Chapter 249: Escape from the Bustling City (8)
At this moment, Su Luo was shocked to discover that her palms, which were pressed tightly against the carriage shaft, could no longer be pulled away!
The bottom of the carriage was as if it had been coated with superglue, sucking her palms tight; no matter how hard she tried, her palms remained motionless!
In this instant, Su Luo couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat with fear.
What had happened? Earlier, when Ling Feng was fighting the people from the Liu Estate, she could clearly still move her palms, so why couldn't she now?
Moreover, it wasn't just her palms; even her two legs felt as if they had grown into the bottom of the carriage. She couldn't move them at all, let alone try to escape!
Su Luo struggled and twisted continuously, trying to break free, but it was all in vain. At this point, she was truly getting anxious.
In contrast…
Inside the carriage, His Highness Prince Jin was casually flipping through a book.
He seemed to have thought of something amusing; his willow-leaf brows were like dark mountains and his autumn-water eyes like silk, while the smile at the corner of his mouth was dazzling to the eyes.
His well-defined, slender fingers tapped the table rhythmically. His Phoenix eyes slanted upward, and a playful smile flashed within his shimmering gaze.
After a journey of fruitless struggling, the Dragon Scale Horse carried His Highness Prince Jin and Su Luo—who was stuck beneath the carriage—back to Prince Jins Residence.
At the residence gates, His Highness Prince Jin stepped out of the carriage and headed toward the inner courtyard, surrounded by a crowd of people.
At that moment, Su Luo suddenly discovered to her surprise that her ability to move had returned to normal.
Su Luo thought to herself: if she didn't leave now, when would she? Once Nangong discovered her, things would take a turn for the worse.
Su Luo stealthily crept out from under the carriage. Just as she climbed up and was about to make a run for it, His Highness Prince Jin suddenly turned his head, his wicked Phoenix eyes staring intently at that sneaky figure.
“You, are you new?” His Highness Prince Jin's voice was like heavenly music, yet it carried an innate majesty without needing to be angry.
With those words, Su Luo's body instantly froze on the spot. Dammit! How did she get caught at the very last moment? How was she going to get out of this?
However, had Nangong not recognized her? Su Luo looked down. That's right, she was currently dressed in men's clothing; it was only natural that Prince Jin wouldn't recognize her.
“His Highness is asking you a question. Are you a newly recruited servant of the residence?” Seeing that Su Luo was slow to respond, Ling Feng gave her a cold sweep of his eyes, stepped forward, and seized Su Luo to bring her before His Highness Prince Jin.
Ling Feng's speed was like the wind. Because the Rank difference was too great, Su Luo had no time to resist at all.
At this moment, Su Luo's heart was filled with resentment, but no matter how awkward she felt inside, she still maintained a submissive expression on her face.
Su Luo bowed and scraped in fear: “Yes, this lowly one is indeed new, a Handyman in the Woodshed. I just lost my way, and I'll head back right now.” As she spoke, Su Luo intended to grease her feet and slip away.
Unexpectedly, a dark, mysterious light flickered in Prince Jin's black pupils. He said indifferently, “You look quite clever. From now on, stay by my side as a personal attendant.”
Per… personal attendant? Su Luo was instantly dumbfounded.
What was Nangong Liuyun up to? Was he doing this on purpose? Had he seen through her disguise and was intentionally teasing her? Why was she suddenly being asked to be a personal attendant?
Ling Feng glanced at Su Luo with displeasure: “What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and follow him to serve!”
But on second thought, Su Luo felt that she had changed her appearance so much that Nangong Liuyun shouldn't be able to recognize her.
