Chapter 357 I Love You
Xiao Zhuo and Rong Zheng were startled when they heard the words.

Rong Zheng frowned, with a puzzled look on his face.What day is it today?Why did one or two come to the door?
She lowered her head, a little undecided.

Since Mu Bai followed Song Qinghuan to Chenxiang Pavilion last time, she has not seen him again.Thinking that it was probably his indifference that day that hurt him, although he felt a little disappointed, he was more fortunate.

If Mu Bai can give up on himself as soon as possible, it will be good for him.Otherwise, with this body, even if he was with him, it would only drag him down.

Now that the first step has been taken, let's be unfeeling to the end.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, and was about to ask Xiao Er to reject him, but for some reason, the words came to her lips but changed her words, "Is he alone?" She looked at Xiao Er, her eyes darkened .

Xiao Er nodded yes.

Just him?
The look of suspicion in Rongzheng's eyes was even worse.

You know, Mu Bai has never come to look for her alone before, this time, could it be that Song Qinghuan has something to do?

Thinking of it this way, my mind moved slightly, but I hesitated a little.

At this time, she felt Xiao Zhuo's probing eyes fall on her face, her long eyelashes blinked in a panic, she looked up at him and smiled, not knowing how to speak for a while.

Xiao Zhuo is still here, it doesn't seem too good for her to leave him to see Mu Bai.

At the moment when she was in a dilemma, Xiao Zhuo glanced at her and suggested, "What's the matter with Princess Xu? Ms. Rong, why don't you go see Mu Bai? I'll just wait here."

It just so happened that he didn't think about what to say to Rong Zheng, maybe he could take advantage of the time when she went to see Mu Bai to clear his mind.

On the other hand, he felt that Mu Bai's coming today might not be because of Song Qinghuan.He knew Mu Bai well, if Mu Bai and Rong Zheng could succeed, he would be happy to see it succeed, so he wanted to create a chance for them to come out.

Rong Zheng bit her lip and glanced at him, feeling that Xiao Zhuo's attitude was a bit strange.

His expression seemed to know something?
But Mubai may not even understand what he thinks about him, even if he knew Xiao Yao, it is unlikely that he would tell Xiao Yao about it.

Furthermore, what is Xiao Zhuo's reason for coming here today?

There are countless questions swirling in my mind, but I don't know how to ask them.

After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind, looked at Xiao Er and said, "Go and tell Mr. Mu Bai that Mr. Xiao Zhuo is also there. If he doesn't mind, we can have a cup of tea together."

The attitudes of both of them are somewhat ambiguous. It doesn't seem very good for her to just greet anyone. Why don't we meet together, maybe there will be some unexpected gains.

Xiao Zhuo raised his eyes to look at her in surprise, quickly lowered his eyelashes, took a sip from the cup of tea at the side, and a look of suspicion flashed across his eyes.

Xiaoer should be, and quickly withdrew.

After a while, footsteps sounded again at the door, and then there was a "dong dong" knock on the door, "Miss, Mr. Mu Bai has arrived."

"Come in." Rong Zheng straightened his body slightly, looked at the door and spoke lightly.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and the one who appeared in sight after Xiao Er was indeed Mu Bai in a black brocade robe.His eyes swept in, and when they passed Xiao Zhuo, there was a slight fluctuation.

Rong Zheng got up to meet him, and saluted him.

"Miss Rong." Mu Bai returned the salute, looking behind him inadvertently.

Xiao Zhuo also got up, walked up to Mu Bai and smiled, "Mu Bai, we meet again."

"Young Master Xiao." Mu Bai saluted again, and also smiled, "I didn't expect Young Master Xiao to be in Chenxiang Pavilion."

For a moment Xiao Zhuo didn't know how to explain his purpose of coming here, so he just gave a soft "um" without saying much.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed awkward, Rong Zheng quickly said, "Since we all know each other, why don't we sit down and chat first."

Mu Bai responded "OK", and sat down in front of Chang Ji, just beside Xiao Zhuo, facing Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Mu Bai, "Take a sip of tea first."

