A little while later Xiao Jun comeback with Jinse who brought a basin filled with cold water and cloth. "You can go." He said in dull voice to the young servant.

However Jinse looked at Qianru reluctantly, didn't want to part with her Mistress. This was the first time she saw her Master hurt his wife, the matter between them must be not that simple and she was afraid if Xiao Jun would hurt Qianru further.

"You can go." But, Qianru didn't want anyone else nearby.

Jinse left them while bowing her head respectfully.

The moment Jinse left, Xiao Jun sat beside Qianru as he drenched the cloth in cold water and wrapped it around Qianru's swollen wrist.

The cold cloth stung her skin but it eased the pain.

"I will not go anywhere Jun." Qianru didn't dare to confront his eyes, but she had an urge to tell him her stand point. "Can you stop pushing me away?"

"You don't know what you choose, Qianru." Xiao Jun heaved a sigh, he dipped the cloth into the cold water and wrapped it around Qianru's wrist again.

"I know what kind of life that I will live the moment I chose to be with you." Qianru still refused to look at him and fixed her eyes at his hand on her wrist instead.

She was waiting for his replied, but no word came out from his lips, he remained silence as if he heard nothing, like they were not in discussion at all. 

They preserved their reticence until someone knocked the door.

Xiao Jun let Jinse entered the room, this time she was holding a small item wrapped with an intricate white fabric.

"Someone from Prince Mo Xuan Fei's courtyard deliver this." Jinse gave the item to Qianru. "He said it left on the carriage."

Frowning, Qianru opened the fabric and found her bracelet. It was a bracelet she always wearing in every occasion, the first present from Xiao Jun after they married.

Qianru didn't realize it had been missing until it appeared in front of her.

"You can go." Xiao Jun dismissed Jinse with a colder voice than usual, he stared at the bracelet with dark expression as if there was a raging storm within.

For some reason, Qianru felt a little bit uncomfortable, but couldn't find a right word to explain. Actually there was nothing to be expounded, she did nothing wrong, but at the same time she felt guilty for having a ride with another man.

"You are with Mo Xuan Fei in the same carriage?" Xiao Jun was squinted his eyes.

"Yes." Qianru retracted her hand from Xiao Jun's grip, but he held her hand stubbornly while putting an ointment on her wrist.

Both of them fell silent once again, but the tension between them didn't cease down.

"If you want to stay, don't forget your status as a married woman. Our situation will not tolerate a slight mishap like that." After applying an ointment on her wrist, Xiao Jun stood up and was about to go out of the room.

"Since it is my reputation that all you care about, you don't need to worry, something like that will never happen again." Qianru clenched her teeth tightly, trying to hold back her tears.


She knew that Xiao Jun meant good with his words, but to hear the way he phrased his sentences, it sounded so cold as if he didn't care with her feeling, or maybe he did?Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

Xiao Jun turned around to look at Qianru, who was trying to put back the bracelet on her right wrist, with ripples of emotion in his eyes.

The bracelet wasn't made from a valuable jade, it was merely a simple white gold with clasp to secure it. But, it would be hard to remove or put back on with only one hand.

Closing his eyes, Xiao Jun tried to calm himself.

It wasn't only her reputation that he cared about, it was her well- being that became his concern. He thought, they would be fine, but everything didn't run as smooth as he thought and it would be dangerous for Qianru to stay.

Xiao Jun walked slowly and knelt in front of her to clasp the bracelet, afterward he cupped her face in his cold palms while looking at her firmly.

"Qianru listen to me." Xiao Jun's deep voice sounded a little bit hoarse. "Whatever you hear or see, you have to believe me. Promise me."

Qianru could sense the uneasiness and Xiao Jun's reluctance to relent, but he did and all he asked was her to believe him.

"Alright." Of course she would agree, it wasn't hard to do the thing that she had done for years. She really believed him with all of her heart.

"And don't get close to Mo Xuan Fei."

"Why? Is he a threat?" Qianru didn't see Mo Xuan Fei as a threat, he was only a prince by name without actual power and without ambition for throne as well.

"Because I don't like it."
