NovelEnglish239 Kidnapped (Part 1)
“The two of you didn’t even ask me which family I was talking about, and you just said you don’t know…”
“You’re overthinking things.” Zhao Zhan’s eyes were cold, and he discreetly revealed the blade tied to his wrist. “We don’t have time to waste with you.”
“Master!”
The Lin family servants looked warily at Zhao Zhan when they saw the blade appearing in front of Lin Chenzhi.
“Forget it. Let’s move the carriage back a little and let this young man pass.” Lin Chenzhi cupped his fists again and remained polite. “Perhaps I’ll meet you in the mountain gaze in the future. If I need any help, I hope you can lend me a hand.”
Zhao Zhan’s face was cold. With a slip of his sleeve, he held the dagger in his hand.
When Lin Chenzhi returned to the carriage, the Lin family servant glared at the two of them indignantly before driving the carriage back.

“Yeah,” Zhao Zhan kept the dagger and drove the carriage out of Lin Chenzhi’s sight. He handed the reins to Fang Tianliu and turned to the curtain. “Jiaojiao, does it still hurt?” he asked anxiously.
“Xiangjun has applied medicine for me.” Yue Jiaojiao lifted the curtain to reveal her delicate face. The red and swollen patch on her forehead was particularly obvious on her fair face.
The red blood vessels at the edge of the swelling looked a little hideous.
Zhao Zhan reached out to touch her, but he was afraid that the roughness of his fingertips would make her hurt even more. His fingertips froze in the air. “When we reach Huai County, I’ll go to the clinic and find a doctor.”
“Doctor Sun’s medical skills should be better than most doctors. After applying the medicine, it’s cool and much better.”
These words were said without any context, but Zhao Zhan understood.
The person they had just met was the master of the Lin family.
“It’s cold outside. It’s freezing.” Zhao Zhan cupped Yue Jiaojiao’s face in his hands and stood in front of her, shielding her. “Do you want to lie down in the carriage for a while?”
His hands were wide and large.
Yue Jiaojiao’s face looked even more petite and delicate in his rough palm. She blinked her eyes and laughed. “Okay.”
Zhao Zhan moved his hand away and shielded her head, afraid that she would bump into it.
“Are you lying down?”
“I am.”
After making sure that she was lying down properly in the carriage, Zhao Zhan took the reins from Fang Tianliu’s hands. “Let me do it.”
Fang Tianfeng immediately wrapped his cloak tightly around him, trembling. He shifted behind Zhao Zhan and said, “Zhao Zhan, it’s still warmer behind you.”
Zhao Zhan had been listening to Fang Tianliu’s nagging all the way to Huai County.
The carriage came to a stop, and Fang Tianliu impatiently jumped out of the carriage. “Xiangjun, we’re here. Let me help you down.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLi Xiangjun parted the curtain and glanced at his petite figure. Then, she nimbly jumped down from the other side of the carriage. “Jiaojiao is still inside.”
“Zhao Zhan.”
Yue Jiaojiao had just lifted the curtain when she shivered from the cold wind blowing against her face. Zhao Zhan nimbly carried her down from the carriage and wrapped her tightly in his large cloak. He used both hands to warm her ears and said, “We’re at the entrance of the clinic. Let’s go in and take a look at your injury.”
“Xiangjun, the injury on your wrist should also be seen by a doctor. After we’re done, we will go eat and rest for a while before we can go see the lanterns.”
The group of four stayed in the Medical Hall for less than two hours before they went to the Huai Jing Inn. When Manager Zhou saw them, he hurriedly greeted them and asked the waiter to prepare a table of good wine and food to entertain them.
The Lantern Festival in Huai County was very lively.
As night fell, Zhao Zhan held Yue Jiaojiao’s hand and carefully protected her. Fang Tianfeng, who was beside them, looked at Li Xiangjun with wide eyes. He wanted to reach out but did not dare to.
At this time of the year, the people were lively and there were many beautiful people walking side by side on the streets.
Both sides of Huai County’s streets were filled with small stalls. The lanterns on each stall were different, and even the dim sky lit up a lot.
“Fang Tianliu!”
Fang Tianliu, who was distracted by Li Xiangjun beauty, almost tripped and fell. Li Xiangjun anxiously called out and grabbed his wrist. “Be careful.”
“Xiangjun…”
Fang Tianliu’s eyes lit up and he carefully glanced at Li Xiangjun’s hand that was holding his wrist. He couldn’t hide the joy in his heart and he couldn’t help but smile. “I’m fine.”
