Chapter 950 - 970: Can She Escape His Grasp
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in——!"
"Miss Xia, Yandi invites you downstairs for a meal."
Xia Xiaonuan nodded: "I know."
In the dining room, Situ Yan looked at Xia Xiaonuan, who hadn’t touched her chopsticks, and said, "What? Today’s dishes aren’t to your taste?"
"It’s just... it’s the same stuff every day. I’m sick of it."
"What do you want to eat? Just say it, and whether it flies or walks on the ground, I can have the chef make it for you."
"I want to eat outside, Situ Yan. I’ve been here for a long time, and I haven’t had a good walk outside. I want to go out."
Situ Yan looked at her and said, "You’re not in good health right now. It’s not suitable for you to be moving around. In a while, when you want to go anywhere, from the ends of the earth, I’ll take you everywhere."
Xia Xiaonuan sneered: "I don’t need to go to the ends of the earth, I just want to go out now." If it’s not with the one you love, even the most beautiful scenery in the world might seem bleak!
"Tomorrow, if you really want to go out, I’ll take you out tomorrow."
"No, I want to go out today." Xia Xiaonuan insisted.
Situ Yan tightened his jaw: "Xia Xiaonuan, don’t provoke me." He said, standing up, coming to her side, picking up the knife and fork, and handing them in front of her with an unquestionable tone: "Eat obediently."
Xia Xiaonuan suddenly reached out and grabbed the sharp part of the knife.
"What are you doing?" Situ Yan quickly grabbed her wrist and took the knife from her hand.
But it was still a step too late, the sharp knife cut into her palm, and fresh blood oozed out.
Situ Yan felt a pain strike his heart.
"Xia Xiaonuan, are you crazy?" His face darkened as he glared at her, shouting angrily.
"I am crazy, I’m being driven crazy! Situ Yan, I want to go out!"
Situ Yan trembled all over, holding her wrist, a long blue vein bulging on his forehead.
"Fine, isn’t it that you just want to go out? I’ll take you!" he said coldly.
How could he not guess Xia Xiaonuan’s intentions? Isn’t it just to leave here and take the chance to escape?
Yet, even if he took her out, did she think she could escape his grasp?
Xia Xiaonuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you for real?"
"But Xia Xiaonuan, I warn you!" Situ Yan clutched her chin, gritting his teeth: "If you dare to blackmail me like this again, I’ll make you regret it!"
His complexion turned pale, and his pupils flared with anger, looking almost terrifying.
Xia Xiaonuan gritted her teeth: "You left me no choice."
At this moment, a servant came with gauze and disinfectant.
Situ Yan picked up the disinfectant, personally disinfected her wound, and wrapped it with gauze.
Because one hand wasn’t agile, even a slight movement tugged the wound, but he still insisted on doing the bandaging himself.
"No need, I can do it myself."
"Shut up!" Situ Yan said coldly without even sparing her a glance.
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
******
Xia Xiaonuan and Situ Yan walked out together.
At this time, a figure approached from not far away.
"Yan, Xiaonuan!" Princess Rasha’er walked over from a distance, looking at Xia Xiaonuan and Situ Yan and called out excitedly.
Xia Xiaonuan’s gaze met with Rasha’er’s, and they exchanged a knowing smile.
This morning she called Rasha’er, asking her to come in the afternoon; but she had to wait until she and Situ Yan were on their way out to pretend to come forward.
