Empress Running Away with the Ball! Chapter 498-499

Chapter 498: Truly a mystery

Thinking of the first time she met Mo Chuan, she couldn't help sighing.  In the past, how could she have thought that a quick meeting like that would result in all these things happening?

Only these matters, should she tell everything to the Eldest Princess?

"Eldest Princess, have the emperor personally tell you this story, alright?"  She spoke in a soft voice, giving the Eldest Princess a faint apologetic smile.

Because she really didn't know how to tell it.

She also didn't understand why Mo Chuan was willing to become a bodyguard for her, saving her not once, but three times.

She did not even know when Mo Chuan fell in love with her……

This had been a mystery to her the entire time.

The Eldest Princess gave a sigh and said, "If he was willing, this princess would not be asking you.  But, even if you want to say it, there are people that will not let you say it."

She winked at Chen Ning and said with a smile, "Look, there is someone looking for you,"

Chen Ning looked up and was stunned to find that there was an extra person that appeared in the room at an unknown time.

He was wearing black clothes, silently standing in the shadow of the room.  He was silent just like a shadow.

Chen Ning bit her lips and silently looked at him.  Although he was wearing a human skin mask, she could recognize him with a single glance.

Mo Chuan!

When did he come?  How could she not notice!

Coming and leaving without a trace, it was just like him.

He took off that aloof dragon robe that represented his true status and once again wore the black clothes of her bodyguard, giving him a familiar and warm feeling.

His deep, dark, and bottomless stared at her without blinking.  His jaw was tense and he did not say a single word.

He clearly knew she was looking at him, but he did not say a word.

The Eldest Princess looked back and forth, seeing that they were looking at each other, with no one sparing her a glance.

"Alright, alright, just say whatever you guys want to say.  This princess will not stay here as an extra person to listen in on your conversation."

She endured her curiosity and reluctantly walked out.  Walking to the door, she couldn't help looking at Mo Chuan before pus.h.i.+ng her way out the door and closing it behind her.

The room was quiet.

There was only the occasional sparks coming from the candle.

The two of them did not talk, just silently looking at each other.

Chen Ning suddenly felt that she couldn't see through Mo Chuan.

Because he seemed to be angry…..

But why was he angry?

What did she do wrong?

Eh, it seemed like she had done something to make him really angry.

She looked down in a guilty manner, avoiding his aggressive eyes.  She wanted to divert his attention, so she deliberately changed the topic.

"Mo Chuan, when did you come?  Why did I not notice at all? Your qinggong is so good, can you teach me in the future?"

Mo Chuan did not say a word.  His deep, dark eyes continued staring at her face, seeing it turn red and her feeling even more guilty.

"Wu, are you thirsty?  Do you want some tea? This is some mountain cloud mist tea, it is very fragrant…..Ah!"

She calmly walked over and poured out a cup of tea for him.

Before she finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed her wrist, gently holding it.  She fell like this into his arms and one of his hands grabbed her waist, not letting her move.

With a "dang" sound, the tea cup in her hand fell to the floor and shattered to pieces.

Chapter 499: This kind of feeling is really good

The items in the house were all priceless and this carved blue jade teacup was even rarer.

But the two of them did not even spare a glance for it.

"Why do you make these decisions by yourself?  Why do you keep trying to solve everything by yourself?  Why couldn't you honestly tell me about it? Un? Mo Chuan finally spoke.  He looked down slightly, looking into her eyes.

His voice was very calm that sounded like flowing water, but his eyes were filled with an inexplicable anger that made her unable to stop s.h.i.+vering.

She looked down, as if she didn't dare look at him.

His question was even more aggressive than his eyes which made her speechless.

"Is it because in your heart, I, Mo Chuan am that unreliable?  Tell me, have you ever believed in me before!" He suddenly reached out and raised her chin, giving her no choice but to look into his eyes.

His deep and dark pupils suddenly made her heart skip a beat, followed by her breathing becoming tight.

"Tell me!  Why did you not tell me about this!  Did you think that I couldn't save Xiao Ru or you?  If I didn't notice you being strange and I didn't send the Eldest Princess to save you, would you have returned to his side?  Is that right?"

His teeth almost shattered from gritting them.  Only he was wearing a face mask, so his face looked very calm, but his eyes were burning with a deep anger!

She did not know that when he learned that she had left the palace and was sitting on a carriage heading for the King Ding Yuan palace, just how shocked and hurt he was!

Because she had never trusted him, never believing that he could protect her!

That's why she would make this kind of absurd decision!

If he had not sent someone to secretly guard her, perhaps she would have already been eaten by that evil wolf, Chu Shao Yang, without leaving a single trace!

"You…..How did you find out?  Was it you…..that sent the Eldest Princess to save me?"  She shrank back from the anger in his eyes, but her heart also suddenly felt warm.

She thought that she had behaved very naturally, so how did he find out that she was acting strange?

"Do you think you can hide matters from this one?"  His eyes still burned with anger and his voice was cold and firm.

But in her ears, it felt very warm.  It was like a lost child suddenly finding their way home or like a warm spring breeze blowing in the cold winter.

He was hugging her in his strong arms.  She suddenly felt that as long as she was in his embrace, even if the sky fell down, she would not be afraid.

This feeling of having someone to rely on was really good, it was very good.

"Are you……angry?"  She raised her large eyes that were like clear springs and calmly looked at him.

Nonsense!

He was a man, it would be strange if he wasn't angry!

Mo Chuan stared at her as his heart was turned soft by her sparkling eyes.  He forced himself to harden his face, maintaining that cold expression.

If he did not keep scolding her, who knows what kind of bold things she would do in the future!

"Humph!"  He gave a heavy snort.

"Don't…..be angry.  I promise you, this is the last time.  I will tell you everything that happens and won't hide anything from you, alright?"

She was intelligent, so of course she knew why he was angry.  Not to mention the fact that she had been too subjective, too willful, and also too…..untrusting of him.
