Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 396: Ancient Dimension, Cannon Fodder Female Matching Whose Marriage Was Snatched Away by Co

"You send Miaomiao back. Arrange some capable guards, have them disguise themselves, and follow closely in secret. Make sure Miaomiao returns to the Shi Mansion safely. Then you will return immediately."

He seemed to be only concerned about Miaomiao's safety, but his slightly trembling fingers revealed the turmoil in his heart.

He knew that the little girl was not in the mood for love, so he wanted to slowly infiltrate Miaomiao's life as a friend.

Let her gradually get used to his presence while she is completely defenseless.

She also gradually got used to the slight changes that her identity brought her, such as having more guards following her.

So, even though every nerve in his body was urging him to keep Miaomiao by his side, he could only endure it.

Because he knew that if he acted too hastily, this seemingly harmless disguise of a friend would be easily torn apart, and at that time, everything he had carefully constructed would come to nothing.

Someone had already used force to force Miaomiao, but in the end, she found herself...

He couldn't be a man as vicious and incompetent as King Zhao in Miaomiao's eyes...

Xiao Jingyuan's eyes followed Miaomiao's slender figure that was gradually moving away. He stood by the second-floor window, like a statue, motionless.

His deep eyes were fixed on the gradually blurring figure. His gaze was filled with endless affection and longing, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was trying hard to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.

People were hurrying on the street, but Miaomiao was like a unique beam of light, gradually moving away in his world.

Until the carriage started to move, raised dust and disappeared completely from his sight, he still stood there motionless, as if as long as he did not move his eyes away, Miaomiao would never completely leave his world.

After a long, long time, he finally woke up as if from a long dream.

It was still the same face, but his aura suddenly became gloomy.

Xiao Jingyuan walked towards the seat where Miaomiao had just sat with slightly heavy steps.

The air around him seemed to become cold and silent, with only his light footsteps echoing in the empty room.

He slowly reached out and picked up the plate that Miaomiao had used. His fingertips gently stroked the edge of the plate, as if touching the residual warmth left by Miaomiao.

His movements were gentle and slow, and with an almost pious attitude, he brought the already cold water to his lips and drank it all. He then picked up the dish that had long lost its heat from the plate and silently put it into his mouth, chewing it.

The coolness went down his throat and into his heart, but it could not extinguish the burning longing in his heart caused by separation from Miaomiao.

He tried to find some solace from these things that still held a wonderful aura, even if it was just a moment's relief, to resist the unbearable loneliness brought about by yet another separation.

Every swallow he took was like swallowing his longing and pain, but he was happy to accept it, because it was the only weak connection left between him and Miaomiao...

Without Miss Shi around, Xiao Shunzi could already feel the emperor's pressure before he even reached the door.

He knocked on the door tremblingly and dared to step in only after getting permission.

The scene that came into his eyes made him hold his breath instantly. He saw Xiao Jingyuan sitting steadily where Miaomiao had sat before, like a solidified statue, with only the movement of his hands still continuing.

This scene was really too fragmented. After all, the emperor who was gentle and elegant in front of Miss Shi before, now that Miss Shi was gone, that thin layer of gentleness was ruthlessly torn off by him.

That's not all. Xiao Shunzi also saw that His Majesty was using the bowl and chopsticks that Miss Shi had used, swallowing the already cold food mouthful by mouthful, as if he was performing a very solemn ceremony.

Xiao Shunzi was shocked. He knew very well that His Majesty had a serious obsession with cleanliness and was extremely demanding about the cleanliness of things around him.

But now, His Majesty completely ignored all of this and was willing to sit in the seat where the future mistress had just sat, touching all the traces she left behind.

This was by no means a simple act. Xiao Shunzi instantly realized that it was His Majesty's strong possessiveness that was at work.

In the past, His Majesty has never shown any desire for women. He seems cold and cruel, and he even wishes there wasn't a female master in the entire palace.

But now, this future mistress suddenly appeared and became the one that His Majesty was thinking about most.

Even though she had already left, he still wanted to take possession of the remaining aura of his future mistress in this way, as if this could satisfy his paranoid desire to some extent.

This realization made Xiao Shunzi tremble silently.

Xiao Shunzi didn't dare to say much, but silently raised the status of Miss Shi to an unprecedented level in his heart.

He understood that in the future when he was with His Majesty, he had to be extremely careful with everything related to Miss Shi. Otherwise, the slightest carelessness might anger His Majesty's sensitive and paranoid nerves.

"Your Majesty, I have safely escorted the mistress back to the palace."

Xiao Shunzi lowered his head, looking as if he was completely oblivious to what His Majesty did.

However, the original title of "Miss Shi" was cleverly changed to "Mistress".

Xiao Jingyuan seemed not to hear the strangeness in Xiao Shunzi's words. His gaze was still focused on the plate used by Miaomiao and the seat she had sat on, his eyes full of paranoid attachment.

After a long time, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Shunzi who was kneeling on the ground.

“You are smart, remember, don’t make the wrong call in front of her.

Go tell the shopkeeper that this room is reserved for you from now on."

Xiao Shunzi just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave, but then he heard Xiao Jingyuan continue to order

"No one is allowed to come in and clean here except the palace maids who keep their mouths shut."

Xiao Shunzi's heart trembled. He knew the deep meaning behind His Majesty's move, but he dared not question it or delay it. He quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away."
