To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C86
Xiang Rongcheng walked over with big strides. Liu Yue glanced at the two of them and tactfully carried the caged canary away.
“Anran, are you alright?” Xiang Rongcheng was tall and slender, squatting in front of her, he asked her with a low voice, but he could not hide the anxiousness in his voice.
Shi Anran felt that it was very strange. Towards Xiang Rongcheng’s concern, she both hated it but she also felt that it was sincere. After staring at him blankly for a while, he opened his mouth and said, “Young Master Xiang has no rules, it’s fine that you came uninvited, are you not afraid that someone will make you a laughing stock by entering and exiting a woman’s courtyard?”
“Anran, don’t get angry at me. The Emperor sent me out to battle, so I didn’t have the time to come back and see you. It was my fault.” Xiang Rongcheng looked at the steaming hot medicine on the table, and personally passed it to her, “Drink it first!”
It’s my fault… When these words came out from the mouths of Third Prince and Xiang Rongcheng, they had two different meanings.
Shi Anran had never blamed Xiang Rongcheng for not coming to visit his, but she would not do so either. Taking the medicine bowl, he lightly glanced at him with a hint of amusement and asked, “So you came just like that?”
Xiang Rongcheng’s handsome face reddened, and he coughed lightly: “Isn’t it all because of you, heartless girl, if I don’t hurry back, I would be taken advantage of by others.”
“Nonsense!” The Third Prince was very shrewd, if not for the fact that she knew how ambitious she was in her previous life, Shi Anran would have long been deceived by his gentle and jade-like attitude. In this rebirth, Shi Anran had a lot of faith in everyone, even the most trusted person beside him did not.
“Anran, don’t piss me off, I’ll give you a pet!” As he said this, he turned around and entered the flower bush. Not long later, he walked over with a small Fire Fox in his arms.
Shi Anran opened his eyes wide and looked at the little fellow in his hands. She felt that he was extremely fond of this little fellow, and raised his eyes to look at him, “This is …”
“This is called a fox. Its fur is red, so people call it a fire fox. It’s very hard to see!” Xiang Rongcheng said, as he placed the Fire Fox that was not much bigger than his palm next to her.
The little guy stuck out its pink tongue and licked Shi Anran’s finger. Its little head rubbed her arm as it begged for mercy, causing Shi Anran to be filled with joy.
Xiang Rongcheng unceremoniously poured himself a cup of tea and drank it up, and then he leisurely said: “On the way back, I went to a forest to rest, and seeing that the little guy was abandoned, I brought it back, thinking that you will definitely like it, Anran.”
Shi Anran stroked the little fox’s fur, and revealed a rare gentle smile to Xiang Rongcheng. “Thank you for your gift …”
“Then you forgive me?”
“Hmm?” She was slightly puzzled. “When have I ever blamed you?”
Hearing that, Xiang Rongcheng was so excited that he almost pounced on her, and kissed her face. This was the first time he was at her place, and he was not scolded by Shi Anran, “Anran, if there’s any movement at the border, I can go out and fight at any time. When the world is at peace, I’ll definitely bring along a generous betrothal gift and marry you!”
Shi Anran felt her heart palpitating. That kind of feeling could not be described with words, so she changed the subject, “War occurs frequently, just be careful!”
“You still care about me.” Xiang Rongcheng looked at her with shining eyes, as if he wanted to see something else from those beautiful eyes.
Being unrestrainedly stared at by a handsome man, Shi Anran felt like her face was hanging, with a suspicious blush on her cheeks.
“Miss, the Third Prince sent someone to deliver tonic for Miss!” Liu Yue was full of smiles, but when she saw Xiang Rongcheng’s unhappy expression, she pouted. How could she have forgotten that there was a future Young Master here?
Shi Anran just glanced at it and opened her mouth wide, “Leave it!” At this moment, she was like a completely different person compared to her usual gentle and gentle self.
was somewhat astonished. She was initially troubled by the good things that the Third Prince did for her, but now that she saw Shi Anran’s unmoved expression, she was a little pleased with herself. If Anran was truly interested in the Third Prince, she would be happy, but her emotions were very calm, so calm that it seemed like she didn’t care at all.
Not knowing why, but in front of Xiang Rongcheng, Shi Anran was too lazy to pretend. She used one hand to support her chin and fiddled with the little fox’s head, the corner of her mouth raised up, “Young Master Xiang, what name do you think I should give this guy?”
“This… You decide then, Anran! ” As a man, he couldn’t compare to the delicacy of a woman.
Shi Anran seemed to think about it, then laughed, “Look at its red fur, it is as hot as fire, why don’t you call it Little Flame? Do you think so? ”
“If you say so, let’s call you Little Flame!” With the little fox’s help, Xiang Rongcheng could use the reason of coming to see Xiao Yan to get along with Anran more in the future.
Shi Anran’s gaze fell on his arm, and asked tentatively, “Last time you saved my arm, how is it?”
Although it had already been a few days, Xiang Rongcheng was still very pleased to be able to hear her concern. “What’s wrong with that little injury? During the war, you had to endure even more serious injuries!”
Hearing that, Shi Anran frowned, then quickly collected her emotions: “Young Master Xiang has already been here for a long time!”
Why was he flipping through books faster than he was flipping through books? Xiang Rongcheng reached out and stroked Xiao Yan’s head, and said to Shi Anran: “Anran, you promised me, you are not allowed to get too close with Third Prince …”
“Don’t the Young Master Xiang feel that he overdid it?”
“You are my fiancée, how can I not care? Other than my fiance, you are not allowed to smile at other men, especially at Third Prince! ” Xiang Rongcheng felt that a man like the Third Prince could make women fall for him the most, but he couldn’t let his Anran take it too.
Shi Anran looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and slowly took a deep breath, “I think Young Master Xiang still doesn’t understand what I mean.
“Even if it wasn’t for the agreement from before, I want to marry you as my wife. Anran, you cannot escape!” The woman that Xiang Rongcheng had recognized would be recognized for the rest of his life.
“Haha …” A light laugh that carried mockery broke the silence between the two of them. Shi Anran looked up and met his gaze with undisguised indifference, “Has Young Master Xiang always been this tyrannical?”
“Yes …” But only against you! It was a pity that Shi Anran did not give him the chance to finish her words.
“Don’t say there’s nothing between me and the Third Prince, what does it have to do with you? If we were to explain everything in detail, Young Master Xiang would feel that we are only strangers who are unfamiliar with each other.
Her words caused Xiang Rongcheng to be heavily injured, and after staring blankly at Shi Anran for a good while, he forced out a sentence, “You’re protecting another man like this?”
Shi Anran did not say anything, and could be considered to have tacitly agreed to something.
Xiang Rongcheng’s almond-shaped eyes contained a hint of anger, his five fingers tightened, and he turned to leave.
Shi Anran didn’t understand what was worthy of his liking, and was extremely agitated in her heart. As if it felt its master’s displeasure, the little fox shrunk into her embrace.
Young Master Xiang was angered by the young miss to leave? Liu Yue and Lian Xing looked at each other, and could not help but smile, her young miss really had the ability to piss people off, every single time she could make Young Master Xiang leave in anger.
