After my rebirth, I was the most favored person in Beijing

"You don't have to test me, sir. Just check it yourself."

Lin Xi knew that she could not completely hide her life experience from the person in front of her, but as soon as she slightly revealed that she was not Lin Hewen's daughter, the person behind her could not sit still.

Chen Xun smiled and propped up his head, "Really? If you find out anything, how are you going to explain it to me, Miss Lin?"

When he spoke, his eyebrows raised, and in Lin Xi's eyes, she felt that he was threatening her.

At the moment, Lin Xi could only dispel his doubts first and then resolve the issues between him and her later.

"Sir Chen, I still have things I want to do, and no one can stop me." Lin Xi looked at him firmly and said in a resolute tone.

Under the current circumstances, no one knows what will happen in the end. We can only wait until after the rain.

On the way back to Beijing.

Lin Xi then realized that they were running too fast. What if they caught him again next time?

"Miss Lin, don't be afraid." Chen Xun said calmly. He turned his head, lifted the thin curtain on the window, and looked out of the carriage with a heavy gaze. "Look, the scenery is so beautiful. Now we are also fellow travelers."

Hearing what he said, Lin Xi also looked outside in the direction of his gaze. The scenery outside was indeed as pleasant as he said.

But unexpectedly, he met the injured Shen Renzhang here. He was not as strong as before. His body was covered with scars and he just fell straight to the lakeside by the road.

Lin Xi just happened to look over and saw his face, and quickly said, "Stop the carriage."

Chen Xun smiled and said, "Why?" He lowered the car curtain, and the expression on his face changed slightly.

Lin Xi wanted to get up and leave, but her hand was held tightly by Chen Xun. He was smiling, but she felt even colder. She said, "You can't go."

That was Qingran's brother, there was no way she would just stand by and watch him die.

When Lin Xi thought of this, she tried to pull his hand away anxiously, but Chen Xun pulled her hand harder and harder. He continued, "Lin Xi, get out of the car, what do you want to do?"

Lin Xi turned her head and said, "I saw Master Shen."

Chen Xun's eyes changed, and he replied lightly, "Really? But I didn't see it, and this carriage can't stop."

"It turns out I was seeing things." Lin Xi said with a smile. She pretended to sit down and waited for Chen Xun to let go of her hand. Then she opened the door of the carriage and jumped out.

She rolled on the ground for several times before she stopped, with bloody marks on her body from being scratched by the stones on the ground.

She didn't understand why Shen Renzhang was here. Shouldn't he be in the capital? Lin Xi learned from Shen Qingran that although Shen Renzhang seemed like a dandy and had the habits of a rich kid, he had never fallen behind in his studies or martial arts. Moreover, he was the only legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo and would inherit the throne of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion in the future. Who would dare to hurt him?

Chen Xun didn't expect that Lin Xi would actually behave like this. It was totally unlike her usual calm and bystander appearance. It even seemed like she was risking her life for Shen Renzhang.

He sat upright in the carriage. After Lin Xi left the carriage regardless of everything, the gloom in his eyes could no longer be hidden. He clenched his hands tightly and placed them on his knees.

An Liang, who was disguised as a groom, could feel his master's anger without even turning his head.

This time, Miss Lin really angered her master.

He had never seen his master so angry.

"stop."

An indistinguishable voice came from inside the car.

An Lianglika stopped the carriage and looked at Miss Lin stealthily.

Lin Xi had no intention of attacking Chen Xun at all. She ran directly towards Shen Renzhang. However, she did not expect that the injuries on Shen Renzhang's body were more serious than she imagined.

"Mr. Shen, are you still able to walk?" Lin Xi walked up to him, not daring to move him, but the blood from the wound on his chest kept flowing.

Shen Renzhang heard someone calling him, and it was the voice he had been thinking about day and night. He opened his eyes dazedly and saw Lin Xi's face. He couldn't help laughing out loud: "Could it be that after death, people can really see the person they want to see?"

Seeing that Shen Renzhang was somewhat conscious, Lin Xi quickly said, "Mr. Shen, I am Lin Xi!"

When she said this, Shen Renzhang suddenly realized that this might not be a dream, but real.

