Chapter 649 Red Ears

Chapter 649 Red Ears

Long Qian Xing didn’t wait for Nan Hua to answer and straightened his body. He turned around. “Grandmother should have finished by now. Shall we go back?”

Nan Hua raised her head and saw Long Qian Xing’s ear was a bit red. She couldn’t see his expression from this angle, but she also didn’t want to make things awkward for him, so she hummed in response.

”Mhm. Okay.”

With that, Long Qian Xing led the two of them to walk through the stone path.

Nan Hua followed behind him, her steps slow and steady. It felt a bit strange to hear Long Qian Xing said those words to her so clearly. After all, all of his affection should have fallen to the female lead.

Old Madam Long’s eyes lit up when she saw the two of them returned. “You’re finally back. It’s time for lunch, so stay for a while before Hua’er go back.”

”Yes, Grandmother.”

”Yes, Grandmother.”

The two of them answered one after the other.

Hearing them echoing the same answer, Old Madam Long laughed faintly. The two of them were really cute. She really couldn’t wait for the two of them to grow up so that she could see even more of their interaction.

The lunch was simple and the three of them ate without speaking to each other. However, Nan Hua noticed that Long Qian Xing was also pushing some of the dishes towards her. Those were the dishes Long Qian Xing had seen her eating back in Nan Family Residence back then.

Nan Hua paused for a moment then looked at the dishes in front of her. She knew one of them was Long Qian Xing’s favorite, so she slowly pushed the dishes towards his direction without looking at him.

’These two, are they treating me as if I’m invisible?’

Old Madam Long’s mouth twitched. She could still notice their small gesture because she was eating at the opposite side of the two youngsters. However, she felt rather gratified because it meant that their relationship was quite good.

There were a lot of matchmaking that ended up pretty bad. Nan Shu Cheng was the best case for that.

Old Madam Long was a bit worried that these two would end up like that.

But seeing the gaze on her grandson’s eyes and their little interaction, she knew that she could put that worry away. At the very least, the two of them could interact harmoniously. As for how much of those feelings were real and how much were fake, she wouldn’t pry that much.

It was up to them to settle it themselves.

Soon, they finished eating the lunch.

”Do you like the food, Hua’er?” Old Madam Long asked.

Nan Hua nodded. “Grandmother’s people are really good. The dishes taste really good.”

”That’s good to hear.” Old Madam Long looked at her servant and smiled. “Reward the kitchen staffs.”

”Yes, Old Madam.”

The maidservant curtsied and went away to deliver the news. She was sure that every single time Nan Hua came here, the kitchen would certainly double their effort in cooking. If they could cook well, they would be getting more reward.

Tsk, tsk, why did it seem that Old Madam Long was trying to build Nan Hua’s prestige even before she entered the residence?

Long Qian Xing naturally understood the underlying meaning behind his grandmother’s move, but he said nothing. He cupped his fist. “Grandmother, I still have to head to the palace in the afternoon. Let me walk Hua’er to the gate first before I leave.”

Old Madam Long nodded. She still had to finish dealing with some matters regarding those concubines. It would be unsuitable for Nan Hua to stay here either way.

”Alright, be careful on your way.”

”Yes, Grandmother.”

They exchanged pleasantries as they stood up. Long Qian Xing took a wooden umbrella from the servant and opened it up, using it to shield Nan Hua from the scorching sun. It was midday and also the time when the sun was the hottest. Staying under the sun wouldn’t be pleasant.𝗇𝑜𝒱𝑬𝓛𝑵𝞮xt.𝓬𝒐𝑀

As they walked, Nan Hua looked at the umbrella. She had already trained under the sun for unknown number of hours. It wouldn’t affect her that much.

”Brother Long, I’m not that weak.”

Long Qian Xing chuckled. “I know.”

”Then the umbrella…”

”Even if you’re not weak, is there any need to cause any discomfort for you?” Long Qian Xing asked in a faint voice. “I want to protect you, so that you wouldn’t feel even the slightest bit of discomfort. Will you allow me to do so?”

Long Qian Xing’s words were low and seemed to carry a hint of seduction. It caused those who hear it to be unable to reject his request.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes then hummed lightly, her voice as soft as mosquito, “Okay…”

Looking at the young girl beside him, Long Qian Xing’s smile deepened. If only this was not the ancient world, he would have done even much more than only shielding her from the sun.

The two of them continued to walk side by side until they reached the gate. Xiao Yun was already waiting not far from the carriage. When she saw the two of them, she paused for a moment and felt that the sight was really challenging her mentality.

’Miss, didn’t Young Master already said that you’re not allowed to get too close to any male?’

’That naturally include your fiancé, okay?’

Of course, Xiao Yun didn’t dare to spout it out loud and could only weep internally. She knew that any words would be useless to Nan Hua because she didn’t even listen to whatever words she would say.

Forget it.

The two of them didn’t even touch each other. She would only remind Nan Hua again in subtle way when they got back.

”Brother Long, I’ll go back first.” Nan Hua curtsied elegantly and turned around. Her movement were proper and carried a trace of softness that seemed to be very suitable for a girl of her age.

Long Qian Xing watched as Nan Hua entered the carriage before looking away. It was time for him to return to the palace and settle some problems.
