Free Web NovelChapter 165: Mysterious Man in Black!
After the banquet,
everyone dispersed.
At Elder Qiao’s repeated request, Long Chen finally agreed to stay the night.
Gentle Da Qiao kept her head slightly lowered the entire time, not daring to look at Long Chen.
Thinking about how soon she would marry this man in front of her,
Da Qiao’s eyes rippled with emotion.
She had thought she could control her own love life, but in the end, she had to compromise...
There was no choice,
Having been mature since a young age, Da Qiao knew that in chaotic times, not only she but even her father, Elder Qiao, could not control their fates.
And since ancient times, marriages were arranged by parents.
She was just a weak woman, how could she resist...
However, thankfully,
this man before her had a handsome face and an elegant demeanor.
He was a hero of his time!!!
Marrying such a man was fortunate for her, Da Qiao...
At least she wasn’t marrying some old and feeble warlord.
...
When Da Qiao returned to her boudoir, Long Chen was already waiting in front of her door!
"Young Master Long~"
Da Qiao felt extremely shy inside.
Why is Young Master Long standing outside my door instead of sleeping and resting at this late hour?
Long Chen, holding a folding fan,
was dressed in a refined white jade-like robe,
under the moonlight, he looked like an immortal descending from heaven!
He truly had an extraordinary aura, unmatched by any other man!
Hearing Da Qiao’s voice, Long Chen immediately turned around and smiled at her.
Cupping his hands, he said:
"The proposal today was rather hasty, I hope Miss will forgive me."
"Young Master, not at all, it is my great fortune to have caught your eye..." Da Qiao lowered her head, using her light blue sleeve to cover half her face, and said softly.
Now that her younger sister had just run away, Da Qiao was very worried that Long Chen might blame them, the Qiao family, for it.
Therefore, her attitude towards Long Chen was very gentle.
This was also her instinctive reaction as an elder sister protecting her younger sister, and her way of safeguarding her family’s interests.
Seeing Da Qiao so understanding, Long Chen’s opinion of her improved even more.
He then pointed to the bright moon hanging in the sky and said:
"Tonight, the flowers are beautiful and the moon is full. I wish to enjoy the moon with you. Would you be willing to accompany me?"
After a brief thought, Da Qiao finally nodded shyly.
Once he got Da Qiao’s response, Long Chen did not hesitate.
With swift movements, he approached Da Qiao,
getting very close to her,
"I’ll take you up!"
"Where to?"
"You’ll see soon!"
Long Chen took a step forward, wrapped his arms around Da Qiao’s delicate body, and with a gentle push of his right foot,
the two of them soared towards the eaves of the pavilion.
"Ding! Due to your intimate contact with Da Qiao, her heart rate has increased, and her favorability towards you has increased by 5, currently at 64."
Hearing this,
the corners of Long Chen’s mouth curled up slightly.
As expected,
the quickest way to gain a girl’s favor is through intimate contact.
Of course, this assumes there’s already some foundation between you.
Just like Long Chen and Da Qiao already had a marriage agreement,
thinking that she would be his in the future, Da Qiao’s body did not resist too much.
Moreover, Da Qiao now only wanted to keep Long Chen happy, hoping he wouldn’t pursue the matter of her sister’s escape.
Sitting together on the roof,
their bodies were very close.
Long Chen could even feel the warmth of Da Qiao’s body and its smoothness and softness.
Gradually, the temperature of their bodies also began to rise.
If Da Qiao were to look in the mirror now, she would surely see her face as red as a ripe apple.
“Ding! Under the moonlight, your charm is perfectly displayed, and enjoying the moon together has increased Da Qiao’s favorability towards you by +5. Her current favorability is 69.”
Long Chen was overjoyed, finding that winning over Da Qiao seemed quite easy so far.
It was a perfect scene, with beautiful scenery and a lovely companion.
However, just then,
a figure disrupted the beautiful atmosphere.
The figure was dressed in black, moving agilely within the Qiao family courtyard, carrying a slender figure in a pale purple dress on its shoulder.
The speed was extremely agile and swift.
In the dark night, it was hard to observe.
But since Da Qiao and Long Chen were sitting high on the eaves, they had a clear view of the scene below.
Da Qiao saw it first, covering her small cherry-like mouth with her hands and exclaimed:
"Young Master Long, look! What is that?"
Long Chen reluctantly moved his gaze from the two full, snow-white mounds and looked to the other side.
He thought unhappily, “Who is it that is spoiling my good time?”
Upon looking, his curiosity was immediately piqued.
What was this?
"Miss, is there a thief in your house?"
"I-I don’t know! Let’s go tell my father and the household servants!" Da Qiao said, somewhat timidly.
This was her first time encountering such a situation!
Long Chen, with sharp eyes, immediately saw that the person on the black-clad figure’s shoulder was the runaway Xiao Qiao.
What!!?
How could this be!!?
Long Chen’s brows suddenly furrowed tightly.
Damn it, someone dared to touch my woman!
Are they tired of living!!!
Long Chen guessed that this thief had set his sights on Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao but couldn’t act while Da Qiao was by his side,
so he took advantage of Xiao Qiao’s departure, striking in the highly concealing night.
"Ying’er, don’t worry, I’ll make that thief stay!" Long Chen said resolutely. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
This was the time when Da Qiao lacked a sense of security the most,
if Long Chen could seize this opportunity to show his masculine spirit,
Da Qiao’s favorability towards him would definitely soar!
Of course, the most important thing was... that thief touched someone he shouldn’t have!!
A sharp gleam flashed in Long Chen’s eyes.
He quickly activated the "Dunjia Heaven Book," mobilizing his inner spiritual energy,
instantly, he was like an expert in lightness skills, swiftly flying over the eaves.
His speed was incredibly fast!
In the blink of an eye, he caught up with the black-clad thief.
"Stop, thief!!!"
The masked person was startled by the sudden shout, almost stumbling and falling.
However, when she turned back and saw it was Long Chen,
a strange expression flashed in her eyes, as if a glint of light shot out.
She first quickly placed her index finger on the nose of the woman on her shoulder, sensing her weak breath,
only then did she relax.
All this seemed long, but it actually happened in a split second.
This proved that the masked person was a veteran.
Seeing Long Chen relentlessly chasing her, she sneered.
Her speed suddenly increased by three to four times.
Her figure was like an afterimage, making the distance between her and Long Chen grow larger and larger.
Damn it!
This person is fast! It seems they were holding back earlier!
Long Chen marveled inwardly.
But thinking about Da Qiao watching him from behind, Long Chen’s steps became faster and faster!
He was even more worried that Xiao Qiao might suffer harm!
