"You only left one person to protect me?" She was really afraid of dying.
With a hint of disdain in his gaze, Night Star said softly, "The man in black is quite skilled. Don't say just protecting you; even if a group like you came, it wouldn't be a problem."
After a moment of silence, staring intently into his eyes, Mo Xier wanted to confirm whether what he said was true. But after looking for a long time, she couldn't see even the slightest hint of wavering.
It was only at this moment that her heart truly calmed down. From his expression, it was clear that Night Star was serious and not joking at all.
"Night Star, if you really leave me alone in the General's residence, and something happens to me, you mustn't regret it!" Biting her lip tightly, Mo Xier said solemnly.
Looking at him with burning eyes, there was a hint of struggle and unwillingness in her gaze. Didn't he say he would take her wherever he went? Why was he suddenly going back on his word?! Leaving her alone in the General's residence!
His slightly calloused hand slowly covered her tender cheek, filled with pity in his eyes. He said softly, "I believe that with your intelligence, avoiding the hidden dangers in the General's residence won't be difficult at all. Moreover, a woman like Liu Xuxin is simply not your match, right?"
Receiving such praise from him, Mo Xier didn't know whether to cry or laugh. With a helpless expression, she turned her head to avoid his lingering hand on her face and said softly, "Night General, you might be overestimating me a bit. I'm just an ordinary woman.
In this General's residence, I have no power and no one to rely on. I don't know what kind of confidence I've given the General that makes you think I can handle everything well."
She spoke without leaving him any face, even her address for him became particularly distant.
Just by listening to her tone, Night Star knew she was angry. Having spent quite some time with her, he was good at reading expressions. How could the subtle changes in a woman's expression and tone escape his notice?
With that said, she had lost the desire to continue the conversation and struggled to stand up from Night Star's lap. But how could Night Star let her have her way so easily?
He reached out and firmly pressed down on her waist, slowly leaning closer to her ear and sighed lightly, "Stop making trouble. Maybe I'll leave tomorrow; today might be the last time you see me. Let me hold you properly; who knows when I'll get to hold you next time."
Hearing this, Mo Xier's body instantly stiffened, and even her movement to stand up was delayed for a moment.
Did this man even realize what his words meant? Didn't he say he didn't like her? Why would he say such things to her?
Was it all just a game to keep her in the dark, to dangle her like a toy? To him, was she merely a pet kept by his side, something to tease when he felt like it and forget when he didn't?!
It was simply outrageous!
Suddenly raising her gaze, the woman's beautiful eyes, which had been calm, now showed signs of agitation. "What do you mean by saying this to me now? What? Do you think I have become likable to you, General?"
Gripping her chin, Night Star's eyes were filled with silence.
Even as they locked eyes, it was impossible to discern any emotion in his gaze.
His voice carried a hint of huskiness, becoming even more magnetic. "I believe this isn't the first time I've told you this. I am interested in you; have you not registered that in your mind?"
With a light laugh, Mo Xier dismissed his words with disdain. Her enchanting eyes curved into crescent shapes as her delicate hands gently pressed against his firm chest.
"But what can I do? I've told you more than once that I have no interest in you at all! Please don't say such things to me again! It's disgusting! Can't you understand that?"
Her tone was exceptionally gentle, yet each word pierced Night Star's heart like a thorn, stirring feelings of sadness within him that he had never experienced before.
His hand around her waist tightened further, unable to control his strength. Night Star was just that kind of man; in front of her, all his emotions seemed to lose their invisible facade and were laid bare before her.
"Mo Xier!" The three words burst forth as if from between clenched teeth, causing anyone who heard them to shudder involuntarily.
"What's wrong?" However, the woman's response was filled with impatience.
Staring intently at her cheek, Night Star struggled to suppress his anger. The moment he looked into her eyes, it felt as if all his previous frustration had vanished in an instant.
This time, Night Star softened his attitude and said, "I won't be staying in the mansion much longer. I don't want to leave while still arguing with you."
"Don't want to argue with me? Fine, let go of me first. I'm still a Young Lady; I won't let you take advantage of me like this." Her gaze was cold, and a sneer slowly crept onto her lips.
However, the more Mo Xier resisted, the more it stirred the man's desire to conquer. The hand wrapped around her waist not only showed no sign of loosening but tightened even more.
At that moment, Night Star's usual indifferent expression was nowhere to be seen. In front of her, he resembled a rogue who took pleasure in taking advantage of others!
