But she met him as soon as she came out.

Yu Caiwei took a half step back, keeping a distance from him, and said, "Sir, it's getting late, and I have to hurry."

She had made her meaning very clear, and he must be a sensible man and would not say anything more to her.

What's more, she is not going to marry him, so what kind of responsibility does he have?

Xiao Cheng's expression changed. He didn't expect her to be so sharp-tongued. Didn't she really want to spend more time with him?

Then he would not do what she wanted.

"You're right. It's getting late now, and I'm really worried about you guys traveling." He took two steps forward and blocked her way.

Looking at the handsome face in front of her, Yu Caiwei felt vaguely unhappy. She felt uncomfortable even when she looked at him.

She bowed slightly and said, "I heard that the prince is handling a case here. I believe it is safe here. No one dares to do anything under your nose."

Seeing that she was about to leave again, Xiao Cheng raised his hand and grabbed her without even having time to think, and for a moment he didn't know what to say to make her stay.

Is it concern?

He always felt unreasonably afraid that something might happen to her.

Yu Caiwei pulled her hand away abruptly, as if she had been touched by something disgusting.

Xiao Cheng was stunned. If someone didn't know, they would think that there was a needle in his hand, which was why he made her dodge so quickly.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while. Yu Caiwei realized that her behavior was a little too excited, and hurriedly explained: "I have been running all the way, and it is inevitable that I have some dirt on my body. I hope that the prince will understand."

She couldn't make things too awkward with him for the time being, as this marriage still had value to her.

Xiao Cheng's eyes flickered faintly in the darkness. She had just avoided him subconsciously. Although he didn't know why, he just felt that she disliked him a little.

This feeling made him feel very uncomfortable. She was his future wife. For the sake of their future harmony, he had to do something.

Xiao Cheng slowly withdrew his hand, put it behind his back, stood facing the wind, and said in a clear voice: "You have traveled for such a long time and must be tired. My camp is not far away, so you can stay here tonight."

“No need…” Yu Caiwei opened her mouth and wanted to refuse.

Before she refused, Xiao Cheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. He looked at the darkness around him and said in a low voice: "I have just arrived in Yuzhou not long ago. The bandits here are extremely fierce. Night is the time when they are active. If you encounter them on the way, I am afraid I will not be able to rush over in time. Don't argue with me anymore."

Yu Caiwei was not frightened by him, but the two followers around her immediately became afraid and pleaded tremblingly: "Miss, I think His Royal Highness is right. Let's stay here. We can still go back early tomorrow morning."

They don't want to die at the hands of bandits at such a young age, as that would be a very unnecessary death.

Yu Caiwei almost blurted out the word "waste" in her mind, but then she thought that they were indeed innocent and it would be inconvenient for them to walk this short distance at night.

There was nothing wrong with her staying, since there was no way he would eat her anyway.

Xiao Cheng stared at her tightly, and no other emotion could be seen in his dark and cold eyes.

After a while, Yu Caiwei had no choice but to agree to stay.

She and Xiao Cheng walked in front, with the shadow guards following behind.

Along the way, Yu Caiwei was paying attention to the surrounding environment and soon arrived at a camp. Compared to the darkness here, there was bright firelight over there.

The man next to her glanced at her, then walked forward, and she followed closely behind him.

When the patrolling guards saw him, they immediately stopped and saluted.

Yu Caiwei saw it all and thought silently in her heart, putting aside other things, Xiao Cheng was very good at training soldiers, and he also knew some Kung Fu.

It was just too dark outside and she couldn't see clearly, but now she found that his face looked a little bad and his lips were a little pale.

Before she had time to think about it, the man ordered: "They will take you to the tents. Have a good rest tonight."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to his tent.

Yu Caiwei was confused, she always felt that he was a little strange.

But then she thought again, his affairs had nothing to do with her. Since he was already here, she might as well rest for a night. When she arrived at her grandfather's house, there would inevitably be another fierce battle.

The conditions here were not very good, but fortunately he was thoughtful and specially asked someone to prepare hot soup for her.

After she took a bath, she finally felt that all the fatigue of the day had dissipated a lot.

Yu Caiwei sat on the bed and looked around the tent carefully. It was very spacious. There were people patrolling outside, and the warm yellow light from the fire shone in, making people feel at ease.

She took off her outer clothes and was soon left with only her inner clothes. Just as she was about to take a rest, she heard a rustling sound of footsteps outside.

Yu Caiwei was startled and hurriedly took her clothes over.

But before she could put on her clothes, a figure flashed in.

She was a little panicked. These guards were all strong and sturdy. If someone broke in intentionally...

Without time to think, she cursed at the figure: "Who is so bold? You know who lives here, and you still dare to break in. I am the prince's fiancée. If something happens, can you bear the responsibility?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a low laugh. With the help of the light, she could see the face of the person clearly and felt infinitely annoyed.

Xiao Cheng had changed his clothes. Now, he was no longer wearing the black wrist-binding robe, but just a loosely draped white long gown.

She was puzzled and asked cautiously: "Why did you come to my tent instead of taking a rest?"

If he wanted to do something to her without knowing the consequences, then don't blame her for being cruel.

Xiao Cheng's face looked a little ugly, as if he was enduring something. He walked to the side of her bed with heavy steps and then sat down.

Yu Caiwei stood up quickly, not wanting to get close to him for even a second. She said, "Master Xiao, if people outside knew that you were so shameless, I wonder what they would think of you?"

What a scoundrel!

Since he wanted to stay here so much, she would just give it to him.

Yu Caiwei walked out without looking back. Xiao Cheng looked at her from behind and said with some difficulty: "Don't get me wrong. I came here just to ask you to bandage me. I'm injured."

Accompanied by a cough, he really lay down on the bed weakly.

Yu Caiwei frowned, turned around and saw him lying on the bed. He didn't look like a liar.
