1983 Young Master Lin, Do I Look Good?
Chu Liuyue’s gaze slightly shifted as she looked at Yan Qing, who was walking out from the corner of the street ahead. According to Rong Xiu, Yan Qing went to send those people from the Sky-Cloud Empire out of the city today.
Some time ago, Rong Xiu had secretly dispatched many people from the Sky-Cloud Empire because he had expected the Nan family to make a move. Now that everything was settled, it was meaningless for them to stay here.
Rong Xiu let them go back, leaving only a very small portion.
Unexpectedly, they met coincidentally.
Yan Qing walked over.
Xiao Ba’s back was facing him. When she heard his name, she couldn’t help but freeze.
Although she didn’t turn around, she could still hear the approaching footsteps. She subconsciously clenched her fists.
“Greetings, Princess Consort.” Yan Qing stood still and bowed respectfully.
He was standing beside Xiao Ba and Lin Zhifei, not far away.
From the corner of her eyes, Xiao Ba could see a tall figure in black. For some reason, she was very nervous.
“I just sent the last group of people away,” Yan Qing said.
Chu Liuyue nodded.
Yan Qing had always been straightforward.
“Your Highness, this is…” Seeing that they seemed to have some plans, Yan Qing thought about it and asked.
Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up slightly. “It’s nothing; it’s just that there’s something going on at the entrance. I plan to take a look for myself, but I’ll be back soon. Just continue with your work.”
Yan Qing responded. Then, he turned his gaze and looked at Xiao Ba and Lin Zhifei, who were standing at the side.
Xiao Ba could even feel his gaze sweeping past her body!
Her entire body tensed up. For a moment, she didn’t dare to look up and meet Yan Qing’s gaze.
However, Yan Qing’s gaze didn’t pause at all. It was like flowing water.
“So it’s Young Master Lin.” Yan Qing nodded slightly.
Lin Zhifei returned the greeting politely. “Greetings, Lord Yan Qing.”
Yan Qing naturally knew that Lin Zhifei was Chu Liuyue’s subordinate. After greeting him, he didn’t ask further and bade farewell before turning around.
It was only when his figure disappeared from Yue Manor’s door that Chu Liuyue suddenly thought of something and turned around to look strangely. Just now… Yan Qing didn’t seem to have greeted Xiao Ba. Furthermore, he simply nodded at Cen Yi.
Moreover, it seems that Xiao Ba didn’t want to talk to him, so he didn’t say anything…
The two of them had a conflict to begin with. Perhaps they are still fighting… Chu Liuyue thought to herself.
Yan Qing wasn’t a petty person, and he looked very open and honest. On the other hand, Xiao Ba seemed a little awkward ever since Yan Qing came over.
The reason why Yan Qing didn’t take the initiative to greet her was probably that he was worried about it making Xiao Ba even more unhappy.
Although he was quiet and had a cold personality, he had always been very smart. Otherwise, Rong Xiu wouldn’t put him in an important position.
Chu Liuyue rubbed her glabella, feeling a headache coming on. In the end, she decided to throw all these things to the back of her mind. Forget it. Although Xiao Ba is occasionally a little spoiled and willful, she always knows her limits. Even if she has some conflicts with Yan Qing, with Yan Qing’s ice-cold personality, Xiao Ba will probably feel that it’s meaningless after being treated coldly for a period of time.
“Let’s go and take a look at the entrance.” Chu Liuyue walked forward.
Cen Yi and Lin Zhifei followed closely behind.
On the other hand, Xiao Ba stood rooted to the ground, seemingly in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
After walking for a distance, Chu Liuyue realized that Xiao Ba didn’t catch up and turned around to call her again. “Xiao Ba?”
Only then did Xiao Ba come back to her senses. “Hmm? Oh, I’m coming!”
As she spoke, she walked over quickly. But this time, she didn’t stand by Lin Zhifei’s side and instead followed Cen Yi obediently.
Chu Liuyue looked at her thoughtfully. After a moment, she retracted her thoughts and turned to head toward Peach Blossom Dock’s entrance.
…
On the other side, Yan Qing returned to Yue Manor.
His footsteps were calm, and his handsome and cold face was expressionless. However, there seemed to be tiny ripples in his eyes.
“Yan Qing? Yan Qing!” A familiar voice sounded.
Yan Qing looked up.
Yu Mo had appeared in front of Yan Qing and was looking at him with a puzzled expression. He waved his hand in front of the latter’s eyes. “What are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed!”
Yu Mo came with the Sky-Cloud Empire soldiers a few days ago, but he kept a low profile and didn’t appear in front of everyone. Even in Yue Manor, there were many people who didn’t know of Yu Mo’s existence.
Most of the time, he was only responsible for reporting the outside news to his master before passing down the order.
Because some of these things were rather hidden, he deliberately reduced his presence. However, this was already the inner courtyard, and this was Yan Qing’s residence. Ordinary people wouldn’t come here, so Yu Mo came out directly.
Yan Qing walked around him. “Nothing.”
Yan Qing’s personality had always been cold, and he might not even be able to reply to three questions. Yu Mo was already used to it.
However, his state… was really a little strange!
The two of them had been colleagues for many years and knew each other very well. Yu Mo was sure that something had happened to Yan Qing!
He quickly followed. “Didn’t you send people off today? Could it be that something didn’t go well?”
Yan Qing looked at him indifferently and didn’t say anything. However, the meaning was very obvious.
Yu Mo scratched his head, also feeling that this guess was too ridiculous.
Those who went to send them off were all from the Sky-Cloud Empire. Yan Qing has a noble status, so those people wouldn’t dare to be rash. Then… there doesn’t seem to be any other reason?
Ever since the Princess Consort won the battle with Yi Wentao, the atmosphere in Peach Blossom Dock hase become very lively and cheerful. The unity and faith of the people in the city has already exceeded my imagination.
There is no need for us to interfere. Everything at Peach Blossom Dock is developing in a better direction.
The Princess Consort is in a good mood, and so is His Highness. In fact, he was even more amiable to us!
What’s there to worry about on such a good day?
Yan Qing walked to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down. His eyes were slightly lowered as if he were thinking about something.
Yu Mo walked over and poured himself a cup of tea. “We’re all brothers. Just tell me if you have any difficulties. Why are you being so polite between us?”
These words seemed to have moved Yan Qing. His heart skipped a beat as he looked up at Yu Mo.
Yu Mo was drinking tea.
The fragrance of the tea was rich and refreshing.
Yan Qing was Rong Xiu’s confidant, and he was treated very well in Yue Manor. San San specially ordered people to deliver many good things.
Yu Mo was still lamenting when he heard Yan Qing suddenly say, “Do you think Young Master Lin… is good-looking?”
“Pfft—” Yu Mo spat out a mouthful of tea! Instantly, tea splattered all over his body, but he couldn’t care less now!
He widened his eyes and looked at Yan Qing in horror. “What did you say?!”
