Chapter 141 How lucky I am to meet you
At dusk, the horizon seemed to be lit up by the setting sun, and the clouds were dyed with colors, which was beautiful and dazzling.
As the setting sun shone, the entire city was tinged with a faint warmth and a brilliant yellow.
The afterglow of the setting sun also gently sprinkled on the two of them, giving them a layer of soft light.
When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and the light in the sky was not as dazzling as hers, but what touched him most was her words at this moment.
At this moment, Ning Ji's heart was filled with strong emotions, his chest was full and swollen, and he held her hand tighter.
How lucky I am to meet you.
He held the person in his arms, "Hehe."
Si He was stunned for a moment. It was rare to see such obvious emotional fluctuations on his face. She smiled lightly and nestled in his arms. The faint scent of medicine lingered at her nose, making her feel calm.
There was no word, but she could feel the strong love and joy.
However, this was on the street, and many people were looking at the two of them. Fortunately, the people of Beisha Country were open-minded, and hugging each other was not considered strange. There were usually more extraordinary things than this.
But Si He quickly withdrew from his arms, not wanting to be watched and feeling embarrassed. "Let's go back."
"Can you scream again?" He looked at her with burning eyes, his eyes fully reflecting her, very seriously, very seriously.
Whenever she saw him looking at her like this, her heart would always beat faster. She raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Husband."
As he finished speaking, the emotion in his eyes became more intense.
Si He looked away uncomfortably and urged him, "Let's go~"
She held his hand and walked into the crowd on the long street.
He let her lead him away, his burning gaze fixed on her, surging emotions surging in his heart, and the only way he could express his emotions was to hold her hand tightly.
Once upon a time, he disdained this kind of ethereal love, thinking that only vulgar people would indulge in love. Until he met her, he slowly discovered that he was also a vulgar person.
When she is happy, he is happy; when she is sad, he is also sad. His joys and sorrows are affected by her, and he wants to give her the best.
The deeper his love, the deeper his greed. Besides spending the rest of their lives together, he also hopes that he can meet her again in the next life.
"Husband, shall we have noodles tonight?" Since the address had changed, she no longer called him cousin, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
He smiled and said, "Okay."
The two of them found a noodle shop that was doing good business and ordered only two bowls of beef noodle soup, nothing else. Since they had eaten too much meat in the past two days, they wanted to eat something lighter.
However, when she took off her veil and hat, her beautiful face was extremely eye-catching even without any makeup, and many men around her looked at her.
Among them, there were many malicious looks. If there hadn't been a man next to her, they would probably have done more than just staring at her.
Moreover, this happened in the city, where the public security was relatively good. If it were outside the city, even if there were men there, they would be easily targeted because they were alone and weak.
Si He lowered her head and ate silently, eating a little faster than usual. It was not because she was afraid or concerned about anything, but she simply didn't like being stared at while eating.
Ning Ji's expression turned a little colder due to the gazes from people around him.
After they finished their meal, they paid the bill and left. On their way back to the inn, someone followed them, but they did not move and just watched from a distance.
Ning Ji and Si He looked slightly cold at the tail following behind them, but they had no intention of taking action. After all, they were on the street.
The two returned to the inn calmly.
The people who followed looked at the inn's sign with more interest in their eyes. This is one of the best inns in the city. The price is not cheap. The guests who can stay here are either rich or noble.
"Brother Hei Niu, these two people don't look like nobles, but they have a lot of money. They are probably the sons and daughters of some wealthy families. They are fat sheep!" A man with shifty eyes stared at the inn not far away and said in a low voice.
The man known as Brother Black Bull was a sturdy man. He stared at the front with great interest. "Indeed, the jewelry that woman is wearing doesn't look cheap at all, and it looks amazing. Wow, if it were sold, it would be worth a lot of money!"
A thinner man nearby said, "What should we do? The city is under strict control, so we can't make too much noise. Besides, this inn is hard to get into. I heard the owner has some connections, so they're not easy to mess with. If we want to take action, we have to wait for them to come out."
Wang Heiniu smacked his lips. "Just keep an eye on them first. We'll talk to them later. I don't believe they'll stay in the inn forever. Skinny Monkey and Mouse, you two take turns watching them tonight, and I'll take over tomorrow morning."
"Okay." The man named Haozi nodded.
Skinny Monkey had no objection to this. He rolled his eyes and smiled slyly, "Hehe~ That girl is really good-looking. We'll sell her after we get tired of her!"
Wang Heiniu and Haozi also laughed obscenely.
……
The next day, Ning Ji and Si He got up early. After having breakfast, they checked out of the hotel, took all their luggage, and drove in a carriage to the house they had bought yesterday.
As soon as the carriage set off, Ning Ji noticed someone following behind. He glanced at him inconspicuously, and the look in his eyes became increasingly obscure.
So he drove the carriage into the alley. Since he was going to take action, it would be better not to attract too much attention.
The carriage slowly moved through the empty alley, and the wheels made a rhythmic creaking sound as they rolled over the bluestone road.
Behind the carriage, the sound of subtle and rapid footsteps continued, intertwined with the sound of the carriage, and was not obvious, but if you listened carefully, you could hear that the footsteps were of varying weights, some heavy and powerful, some light and agile.
Those people always kept a certain distance, like hyenas staring at their prey, following closely, like a shadow.
The curtain of the carriage fluttered in the wind, and Si He's slightly cold face could be vaguely seen.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a small house, and the people following behind huddled in a corner not far away, watching from afar.
After Ning Ji parked the carriage, he first opened the gate of the house, and then pulled the carriage into the front yard of the house and parked it.
The reason why I was able to buy this house so readily yesterday was that I valued the fact that the front yard of this house was spacious enough to park a carriage.
As soon as the carriage entered the house and before the door could be closed, the people following it came in quickly.
After they came in, they looked around the place and closed the door, feeling quite confident.
There were five people in the group, and the leader was Wang Heiniu. They were thugs in the city, and they often committed robbery and human trafficking.
