"Mother, you must take good care of yourself as well."
"Okay."
Ye Qichi left with Lu You.
As they left, Ye Qichi couldn’t help but take another glance at Anqi.
Watching her obediently embraced in the nanny’s arms, her eyes staring straight at her, those innocent and clear eyes, probably unaware that she was about to temporarily "abandon" her.
But Xiao Jinxing was quite right.
Anqi isn’t really safe staying with them.
It’s safer in the Minister Mansion.
She took a deep breath.
And then turned around and left.
Once she had completed her tasks and returned, she would take her with them, and then roam the martial arts world together.
Ye Qichi returned to the main hall.
Xiao Jinxing and Ye Zhengde were still talking, seeing Ye Qichi co back, Xiao Jinxing asked, "Ready to leave?"
"Yes."
Xiao Jinxing then stood up from his chair.
He addressed Ye Zhengde politely, "Father-in-law, your son-in-law will take his leave now."
"I will see off the Prince and the Princess."
"Father, please stay, spend more ti with mother," Ye Qichi stopped him.
Xiao Jinxing also said, "Father-in-law, there’s no need for formalities."
Upon hearing Xiao Jinxing say this, Ye Zhengde respectfully replied, "Then, I’ll respectfully send off the Prince and Princess."
Both nodded.
And then they left the Minister Mansion.
Having only stayed for an hour, it was quite efficient.
The two got back into the carriage again.
Without Anqi.
Ye Qichi suddenly felt emptiness.
Being alone with Xiao Jinxing just felt, very tedious.
"Do you have lice on you?" Xiao Jinxing’s face darkened slightly, "You can’t stop moving."
Ye Qichi glanced at Xiao Jinxing.
She was just a bit bored and fidgeted.
It wasn’t like she was constantly moving.
And what if she fidgeted a bit?!
This guy seed to be too nosy.
"Don’t disturb , this Prince wants to rest," Xiao Jinxing commanded coldly.
Then he closed his eyes, appearing to be ready to sleep.
"Do you want to lie down and sleep?" Ye Qichi asked.
"No," Xiao Jinxing refused directly.
"I can lend you my leg for a pillow, like last ti I slept on your lap, as a reciprocal gesture..."
"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing scowled, his voice raised, "Can’t you be a bit more reserved? You are a woman!"
"..." Where was she being unreserved?
She just thought lying down to sleep might be more comfortable, her kindness misunderstood as folly.
"Don’t seduce ," Xiao Jinxing said coldly again.
Ye Qichi’s eyes nearly popped out.
Which eye of his saw that she was seducing him?
Seducing him by letting her sleep on his lap?!
He must have a misunderstanding of the word "seduce."
"It’s useless," Xiao Jinxing added more when he didn’t receive a reply from Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi rolled her eyes.
This Xiao Jinxing, where did his confidence co from?
Did he think he was so handso that she would seduce him?!
Upon closer inspection, he was quite handso.
In the end, if it weren’t for that face, given her temperant, she might have disowned him for his terrible behavior, but because of that face... she compromised.
Ye Qichi’s gaze stayed on Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing, even with his eyes closed, could feel Ye Qichi watching him.
His heartbeat inexplicably quickened.
Yet he ignored it.
His voice cold, he said, "Keep staring and I’ll dig out your eyes."
"You only rely on that face of yours!" Ye Qichi shifted her gaze away.
Actually, many tis, she consciously suppressed herself from looking at Xiao Jinxing too much.
Sotis after looking too long.
It really could lead to so confusion of consciousness.
That ti when Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan kissed farewell at Pang Nan’s residence in Yuzhou City, she didn’t actually remain as indifferent as she appeared.
It wasn’t because of Xiao Jinxing, she had no feelings for him.
She just couldn’t accept it.
Xiao Jinxing, with that face, kissed another woman...
Ye Qichi sighed.
Thinking about it, she still needed to leave Xiao Jinxing sooner rather than later.
Ye Qichi beca quiet.
At this mont, Xiao Jinxing, on the other hand, felt sowhat uneasy.
He opened his eyes and glanced at Ye Qichi, seeing her turn her head, lifting the curtain in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside.
From her profile, Ye Qichi suddenly seed a bit sad.
Basically, he had never seen Ye Qichi like this before.
Usually, Ye Qichi appeared spirited and sowhat carefree.
Even when faced with a significant incident, she would not wallow in self-pity nor give up, but instead look for solutions.
In any case.
