The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Chapter 127 My Heart Aches for You

Jing Anle opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

"I almost forgot the important matter." Seeing Jing Anle like this, Xiao Heng couldn't bear to tease her any longer. He slapped his forehead, looking annoyed.

Hmm? Xiao Heng stood up and whispered to Jing Anle, "Wait for me." Then he flew out of the window again.

Jing Anle gazed out the window, wondering what Xiao Heng was up to.

A moment later, Xiao Heng turned around and flew back, carrying an object in his hand.

"What is this?" The night was dark, and although there was a bright moon, Jing Anle couldn't see what it was for a moment, so he asked.

Xiao Heng smiled without saying a word, then lowered his head, picked up the thing in his hand, and brought it to Jing Anle. Inside was something furry that was moving around.

"rabbit!"

Jing Anle exclaimed in surprise, her eyes lighting up instantly.

"This is for you." Upon seeing this, Xiao Heng's smile widened, knowing that the gift was well-chosen.

Jing Anle ignored his question and instead asked, "Where did you find this?"

As Xiao Heng carefully took the rabbit out of the cage, he said, "I hunted this rabbit at the hunting grounds yesterday. As soon as I saw it, I wanted to give it to you. I'm sure you'll like it."

What he didn't say was that the rabbit was very wild and clever; it was easy to shoot, but difficult to capture alive.

"Look!" Xiao Heng actually placed the rabbit directly in her arms, but she had an injury on her foot and couldn't dodge it.

The rabbit was small, and its fur felt very nice to touch.

"You..." Jing Anle wanted to return it to him, but surprisingly, the rabbit just stayed obediently in Jing Anle's arms without moving. Jing Anle couldn't help but reach out and stroke it.

Jing Anle was extremely beautiful, always dressed in her finest attire, stunning yet aloof. The way she stroked the rabbit resembled Chang'e from the moon palace, possessing a unique gentleness. Xiao Heng was momentarily stunned, but blurted out, "Well? I told you you liked it!"

"When did I say I wanted it?" she said, and was about to return the rabbit to Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng didn't care about all that, and simply said, "Anyway, the rabbit has already chosen its master, you can't deny it!"

As he spoke, Xiao Heng suddenly lowered his body, bringing his face close to Jing Anle's. At this moment, the two were only inches apart. Jing Anle was startled by his sudden action, and her heart pounded rapidly.

Jing Anle immediately understood; he wasn't talking about rabbits at all, he was clearly implying that Jing Anle was now attached to him.

“Boring.” Jing Anle turned her head to the side, no longer looking at Xiao Heng.

Jing Anle was unaware of how alluring she looked. In the past, she always seemed aloof and superior, but today she felt vibrant, with the shyness and helplessness of a young girl.

"In short, you understand my feelings," Xiao Heng whispered in Jing Anle's ear.

Jing Anle felt inexplicably annoyed and reached out to push Xiao Heng away, but Xiao Heng beat him to it. He quickly stepped back, leaned against the pillar behind him, clasped his hands together, and laughed, "You should look like this. It looks so good. Why do you always have such a cold face?"

The young man was handsome and dashing. A gentle breeze caressed his temples; what a refined gentleman he was.

"What? Are you stunned?"

Seeing Jing Anle in a daze, Xiao Heng spoke up.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Jing Anle asked coldly, no longer wanting to talk to him.

Xiao Heng paused, his posture relaxing. "You really don't want me to stay here?"

"If you don't leave, I'll call for help."

Xiao Heng sighed and walked up to Jing Anle, his figure enveloping Jing Anle in darkness.

"what are you up to?"

Xiao Heng remained silent, but bent down and picked up Jing Anle. Jing Anle felt a jolt and immediately hugged the rabbit tightly in her arms. Xiao Heng took in this sight and couldn't help but smile.

The two were very close, and Jing Anle continued to struggle.

"do not move."

Jing Anle ignored him completely and continued to struggle.

"If you want me to leave, then listen to me." Xiao Heng's voice was both cold and gentle, seemingly both suppressing and coaxing.

These words worked, and Jing Anle immediately quieted down obediently.

Xiao Heng sighed inwardly and walked directly to the bed. He was extremely tall, and he lifted Jing Anle's drooping clothes, making it seem as if she were dancing in the air. Xiao Heng gently placed Jing Anle on the bed and looked down at her.

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Jing Anle said, "You can leave now."

"What a ruthless beauty." There was a moment of silence in the air before Xiao Heng continued, "But I like it."

Jing Anle was stunned for a moment and looked up at Xiao Heng.

"I said I like you, Jing Anle, I, Xiao Heng, am in love with you."

Although Xiao Heng had expressed his attitude many times before, this was the first time he had formally said the word "like".

The two stared at each other, one standing and one sitting, and for a moment it seemed as if time had stood still.

“Xiao Heng…” Jing Anle murmured.

"I'm here."

Xiao Heng stared expectantly at Jing Anle, unwilling to look away.

"It's time for you to go."

A moment of disappointment flashed in Xiao Heng's eyes, and the sparkle in his eyes vanished in an instant. He gave a soft hum and took out the box of ointment from his pocket, placing it in Jing Anle's hand.

"Three times a day, remember to have the palace maids apply the medicine for you."

After saying that, she turned and walked to the window. For some reason, Jing Anle felt an indescribable emotion. She felt a tightness in her chest, but she just looked down at the ointment and didn't look at Xiao Heng's back.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in Jing Anle's ears again, "I told you, the rabbit has already chosen its master, you can't deny it!"

Hmm? Looking up, she saw Xiao Heng smiling unrestrainedly at her. Jing Anle felt a flutter in her heart, and a smile appeared on her lips that she herself did not even notice.

At that moment, no one noticed that a dark figure had quietly disappeared outside the door.
