Chapter 247: Yan Kuan’s Weirdness
Shen Xiaoxiao’s grip on the door handle was a little tight. She took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open. However, when she saw the woman in the room, Shen Xiaoxiao was shocked. It was actually Ouyang Le. Why was she here?
This was the second base of the Dark Empire in China (not the one that Ouyang Jingling was in). Why would Yan Kuan allow a woman from the Ouyang family to come here?
Not only that, Ouyang Le didn’t get up when she saw Shen Xiaoxiao come in. She even continued peeling the apple in her hand as if nothing had happened. She was peeling the apple? For whom? There was no one else in the room except Yan Kuan. It couldn’t be Ouyang Le peeling the apple for herself, right?
Moreover, there was a hint of a smile in Yan Kuan’s eyes. This wasn’t right, right? Could it be that Yan Kuan had other plans? However, he had just escaped from the Ouyang family. No matter what plan he had, he shouldn’t act now without recovering from his injuries, right?
“Miss Shen is here? Yan, your apple. Since Miss Shen is here, I’ll take my leave first. I’ll come back to see you in a few days!”
Ouyang Le handed the apple in her hand to Yan Kuan and got up to leave. Shen Xiaoxiao smiled at Ouyang Le. How could she not do this?
And now, no matter how curious she was, she could not lose. Even if she was curious, she would have to wait for this woman to leave before she could slowly ask Yan Kuan.
Because this serious injury had hurt Yan Kuan a lot. Although it was only a superficial injury, other than the scar on his forehead that had ruined his appearance, his throat had also suffered a very serious injury. It had hurt his throat, and his voice had a unique raspiness. It was completely different from the usual low and deep voice.
Perhaps it was because of this reason, Yan Kuan’s words were becoming less and less. After he woke up, he only gave a few instructions to the Four Hall Masters to return to their respective positions and do their own things. He did not speak much, and he did not even have much to say to Shen Xiaoxiao. He was always so tired that he wanted to rest. Every time she saw this, the panic and strange feeling in her heart would grow stronger.
Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to take care of him, but he refused. He only said that he wanted to rest well. In addition, she had jumped into the river previously, so he did not let Shen Xiaoxiao come every day for her sake.
Therefore, when Shen Xiaoxiao heard the voices of other women in this ward, she was so curious.
What was even more curious was why it was Ouyang Le. Yan Kuan’s injuries were all because of the Ouyang family. What was he trying to do?
After Ouyang Le left, she closed the door of the room. This Ouyang Le was really not a simple person. How could she be so calm? And this Yan Kuan, what was going on?
“What’s going on? Why is she here?”
Yan Kuan glanced at Shen Xiaoxiao and lowered his head to place the peeled apple on the table at the side. He did not look like he was about to speak, and the disdain in his eyes could not fool anyone. But he clearly did not like it, so why did he take it?
Wasn’t Yan Kuan always someone who would not let himself suffer? Moreover, he was trying to play nice with a woman? This was not his style.
“Her? Ouyang Le? She is different from the Ouyang family. In the Ouyang family, she saved me.”
“Saved you? When did this happen?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was shocked. It was actually like this?
“When I was imprisoned by the Ouyang family, if she had not accidentally bumped into me, my life would have been lost.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Alright, it’s all in the past, so it’s not impossible to be a little less hostile towards Ouyang Le.”
Yan Kuan obviously avoided this topic and did not want to talk about it anymore. Shen Xiaoxiao had wanted to talk more with him about his time at the Ouyang family, or about how he had barged into the Ouyang family previously, but Yan Kuan’s voice changed. Every time she heard this voice, she felt as if she was listening to a stranger.
Therefore, Yan Kuan did not want to talk about it anymore. She did not have the desire to continue asking. It was different from his usual self.
Shen Xiaoxiao carefully scooped out the soup in her hand and placed it in front of Yan Kuan. She was not ready to tell Yan Kuan about her pregnancy. She was still hesitating, especially after seeing Ouyang Le and Yan Kuan’s conversation. In her heart, she was even more unwilling to reveal this news. She did not know why it was like this. In any case, she was not very comfortable in her heart. It was not comfortable to see Yan Kuan like this.
Yan Kuan took the bowl that Shen Xiaoxiao handed over with one hand. This time, he did not show any disdain from before. Shen Xiaoxiao was about to praise him, but she suddenly saw the words that were about to come out from his empty fingers.
Where was the ring? Where was the Obsidian Star?
Didn’t he say that once the Obsidian Star recognized its master, it could not be taken off? But why did Yan Kuan take off the ring at this moment? He even casually placed it on the table next to the apple?
What did this mean?
Her ring could never be taken off. Could it be that Yan Kuan’s male ring was an exception?
“Why did you take off your ring? Didn’t you say…”
“Oh, I felt uncomfortable wearing it. I was injured, so I took it off. What’s wrong?”
He asked her what was wrong?
Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head, bit the corner of her lips, and said, “It’s nothing. Just take it off if you feel uncomfortable. It’s fine. Drink the soup!”
After Yan Kuan gulped down the soup, he laid down and rested as if he was very tired. He did not communicate with Shen Xiaoxiao at all.
Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart was beating fast, but seeing that he was covered in injuries, she did not say anything and turned around to let him have a good rest.
…
“Miss, does Boss know? Is he very excited? Very happy?”
When 19 saw that Miss had returned and asked her impatiently as soon as she came out of the base, Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. It took her a long time to react. He was asking about that matter, right?
Shen Xiaoxiao rubbed her belly, then pulled on her seatbelt and said, “No, I haven’t had the time to tell him. He looks very tired. Let him rest more.”
“Oh? So that’s how it is. Oh right, Miss, I just saw Ouyang Le walking out of here. Is she here to see Boss?”
“Well, your Boss said that it’s because she saved him. Forget it, don’t worry about it. 19, no one knows that I’m pregnant, right?”
19 smiled at Shen Xiaoxiao and said, “Of course, Miss, you said that you wanted to give Boss a surprise. Of course, I won’t tell anyone. Don’t worry, 19’s mouth is really tight.”
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. Tight is good, tight is good. Her heart became even more uncertain. Although he had shouted ‘I love you’ at that time, ever since he woke up, those feelings of love, those feelings of love that should have existed… Those feelings of love that could be as bright as light in the dark night had completely disappeared. Was it because he had deliberately said that to appease her and let her run away, or was Yan Kuan’s love just an empty statement that could not be taken seriously?
“19, do you think your Boss loves me?”
19 was driving when she suddenly heard this. At first, he was stunned, then his face immediately turned red. Why did the Young Miss ask such a silly question? Everyone in the entire Dark Empire knew that the Boss was afraid of the Young Miss. He was afraid that she would fall if he held her in his hands. Was there still a need to ask?
“Of course. We all say that Boss is enlightened and treats you very well. Of course, he definitely loves you.”
“Is that so? Love? Perhaps, it’s love!”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s words became less and less confident. She looked into the distance. Love? That night was love, but now, she was not sure…
