上一页 返回目录 下一页
- The moon hung high in the sky， casting a silver glow over the opulent garden of the Han family mansion. Lanterns swayed gently in the breeze， casting flickering shadows on the ground. The air was filled with the fragrant scent of blooming jasmine， mingling with the distant strains of a pipa being played by a skilled musician. The grand banquet hosted by the Han family was in full swing， and the courtyard was filled with the chatter and laughter of the elite of the city.
Sukie， dressed in an exquisite silk gown that shimmered in the moonlight， stood by a cherry blossom tree. Her heart was a storm of emotions. She watched as guests milled about， her eyes occasionally drifting to her brother， Han Fengling. He was talking to a group of men， his expression calm and composed， but every so often， his eyes would seek her out， filled with an unspoken emotion.
As the evening wore on， Sukie found herself increasingly aware of Han Fengling，s presence. She could feel his gaze on her， even when she wasn，t looking directly at him. Their interactions， subtle and laden with meaning， had not gone unnoticed by the other guests. Murmurs and whispers followed them wherever they went， but Sukie paid them no mind. Her heart was too full， too conflicted.
＂Miss Han， you look exquisite tonight，＂ a familiar， icy voice interrupted her thoughts. Sukie turned to find herself face－to－face with Xie Tianxie， the powerful and malevolent boss of the region. His eyes were dark and intense， a predatory smile playing on his lips.
Sukie forced a polite smile. ＂Thank you， Lord Xie. Your presence graces our humble banquet.＂
Xie Tianxie stepped closer， his gaze never leaving hers. ＂I，ve been watching you all evening， Miss Han. You are truly the most beautiful flower in this garden. It would be a shame if such a flower were to wither away in the care of someone unworthy.＂
Sukie，s heart pounded in her chest. She could sense the danger lurking behind his words. ＂I am flattered by your attention， Lord Xie， but I assure you， my brother and my family take excellent care of me.＂
Xie Tianxie，s smile widened， but his eyes remained cold. ＂Ah， yes， your brother. He seems quite... protective of you. Almost possessive， one might say.＂
Before Sukie could respond， Han Fengling appeared at her side， his expression calm but his eyes flashing with anger. ＂Lord Xie， I believe my sister has entertained you long enough. If you would excuse us.＂
Xie Tianxie，s gaze shifted to Han Fengling， his smile never wavering. ＂Of course， Young Master Han. It would not do to overstay my welcome.＂ He bowed slightly， but his eyes lingered on Sukie a moment longer before he turned and walked away.
Han Fengling gently took Sukie，s arm， leading her away from the crowd. ＂Are you alright?＂ he asked， his voice low and filled with concern.
Sukie nodded， her heart still racing. ＂Yes， I，m fine. Thank you.＂
They walked in silence for a moment， the night air cool against their skin. The garden was quieter now， the sounds of the banquet fading into the background.
Han Fengling stopped by a small pond， the water reflecting the moonlight. He turned to face Sukie， his eyes searching hers. ＂You should be careful around Xie Tianxie. He，s dangerous.＂
Sukie looked down at the water， her reflection rippling. ＂I know. But it，s not just him I，m worried about.＂
Han Fengling frowned. ＂What do you mean?＂
She took a deep breath， struggling to find the right words. ＂Fengling， I，ve been feeling... strange lately. About us. About you.＂
His frown deepened， but he didn，t interrupt her.
