Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Xi Character, Second Watch (2)_1

She hung her head in despair! Not because she regretted her actions, but because she felt unlucky!

True, she had done it, but who could imagine that he would find out so quickly? Many people go their whole lives without seeing their own backs. She thought it would take another three or two months for him to notice, maybe during a bath when a maid might spot it, or perhaps during bed time with his wives and concubines.

And by that time, her family would have moved far away, disappearing into the mountains like a bird, and he wouldn’t be able to find her. He would just have to live the rest of his life branded a "Wimp"...

However, hope is plentiful, reality is skeletal!

Unexpectedly, the next day, the evildoer discovered and chased after her. He had issued numerous warnings beforehand: drugged her, stolen her clothes, impersonated her master, broke into her room...

Looking at these circumstances, the man was furious. It didn’t seem like something he would easily let go. What to do? What to do?

"Since you know that you shouldn’t have done it, what will you do now?"

Nangong Yi stared at her, his grip tightening on her wrist, almost pulling her into his embrace. Her body still had that sweet, refreshing fragrance, intoxicating and uplifting.

"I... I’ll... help you... wash it off..."

Cai Wei lowered her head helplessly, took out the medicinal water from her embrace. In fact, she had just taken it from within her space using her thoughts.

Dammit, they were in an inn at the moment. To keep her parents and siblings from hearing, she had to submit to his bullying; if they were in the desolate countryside, she would definitely summon Chang Mei to incapacitate him. Let’s see how arrogant he could be then.

Humph, humph, humph!

The man didn’t know what she was thinking, and lightly snorted: "Good that you know your place!"

Having said that, he casually waved his hand and his black brocade robe silently fell. His robust body appeared before her like a mountain. He turned around, his muscular back facing her, and he said in a low voice, "Light the candle."

Cai Wei exclaimed in shock, "That won’t do, what if someone sees us?"

The man was silent, looking at her sideways.

Half a moment later, Cai Wei sighed and said, "Fine, I’ll(Mom) go get it."

The candle was lit, and the warm candlelight was illuminating the room. The man sat by the side of the couch, his head slightly lowered, feeling phases of chill from his back. Her fingers were cool, touching his back lightly like a dragonfly touching the water surface, leaving as soon as they touched, yet causing his back to tense up, and his breath to slightly stop. There was a warm smile on his lips, as if enjoying the sensation.

Without turning his head, he could visualize her expression at the moment: the small, tender white face looking cold, and her crystal clear and big eyes full of anger. However, that anger had no power to harm him at all. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t help but want to tease her.

"It’s done!"

Putting away the medicine bottle, Cai Wei said in frustration, her voice full of restraint.

Nangong Yi lifted the corners of his lips, turned around slowly to look at her, with a smile that was profound.

"What are you going to do?"

Cai Wei reflexively became alert. The man’s smile seemed... sinister!

However, Nangong Yi didn’t do anything, he just said lazily, "As the saying goes, ’repay the peach with a plum’. Since Wei’er has helped me wash off my tattoo, I should also help Wei’er to erase the tattoo from her body!"

"What?"

Cai Wei was startled, "I have a tattoo on my body?"

After speaking, she suddenly remembered the incident when she was abducted and woke up naked. Could it be... that day?

Her expression cracked, and she almost burst into tears out of anger.