"There hasn't been anyone in this mansion who can go against my will. If I want to hold you, what can you do about it?!"
As those words left his mouth, Mo Xier thought for a moment that perhaps there was something wrong with her ears. Such words did not seem like they could come from him!
In surprise, she slightly parted her lips and couldn't help but reach out to check his forehead, wanting to see if he really had a fever; otherwise, how could he say such nonsense?
"You... are you okay? Don't say things that scare me. If you're sick, go somewhere else to vent it. My heart is too small to handle your scares." She turned her gaze away slightly, unwilling to look at him any longer.
Such a response left Night Star speechless.
In a moment of distraction, Mo Xier seized the opportunity, leaping out of his embrace. In the next instant, she darted away like a bird escaping from its cage, keeping her distance from him and refusing to come any closer.
Looking at his empty arms, Night Star took a while to regain his senses. Watching the woman avoid him as if he were the Reflection of Hell, he suddenly felt a wave of helplessness wash over him.
How was he supposed to tell her? He had no recollection of what he had said in her dreams, and such an explanation would likely be dismissed as an excuse by her.
Moreover, he found it strange himself—why did he have all his other memories intact, yet was missing hers?
There must be a reason! It didn't matter that he didn't know the cause now; sooner or later, he would uncover the truth! When that day came, he would see how she planned to escape from his embrace!
With innocent eyes like a fawn, she looked at him, her hands clasped in front of her chest, cautiously asking, "Didn't you say you were leaving? Then hurry up and pack your things. Just take off the black clothes; I've already come to terms with it. You can go however you want."
Her words came out in a rapid-fire manner, leaving Night Star's expression gradually turning sour.
Seeing him still sitting there without moving, Mo Xier couldn't help but softly ask, "Why aren't you leaving? There's nothing here worth holding onto. Just go quickly."
"Pack a bit more; after all, you're heading to the border. That place is nothing compared to the General's residence! It's better to prepare more..."
She had a long string of words left unspoken when she was interrupted by the man. "I understand. You don't need to give me so many reasons to leave. When it's time for me to go, I will naturally leave."
Mo Xier stopped, staring at him blankly, wondering if her earlier words had been too much. But thinking back on past experiences, any regret she felt vanished in an instant.
Turning her head away and refusing to look at him again, she softly said, "Since you know that, why are you still here?"
Even such an obvious dismissal made Night Star, a man known for his cold demeanor, feel a shiver inside. People said he had no heart, but now he saw a woman who seemed even more heartless than he was!
All warmth in his gaze dissipated in an instant, leaving only endless indifference. He shot her a cold glance before abruptly standing up and leaving the room without saying a word.
Xinrong, who had been waiting outside the door, suddenly saw him come out. Caught off guard and unable to even greet him properly, she watched as the man disappeared from her sight. Although they hadn't exchanged a single word, his back told her that the young master was in a very bad mood!
The only bad reason is because of The Woman in the House!
In her view, the Young Master and Miss Mo are truly a perfect match, but for some reason, these two seem to have walked into a dead end, endlessly circling inside without being able to find a way out, leaving her, as a servant, feeling anxious.
Night Star walked quickly, and because of this, he did not notice the change in the emotions of the person behind him.
At the moment he turned to leave, Mo Xier could no longer hide her worried expression. She stared at his back, unable to look away for a long time.
She understood her own heart; it was still inclined towards the man. However, in front of him, she instinctively concealed her soft heart, not wanting to be hurt again.
Yes, she did not want to have any entanglements with this man, but that did not mean she could not secretly care about him in her heart.
How could she not know that on the battlefield, swords and blades are merciless? It was precisely because of this that she wanted to go even more. She knew her own medical skills well; if he were injured and she was by his side, at least his life would not be in danger. Yet this man seemed determined to prevent her from going, which only added to her worries.
She was not afraid of the hidden arrows from the General's residence; she was afraid that swords on the battlefield would harm him.
Slowly sitting down at the table, her beautiful brows tightened even more. She had been in Heavenly Universe Kingdom for quite some time; she had heard Night Star mention some countries along the border.
Previously, everything had been peaceful and stable. Why would there suddenly be war? There must be a reason; those who come are not good and those who are good do not come.
Thinking back to the previous assassination attempt, it was clear that the attackers were not only targeting her but also Night Star. Even now, she still could not understand what common enemy existed between her and Night Star that would warrant such elaborate schemes and efforts against them.
