxiously.