＂I know we，re supposed to be siblings in this world， but sometimes I feel like there，s something more between us，＂ she continued， her voice trembling. ＂I don，t know if it，s just me or if you feel it too， but I can，t ignore it anymore.＂
Han Fengling，s expression softened， and he reached out to gently cup her face in his hand. ＂Sukie， I... I feel it too. But it，s complicated. We，re living in a world that has its own rules and expectations. And even if we，re not truly related， others believe we are.＂
Tears welled up in Sukie，s eyes. ＂But what about what we feel? Shouldn，t that matter?＂
Han Fengling pulled her into a tight embrace， his voice breaking. ＂It matters to me， Sukie. It matters more than anything. But we have to be careful. There are people who would use our feelings against us.＂
She clung to him， her heart aching. ＂I don，t care what people think. I just want to be with you.＂
He held her for a long moment， then pulled back slightly to look into her eyes. ＂I want that too， Sukie. But we have to be smart about this. We can，t let our emotions cloud our judgment.＂
Before she could respond， the sound of footsteps approaching made them both tense. They turned to see a servant bowing deeply. ＂Young Master Han， Miss Han， Lord Xie requests your presence.＂
Han Fengling，s jaw tightened， but he nodded. ＂We，ll be right there.＂
As they walked back to the banquet， Sukie，s mind raced. She knew their feelings for each other were real， but the obstacles they faced seemed insurmountable. Xie Tianxie was a powerful enemy， and their relationship was bound to attract unwanted attention.
Back at the banquet， Xie Tianxie stood at the center of the courtyard， his eyes gleaming with malice. ＂Ah， there you are，＂ he said smoothly. ＂I was just telling your guests how fortunate they are to have such a beautiful and talented hostess.＂
Sukie forced a smile， but her heart was heavy. She could feel Han Fengling，s protective presence beside her， a constant reminder that they were in this together.
The rest of the evening passed in a blur. Sukie exchanged pleasantries with the guests， her mind only half on the conversations. She could feel Xie Tianxie，s eyes on her， his presence a constant， unsettling reminder of the danger they faced.
As the banquet drew to a close， Han Fengling guided her to a quieter corner of the garden. ＂We need to talk，＂ he said softly.
She nodded， her heart pounding. ＂I know.＂
He took a deep breath， his eyes filled with determination. ＂Sukie， I can，t pretend that our feelings don，t exist. But we have to be careful. Xie Tianxie is watching us， and he，s not the only one. We need to find a way to protect ourselves and our family.＂
She looked up at him， her eyes filled with tears. ＂What do we do?＂
He pulled her into another embrace， his voice gentle but firm. ＂We stay strong. We stay together. And we fight for what we believe in.＂
As they stood there， holding each other under the moonlight， Sukie felt a sense of hope. It wouldn，t be easy， but she knew they could face whatever challenges came their way， as long as they had each other.
Days turned into weeks， and the tension between Sukie and Han Fengling only grew stronger. They spent more time together， their bond deepening with each passing day. They practiced their martial arts together， trained in strategy， and studied the workings of their family business. Every stolen glance， every brush of their hands， every shared smile was a silent promise of their commitment to each other.
One evening， as the sun set in a blaze of orange and pink， they found themselves alone in the garden once more. Sukie sat on a stone bench， watching the koi fish swim lazily in the pond. Han Fengling approached， his footsteps soft on the gravel path.
＂Sukie，＂ he said softly， sitting beside her. ＂I，ve been thinking.＂
She turned to him， her eyes searching his. ＂About what?＂
＂About us. About our future.＂ He took her hand in his， his touch warm and reassuring. ＂We can，t keep hiding our feelings. It，s not fair to either of us.＂
Sukie nodded， her heart aching with the weight of their unspoken love. ＂But what can we do? If people find out...＂
＂We，ll deal with it，＂ he said firmly. ＂Together. I，ve made arrangements to leave this place. We can start over somewhere new， where no one knows us.＂
Her eyes widened in surprise. ＂You mean... leave everything behind?＂
He nodded. ＂Yes. It，s the only way we can truly be together. But we have to act fast. Xie Tianxie is becoming more suspicious， and it，s only a matter of time before he makes his move.＂
Tears filled Sukie，s eyes as she realized the magnitude of what he was proposing. ＂I don，t want to lose you， Fengling. But I don，t want to put our family in danger either.＂
He squeezed her hand， his eyes filled with determination. ＂Our family will be safe. I，ve made sure of it. But you and I... we deserve a chance at happiness.＂
She took a deep breath， her heart pounding with a mix of fear and hope. ＂When do we leave?＂
＂Tomorrow night，＂ he said softly. ＂I，ll have everything ready. All you need to do is trust me.＂
Sukie looked into his eyes， seeing the love and determination there. She knew that whatever challenges lay ahead， they would face them together. ＂I trust you，＂ she whispered.
