Mo Yunjing’s lips curled into a faint smile, his nose tip lightly touching her delicate one. His voice, low and husky, slowly spoke, “What you prepared is enough.”
But I still think… hmm
Before An Xue Tang could finish her words, Mo Yun Jing covered her lips again. Afterward, she couldn’t even utter a complete sentence.
……
Meanwhile, Ning’er had been dragged by Yun Liuqiang to a secluded place.
Ning’er didn’t refuse either, she was also looking for him at this moment.
Once Yunliu stopped, she turned to him just as he was about to leave and handed him the letter written by An Xuetang. Her voice was calm as she said, “This is a letter from the Princess to the Prince. I believe that after the Prince reads it, he will agree to listen to his Princess. With this letter, tomorrow you should leave with the Prince. He shouldn’t blame you for acting without permission or disobeying his orders.”
Yun Liu nodded slightly and carefully put the letter away.
He looked up and saw Ning’er was about to leave, instinctively reaching out to grab her arm. “Ning’er, don’t go yet.”
“Ning’er, tomorrow I shall be leaving.”
So what?
“…”
Yunliu was choked, if not for understanding Ming’er’s temperament, just listening to her tone, he would have misunderstood how much she disliked him.
But he still didn’t let go of her arm, just took a step forward, getting closer to her. “Ninger, you know that the battlefield is a dangerous place, with swords and blades everywhere. When I go… it’s likely that…”
I don’t know which word in his sentence offended Ning’er, but as soon as she heard him speak, she suddenly turned around and glared at him, “What do you want to say? Don’t talk nonsense to me.”
She sounded quite upset, but who knew that Yunliu burst into laughter after hearing it, “Ninger, you’re worried about me!”
He used an affirmative sentence, and after finishing, this time he finally didn’t restrain himself anymore. He immediately hugged Ning’er forcefully into his arms.
Ning’er’s heart skipped a beat, her whole body stiffened. She immediately pushed him hard, but he was very strong. Unless she used her internal energy right now, she really couldn’t push him away.
In fact, Yun Liu was also betting, betting that she wouldn’t use her inner strength.
After a moment of hesitation, seeing Ning’er stop pushing him away, Yunliu suddenly beamed with excitement. He held her tightly, leaning close to her ear and saying:
“Don’t worry, Ninger. As long as you wait here, I won’t let anything happen to myself. We will all return safely. Wait for me.”
Ning’er closed her eyes and didn’t respond to him, but this time she greedily didn’t push him away.
There’s a kind of love, hard to express in the heart, corroding bones and spirit, but she indeed… can’t respond.
They hugged for what felt like an eternity. Ning’er, seeing that Yunliu wasn’t paying attention, pushed him away. “Take care.”
Leaving these two words behind, Ning’er turned and walked away, seeming resolute.
But Yunliu knew her thoughts, so at this moment he just smiled foolishly at her departing back. He had always known that Ning’er hadn’t responded to him because of Fengming.
So he actually hoped that after the war ended, Feng Ming would wake up.
As long as Feng Ming wakes up, he will ask clearly what Feng Ming’s concerns are. As long as Feng Ming agrees to let him marry Ning’er, he can do anything.
……
Ning’er walked back to Jingtang Garden. She put away the inappropriate thoughts in her mind, took a deep breath to adjust herself, and then walked inside.
Shou’er and Kang’er were guarding the courtyard at that time. When Ning’er came back, the two went over to greet her.
Ning’er looked at Shou’er and lowered her voice, “Has everything been arranged?”
Shou’er nodded slightly, “Well, they will leave first tonight.”
“Well, after tomorrow the manor will be considerably less populated. We must re-plan how to guard the Crown Princess.”
Shou’er and Kang’er nodded slightly. The two of them were waiting here for this very reason.
After this, there will be fewer Yun family soldiers by the princess’s side, so they must be more cautious in finding ways to protect the princess. They must ensure that no one leaves her side for a moment.
……
Perhaps because of the impending parting, that night no matter how much Mo Yun Jing tossed and turned, An Xue Tang didn’t refuse, but rather cooperated quite willingly.
This kind of cooperation caused her to be so tired and sleepy that she didn’t even notice that Mo Yunjing had already gotten up before dawn.
Mo Yunjing, after getting dressed, walked back to the bedside step by step, crouched down, and looked at her tired sleeping face. His eyes were full of tenderness for her.
Actually, it wasn’t that he wanted to make things difficult for her. He just didn’t want her to see his departing back. He stared at An Xue Tang’s face for an unknown amount of time, then gently pressed a kiss on her brow.
After getting up, he left without looking back.
But he didn’t know that the moment the door closed, tears welled up in An Xue Tang’s eyes.
Originally, even if she was tired, she remembered that Mo Yunjing was leaving. So after hearing the noise, she woke up.
She just didn’t want to see him leave with her own eyes, and she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to hold back her tears. So in the end, she didn’t open her eyes.