He tried his best to hold himself up. The brocade on his body was torn beyond recognition, and his face was covered with wounds and dirt, so his original handsome face could no longer be seen.

"Miss Ling, why are you here?" Shen Renzhang regained his strength and tore off a piece of cloth from his body, sprinkled the medicine on the wound, and bandaged it up. "I'm being chased by someone. Miss Lin, it's best if you don't follow me."

Lin Xi didn't expect that he would be hunted down by someone, so she helped him up without hesitation and said, "If I didn't save you, Qingran would be sad if you died here."

As she spoke, she supported him and walked with difficulty.

Shen Renzhang felt very guilty. If it weren't for him, how could Miss Lin be like this?

"Miss Lin, I'm the one who caused you trouble."

"will not."

Not long after the two of them walked together, An Liang got off the carriage and blocked their way. He said with a fake smile on his face, "Mr. Shen, Miss Lin, my master asks you to take shelter in the carriage."

Shen Renzhang looked at An Liang with a hint of wariness in his eyes, and subconsciously grabbed Lin Xi and protected her behind him.

An Liang also saw his actions and quickly explained: "I am the follower of Lord Chen Xun." He lowered his head, but he was a little hostile towards Shen Renzhang.

Shen Renzhang himself also noticed this hostility. He seemed to have never had any grudges with Lord Chen, so why would the followers around him be like this?

He was puzzled, but he just smiled and asked, "Master Chen, why are you here?"

An Liang said without hesitation: "My master said that he was originally traveling with Miss Lin, but who knew that Miss Lin was accidentally injured. What's more, if you tell others about the clothes you are wearing now, it will easily damage Miss Lin's reputation."

This sentence is very clear. Chen Xun is considering Lin Xi completely.

Although Shen Renzhang didn't really want to have anything to do with this powerful official, after all, his father often had headaches because of him in the mansion, but now there was no better way. His eyes fell on Lin Xi. If they appeared in front of everyone in Kyoto wearing this kind of clothes, I'm afraid they would not be able to explain themselves.

He wanted to marry Lin Xi, but he wanted to marry her in a dignified and open manner, with the formalities of marriage and betrothal.

Instead of ruining the most important reputation of a daughter, and making her suffer the ridicule and contempt of others if she marries him.

"It would be disrespectful to refuse that. Please thank your parents for me."

As he spoke, Shen Renzhang turned around and explained to Lin Xi, saying softly, "Miss Lin, both of our clothes are torn. If we really go to Kyoto like this and get seen by others, I'm afraid it will be bad for your reputation."

However, he was still afraid that Lin Xi would misunderstand him, so he quickly explained, "I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just worried about you."

After he said this, he felt that what he said was not good enough and wanted to explain it again, but the words of explanation were on his lips and he didn't know how to say them. He seemed to become very dull in front of Lin Xi.

Lin Xi: “…”

She had always thought that Mr. Shen Renzhang was out of tune, but now she felt that he was quite reasonable.

The two returned to the carriage together.

Chen Xun looked at Shen Renzhang and asked directly: "Mr. Shen, you are quite interested in playing in this wild mountain and wilderness."

He bit the last word, making Shen Qingran feel that he had something else in his words, but he was a man who always went with the flow, so he said directly: "Yeah, I didn't expect that I would go too far here. I don't know if I will be punished by my mother when I go back."

As he spoke, he forced himself to support himself, bowed to Chen Xun, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Master Chen, for taking Miss Lin and I for a ride."

"You're welcome."

Shen Qingran didn't expect that Lord Chen, who was said to be cold-hearted, could actually behave like this. Could he be a person with a cold heart but a warm heart in this world?

Then, Chen Xun turned his gaze to Lin Xi standing beside him. Seeing the two of them standing together, they were truly a pair of "beautiful people". He gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that someone pecked my eyes just now."

In comparison, Lin Xi seemed much silent. She didn't say anything to Chen Xun and seemed particularly quiet here.

Seeing this, Shen Renzhang quickly continued, "Miss Lin is shy, I would like to thank you on behalf of Miss Lin."

As he was about to bow, he heard a cold but angry voice in his ears:

"Why? Who is Miss Lin to Mr. Shen? Does Mr. Shen need to thank me on behalf of Miss Lin?"