"Thank you." Mu Bai stretched out his hand to receive it.He didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to be here, his mind was a little flustered, his hands moved a little hastily, before Rong Zheng could withdraw his hand, Mu Bai's fingers held the cup, their fingertips touched, A faint coolness came from Rongzheng's fingertips.

Mu Bai frowned calmly.

Although it is winter now, but the charcoal fire is burning in the room, it is as warm as spring, why are her fingertips still so cold?Looking up at the expression on her face, her eyes fell on the paleness of her eyes, and her brows frowned even tighter.

Rongzheng quickly withdrew his hand, the momentary panic in his eyes disappeared, and he said with a chuckle, "I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but it brought these two rare guests here." There was a hint of wind in his voice. Being naughty, it also relieved the awkward atmosphere just now.

Xiao Zhuo was always shy, when he heard this, he didn't know how to speak.Besides, he hadn't met Rong Zheng a few times before, although he knew her own sister at this time, but to Rong Zheng, he was still a stranger to her, and he didn't know how to speak properly.

On the other hand, Mu Bai was more cheerful, so he also smiled when he heard the words, and raised the teacup in his hand, "I came to Chenxiang Pavilion to drink tea once, and I missed it. Miss asks for a cup of tea, please don't mind."

Seeing his expression as usual, talking and laughing at Yan Yan, Rong Zheng couldn't bear to treat him coldly, and raised his eyebrows, "You're joking again, isn't the tea in Prince Han's Mansion better than the tea in my Chenxiang Pavilion? How could it be my turn to beg for it?" Tea?"

Seeing her smiling face, Mu Bai's heart couldn't help but move, and like a ghost, he took off a sachet from his waist, handed it to Rong Zheng, coughed, and said, "Actually It's not a big deal, it's just that the smell of spices in the sachet that Miss Rong gave me last time was a bit weak, I wonder if you can trouble Miss Rong to make another pair of spices for me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to feel Xiao Zhuo's eyes cast a cool glance on his face. He didn't know why, but his heart thumped a little, and he quickly explained, "Miss Rong is indeed a master perfumer, smelling the spices you helped me mix earlier. , Sure enough, it is easier to fall asleep at night, so I have the cheek to disturb you again."

Although the excuse he came up with in a hurry was a bit abrupt, it was also reasonable.

Originally, he came here today simply because he wanted to see Rong Zheng.After coming with the princess last time, he sensitively felt that Rong Zheng's attitude towards her was much colder.

Although he had made up his mind not to disturb her anymore, when he walked near the Chenxiang Pavilion today, he still couldn't hold back and came in impulsively.

I originally thought that if Rong Zheng was not around, I would treat them as if they had no fate, and I should restrain myself in the future.Unfortunately, Rong Zheng is in the shop today.But what he didn't expect was that Xiao Zhuo was also there.

He couldn't think of the reason why Xiao Zhuo was here.

Logically speaking, Xiao Zhuo and Rong Zheng should not know each other. The last time they met in the alley, Xiao Zhuo's behavior was normal. Looking at Rong Zheng was like seeing a stranger.Could it be that something happened that I didn't know about in the past few months?Otherwise, how did the two get to know each other enough to drink tea together in the same room?

Subconsciously, he felt a sense of crisis that he didn't realize, so when Xiao Er repeated Rong Zheng's words to him, he hesitated for a moment, but still complied.

Rong Zheng reached out to take the sachet from him, with a slight smile on his face, "Of course, you are welcome."

Seeing the familiar appearance of the two coming and going, Xiao Zhuo suddenly felt that he was a bit redundant here, cleared his throat, and blushed slightly, "So, I haven't learned Miss Rong's fragrance mixing skills yet, Rong If the girl doesn't mind, can you give me a pair of calming spices?"

When Xiao Zhuo said this, he didn't think too much, he just wanted to show his presence in front of Rongzheng.

It can be said that those who are not interested in the listener are interested, Rong Zheng is still good, although a little strange, he still nodded politely.Mu Bai's smile froze, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

He knew that in private, Xiao Zhuo had always been taciturn, but this time, not only did he suddenly come to Chenxiang Pavilion to look for Rong Zheng, but he also asked her to help him mix spices, which seemed a little strange.

