After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

Nangong Yuan shook her head: "Targeting me is secondary. I'm afraid they will come to the General's Mansion."

There are only her and Madam Shen at home. If Nangong Yuan goes out, it is very likely that something bad will happen to Madam Shen.

So Nangong Yuan hardly goes out these days, just to eliminate this possibility.

"I understand. Leave this matter to me and I'll have someone investigate."

Nangong Yuan sighed: "Don't interfere. The Night King is already famous enough."

"It's okay, I'll check it secretly, don't be so distant."

Xiao Heyun sat on her couch, looking out of place in a woman's boudoir.

But he seemed to have no awareness of this at all and sat there feeling very comfortable.

"I don't want to involve you in these things. It's troublesome enough as it is."

Seeing the sadness in her eyes, Xiao Heyun frowned slightly.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, he didn't force it and took out a box from his arms.

"This is for you, may everything go well in the new year."

Nangong Yuan took it, opened it and took a look.

In the box is a very simple and beautiful hairpin, carved from emerald jade.

The pattern was an extremely freehand bird, with smooth and elegant curves and a hint of the sharpness of swordsmanship.

"It's so beautiful. Who carved it?"

Xiao Heyun asked: "Do you like it?"

"like."

"It's fine if you like it. It's not expensive, but the craftsmanship is better."

Nangong Yuan curled her lips and smiled, saying, "Then I'll accept it."

"I gave a gift, could it be that A Yuan didn't prepare one for me?"

He had just said it casually and didn't think Nangong Yuan would give her anything.

After all, few people knew that he was back.

Nangong Yuan didn't receive his message, so of course she didn't know the news.

Who knew she hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, yes."

"Oh really?"

At this moment Xiao Heyun was really surprised and sat opposite her looking at her.

Nangong Yuan said: "Then wait here for me, I'll get it."

The man nodded, sat upright, and looked very serious.

Nangong Yuan's back disappeared behind the screen. Not long after, she came over with something in her hand.

“Well...this one is for you.”

Xiao Heyun raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"

"Just open it and take a look, won't you know?"

Xiao Heyun was very curious and wondered what it was.

Could it be a jade pendant, a scented sachet, or some small gadget she made herself?

But when Xiao Heyun opened the contents, his smile froze.

"So many...banknotes? What are you giving me for?"

Nangong Yuan said: "I'm glad I can help you. I don't have much use for this money anyway, so you can use it for more useful purposes."

"I do not want."

Xiao Heyun looked a little cold: "This is your own private savings, right? What does it count as giving it to me?"

"I want to give it, take it quickly."

"A Yuan, why are you suddenly giving me so much money? What... do you want to do?"

Xiao Heyun paused, pulled her slender fingers, and his expression turned cold.

If you look closely, you can even feel an uncontrollable sadness.

"I know that the war in the northern border is at a stalemate. Those people are your soldiers. Didn't you use your private money to subsidize them before? I am just doing my best to help."

Xiao Heyun stood there in a daze, feeling that the object in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"Besides, this money is not much. Don't worry. Yuehui Pavilion has good business. I have money to spend."

After hearing this, Xiao Heyun said, "A Yuan, why do you have to help me so desperately?"

"Didn't I tell you earlier?"

Xiao Heyun didn't understand and was a little confused.

"If I can't remember, I won't tell you."

Nangong Yuan got up and opened the window, and a gust of cold wind rushed in.

It snowed heavily tonight, and the courtyard was sparkling with tiny sparks of snow, which was very beautiful.

"Come, have a few drinks with me."

When Xiao Heyun saw that she was no longer so serious, he felt relieved.

He rarely saw Nangong Yuan wearing women's clothing, and she looked so formal and gentle.

She leaned sideways on the edge of the couch, revealing her thin and strong wrists, looking graceful and elegant.

"Okay, but don't drink too much."

Nangong Yuan curled her lips and smiled: "Why are you suddenly chirping, Tao Zhu, bring some wine."

"I understand, Miss, but you can't drink too much!"

Tao Zhu came in angrily, put down a bottle of wine, glared at Xiao Heyun, turned around and walked out.

Although she looked angry, she was still guarding the door diligently to prevent anyone from barging in.

"Here, my family brews our own plum blossom wine, which has a unique flavor."

Xiao Heyun drank it all in one gulp and said, "It tastes good, but the taste is a little bland."

"This wine is not easy to get drunk, it is considered a medicinal wine."

"I didn't expect that you have such a rare thing in your house."

Nangong Yuan drank a few cups and felt a little tipsy after eating some snacks.

She was wearing thin clothes, and her beautiful collarbone was extremely clear in the dim light.

The heavy snow outside the door was blown in by the wind, fell on her black hair, and quickly melted away.

"Ayuan, don't get too close to the window. You'll catch a cold easily."

He took off his cloak and put it on her, then lowered the window a little.

"No, I don't want to wear it."

Nangong Yuan lifted her cloak and felt hot.

Her pretty cheeks were flushed and tiny beads of sweat oozed out from the tip of her nose.

"Be good and wear it."

Xiao Heyun spoke in a low voice and held her in his arms.

"Hey, why are you so bossy?"

"No way, A Yuan, why haven't we seen each other for such a long time? Why do I feel like...you seem to be hiding something from me?"

Nangong Yuan turned away and said in a muffled voice, "No."

"Really? A Yuan... I have nothing but you. Don't lie to me, okay?"

Nangong Yuan's face was sunken in the soft black fur collar, making her look exceptionally petite.

"I didn't lie to you...why do you say that?"

Xiao Heyun didn't say anything. He looked at the wind and snow outside the window, feeling very sad.

"A Yuan, give me some more time. It will be quick, very quick."

His voice was so soft that Nangong Yuan could hardly hear it.

The tip of my nose was filled with his faint fragrance, which gave me a warm and safe feeling.

Nangong Yuan slowly closed her eyes. She didn't dare let Xiao Heyun see the alienation in her eyes.

The mission has not been completed yet, so she cannot leave any flaws.

But at this time...why did he come back?

This isn't the right time.

Is the plot moving forward again?

Nangong Yuan was lost in thought, his brows slightly furrowed.

"A Yuan, have a good rest. I will spend the New Year with you today."

Xiao Heyun patted her shoulder and stuffed the hand warmer into her arms.

The room was filled with Nangong Yuan's fragrance, which was light and pleasant.

Xiao Heyun looked at her for a long time without saying anything.

No one took the initiative to break this peace.