The next day passed in a blur of preparation and secrecy. Han Fengling made arrangements with trusted allies， ensuring that their departure would go unnoticed. Suk
ie packed a few precious belongings， her heart heavy with the knowledge that she was leaving behind the life she had known.
As night fell， they met in the garden， their hearts pounding with anticipation. Han Fengling took her hand， his grip firm and reassuring. ＂Are you ready?＂ he asked softly.
She nodded， her eyes filled with determination. ＂Yes. Let，s go.＂
They moved silently through the shadows， slipping past guards and servants who were unaware of their plans. As they reached the edge of the estate， a sense of freedom washed over them. They were leaving behind a world of danger and deception， stepping into the unknown with nothing but their love to guide them.
But just as they were about to cross the threshold， a voice rang out in the darkness. ＂Going somewhere?＂
Sukie，s heart skipped a beat as Xie Tianxie stepped into view， his eyes gleaming with triumph. ＂Did you really think you could escape me?＂ he sneered.
Han Fengling stepped protectively in front of Sukie， his expression fierce. ＂We，re leaving， Xie Tianxie. And there，s nothing you can do to stop us.＂
Xie Tianxie laughed， a cold， menacing sound. ＂Oh， but there is. You see， I，ve been watching you two. Your little love affair has not gone unnoticed. And now， you will pay the price for your betrayal.＂
Before they could react， Xie Tianxie drew his sword， the blade glinting in the moonlight. Han Fengling pushed Sukie behind him， drawing his own weapon. ＂Run， Sukie！＂ he shouted. ＂I，ll hold him off！＂
Sukie，s heart raced with fear and determination. She couldn，t leave Han Fengling to face Xie Tianxie alone. She had to fight， to stand by his side. She drew her own dagger， her hands steady despite the terror in her heart.
Xie Tianxie lunged at them， his movements swift and deadly. Han Fengling met him head－on， their swords clashing in a shower of sparks. Sukie watched in horror as the two men fought， their skills evenly matched. She knew she had to do something， but she couldn，t see an opening.
As the battle raged on， Sukie saw her chance. Xie Tianxie was focused on Han Fengling， his back turned to her. She took a deep breath， summoning all her courage， and lunged forward， aiming for his unprotected side.
The dagger struck true， and Xie Tianxie let out a roar of pain. He staggered back， clutching his side， his eyes filled with fury. ＂You little bitch！＂ he snarled.
Han Fengling seized the opportunity， delivering a powerful blow that sent Xie Tianxie crashing to the ground. He stood over the fallen man， his chest heaving with exertion. ＂This is for all the pain you，ve caused，＂ he said coldly， before driving his sword into Xie Tianxie，s heart.
Sukie watched， her breath coming in short gasps， as the life drained from Xie Tianxie，s eyes. She felt a mix of relief and horror， knowing that they had taken a life to protect their own.
Han Fengling turned to her， his eyes filled with concern. ＂Are you alright?＂
She nodded， tears streaming down her face. ＂Yes. But what now?＂
He took her hand， his grip firm and reassuring. ＂Now， we leave this place. Together.＂
They moved quickly， leaving the scene of the battle behind. As they slipped into the night， Sukie felt a sense of hope and determination. They had faced their greatest enemy and emerged victorious. Now， they had a chance to build a new life together， free from the shadows of the past.
As the first light of dawn broke on the horizon， Sukie and Han Fengling stood on a hill overlooking the city. They held each other close， their hearts filled with a sense of possibility. The road ahead would not be easy， but they knew that as long as they had each other， they could face any challenge.
And so， hand in hand， they stepped into the future， ready to write the next chapter of their story. - 没看完？将本书加入收藏我是会员，将本章节放入书签复制本书地址，推荐给好友获取积分章节错误？点此举报
