"Why do you always get caught by me?" His pair of eyes, which were shockingly bright even in the dark, swept towards the 'thing' in Meng Fuying's hands, meaning something.
This woman had used less than four hours to 'empty' the Bai family's treasury. Furthermore, she had not been discovered by the Bai family. He knew very well how tight the security of the Bai family was.
Not bad, not bad at all.
"That's right. What a coincidence. Hehe…" Meng Fuying chuckled softly, but she was secretly vexed. Who would want to be caught by him? Wasn't he very busy every day? He was still strolling on the streets in the middle of the night.
Didn't he say that he wouldn't take the initiative to talk to others? Why did he keep harping on her?
"You didn't hide your fox tail well." Seeing her complicated smile, Xuanyuan Ye spoke again. This time, there was a special meaning in his words.
"Your Highness, instead of sleeping in the night, you are going through so much trouble to catch me, I'm really…" Meng Fuying once again faintly smiled. Her red lips moved slightly, and the voice she spat out became even gentler.
However, at this point, she deliberately paused. After taking a long breath, she added, "Very pleased."
Her standard of speech had always been so high that it made people speechless.
"You are indeed very pleased with yourself." Xuanyuan Ye raised his eyebrows once again. The corners of his lips twitched slightly as if he was smiling faintly. Meng Fuying was stunned. She did not know if his words were complimentary or derogatory.
She looked at his face and was stunned again.
When she entered the Bai Residence just now, it was still pitch black without any moonlight. She was secretly happy that God was helping her.
Now, the full moon actually peeked out through the clouds. Perhaps she was also tempted by this man's peerless looks.
With the bright moonlight and at such a close distance, Meng Fuying, who was already used to the darkness, could clearly see his appearance.
At this moment, he was no longer as cold and distant as he was earlier in the day. Instead, he was more casual.
Although he still had an imposing aura amidst his laziness, he was no longer as cold and tough as before. Perhaps it was because of the moonlight shrouding him, but there was a faint gentleness to him.
This side of him was even more lethal. Under the hazy moonlight, his face was so beautiful that one forgot to breathe.
No one could resist such charm.
Meng Fuying suddenly had the urge to rush over and bite that face.
She subconsciously wanted to reach out her hand and ruthlessly trample on that face that angered both humans and gods. However, the heavy 'thing' in her hand suddenly brought her back to reality.
Inwardly, she was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. She must be crazy to want to bite a man!
Luckily, Xuanyuan Ye didn't know what she was thinking. Otherwise…
When she saw the meaningful smile on his lips, she felt even more depressed.
A demon, a demon that angered both humans and gods. Why did he come out to seduce people for no reason?!
"Since it's such a coincidence that I met Your Highness, why don't Your Highness help me to move the money?" Withdrawing her thoughts, Meng Fuying once again smiled and negotiated in a very cordial manner without the slightest concealment.
There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
This man had caught her here, but she couldn't figure it out. What was he thinking? What did he want to do with her?
The corners of Xuanyuan Ye's lips twitched slightly. This woman really dared to say that.
However, it was not difficult for him to guess her thoughts.
"This prince would like to send you to the government office, perhaps to see the emperor, or perhaps to see the duke. Choose one yourself." A low voice, devoid of any emotion, and a faint aura, seemingly accompanied by the cool night wind, blew on Meng Fuying's face.
It was slightly cold and she could not feel much warmth.
At this moment, he seemed to be getting closer to her. His oppressive aura made her body freeze slightly.
Her heart skipped a beat. For a moment, she could not guess if this man was telling the truth because he had hidden it too deeply.
However, she definitely could not go with him to meet any one of them. If she did, she would be finished.
"I prefer going back to sleep." Meng Fuying suppressed the shock in her heart and laughed. She quickly glanced at him before turning around and walking forward.
The best strategy was to leave.
He was too dangerous. She knew that she was no match for him, so it was better to think of a way to leave as soon as possible.
She hoped that this man would not be so vicious and insist on killing her.
She did not leave too quickly and instead tried her best to maintain her pace. She knew that if this man wanted to stop her, she would not be able to escape no matter how fast she was.
She prayed in her heart that he would not stop her and that he would pretend he did not see her.
She really wished that she could hypnotize him now.
However…
However…
To her surprise, there was no sound at all. Not only did she not hear him stop her, but she did not even hear him breathing.
After walking a few steps, she quietly looked back and realized that the place she had just been at was already empty.
He had left long ago?
This man came and went without a sound. His kung fu was unfathomable.
The hateful man had given her a false alarm.
However, he should also know that part of the silver was tomorrow's funds.
She understood that he left just like that also because he knew where the silver was hidden.
It seemed that something had gone wrong in her plan.
But, who knew what role he would play tomorrow?
As Meng Fuying pondered, she frowned slightly.
The next morning, she heard from Meng Ruxue that Bai Yichen had arranged to meet Xuanyuan Ye at Moon Lake.
Bai Yichen arranged to meet Xuanyuan Ye at Moon Lake?
She wasn't worried about Bai Yichen at all, but she couldn't help but worry about Xuanyuan Ye. That man was simply too dangerous.
Thinking of his ambiguous attitude last night, the corners of Meng Fuying's eyes subconsciously twitched.
She only found out today that Xuanyuan Ye was in charge of the funds this time. So, it wasn't hard for her to guess Bai Yichen's motive for meeting him?
But, meeting him at Moon Lake? Moreover, Meng Ruxue found out about it so early in the morning?
This didn't seem to be his style? Could it be…?
"Qing Zhu, let's go to the Moon Lake." Since he had specially arranged it, she naturally had to go take a look.
"Hmm? Oh, yes, Master." Qing Zhu was taken aback. She looked at her in confusion before replying.
The two went to Moon Lake. Meng Fuying seemed to be admiring the scenery in the lake, but her eyes were looking for that figure.
