Zhang Qi responded with a "yes" and said: "Ill be right there."

  After casting a glance at A Lu, Zhang Gui followed the maid out of the room.

  After walking a few hundred steps, they arrived at a shaded path, where Zhang Qian smiled sweetly and said: "Which room are you from? I dont seem to have seen you before."

  The maid turned around and said: "I am a person of Jin Guzi, Qi Guzi has seen me."

  Zhang Qi said in surprise: "You are a person of Jin Guzi, but its not Ninth Brother who called me, why isnt his maid coming?"

  The maid was stunned.

  Zhang Qi also stopped in her tracks. She eyed the maid warily and slowly backed away.

  It was at this moment that a low chuckle came over, "Youre quite vigilant."

  Its Xiao Mos voice!

  Zhang Qi didnt know whether she should feel relieved or more tense for a moment, and then she turned back.

  Xiao Mo wore a light cloak and carried a wooden clog, walking out of the forest with a flutter. In the morning light, his handsome face was fair and refreshing, his eyes shining brightly, and he brought a maidservant who had come with Zhang Qi to cast a jealous glance at Zhang Qi before staring blankly at him again.

  Staring at Zhang Qi, Xiao Mo instructed: "Come over here."

  The place where he was is a garden. The trees around him are tall and majestic, with new green leaves sprouting, and its unlikely that anyone would find him there.

  Zhang Qi walked towards him with her head down.

  As she approached him, Xiao Mo turned around and continued forward. When he stopped, the two had already arrived at a secluded spot with two fake mountains, surrounded by tall trees in absolute silence.

  Xiao Mo looked at Zhang Qi.

  He walked up to her while she was still lowering her head.

  Looking at her, he smiled and said: "Have you been thinking of me these past two days?"

  Missing him?

  Zhang Qi blinked and finally decided to honestly shake her head.

  Xiao Mos smile slightly subsided.

  He held his hands behind his back and said in a low voice, "Dont be angry, I originally wanted to properly take you into the manor. But unfortunately, young lady, you refused every time, even when your aunt tried to persuade you, she didnt budge at all. Even the other day..."

  The day before, he had said that the aunt was moved, and the carriage was ready. All they needed to do was for the aunt to use the excuse of sending her out as a concubine to Xiao Ce, and then he would intercept her on the way. However, he hadnt expected that the aunt would change her mind at the last minute. What he had least expected was that the courtyard he had originally used to calm down Zhang Yi had actually been sold!

  The good courtyard, he had arranged for someone to decorate it! It was actually sold by Zhang Qi!

  Xiao Mos eyes slightly dimmed at this thought.

  He stared tightly at Zhang Qi.

  This little girl is really bold!

  She was lowering her head at this time, rubbing the hem of her clothes with both hands, looking as honest and obedient as possible.

  She should be really honest, how could she remain calm and composed when Guangling King drew his sword? If she were really honest, she wouldnt have made an impression on the Emperor by offering to play a tune for him.

  Its just strange that thinking of this little girls bold and reckless behavior, he doesnt find it unusual at all?

  He reached out and pulled at Zhang Qis sleeve.

  As he pulled hard, Zhang Qis body involuntarily rushed forward. His arm wrapped around her and naturally pulled her into his embrace.

  In an instant, Zhang Qi was hugged by him.

  Zhang Qi was still petite and slender, while Xiao Mos figure, in the generally slender southern people, was majestic. This time, Zhang Qi really fell into his arms, her head barely reaching his lips.

  She suddenly fell into a mans arms, Zhang Qi was flustered, she wanted to struggle, but the arm around her waist was as hard as iron. After moving for a while, he hugged her even tighter.

  The mans solid and powerful heartbeat came through the thin spring shirt. The refreshing masculine breath was even more tightly wrapped around her.

  Zhang Qi was so scared that she didnt dare move at all.

  Xiao Mo saw that she had stopped struggling, her arms slightly relaxed. He lowered his head to look at Zhang Qi in his arms, his fingers like a comb, slowly combing up her bangs, revealing her pale and delicate face and watery eyes, as if shrouded in a thin mist.

  He lifted her chin and gazed at her quietly.

  Long and powerful fingers gently stroked her lips, feeling the temperature of those red lips at the fingertips, Xiao Mos breathing gradually becoming coarser.

  Zhang Qis face turned red as she couldnt help but squirm a little. This slight movement, however, made her clearly feel the hardness pressing against her thighs.

  She didnt dare move anymore.

  Pitifully, she lifted her head, and Zhang Yis eyes were filled with tears. "Xiao Lang, will let people see!" She choked back tears, saying these few words in a low, pitiful tone that easily moved peoples hearts.

  Xiao Mo did not have a soft heart.

  Not only did he not soften his heart, but he instead held her even tighter.

  Another hand stroked her back, and Xiao Mo said in a low voice: "Let people see its just right!"

  Zhang Qi was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood: he had been seen, and now he could openly and honorably take himself back!

  Zhang Qi bit her lip.

  Xiao Mo lowered his head, his eyes fixed intently on her eyebrows and eyes. After a while, he said in a low voice: "That Prince Guangling..."

  King of Guangling?

  Zhang Qi stiffened and listened intently without moving.

  Xiao Mo stared at her expression and slowly said: "He encountered an assassin last night."

  As Zhang Qi looked at him with wide eyes, he remained expressionless, still as elegant and refined as ever. "I heard that he has caught a few people and has already investigated that the assassin was sent by his own country. These people have come with ill intentions. I reckon he has already submitted a request to Your Majesty to return to his country. His time is limited, and its likely he doesnt even have the energy to indulge in romantic affairs."

  Zhang Qi looked at him.

  She understood that there was a change in the Qi state and the King of Guangling had to rush back, he didnt have time for her anymore!

  She stared blankly at Xiao Mo and couldnt help but ask: "Is this something you arranged?"

  Xiao Mo smiled.

  This smile, snow-white teeth shining under the morning light, is indescribably elegant and refined.

  He didnt admit it, but he didnt deny it either!

  Zhang Qi was secretly shocked. She had actually underestimated this young man all along and didnt know he had such methods!

  She lowered her head again, Xiao Mo lifted up her chin, then bowed his head and kissed her red lips.

  Zhang Qi didnt have time to struggle, he had already touched her lightly and then separated. Moving his lips, he whispered hoarsely in her ear: "Ah Qi, I respect you, so now Ill leave you pure. Wait until Ive made arrangements, then youll marry me obediently."

  Is it? If he doesnt respect her, now hes torn off her clothes and ruined her chastity.

  Zhang Qis mouth twitched slightly, but she didnt dare say anything, and instead lowered her head even further.

  Xiao Mo stretched out his large hand and stroked her hair, his fingers couldnt help but rub against her jade-like ears as smooth as cream.

  This time, he seemed to be addicted, his fingers like spring breeze, lightly and gently swept over her chin, neck, and fell on her collarbone.

  His expression became increasingly satisfied.

  At last, he let out a long sigh and pulled her tightly into his arms. He groaned, "You cunning little wench... since the house has been sold, have you gotten your hands on the silver? Bring it here for me to put away."
