Chapter 417: The grand escape

Lian set her glass down and approached the fallen man. "You should have taken the wine," she remarked.

"Quit taunting him and help me with his legs," Mei retorted.

Xiang Yu instructed, "Put him in my bed," before heading to his study to gather the essentials for his escape.

Lian and Mei dragged the unconscious mercenary to the bed. Lian tossed him onto it, and Mei removed his shoes. "Hurry up before they check in again," Lian urged.

Mei shot her a glare. "Do you want to swap?"

"No thanks," Lian replied, placing an identity changing device in the man’s ear. "Then don’t rush me," Mei retorted, finishing up and covering the man with a quilt.

"What about the body pillow?" Lian asked just as Xiang Yu reentered the room.

"No," Xiang Yu replied, his tone resolute. It was a hard no that came from the deepest depths of his soul.

"Master, you are supposed to make it more convincing," Lian protested.

Xiang Yu took away his body pillow, saying, "No need. We will be long gone by the time they realize something’s wrong."

There was no way he was letting another man sleep with his body pillow, which had his boyfriend’s face on it. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

With a possessive glint in his eyes he began meticulously packing it into his travel bag. "It’s coming with me," he declared, his voice leaving no room for argument.

Lian and Mei, who had been observing him with amusement, exchanged giggles. "Master is so cute when he is jealous," Mei whispered to Lian.

"Yeah," Lian agreed, "he really loves his man."

Xiang Yu huffed, a faint blush dusting his cheeks. "Have you seen how good-looking he is? Who can resist such a face?" he retorted, though a hint of pride laced his tone.

The girls chuckled, their mirth only amplifying Xiang Yu’s slight embarrassment. He waved a hand dismissively. "Hurry up and leave first," he instructed, changing the subject. "Remember to meet me at the port."

"Okay," Lian chirped, her usual bubbly self. "We just need to lose the guards Grandpa put on us."

"They’re more like babysitters, to be honest," Mei added, rolling her eyes.

Xiang Yu considered this. "If you can’t shake them off, don’t worry too much about it," he said, a touch of indifference in his voice. "You can stay with your grandpa."

The girls’ smiles vanished, replaced by looks of utter dismay. They instantly began to wail, tears welling up in their eyes. Lian threw her arms around Xiang Yu, pouting dramatically. "Master, you don’t want us anymore!"
