Chapter 278 Let's leave the city together!
The one who paid such close attention to Mu Xin Nuan was naturally Duanmu Chu Ze.
Duanmu Chuze's eyes were deep, and when he looked at Mu Xinnuan at this moment, they were exceptionally tender and warm. This caught Mu Xinnuan off guard, and she seemed to have inadvertently fallen into the net of love, unable to break free.
Just as Mu Xin Nuan realized that her expression was inappropriate, the Crown Princess's gaze swept over her.
Mu Xin Nuan immediately snapped out of her daze, inwardly cursing herself for being useless! How dare she lose her composure in front of so many important people? Did she have a death wish?
The Crown Princess didn't linger on Mu Xin Nuan for long. After all, in her view, choosing a wife for her son was a serious matter, as she would be the Crown Prince's principal wife in the future.
Although Mu Xin Nuan is dignified, her background is somewhat inferior. She might not be suited to rule the harem in the future! Most importantly, she wouldn't contribute much to securing her son's position!
Mu Xin Nuan could tell from the Crown Princess's eyes that she wasn't very interested in her, and she breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she saw the way Duanmu Chen looked at her, she became a little uneasy again.
She always felt that Duanmu Chen's gaze was a little strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. For now, she could only play dumb, after all, in her opinion, His Highness the Grandson wouldn't have any ulterior motives towards her in public.
Duanmu Chuze was slightly displeased after noticing Duanmu Chen's gaze.
Perhaps because he had spent three years on the frontier, fighting countless battles, even though he had restrained his fierce aura considerably, he was still a bit more formidable than these nobles in the capital!
Sitting beside him, Duanmu Chen immediately sensed the chilling aura emanating from him. He tightened his grip on his cup, a cold glint in his eyes.
Once the banquet at Princess Zhaoyang's residence ended, the guests naturally rushed to say goodbye.
As soon as Mu Xin Nuan stepped out of the hall, Duanmu Jing called her back.
"Madam Mu, is it alright if I ask Anuan to stay and play with me for a while?"
Li was taken aback for a moment, but could only nod. The little princess had spoken; could she say no?
Just then, Liu came out as well. "Perfect timing, let's go together. I have something to discuss with you."
Li had no choice but to lead Mu Xinyao and Liu outside, while Mu Xinyao kept glancing at Prince Chang Le not far ahead.
The perceptive Mu Xinyao noticed that there were more girls who were in love with Prince Chang Le than with His Highness the Grandson! It seemed that it would be more difficult for her to climb onto Prince Chang Le's coattails.
However, Mu Xinyao's mind changed, and she realized that she had the strongest trump card at her disposal. She didn't believe that the Prince of Changle would not choose her.
Compared to Mu Xinyao's confidence, Mu Xinnuan was slightly helpless.
Because she knew that Duanmu Jing could never really want her to accompany her. It was clearly a terrible idea devised by someone!
As expected, after Duanmu Jing pulled Mu Xin Nuan into the carriage, Mu Xin Nuan was stunned.
Duanmu Jing chuckled to herself, then climbed into another carriage and ordered her servants to clear the way.
As soon as the carriage started moving, Mu Xin Nuan was caught off guard and lost her balance. She was already sitting by the carriage door, and with this sudden movement, she was about to fall out!
Suddenly, I felt a tightness on my wrist, and before I could even see what was happening, I was enveloped by an extremely domineering aura!
The unique blend of coldness and gentleness that belonged to Duanmu Chuze quickly made Mu Xin Nuan feel embarrassed and shy.
She placed her small hands on his face, trying to push him away, but instead he hugged her even tighter!
"Don't move! Be careful not to bump into something again."
The clear, gentle voice made Mu Xin Nuan feel dizzy for a moment, and she really didn't dare to move. She could only let the man beside her hold her, her whole body stiff.
Duanmu Chuze chuckled, "I thought you were so bold! Turns out you're nothing special."
Mu Xin Nuan felt her cheeks burning and whispered, "Of course I'm not as bold as you! You pervert!"
satyr?
Unexpectedly, this title pleased Duanmu Chuze.
"Anuan, to be honest, I never imagined you'd look at the railway like that? A pervert?" Duanmu Chuze smiled mischievously, nudging her neck closer. "If I don't do something, wouldn't I be unworthy of that title?"
Mu Xin Nuan vaguely realized what he was going to do and instinctively tried to hide, but her whole body was in his arms, so where could she hide?
"Hehe!" Duanmu Chuze laughed smugly. "Stop hiding! I was just teasing you. Alright, as long as you behave, I naturally won't do anything to you."
Mu Xin Nuan glanced at him sideways, "Where are you taking me?"
"Out of town!"
"Out of the city? What for?" Mu Xin Nuan was a little surprised. She thought he was just thinking of taking her to a teahouse or chess club or something. She didn't expect that he was actually thinking of taking her out of the city!
"I'll take you to see some beautiful scenery! Don't you like flowers and plants? Oh, no, I reckon every girl would like those."
Mu Xin Nuan's mind stirred. "You're going to take me to your villa?"
Duanmu Chuze raised an eyebrow slightly. "Smart! The girl I've chosen is indeed extraordinary!"
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him, "Don't give me that! Don't think that just because you say a few nice words, I'll give in."
"Haha! You! Alright, be good, I have something good to show you."
Mu Xin Nuan wanted to get out of his embrace, but as soon as she moved, she felt his large hand around her waist tighten even more. Looking at his brow, she saw that he seemed somewhat displeased, so she was too frightened to move any further.
However, this posture was far too ambiguous. Considering that although there was an agreement between the two, they were not actually engaged, Mu Xin Nuan almost buried her face in her chest, her whole face as red as if it were covered with rouge, like a rosy cloud, as radiant as a peony.
Duanmu Chuze was quite satisfied with Mu Xinnuan's behavior. He gently let her lean closer to his chest. "Sweetie, isn't it more comfortable to lean against me than to sit by the door? You're really something! Are you that scared of me? Or do I look like a tiger? Why sit there when there are plenty of other places to sit? Don't you think about what might happen if you fall?"
Hearing his rebuke, Mu Xin Nuan not only wasn't angry, but actually felt a warmth in her heart! This Duanmu Chu Ze was truly like a poppy, making him irresistible!
