C47 (1/2)

Within the mountain, a silver moon hung in the sky like a lantern. It was as if the entire world was enveloped in its radiance. In front of the fence, the two of them held onto the railing and raised their heads to look at the jade plate floating in the air. Their actions were quite similar, but it was unknown if the two of them were thinking in the same way.

The moonlight shone brightly, making Dong Ling Wan's figure seem even more petite, making people want to embrace her. The man in black beside her stood there silently. He was proud and aloof, but his back view alone gave people a feeling of being trustworthy. However, in the eyes of Eastern Ling Wan, this was only an illusion.

Dong Ling Wan never mentioned what would happen to the four servants because she knew that Xiao Qian had already sent them to where they were supposed to go. As for admiring the snow, she couldn't afford it.

”Use the funeral. When Ling Wan returns to the capital, she'll have someone return it to your highness.”

”It's just a funeral, how can This King be a petty person?”

”No matter how rich your highness's military might is, it is still yours. You shouldn't waste it on Ling Wan. You should, you must return it.”

Xiao Qian turned his head to look at her. ”I didn't ask you to return anything.”

”Ling Wan knows, but, Your Highness,” Eastern Ling Wan raised her head, looking him in the eye. ”Ling Wan doesn't want to owe anyone anything.”

In this world, you are the only girl who dares to speak like this in front of me!

”You owe me more than silver!” Her voice was extremely soft, but it still entered Ling Wan's ears. His heart skipped a beat. Indeed, he owed more than just silver. Most importantly, it was a favor.

Just as Dong Ling Wan wanted to say something, she heard Xiao Qian sigh, ”Alright, I'll agree.” There was a trace of love in his words, but neither of the two people noticed it, ”Next time, let Zhongye settle the score. All your food and clothing for the past month is all mine, I won't forgive you even if you lose a cent.”

Dong Ling Wan fell silent. Xiao Qian laughed, ”I'm just teasing you, are you serious?”

”That's for the best.” Dong Ling Wan's voice was calm, it was hard to cover her estrangement. He didn't know what her ”that” meant.

Xiao Qian didn't look at her. ”You want to leave?”

Dong Ling Wan lowered her eyes. ”There is no one in the mansion who can decide. They are all waiting for Ling Wan to return and take charge of the situation.” These days, I have been disturbing your majesty. ”

”It's a mess outside. I'll persuade Second Miss to leave in two days.”

”Your Highness, please don't take pleasure in Ling Wan'er. This world is chaotic.”

”True.” Xiao Qian's eyes slanted to the side as he smiled. As he spoke, he reached out his hand towards Ling Wan's waist. Ling Wan moved away, and his voice was low. It was obvious that he was angry at Xiao Qian's frivolous actions. ”Your Highness!”

Xiao Qian didn't say anything and just shifted his gaze to her waist. Dong Ling gently followed his gaze, and the purse she had hidden behind her shirt was faintly discernible.

”It's already so big, why is it still wearing this?”

”Ling Wan was only fourteen when she became Young Master Hua.

The reason why Dong Ling Wan brought this item was naturally not just for this. She still had hope in her heart that one day she would be able to find that person and exchange it for her own. That item was too important!

Xiao Qian stared at the bag and only smiled. After a while, he said, ”That's true. This thing can't be taken down after the passage of a year. This prince isn't obedient.”

Dong Ling Wan looked at him. Most rich families would ask for one of these for their children, and place some gold and jade objects inside to keep them in check. It wasn't strange for Xiao Qian to have this, but Dong Ling Wan still asked casually, ”Does Your Highness also have them?”

”Of course.” Xiao Qian looked into Dong Ling Wan's eyes, and spoke as if she had hidden a deep meaning. ”If you like it, I'll give mine to you too.”
