My Little Girl (57)

It was Jing Fei’s voice .

“Yes,” Shu Nuan replied, a deep frown on her face .

Jing Fei asked, “Are you tied up too?” 

“Hmm,” Shu Nuan responded, “We have been kidnapped . ”

Then, she heard a rustling noise . Jeng Fei was making it .

A little while later, he reached beside her, and said, “Shu Nuan, hold out your hand . I’ll bite the rope to loosen it, and afterwards you can help untie me . ”

Jing Fei could feel that the rope that bound them was not the thick or strong kind . If they were able to exert enough force, then it might loosen .

Shu Nuan understood his intentions and stretched out her tied-up wrists towards him .

Since neither of them could see, they had difficulty working with each other . It took a lot of time for her wrist to reach his mouth . Jingfei was tense . “I… will try not to bite you . ”

“Alright . ” Shu Nuan was aware that he couldn’t see after all .  

Jing Fei closed his mouth with care, making sure that when he bit down hard, it was on the rope and not her hand .

Jing Fei’s teeth tingled . After many twists and turns, he finally loosened the rope on her wrists . She exerted herself and forced off the rope, then pulled off the cloth on her eyes and untied her feet .  Only then did she help Jing Fei untie his bounds .

Soon afterward, Jing Fei pulled off his own blindfold and looked around . He was stunned at the sight .

Shu Nuan looked around the room and didn’t know where it was, but then she heard Jing Fei mutter, “This is where I live . ”

Shu Nuan was shocked and stared back at him . “This is where you live?”

Jing Fei nodded, still bewildered . “How did we… get brought here after being kidnapped…”

Shu Nuan was in deep thought . Her hands paused on the door and sensed that it was locked .

Jing Fei also tried to push open the door, then tried to open the window, but neither of them would open . He said with a serious expression, “Someone nailed all the doors and windows shut . ”

 Shu Nuan was tight-lipped and a sullen quiet descended around her .

Jing Fei noticed the change in her and comforted her by saying, “Shu Nuan, don’t worry . My aunt will come over early tomorrow morning to deliver me breakfast . I will call her to help open the door . ” 

Shu Nuan gazed at him, still sullen . “Tomorrow morning?” 

Jing Fei understood her concern . “I will lie on the table, and you can sleep on the couch . We will be able to get out when my aunt comes tomorrow . ”

Shu Nuan pursed her lips .

It seemed they had no other choice .

 On their way back, Jing Fei had bought some pastries . They were now used to relieve Shu Nuan’s hunger . However, she ate only a few pieces before thanking him for them .

Jing Fei didn’t force her to eat it all either . He poured her a cup of tea, and asked, “Are you afraid of your uncle?”

“Yes . ”

“I will accompany you tomorrow to explain the matter to him,” Jing Fei a.s.sured .

Shu Nuan shook her head . “No, but thank you . ” 

 After they finished talking, they chose to sleep . Shu Nuan went into the inner chamber of the room, but instead of climbing atop the bed, she sat by the window .

Outside, the sun had long set .  

Just by looking at the sky, Shu Nuan couldn’t tell how late it had gotten already .

In the end, she couldn’t obey the prince to return home before dark .
