Chapter 927: Mutual Affection
It's Li Jian Pai who is completely powerless and being beaten at will."Cloud Five, Cloud Six, come over here." When Cloud One and the others arrived, An Xue Tang told Cloud Five and Cloud Six, who ha...Ning'er was speechless. Such shameless words could only be uttered so matter-of-factly by Yun Liu.
But she was very clear that no matter what he did, her heart couldn't continue to fall for him.
So she swung her arm hard, trying to shake him loose, but Yunliu seemed to know what she was doing. The harder she swung, the tighter his grip on her arm became.
Ning'er frowned, her voice low and angry as she growled, "Yunliu, let me go."
Ning'er's voice was very cold, but who was Yunliu He couldn't just give up so easily.
Especially, Yunliu has a very capable assistant. One can see An Xue Tang walking in the front suddenly turning back and saying to Ning'er:
"Ning'er, this candied hawthorn is really delicious. Try it. Your prince won't let me have a second one, if you don't eat it, it'll go to waste."
"..."
Ning'er was a bit helpless, but even their own princess had said so, she couldn't refuse.
In the end, I could only take it from Yunliu.
She had no appetite, she just wanted to get rid of this hot potato in her hands as quickly as possible.
So, she didn't care about her image anymore. She continued to follow An Xue Tang behind her, while expressionlessly stuffing candied fruit on a stick into her mouth.
One bite at a time, but precisely because of this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but be smeared with a bit of sugar.
She didn't realize it herself, but Yunliu suddenly acted, directly using her hand to wipe it away for her.
Ning'er stopped in her tracks. The temperature of his fingertips felt as if it could pierce straight into her heart, stirring up an inexplicable feeling within her.
Coming back to her senses, she suddenly took two steps to the side, avoiding Yunliu's restless hand.
She clenched her hands tightly, then after a moment she glared at Yunliu with a rare show of menace, "If you don't want me to break your hand, just behave yourself."
Even though Ning'er's voice was soft, An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing, who were walking ahead, still heard it.
The couple exchanged a knowing glance, both with a hint of a smile playing on their lips, but neither spoke a word.
Yun Liu saw that Ning'er was truly angry. He didn't dare to be too aggressive right now, so he pretended nothing had happened and silently followed behind Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang.
Meanwhile, in a private room of a restaurant on this street, Jiang Qingyang and Xiao Qin met.
Xia Qin didn't want to come today, but Jiang Qingyang secretly sent people to write her letters again and again, expressing his feelings for her.
She couldn't deny that she cared for him, so when he openly and frankly expressed his affection, she truly had no way to pretend she didn't know.
After several days of agonizing, she finally arrived.
The two sat in silence, neither one speaking first.
Jiang Qingyang stared at Xiaoqin with burning eyes, his intense gaze leaving her no escape.
Ultimately, Xiaoqin spoke first, “You...what do you want to say”
Jiang Qingyang always told her to come out when he wrote letters, saying he had something to say. But now that she was here, his silence made it impossible for her to guess what he truly wanted.
Jiang Qingyang pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she spoke, "Qiner, are you truly going to marry him"
Xiao Qin tightened her hands, "What else"
Her wedding day was approaching, and the marriage had been arranged by both sets of parents. Yet, her heart belonged to Jiang Qingyang.
It's just that Jiang Qingyang and she… ultimately weren't destined to be together. Even though they were childhood sweethearts and even though they liked each other, they still couldn't end up together in the end.
Jiang Qingyang stared at her firmly, "Qin'er, come with me. As long as you nod, I'll take you away today."
>"..."< Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
I have to say, Jiang Qingyang's words still made Xiao Qin's heart skip a beat, but her stomach felt sour at the same time.
She couldn't help but think, if he had the courage to say such things back then, perhaps her marriage wouldn't have been arranged.
Thinking to herself, Xiaoqin couldn't help but let out a light chuckle. The faint sarcasm in her laugh was unclear whether it was directed at herself or the man before her.
Jiang Qingyang looked at her like this, his heart couldn't help but feel a little panicked. The more Xiao Qin acted this way, the more he felt that he had really lost his chance.
"Qiner, you..."
"Jiang Qingyang."
Xiao Qin had already regained her composure. She calmly interrupted him, her cold eyes staring at him without a ripple, "You only come to tell me this now Don't you think it's a bit late"
“No, it's not too late. As long as you're still willing to come with me...”
"I don't want to."
When Xiao Qin said this, her tone was so calm. Jiang Qingyang had never seen her like this before, and his heart felt even more panicked at this moment.
"First, tell me, what if we just walked away right now How would we explain it What about my family What about his family Just leaving like this... what about your family"
Her marriage to him was arranged by the emperor, a marriage bestowed by him.
If she just left with Jiang Qingyang like this, wouldn't that be defying the imperial decree Would her family even be able to survive
Jiang Qingyang pursed his lips. He naturally knew how serious the consequences of this matter were, but he couldn't bear to watch her marry someone else.
Seeing Jiang Qingyang stunned, Xiao Qin gave a self-deprecating smile. By now, what else was there she didn't understand
He saw her today on a whim, without really coming up with a good solution.
Thinking about this, Xiaoqin still couldn't help but close her eyes, trying her best to prevent tears from streaming down her face.
And so, the two sat in silence for a while longer. Perhaps Xiao Qin had already lost her heart; she slowly stood up and said, “After today, perhaps it would be best if we didn't meet again. As for what has happened before, forgetting is the most correct choice.”
After finishing her sentence, Xiao Qin didn't want to care about his thoughts anymore. She turned around and was about to leave, but Jiang Qingyang suddenly grabbed her wrist. His grip was so strong that it felt like he was going to break her bones.
Jiang Qingyang really couldn't bear to have this ending between them. Right now, his eyes were fixed on her, as if he wanted to pull Xiao Qin into his very bones with his gaze. His eyes were stubborn and frantic, and a voice in his heart kept telling him not to let go. If he let go this time, he might truly lose her forever.
Xiao Qin pursed her lips, her wrist aching from his grip. She didn't dare to meet his obsessive gaze, instead keeping her head down and suppressing her voice as she said, "Jiang Qingyang, let go."
Let him go, and let her go. This way, the number of people who get hurt will only increase.
Jiang Qingyang hadn't even had time to let go when the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a man rushed in.
When Xiaoqin saw who the visitor was, her expression visibly changed.
While Jiang Qingyang saw this person, his brows almost instantly furrowed. Before he could speak, the man attacked Jiang Qingyang with a punch without saying a word.
Jiang Qingyang couldn't possibly just stand there and take the beating. He let go of Xiao Qin's hand and started fighting the man who had come in. After just two moves, they both drew their swords.
Xiao Qin reacted and immediately cried out, "Stop it, you guys...you've been beaten."
As it happened, Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang and the others just happened to be walking under this very wine shop. They all had good hearing, so they all heard Xiaoqin's scream at that moment. Border King, a man everyone calls a god of war, he is invincible and can protect you from anything""Father, why pretend with me What happened at the gate of the Beijiang王府 just now, I believe you ha...