The ring in Chen Xun's hand had been broken. He threw it on the ground and shouted, "Lin Xi, come up."

This was a tone that would not allow her to refuse. Lin Xi also knew this. She said to Shen Renzhang, "Mr. Shen, please keep today's matter a secret for me."

Having said that, she got into the carriage with An Liang's help.

Chen Xun pulled her to sit next to him without saying anything. Looking at their movements, they seemed to be very familiar with each other and it didn't seem like they were meeting for the first time at all.

However, Shen Renzhang never knew what happened between them. However, when he met Lin Xi for the first time in the restaurant last time, it seemed as if he had also met him, and that feeling came back to him.

They both had the same cold temperament, but when he got into the carriage, he felt that they were so cold in tacit agreement that they seemed like the same kind of people.

Shen Renzhang put all these weird thoughts behind him and got on the carriage. He was too weak, and while smelling the incense in the carriage, he felt dizzy and leaned to one side with his eyes closed.

Lin Xi looked at his condition and said, "We have to go to the clinic first."

"Have you ever thought about the price of angering me?" Chen Xun looked at her.

Lin Xi turned around and said, "I was just thinking about saving people."

After she said this, she stopped talking. She was no longer able to figure out what Chen Xun meant.

The smile on Chen Xun's face completely disappeared, replaced by deep and unfathomable eyes. He just kept looking at Lin Xi quietly without saying a word.

The carriage swayed and came to a steep mountain road.

Lin Xi's heart also swayed along the mountain road. She had never seen Chen Xun like this before. Normally, he could disguise his emotions so that people couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

But now, he completely exposed his emotions in front of him.

Lin Xi suddenly had a guess in her mind, but she was not very sure. She looked at Chen Xun again. Chen Xun also noticed her gaze and glanced at her lightly, with endless surging waves in his eyes.

There was a hint of disguise in Chen Xun's eyes, and her face was extremely cold, but she was once again shocked by the thoughts in her heart.

Could it be that he likes me?

Or maybe it’s not that you like someone, but you just can’t stand seeing others being with you?

Just treat yourself as his private property?

If these were all true, she would be able to use Chen Xun to drug people more specifically in the future, and she would be more secure no matter what situation she faced.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi relaxed completely. She didn't want to pretend in front of Chen Xun anymore. She looked directly at the pastries on the plate in front of her, picked up a piece at random, and put it in her mouth. It was very delicious. She was really hungry. She was so scared just now that she didn't notice that she was already hungry.

Moreover, all the cakes in the carriage were her favorite white cakes, which melted in the mouth, had a soft and delicate texture, and were made with top-notch craftsmanship.

After eating, Lin Xi couldn't help but say, "It would be great if I could invite this cook to my house."

An Liang, who was outside the carriage, spoke at the right time: "Miss Lin, you can't hire this cook. He is worth a fortune."

Lin Xi nodded, looked at the plate of cakes in front of him, listened to An Liang's words, and turned to look at Chen Xun, "Could it be that Master Chen cooked for them himself?"

Chen Xun remained silent.

But Lin Xi already understood.

Chen Xun can actually make pastries, and they are so delicious. If this gets out, I'm afraid people will accuse her of spreading rumors.

Who could have guessed that Mr. Chen, whose face was so cold, could actually cook?

This realization made Lin Xi unable to help but put down the pastry in her hand. She had already tested his bottom line. If she went too far, he might really feed her to the tiger in his backyard.

"Why don't you eat?"

Chen Xun asked.

He had been sitting almost the same way until now, with no changes. But just now, when he saw Lin Xi and Shen Renzhang walking to the carriage together, his position changed.

But now, he was no longer sitting in the center as before, but was leaning towards Lin Xi's direction.

"I'm not hungry anymore." Lin Xi said, and then explained, "Master Chen, I just ate because I was extremely hungry."

In fact, she wanted to test Chen Xun's bottom line, but she could feel that Chen Xun was now wearing the mask he always wore, "So you're not hungry now?"

Lin Xi didn't know how to answer. After all, she hadn't even finished one piece of cake.

The look Chen Xun gave Lin Xi was filled with many emotions that she couldn't see, which made her feel uneasy.

After a long while, he finally spoke:

"Finally I'm afraid."
