Chapter 122: Chapter 122 With a Coquettish Tone
At that moment, he gazed slightly downward at her with the corners of his eyes raised, carrying a hint of chilly aloofness.
Behind him was the ink-colored night sky, a lantern hanging high above, and the flying eaves of an ancient-style roof, the whole scene frozen together as if it were a beautifully classical photograph.
Su Yan’s large eyes twinkled, and she seemed somewhat enchanted by the sight.
With such beauty before her, she forgot her dislike of him and all other grievances.
“Can you not go ahead for now?” she said softly.
Chu Yuxiao watched her silently, without saying a word.
Su Yan bit her lip, mustered her courage, and stepped forward to grasp his sleeve, bowing her head slightly and whispering, “Don’t go ahead.”
Chu Yuxiao glanced down at his sleeve that she was holding, his eyes flickering slightly.
“Why?” he asked, waiting for her reason.

If her reason were sufficient, then, he might consider her suggestion…
Why?
Uh, was it because she was worried that the itching powder on him would take effect?
She guessed she would be doomed once it was out in the open.
“I just don’t want you to go,” she thought for a moment and replied.
After speaking, she felt a hint of coquettishness in her words, causing her face to turn a bit red.
How embarrassing, she thought, how could she say something so pretentious.
Chu Yuxiao’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, and a barely noticeable smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
He continued, “Why?”
Ah?

Another why?
“I just don’t want you to go, that’s all,” she looked up at him and replied as if it were obvious.
A trace of disappointment flickered in Chu Yuxiao’s eyes.
It seemed that this was not the answer he was hoping for.
“Let go, stop delaying my time to entertain the guests,” his tone suddenly turned colder.
Su Yan frowned, struggling internally with whether to keep stopping him.
“Um…” She reached into her sleeve, fumbling around, but the antidote just wouldn’t come out.
She really didn’t want to give it to him, yet she couldn’t bear to see him make a fool of himself.
“What are you really trying to do?” Chu Yuxiao looked at her movements dubiously, his tone growing more impatient.
With gritted teeth, Su Yan grabbed his hand and said, “Come with me!”
