C64 (2/2)

When he returned to the living room in the palace, it was already quite late. Lu JinNian changed back into his own clothes, pushed open the door and saw Xiao Yun staring at her with his wet and misty eyes. His scarlet lips pouted.

As a boy, and also a boy whose age even dogs despised, Xiao Yun's skin was extremely good, and his character was simply beyond good … Yes, this is in front of Lu JinNian.

Staring at this child who was maliciously acting cute, Lu JinNian resisted the urge to pinch his face and tell himself that this was a prince and that he couldn't pinch him. He smiled and said, ”Good morning, Seventh Prince.”

Xiao Yun crossed his hands and said, ”It's getting late, father has already left!”

Lu JinNian stroked his chin, ”Yes, my daughter should leave the palace and return home.” He had to confirm whether Du Lang had been sent over by the Demon Lord. Even if he hadn't, the items that she left on Du Lang's body would have helped her find the person.

”No, no!” Xiao Yun shamelessly went up to hug Lu JinNian's waist and said, ”Sis Jin'er, you promised to accompany me. In the end, you only coaxed me to sleep, then ran out. At the very least, you have to accompany me to eat breakfast! Furthermore, I finally mustered the courage to do so. As long as big sister Jin'er is here, I'll … ”

Lu JinNian put his finger on Xiao Yun's lips, curled his lips and smiled, ”Brat, you're threatening me.”

Being seen through, Xiao Yun's face turned red as he lowered his head in silence.

”Hey, I told you before that there are some wounds that should not be opened. They are not for you to threaten me with. Furthermore, I do not have a good temper.”

”Even though I said that, Big Sister Jin'er couldn't bear to see me sad.”

Lu JinNian retracted his finger and narrowed his eyes to look at him, ”What did you say?”

”Nothing!” Xiao Yun laughed foolishly.

Lu Jinnian sighed, ”The reason I said that is because even if the wound is scabbed, it will still hurt if it is picked up. What I want to tell you now is, if the scar is ripped open, it will hurt, but not the wound will never heal. Your Highness Seventh Prince, you know what I'm talking about, right?”

The matter of Du Lang's disappearance was an opportunity. Perhaps the shadow in Xiao Yun's heart could not be dispelled. However, it would also be a good thing if he could face that matter head on.

Even if it was a child, there would always be a day when they grew up. They couldn't hope to be protected forever and didn't want to be too fragile and good.

Lu JinNian always remembered the first time he saw Xiao Yun four years ago.

She had just returned from a faked death at the border, and on the way, she noticed that there was something wrong with the expressions of a group of people. Based on her many years of experience charging into a bandit's nest alone, she could tell that they were a group of bandits.

The smell of blood could be smelt from far away, causing Lu JinNian to report it to the officials without hesitation. Afterwards, he continued to track down the bandits.

At that time, she had thought that the goods on the Mountain Bandits' carriages should have been obtained by killing people and looting their goods. She hadn't thought that it would be Xiao Yun, this child.

The interior of the horse carriage was very small. Lu Jinniang only dared to approach the horse carriage to inspect its contents while the bandits were resting.

Her face was as white as paper, yet very calm. However, her trembling body revealed his panic, and her sleeves were torn apart. She held a dagger in her hand, which was now pointed at him, then dashed out.

She was facing a woman who had a face covered by a mask, but her lust was not concealed …
