I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law - Chapter 585
Mu Mingtang blushed in the dark, “It’s all your fault. What on Earth are you doing here?”
She couldn’t see his face clearly in the dark, but Xie Xuanchen’s eyes seemed to glow, locking her into his gaze tightly as if he was trying to get a peek of her heart, “I’m leaving.”
Stunned, Mu Mingtang wasn’t able to react, “What?”
“Today, my father and Uncle Guo led the army to set off. I want to go with them.”
Mu Mingtang frowned when she heard it: “But didn’t Madam Yin and General Xie not allow you to go? You are only 14…You’re not even 15 years old, it’s very dangerous to go to war.”
Xie Xuanchen didn’t care, “What does it matter? Since they didn’t bring me along, I will chase after them myself.”
“You…” Mu Mingtang realized that her voice was too loud, so she had to lower her volume as she said angrily, “You are causing trouble!”
Xie Xuanchen looked at her. At this time, there was no light in the house, leaving only the moonlight dimly shining through the window screens. Xie Xuanchen suddenly lowered his head, held the back of Mu Mingtang and kissed her hard.
At this time, Xie Xuanchen was still a 14-year-old boy. Although he had been hanging out with soldiers and had a lot of hooliganistic problems, this was the first time he ever did this sort of thing. He didn’t know that kissing involved prying open the teeth, but he just utilised his instinct to kiss those red lips strongly.
Mu Mingtang was completely stunned. After all, she was a reincarnated person. She knew which behaviors were that of childhood sweethearts and which were done as a romantic act between men and women. For example, what was happening now was definitely not something that familiar male and female playmates could do.
He kept kissing her for a good while before reluctantly letting go. Even so,Mu Mingtang still looked like she hadn’t reacted to what just happened. He didn’t care about her dazed expressions and touched her head, still staring at her, “Wait for me to return.”
He stood up, opened the window again and jumped out. Mu Mingtang suddenly realised that he was going to leave and was frightened. She hurriedly chased him to the window,”You’re just messing around! If you run away from home like this, what will you do if you encounter danger on the way there? Besides, the swords on the battlefield are blind to all. You’re only 14, isn’t it a bad idea to be on the battlefield?”
“I will be fine,” Xie Xuanchen was already standing outside the window. He saw that Mu Mingtang still had the half-embroidered handkerchief tied on her belt, so he took it from her without any hesitation, “Consider this your farewell gift for me; I’ll take it. You are not allowed to see other men, let alone Xie Xuanji, so just be patient and wait until I return.”
Mu Mingtang didn’t have time to argue with him about the handkerchief now. She wanted to persuade him to not endanger himself once more, but Xie Xuanchen kissed her gently through the window, licking her lips faintly before leaving. Mu Mingtang suddenly gulped down the words that she wanted to say. By the time she came to her senses, Xie Xuanchen was already sitting on the wall and waving to her before he jumped down.
The sound of horse hooves was faintly heard outside the wall. Mu Mingtang knew that he would leave tonight.
He was simply outrageous. He dared to chase an entire army with only one being, one horse and one sword. Mu Mingtang leaned against the window and looked at the empty wall with worry.
