Chapter 111 (2/2)

Nan Xun’s tears broke into a smile, then told him about the assassin that was caught.

After hearing this, Yan Han couldn’t help but gently pinch her nose with his hand, “Yao Yao, you look down on me too much. Do I seem that useless? I’m not trying to be conceited, but I am familiar with the defensive layout of the entire imperial palace. Even with my eyes closed, I can easily avoid the patrol guards.”

Nan Xun laughed twice, reached out and hugged his waist.

She looked up at him slightly, because she had just cried and her eyes looked bright and watery, as if they were full of spring water.

“Yan Han, are you afraid?” She asked suddenly.

Yan Han held her small face with both hands, his thumbs gently stroked her delicate face, and asked softly, “What are you afraid of?”

Nan Xun blinked and looked authentically innocent: “Aren’t you afraid that the emperor will find out about us, a cheating couple, who has been messing around behind his back, that he will tear us apart into a thousand pieces?”

Yan Han’s hand paused for a moment. There were strong emotions in the bottom of his eyes, but when the emotions were about to burst out, he suppressed it again and his eyes looked extremely soft.

He smiled at Nan Xun and said lightly, “Yao Yao, no one can say that we are a cheating couple. If the emperor does really find out, I will try to take you out of the palace. Yao Yao, although I can’t compare to the emperor and have no power, my Yan family is rich and will definitely let you live a lifetime of luxury.”

Nan Xun burst out laughing before raising her chin to face him. “I was born into a General’s family. My grandfather is General lao Qin and my father is a front line General. Hence, I grew up in a luxurious household and it’s not easy to impress me that way. As for power and authority, even if the emperor himself named me the master of the harem, I, Qin Buyao, still wouldn’t yearn for it. Being empress is really tiring and while it might sound grand, it is but a way for the emperor to control his women and I could never get used to the way the women fight amongst themselves. It’s irritating and tiring, and we, the people of the Qin family, are a bunch of straightforward people. We won’t do or say things behind people’s back.

When Nan Xun said this, she was in high spirts, her bright eyes were full of favor and admiration, somewhat arrogant, but he didn’t feel disgusted at all.

Yan Han’s eyes flashed slightly, he was captivated for a moment.

Nan Xun suddenly reached out. She lifted Yan Han’s chin, looked at him with a smile and asked, “Yan Han, Yan gongzi, you certainly can’t get off this pirate ship, have you really thought about it?”

Yan Han reached out to hold the finger that raised his chin, and said with a smile, “Nonsense.”

“Yao Yao, I won’t regret it, I just hope you don’t regret it in the future either.” Yan Han looked at her with a burning gaze, a slight curve forming on the corners of his lips, which looked a little evil.

When Cuihuan returned crying and hawing, what she saw was the picture of her Niang Niang and the fellow Yan gongzi who she thought was being tortured in the punishment department in an intimate embrace. She thought it was so beautiful that her liver hurt.

“Yan gongzi, you are all right! My Niang Niang was worried about you ah.” Cuihuan sniffed.

When Yan Han saw Cuihuan entering, he started to release the woman from his arms, but this woman continued to hold on to him with a vice grip, smiled at him and said, “I’m not afraid, Cuihuan is my people.”

Yan Han: … This is really a slut.

The arm that was about to retract, wrapped around Nan Xun’s slender waist.

“Yao Yao, you were so worried about me.” Yan Han gazed at the little woman in his arms with a smile.

Nan Xun didn’t feel embarrassed at all, but instead smiled and asked, “How are you? Are you moved?”

Yan Han didn’t know how to answer. After a pause, he said, “Yao Yao, I’m glad you like me too. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do with you.”

Nan Xun heard this, smiled happily and was about to reply but little eight suddenly and unexpectedly suddenly became an eyesore, interjecting, “This is the.. the sentence! What to do with you! Wow, big boss is really domineering like in romance novels, like a CEO, such avant-garde love words can be said!”
