Hearing these words, Jiang Peihuan distinctly felt the temperature around Xiao Nanye drop instantly.
Worried that the man might lose control and take action right away, Jiang Peihuan quickly grabbed his hand, then lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Nanye, hold back."
To the others, it seemed like Jiang Peihuan was scared.
As she spoke, her breath washed over Xiao Nanye's ear, and he could even distinctly smell her faint fragrance.
The three of them didn't say anything but cooperatively dismounted from the carriage.
As Jiang Peihuan had anticipated, the group led them up the mountain.
However, the path they took was different from the one Jiang Peihuan had seen earlier; it was a much more concealed route.
Jiang Peihuan quietly memorized the path and followed along.
