"Yanzi?"
Ye Lingling's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Underneath the veil, her delicate face, still slightly flushed from Qian Renjue's pinch.
"Lingling, open the door quickly."
Dugu Yan's voice sounded again.
Qian Renxue stood behind her, waiting quietly.
Just a few breaths later.
The door opened, and Ye Lingling's slender figure appeared.
"Yanzi? And..."
Ye Lingling was just about to ask a question.
However, she was captivated by the sacred and noble aura emanating from Qian Renxue.
A flash of amazement flickered in her blue eyes.
Undoubtedly, Qian Renxue was extremely beautiful, possessing a charm that forbade any disrespect.
That appearance, which shared six or seven similarities with Qian Renjue, she had seen it a few years ago.
It was at the Tiandou Royal Academy, beside Qian Renjue.
Ye Lingling already knew the identity of the woman before her.
From the letters they had exchanged.
Qian Renjue would occasionally complain to her.
About how his mother and elder sister at home doted on him too much and often squished his face.
Ye Lingling watched Qian Renxue's lips move.
No sound came out.
This was considered their first meeting, and for a moment, she didn't know how to address her.
Nor did she know Qian Renxue's purpose in coming.
While Ye Lingling was looking at Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue was also sizing her up.
Her eyes held an air of scrutiny.
Long, blue hair, limpid eyes, a slender and well-proportioned figure, with a slight swell at her chest.
A thin waist and long legs.
Qian Renxue already knew her outward appearance clearly.
It did seem that she had gained a bit more of a worldly air, a touch more warmth, compared to when they first met.
Not bad.
That was Qian Renxue's current assessment.
At the very least, she hadn't done anything to annoy her, unlike those seductive vixens.
There were no inappropriate words in the letters exchanged.
The two women sized each other up, but it all happened in an instant.
Dugu Yan softly introduced to Ye Lingling:
"Lingling, this is Miss Xue, the sister of the殿下, let's go inside and talk."
"Yeah."
Seeing Dugu Yan's respectful demeanor, Ye Lingling hesitated for a moment.
She still didn't ask much and stepped aside.
Dugu Yan followed Qian Renxue and slowly entered the room.
Her wavering, light green eyes seemed to be conveying some information.
Ye Lingling didn't understand.
But she also understood Qian Renxue's noble status and that her intentions were unclear.
She slightly bowed and greeted her.
"Ye Lingling greets Miss Xue."
Seeing this,
Dugu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried Ye Lingling would offend Qian Renxue.
Fortunately, Ye Lingling's temperament wasn't rash. "Mm, no need for formalities."
Qian Renxue wandered around casually,
looking everywhere in this room, which was basically closed to the public.
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan looked at each other, silent.
Qian Renxue came to the table and sat down.
Dugu Yan quickly followed, pouring fragrant hot tea for Qian Renxue.
"To be honest, I don't think you two are a good match."
Gulp~!
The tea Dugu Yan was pouring suddenly stopped, then quickly resumed.
Ye Lingling's delicate body trembled slightly.
Her initially calm heart was quickly stirred, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. A thread of panic surged within her, only to be quickly suppressed.
"Heh."
Qian Renxue smiled casually.
What she said wasn't a lie.
She had thought so from the very beginning, and she still felt the same way now.
Raising her eyes, a white light flashed, as if she wanted to see through the girl before her.
Her thin lips parted slightly:
"Are you willing to leave Jue?"
"Miss Xue..."
Dugu Yan started to say something, but was silenced by a glare.
She could only fret anxiously. She knew Ye Lingling's personality: solitary, cold, and reticent.
But ever since Qian Renjue appeared... Ye Lingling had started to speak more.
The two women would talk every day about Qian Renjue.
As long as the topic was about the殿下, no matter how boring... Ye Lingling was willing to say a few more words.
Dugu Yan couldn't imagine what would happen if she really left, if Ye Lingling would imprison her in an even darker, more desolate abyss.
"I'll listen to him."
Ye Lingling's voice became a bit low.
