Phoenix Duchess - C49

Not understanding what was going on, Dong Ling Wan turned around to look:

Even though it was early in the morning, the sunlight was not too strong. Standing at the top of the mountain, he surveyed his surroundings.

The shape of the trees was not very clear. The gentle light of the morning sun shone through the branches and leaves, giving off a kind of hazy beauty. Occasionally, a bird cry could be heard from the forest, but it seemed exceptionally far away.

There was no noise, no fight. Calm and warm, like a paradise, becoming a pure land, giving this impetuous and hurried chaotic world a bit of comfort.

Dong Ling Wan felt her heart stop. A cool breeze blew over, lifting up her unbound hair. Dong Ling Wan closed her eyes slowly, and smiled for the first time in two months. Xiao Qian looked at her with his hands clasped behind his back, his thin lips curling up.

When she opened her eyes again, a royal blue bag was hanging down from her head. Eastern Ling Wan was stunned for a moment, and almost snatched the bag away from her. She held the jade comb in her hand, looked again and again, and said, “Thank you, Xiao Qian.”

Thank you for keeping it so well.

“I …” After a moment, Dong Ling Wan realized what she had said. “Is he really a prince? It doesn’t seem good to address him directly by his name.” He raised his head to see Xiao Qian looking at him with a smile. It was obvious that he didn’t care.

“I know you like high places, so I thought I should take you for a walk around the mountain. Are you satisfied?” Xiao Qian didn’t wait for her reply and suddenly grabbed her hand. “Let’s go. There’s a spring in the mountain. I’ll bring you there.”

Dong Ling Wan let him pull her as the corner of her lips curved up in a great smile. She didn’t even realize it herself.

Xiao Qian brought Dong Ling Wan around, but still didn’t return to the stronghold during lunch. Seeing that Dong Ling Wan was too exhausted, he hunted a big goose for her to eat.

Xiao Qian’s cooking skills were not bad. His skin was roasted golden, and he looked very tasty. However, a delicate lady like Eastern Ling Wan, who was used to eating luxurious food, would still despise him even though she was fortunate enough to eat the food personally cooked by His Highness, the King of Qi’s daughter. In contrast, it was Xiao Qian’s “flying stones and geese hunting” that had shocked DongLing Wan.

This was the first time in Xiao Qian’s life that he made food for a woman, but he didn’t expect that she would despise him so much. She truly didn’t give him any face at all!

Thinking about this, Xiao Qian couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He had been busy for a long time and this woman had looked at him disdainfully while she was eating. However, he remembered that she was looking at him with shining eyes when he beat her up! It turned out that her intention to wash her hands and make the broth was not as good as her martial arts. Truly, no one knew whether to laugh or cry!

It wasn’t until the sun was setting that the two of them slowly descended the mountain.

“Is the birthday happy?”

Eastern Ling Wan turned her head to look at him. “Birthday?”

Yes, it was June 11th. Even she had forgotten about her birthday, but now he …

“I had originally thought that you were the daughter of my boss. Naturally, you wouldn’t mind money being able to buy it. I felt that you weren’t in the mood to celebrate your birthday, so I decided to bring you here to take a break. ”

“There is a saying that is vulgar, but … The dead are dead, and the living mourn. ”

“What happened in the capital was also extremely difficult for people. Your health was not good to begin with, so don’t think too much and bring yourself down. Furthermore, the Eastern Ling Wan that this duke knows is an extremely powerful girl. How could she be unable to recover from her setbacks? ”

Xiao Qian looked into her eyes, half joking. Dong Ling Wan avoided his gaze. “Your Highness.”

She lowered her eyes. The Xiao Qian of today was truly strange, causing her to feel extremely uncomfortable … Then, she suddenly thought of something. She took off the nursing purse that she had been carrying with her. “This purse should be returned to its original owner.”

Xiao Qian looked at the bag in Eastern Ling Wan’s hands with a gaze that was so deep it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He looked at it in his hand, and then put it into Eastern Ling Wan’s hands, “Protector, protect yourself. Since that’s the case, you can keep them all. ”

“This …” Eastern Ling Wan frowned.

“Since I said I would protect you, I will not break my promise. Dong Ling Wan, remember, this is the thing I want to protect your life, you are not allowed to lose it! ” Xiao Qian’s expression was extremely serious, but there was a suspicious blush on his face. This blush was especially obvious on Bai Jun’s face. “Eastern Ling Wan, protect yourself. I …”

Xiao Qian wanted to say something but hesitated. He seemed to know what he would say next. “Your Highness, Ling Wan is anxious to leave now.”

After saying that, Eastern Ling Wan ran down the mountain path without even looking back. Xiao Qian let go of his hand and sighed in annoyance as he quickly walked down the mountain.

Eastern Ling Wan ran far away.

It shouldn’t be like this. A matter of love, shouldn’t it be like how she and Ah Jing were, pouring tea and gambling, and singing a poem about the moon, how did it become like this? Xiao Qian was too good to her, so good that she was afraid of him!

No, Eastern Ling Wan, you’re just too weak, you just need someone to rely on at this time, that’s not what you want! You only used him, it’s nothing to do with love!