A thought came to his mind, and his face turned pale instantly.

Could it be...he also fell in love with Rongzheng?
Thinking of this, my breathing tightened suddenly.

Xiao Zhuo looks good, but also has outstanding ability.In the past, he was already a great general in Liang country, although now in Zhao country he has only reached the position of the iron armored guard, but he is highly regarded by the young master. Given time, his future is bound to be bright.

Compared with him, I seem to have no chance of winning at all.

Thinking about it this way, the originally bright eyes dimmed in an instant.

Although Xiao Zhuo is not good at words, but his mind is sharp.Almost at the same moment, he felt the change in Mu Bai's breath around him.

He was only stunned for a moment, and he immediately reacted.

Mu Bai is... treating himself as a rival in love?
The corners of the mouth raised in a dumbfounding arc.But thinking about it carefully, Mu Bai didn't know his true identity, let alone Rong Zheng's relationship with him, what he said just now was indeed easy to cause misunderstanding.

He grinned and decided not to be an eyesore here.Originally, he wanted to get closer to Rong Zheng and ask her how she was doing in the Rong family these years, but Mu Bai was here, so he couldn't say these words.If he sat down again, even Rong Zheng would doubt his intentions.

Taking a sip from the teacup in front of her, she looked up at Rongzheng, "Thank you Miss Rong for your hospitality, I still have something to do, so I'll be sitting down soon, and I'll come see Miss Rong some other day when I'm free."

After saying that, she turned her head to look at Mu Bai again, raised her lips, and showed a friendly smile, "Mubai, then I'll go first, you and Miss Rong can talk slowly."

Rong Zheng looked astonished.

This... this is leaving?He hasn't said anything yet?
Xiao Zhuo had already stood up, bowed his hands to the two of them, went to the door and opened it, strode out, leaving the two people in the room looking at each other.

The door closed again, and the sound of Xiao Zhuo's footsteps gradually faded away.

Mu Bai withdrew his gaze and frowned.

One moment he was thinking about what he would do if Xiao Zhuo also fell in love with Rongzheng, but the next moment he just left?The key is that smile before he left, no matter how you look at it, it's weird.

How should I put it, he thought that with Xiao Zhuo's sensitivity, he could more or less guess a little bit of his thoughts on Rong Zheng, but in this case, his smile just now didn't look like he should have the same smile when facing a "rival in love". His attitude seemed to be... It seemed like there was a hint of teasing in the encouragement.

Could it be... Could it be that I thought wrong?

Suspiciously turning his eyes to Rong Zheng, his lips moved, and he still asked tentatively, "Miss Rong, did I disturb you and Mr. Xiao?"

Rong Zheng also came back to his senses, shook his head, his eyes were also puzzled, and he said lightly, "No."

Mu Bai was silent for a moment, then said again, "Young Master Xiao, come here, what's the matter?"

His words were actually a bit abrupt, but Rongzheng didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong. With a "huh", he stroked the tip of his eyebrows with his fingertips, "I don't know either. When I went downstairs just now, I saw Mr. Xiao stood blankly outside the shop, as if he had been standing there for a long time. I asked him if he wanted to come in and sit down, but he agreed.” The words were also full of surprise, “We didn’t chat a few words afterwards, it happened that You came here."

Hearing her explain everything to him in detail, for some reason, Mu Bai's heart fluttered suddenly a lot more at ease, and he smiled at Rongzheng, with a slightly joking tone, "So, I really bothered you."

Speaking of which, this was the first time that Rong Zheng and Mu Bai were alone together.When I usually see Mu Bai, most of the time when he is guarding beside Song Qinghuan, he naturally has a serious expression, so I seldom see him smiling like this.

I saw his sword-shaped eyebrows drawn into the temples, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his eyes had a bright spring light, Rong Zheng's heart beat suddenly slowed down a beat, and he didn't know how to speak in a daze.

Mu Bai was slightly happy in his heart, and said politely, "The last time I saw Miss Rong didn't look very well, but she was not feeling well? Did you see a doctor?"