She stared at Qian Renxue, who was clenching her sleeves and biting her red lips, her breathing becoming a little rapid.
Lowering her eyes, she continued, "As long as he doesn't say he doesn't want me, I'll always stand by his side."
"Is that your answer?"
Qian Renxue's expression remained unchanged, a smile on her face that was hard to read. "But what if he really doesn't want you?"
"He won't."
Ye Lingling said firmly.
They had only interacted face-to-face a few times, but from his words and actions, Ye Lingling could clearly feel that gentleness.
It was a heartwarming warmth. She believed in Qian Renjue, even more than she believed in herself! "Jue really wouldn't."
Qian Renxue sipped her tea, then nodded her head with a troubled expression.
She teased, "But what if I were to ask him? Do you think he would?"
"He wouldn't."
Ye Lingling didn't hesitate, still giving the same answer.
She raised her eyes, looking at Qian Renxue in front of her.
"If Miss Xue has any dissatisfaction with Lingling, you can tell me, and I can change."
"Don't make him feel conflicted, okay?"
Ye Lingling's breathing grew heavier. She believed in Qian Renjue; if she didn't make mistakes, he wouldn't abandon her.
She also worried that Qian Renjue would be unhappy being caught in the middle. "Heh."
Qian Renxue chuckled softly.
Her eyes subtly held a hint of satisfaction.
It seemed that sometimes, stubbornness wasn't a flaw.
"Fine, lest Jue finds out and says I'm bullying you."
Qian Renxue shrugged.
Ye Lingling had already made her decision, so there was no need for her to say more.
"I won't tell him."
Ye Lingling promised.
"Alright."
Qian Renxue smiled sweetly and waved her hand.
The pressure on her body vanished completely.
"Come and have tea. Don't be nervous. I just came to formally meet you."
"Yan Yan, sit down too."
"Mm, thank you, Miss Xue."
Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that Miss Xue wasn't serious.
"But then again..."
Qian Renxue's tone changed, making Dugu Yan's heart jump again.
"Do you also like wearing a veil at home?"
Qian Renxue frowned, curious.
"No."
Ye Lingling gently shook her head.
Qian Renxue jested:
"Really? I thought you were afraid of scaring Jue."
Ye Lingling, who had just walked to the table, paused and pursed her lips.
She was just too shy and easily blushed.
Wearing a veil allowed her to interact with Qian Renjue more comfortably.
Then Ye Lingling became a little curious. How did Qian Renxue know that she wore a veil when she was with Qian Renjue?!
Without thinking too much about it, Ye Lingling obediently removed the veil from her face.
"Heh, not bad."
Qian Renxue carefully admired the delicate, slightly flushed jade face.
"Do you want to come with me to the Martial Soul Hall to take a look?"
"..."
Qian Renjue didn't know.
He had just left when Qian Renxue immediately went to find Ye Lingling.
At this moment, he was already on the carriage heading to Notting.
They sped along the way.
A few days passed in a flash.
Dugu Bo, wearing a bamboo hat, was in charge of driving the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Xiao Wu was resting her head on Qian Renjue's lap, while Ling Yuan sat beside him. Her elbow kept brushing against his as the carriage swayed.
The carriage windows were wide open.
This was to let the little rabbit enjoy the scenery and get some air.
Qian Renjue's hand gently rested on Xiao Wu's neck, and he suddenly froze, noticing the pink Soul-Capturing Pearl.
Qian Renjue seemed to be thinking of something. It was something he had obtained from opening a box a long time ago.
The wheels rolled onward.
The carriage traveled along the road. In another half an hour, they would reach their destination.
Clatter!
The sounds around him grew even more chaotic.
"Moo—"
Xiao Wu couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her ears.
Qian Renjue turned his gaze towards the window. A plain carriage brushed past.
A corner of the carriage curtain was lifted.
A black-haired child, with a steady gaze, looked curiously out the window.
The two glances passed each other.
The two carriages went their separate ways.
Just a single glance.
Qian Renjue frowned.
"Senior Dugu, stop the carriage!"
I wish you all a happy life!
