Their group, two carriages and a dozen horse-riding entourage, including Qingfeng, Lingqing, and Xiaofeng, soon set off from Shangjing.
Everyone dressed up and traveled as merchants.
As soon as they left the city, they worked hard and arrived at a small town before dark.
But after arriving in the town, Chu Mu seemed to be in no hurry and said he would find an inn in the town to rest for one night and start again tomorrow morning.
On the contrary, Ruan Tang was a little anxious. They didn't have much time and the journey was so long.
We have just been traveling for a day, and everyone is not really tired. We should walk more distance while we still have energy, and take a rest when we are really tired.
But Chu Mu said, "The wounds on my body have not fully healed yet, so I may not be able to bear the pain of traveling all night."
Reluctantly, Ruan Tang had no choice but to agree.
In their group, he is the boss, and whatever he says gets done.
Soon Nanfeng booked an inn, and a group of people moved in.
The conditions in the small town were not as good as those in the capital, but fortunately Chu Mushe had enough money to clean up the room and put on new bedding.
Ruan Tang thought that since she and Tana were just two girls, and the number of guest rooms in the inn was limited, she and Tana would definitely have to live together.
Unexpectedly, she took Tana's hand and was about to go to the room together, but Tana chuckled and took her hand away.
"Sister, I can't sleep well. I'd better live by myself."
Ruan Tang: "..."
Restless sleep? Have it?
Didn't they sleep together during those few days in Jinganhou Mansion?
She knows whether she is peaceful or not.
But before she spoke, Tana winked at her and ran upstairs.
Ruan Tang frowned and looked confused, wondering what kind of medicine Tana was selling in the gourd.
On the side, Chu Mu's lips curved up when he saw Tana leaving.
"The room is enough. You can take one by yourself." Chu Mu walked to her and said softly.
Ruan Tang nodded and said nothing more.
Chu Mu asked the boss to prepare meals. If he wanted to eat in the lobby, he could stay and eat before going back to the room. If he didn't want to eat in the lobby, he could have the waiter deliver it to the room.
Ruan Tang naturally chose to eat in the lobby, together with Qingfeng, Xiaofeng and Ling Qing.
And Chu Mu also went upstairs.
Ruan Tang ignored him and found a table with Xiaofeng and others and sat down.
Soon the waiter brought the food, and when the few of them sat together and feasted, it seemed like they were back in the old days in Suzhou.
Ruan Tang was so happy that he ate two bowls and a lot of vegetables without realizing it.
But during the dinner, Qingfeng didn't know what he was doing. He ate in a hurry and ran away, saying that he had something to do and would come back later.
Ruan Tang knew that no one else could stop him from doing what he wanted to do.
But she knew that he always kept his word and would definitely come back when he said he would come back.
Ruan Tang was too lazy to care about him and continued chatting with Xiaofeng and Ling Qing.
It wasn't until all the food on the table was eaten that they went back to their rooms to rest.
Before Ruan Tang returned to her room, she specifically asked the store owner to find an unused bathtub for her.
The store owner knew that they were a wealthy family and had no shortage of money, so they naturally followed suit.
It didn't take long to find a brand new bathtub and ask the boy to fill the water.
After everything was prepared, Ruan Tang locked the door and took a bath comfortably.
Just when she was enjoying herself, she heard a rustling sound coming from outside.
She broke out in a cold sweat. She hurriedly got out of the tub, picked up the clothes on the chair beside her, and put them on in a panic.
But before she could finish dressing, a dark shadow stretched by candlelight came toward the bathroom from the outside.
Ruan Tang tightly grabbed the clothes in front of him that he had not yet tied up, and then grabbed the wooden spoon beside him to scoop out water.
When the dark figure walked into the bathroom, she took a wooden spoon and threw it at the dark figure, and then shouted loudly.
But not only did her wooden spoon not hit the shadow, she was also pulled into his arms by the shadow and covered her mouth.
Ruan Tang resisted instinctively and opened his mouth to bite his hand covering his mouth.
"It's me." A cold and familiar voice came from above his head.
Ruan Tang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head.
It wasn't anyone but Chu Mu.
Ruan Tang breathed a sigh of relief, slapped his hand off his mouth, and then said angrily: "Are you sick? Are you trying to scare me to death when you sneak in like this?"
She was really frightened by him, Ruan Tang scolded him regardless, without any concern that he was a prince.
It was originally a small town, so the safety factor was naturally not as good as that of the capital city. She thought a little thief had sneaked in.
It's fine if it's to rob money, but I'm taking a bath. What if a thief suddenly gets the idea and robs sex too?
In the attack just now, she had already thought of a way to die that she would rather die than surrender.
I didn’t expect it to be this guy!
It was the first time that Chu Mu was scolded by Ruan Tang without caring about his identity. Not only did he not feel angry, but he felt a strange and warm feeling well up in his heart.
But he was also a little apologetic. He really didn't expect to scare her.
"I wanted to give you a surprise, so I sneaked in quietly."
"Are you surprised? Are you frightened?"
Ruan Tang pushed him away angrily, then turned her back to him and began to fasten the belt that she had not yet fastened.
Then she ignored him and walked out of the bathroom directly.
Then he entered the bedroom, went directly to bed, and got into bed.
Chu Mu followed her out and sat down beside her bed.
"Scared you? I didn't mean it."
Ruan Tang snorted and still ignored him.
"Okay, it's my fault. I apologize to you. Get up. Your hair is still wet. I will help you wipe it."
With that said, Chu Mu stood up, walked to the clothes rack, took out a dry cotton handkerchief, and walked back to the bed.
Ruan Tang was still lying down with his back to him, showing no intention of getting up.
Chu Mu had no choice but to bend down and take her out of the bed, sit her down in front of him, then pick up a cotton handkerchief and wrap it around her damp hair.
The two sat facing each other, and his movements were gentle and patient.
Ruan Tang's anger gradually disappeared under his gentle movements.
She couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at his face.
The man was wiping her hair seriously. Her eyes fell on his face, but he didn't even raise his eyes.
The two of them were so close that even if the candlelight in the room was dim, she could clearly see his long eyelashes and delicate skin.
She always knew he was good looking.
But except for the first time when she took him captive, she carefully looked at his appearance. After that, she never observed him so carefully again.
But she found that simply admiring his beauty like this was really easy to get addicted to.
"Is this king good-looking?" His hoarse and low voice reached my ears.
Ruan Tang blushed and quickly looked away.
But the next second, he raised his eyes, and their eyes suddenly met.
She had just taken a bath, and the scent of soap still remained on her body, and this scent of soap mixed with her unique aroma, exuding a unique and pleasant smell.
Just now in the bathroom, when he saw her with wet hair and disheveled clothes, he felt extremely hot.
He endured it and wiped her hair.
Now that the two of them were so close, the smell of her body lingered in his breath from time to time, tempting him.
She still dared to stare at him without blinking, even if he wanted to spare her, he might not be able to?
