"Three months’ time... should be enough for Qin Ye to settle everything."
He had that confidence.
By then... he didn’t believe that they both wouldn’t have made any progress in three months.
If that were the result, it would mean he was truly inpetent.
"Just drop us off at the next town," Rong Yan suddenly said, startling the contemplative Qin Ye.
"...Didn’t we agree to..."
Before he could finish, Rong Yan interrupted him, "I agreed last time because we were heading towards Beijing, and because you were injured... But now it’s different."
As Rong Yan spoke, she paused for a moment before continuing slowly, "Your wounds have mostly healed now, and besides, you’re not alone... There’s no need for us to stay together, and most importantly, you’re being hunted."
Her words were very direct.
It silenced Qin Ye who had been about to persuade her, swallowing the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Yes, he was being hunted.
Really dragging her into it... would indeed be very bad.
Moreover, with her abilities, she could lead a peaceful life... but with him, they would temporarily be subjected to meals in the wild.
He was quite clear about all of this in his heart.
Rationally speaking, he should find a safe town... and settle her in.
But he really didn’t want to be rational.
Because he didn’t want to be separated from her for even a moment.
His eyes surveyed her expression; seeing she was serious, and she had made up her mind, his voice turned somewhat hoarse, "...Okay!"
Hu Dao, who sat at the front driving the carriage, naturally heard the conversation inside.
Upon hearing his master agree with Miss Rong, he felt a bit anxious.
However, with his position... whatever the master agreed to, as a subordinate, he naturally had no business interjecting.
Rong Yan had her own plans.
It was mainly because Rong Jin was young and needed to study.
Therefore, a stable place was necessary.
After Qin Ye uttered that ’okay,’ he was silent for quite a while.
Then he spoke, "The next town is Ningping Town, but it’s still too close to here, and as far as I know, that town may not be safe either, Miss Rong... How about this, we search for a town that’s a bit farther from here... and paratively prosperous... What do you think?"
He ideally wanted her to stay with him.
He couldn’t quite voice that desire.
Rong Yan looked at him, considered for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay."
Hearing her say that, Qin Ye felt a great sense of relief in his heart.
This way, they wouldn’t have to separate within a short time.
The carriage rattled along the official road, and Rong Yan had thought they would soon encounter assassins. However, they hadn’t met anyone by the time it got dark.
She looked doubtfully at the person sitting opposite her.
Seeing his beloved look at him in such a way, Qin Ye instantly became nervous, "What’s wrong? Are you hungry? The next town should be close."
Earlier at noon, they had eaten something simple, which Rong Yan had prepared on the mountain before.
But Qin Ye didn’t want to promise for dinner as well, so he planned to go to a restaurant to get something good to eat when they reached the next town.
He didn’t want his beloved to suffer with a subpar meal.
"It’s okay, I’m not hungry." Even if she was hungry, she had food.
Rong Jin also quickly added, "I’m not hungry either."
Sister had prepared some cakes for him, and he had been nibbling them along the way.
