Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 222 His Tenderness

The Zhao family members who were secretly watching the inn naturally figured out what was going on tonight.

Although the men sent by Ou Yuanxiong were strangers and rarely appeared in public, the Zhao family had their own channels to obtain information.

After learning that those people were from the Ou family, they roughly guessed what was going on.

The method of shifting the blame is too crude. You think it is perfect, but do you think they are fools?

This is a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken.

They had originally planned to find an opportunity to take action, but fortunately they did not act rashly. That man and woman were really difficult to deal with.

What happened tonight can be considered as a warning to them. It seems that we need to take a long-term view.

Many people did not sleep well that night.

However, Si He slept soundly and when she woke up, it was already bright outside.

The windows of the guest room were closed, and light shone through the thin window paper, illuminating the room a little, but the room was still dim.

The room was quiet. When she opened her eyes, she felt a warm breath on her forehead. Ning Ji held her in his arms so tightly that she could smell his scent on her nose.

She moved slightly and looked up at him. In the dim light, his handsome face came into view.

The next moment, he opened his eyes, a smile on his handsome face, "Did you sleep well?"

His voice was low and gentle, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Well, good morning, husband." She responded, their faces were very close, and they could smell each other's scent in their breath.

The smile on his face deepened a little, and then he kissed her on the forehead, "Good morning, He He."

She also smiled and nestled lazily in his arms. She was awake, but still a little reluctant to fall asleep.

"What time is it now?" She looked towards the window. It was bright outside, but there was no warm yellow sunlight.

"If you want to sleep, sleep a little longer. It's okay to get up later." He hugged her with one hand and stroked her smooth black hair with the other hand, then pushed the hair on her forehead behind her ears.

She yawned lazily and said, "Then lie down for a while and then get up."

"Okay." His hand gently stroked her back.

After she regained consciousness, she recalled what happened last night and couldn't help asking, "Husband, do you know who came last night?"

She knew that the Zhao family was watching secretly, and there was no telling when they would not be able to resist taking action. However, the Zhao family's mortal enemy came to their house yesterday, so who knew if they would have other intentions?

Now that she has experienced more things, she has seen more of the evil side of human nature and has gradually developed the habit of thinking the worst of everyone. After all, in this chaotic world, there are not many good people.

However, it is hard to say whether it is some other little thief who wants to take advantage of them. Of course, she thinks this possibility is not very high.

Ning Ji said, "Perhaps it was sent by someone named Ou."

When he went out last night, he paid attention to the people who were following him. It was obvious that the people who came were not sent by them.

In this city, apart from these two families, no one else should be targeting them.

Hearing this, Si He raised her head and looked at him, curiously asking, "What are they planning?"

Although she had such a guess, she was still a little surprised to hear Ning Ji say this.

The person who came to invite us yesterday was quite polite and didn't seem hostile. So, did he come last night to investigate them further? Or was it...

She frowned slightly, thinking back to the cold gaze of the man she saw at the window last night. Perhaps she really underestimated human nature.

He raised his hand and gently stroked her furrowed brow. His dark eyes stared at her with a faint smile. In a low, gentle voice, he said, "No matter what they plan to do, we will leave the city, retrieve our things, and leave. We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either."

He did hold back last night and didn't kill anyone, but next time, he wouldn't let it go so easily.

They are just local merchants.

"Yeah." After hearing him say that, her frown relaxed. "By the way, did you use the joker against them last night?"

She was certain in her words, but still asked him. Thinking of what happened last night, her eyes lit up slightly, and now she was no longer sleepy.

"Yeah." Ning Ji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then leaned over and kissed her lips.

Si He's eyes opened wider. She was itching to ask a question about the joker, but he interrupted her!

She supported his chest with her hands, stepped back slightly, avoided his kiss, and asked curiously: "When did you make the joker?"

He said, "Kiss me and I'll tell you."

His eyes were filled with doting, and his brows were particularly gentle.

His warmth was only given to her.

Si He glared at him coquettishly, but still lowered her head and kissed his lips.

Slightly cool lips, soft.

Ning Ji's eyes darkened, and he immediately held the back of her head, deepening the kiss, absorbing the air from her lips, and lingering with her.

Si He's body softened and she fell on him, but the next moment, he turned over, pressed her under him, held her in his arms, and bent down to kiss her.

His kiss was lingering, yet with a hint of dominance and strength. Just when he had her carried away by the kiss, her stomach suddenly made a gurgling sound, breaking the beauty of the moment.

Ning Ji paused, breathing slightly faster, looking at her deeply, and chuckled softly, "Are you hungry?"

Si He's cheeks flushed slightly, "Yeah."

He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth again, "Then get up first. What do you want to eat later?"

"It's time to eat noodles."

"it is good."

As he spoke, he helped her up and then got out of bed to get her clothes.

Si He got up from the bed, but she still hadn't forgotten the question. As she put on her coat, she said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

He smiled and told her about the joker.

It turned out that the joker card was made by him when he was in the bandit's lair. There were only two of them, and last night was the first time he used them outside.

He also captured some ghosts and evil spirits in Zhuangjia Town. He had planned to replace them with better ones, but he had not done so yet.

Although the joker card is evil and unorthodox, it can have a good effect if used properly.

Of course, his purpose of capturing ghosts and evil spirits in Zhuangjia Town was not to make ghost cards, the ghost cards were just a by-product.

Si He looked at the joker card Ning Ji handed her, full of curiosity, and examined it carefully.

This ghost card is made of black jade and looks like an ordinary jade pendant. It is engraved with complex runes. It looks very mysterious, but it feels cold to the touch. When she carefully senses it, she can feel the cold air in this ghost card.

Although the aura was somewhat intimidating, for some reason, she did not feel any discomfort.

She thought about it carefully and realized that the ghost card that Zhao Laoxie carried with him was not this color. It seemed to be the color of an ordinary jade pendant, which was bluish-white. If it were an ordinary person, they might think it was just an ordinary jade pendant.