His words were already beyond the bounds, but Rongzheng's eyes seemed to give him courage just now, so he didn't think about anything, and said these words according to his heart.

But unexpectedly, Rong Zheng's floating eyes suddenly turned cold.

She lowered her eyes, hiding the self-deprecating look in her eyes.How did it take so long to forget?With my own body, what right do I have to like others?Why bother to give unnecessary hope to others?
"I'm fine." She quickly adjusted her thoughts and said coolly.

Mu Bai frowned fiercely.

In just three words, he could hear the coolness in her words, as if the throbbing in her eyes just now was just his illusion.

Mu Bai didn't understand what happened, and he didn't know why Rong Zheng's attitude towards him was so unpredictable.

He couldn't figure out Rongzheng's attitude, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

Rong Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, "Master Mu Bai, is there anything else? If not, I still have some guests to entertain, so I can't accompany you."

Mu Bai's expression froze suddenly.

She called back his young master again, the estrangement in her words was so obvious.

Seeing his injured expression, a trace of unbearableness flashed across Rongzheng's eyes.But she knew that short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, and now she has made up her mind to reject him, which is good for both of them.After a while, he will always forget himself.

Mu Bai lowered his head and didn't speak, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

Rongzheng frowned, feeling as if something was grabbing his heart, and he felt extremely depressed.She picked up the teacup in front of her and took a big gulp, only to feel the feeling of palpitation subside a little.

Couldn't bear to look at Mu Bai's disappointed eyes anymore, she took a deep breath and stood up, "Then... I'll go down first, if you need anything, just tell Xiaoer .”

After stuttering, she lifted her skirt and hurriedly walked towards the door.

Unexpectedly, before she could take a step, someone grabbed her wrist.

Looking back in surprise, it was indeed Mu Bai who held her wrist, raised his head, and looked at her without blinking, his eyes were shining brightly.

Rong Zheng's heart stopped beating.

Probably because of his status, Mu Bai has always been very restrained in front of her, and he rarely even looked directly at her. She never expected that such an act of directly grabbing her wrist would happen.

Pulling back his long eyelashes, he tried to make his voice sound colder, "Master Mu Bai, what are you doing?"

Mu Bai's mind was also very confused at this time.

Rongzheng's wrist was the same as her fingertips, there was a faint coolness, which made Mu Bai's fingers tremble, and he didn't understand why Rongzheng's body was so cold.

But soon, he was pulled back by Rongzheng's words.

He naturally heard the indifference in her words, but he didn't want to let go.

Previously, he was worried because of his status, so he was hesitant to express his feelings to Rongzheng. He came here today to see if she was doing well, but he just smiled at Xiao Zhuoqiao. Seeing Xi's appearance, a bit of displeasure suddenly appeared in my heart.

It seemed that he didn't want to see her smiling so brightly at other men.

However, before he had time to sort out his thoughts, Rong Zheng said his goodbyes. His mind was so hot that he didn't care to think about it. His body had already been reacted by his thoughts, and he accurately grasped her slender wrist.

Now that he came back to his senses, he realized that what he had done was indeed a bit abrupt.

However, now that he has taken this step, he does not intend to let go.

"Miss Rong, I have something to say to you." Mu Bai's dark eyes stared straight at Rong Zheng, he changed from his usual humility and politeness, and he didn't know if he had been with Shen Chuhan for a long time, so he had some of his influences on him. Temperament, there is a little domineering in the words.

Rong Zheng was taken aback, looking at Mu Bai like this, he couldn't recover.

Mu Bai stood up, let go of her wrist, but gently pressed her shoulder, "Miss Rong, can you sit down and talk?"

Rong Zheng's heart was beating fast, hearing the warm voice in his ears, he sat down in a daze.

Mu Bai still sat down opposite her, his eyes were condensed, and he said every word, "Miss Rong, I like you."

　In fact, Mu Bai's personality is a bit similar to Xiao Hanhan's, both are ruthless characters hahaha~ If Xiao Zhuo is not Rongzheng's brother who wants to compete with him, he probably won't be able to compete~
