Chapter 172: My Dear Majesty, Please Let Go (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
As the boy was about to push the door open and walked out, Xia Liang quickly cowered back from the window and looked around for a hideout.

Too bad it was on the top floor. There were no huge pillars or decorative curtains where she could hide herself.

As the moment of the boy was about to come out, Xia Liang chose the latter between jumping off the boat and hiding in the next room.

It was a risky move because she had no idea if the next door was closed or empty. But since they hadn’t discussed anything important, Xia Liang didn’t want to go back without getting anything useful.

At the moment she could open the next door, Xia Liang was pleased that she was lucky enough.

But as soon as she sneaked into the room and closed the door, she felt more regretted and panicked than lucky.

Because she was caught from back by a man into his arms. The man covered her mouth and held tightly around her waist, and lowered his voice,

“Don’t move.”

His voice was low and sexy, very amusing and also tempting.

However, Xia Liang didn’t get the beauty of his voice.

She threw her elbow backward, trying to hit him in the stomach, and also stamped on his feet very hard.

The man didn’t anticipate her fast and strong attack. At the moment he was still dealing with the attack, Xia Liang took the chance to get rid of him.

Xia Liang jerked and stepped back right away, and finally had a rough look at the man who caught her under the dim light from the window.

He was tall and strong, wearing a luxury gown and a silver mask on half of his face, revealing his thin, sexy lips and beautiful chin, and his flirtatious eyes.

The half mask didn’t sabotage his beauty but instead added him a sense of mystery. Besides, his flirtatious eyes made him more tempting.

Xia Liang locked her eyes on the man calmly, but put on guards against him, trying to figure out solutions. His breath was long and deep. Apparently he had powerful internal force. She was not a match if they were in a fight.

The man was interested that how calm Xia Liang could be. He put a finger on his lips, meaning that they should be quiet.

It was a normal and childish posture. But he made it elegant and sexy, amusing to watch.

Xia Liang nodded and also made the same posture as he did, meaning that she wouldn’t say a word.

The man showed no intention to catch or kill her as Xia Liang made a sensible decision. He moved quietly to the other side of the wall and slowly opened a panel. There was a small hole the size of a thumb and a beam of light came out from the other side of the hole.

Xia Liang turned around and saw from the hole that it was the next room on the other side and she could even hear their conversation.

Xia Liang was happy for this. She moved forward, trying to have a good look and listening.

But before she got close, her neck was clenched by the man.
