The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

The Chinese Valentine's Day came quietly. Lu Qingxi received a letter from Wuhen a few days ago. In the letter, Xiao Yuebai invited her to release river lanterns together. Thinking that the tassels she had made for him were finished, she was proud and agreed. Song Yi also heard all this. Although he felt a little lonely, he did not stop it. He knew that Xiao Yuebai had deep feelings for his cousin, so how could he have the right to interfere with their meeting. Old Madam Song saw it and looked at her lonely grandson with heartache, but she was helpless.

That evening, Lu Qingxi and Xiaohuan quietly slipped out from the back door. They could have gone through the front door, but Xue Ji's persistent figure had been waiting at the door. She didn't want to see him, so she had to avoid him. However, she didn't notice that there were several uninvited guests following her.

Xiao Yuebai sneaked out of Fahua Temple for this date, wearing a mask on his face, for fear of being recognized. When he saw his beloved in front of him, although she was wearing a veil, he still thought she was intoxicatingly beautiful.

Lu Qingxi spread her palms to Xiao Yuebai, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. Xiao Yuebai looked at her, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, not knowing what she meant by this. Lu Qingxi smiled and explained: "Didn't you ask me for the ears of corn? I made the ears of corn for you with my own hands, don't you want them?" Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of seeking credit.

Xiao Yuebai's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He quickly took off the precious jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Lu Qingxi carefully. Lu Qingxi took the jade pendant, strung the tassels lightly and skillfully, and then handed it back to Xiao Yuebai.

Xiao Yuebai took the tassels, his eyes full of love. He couldn't let go and stroked the tassels, as if he could feel Lu Qingxi's love and warmth. Although the tassels were just ordinary peace knots, they looked particularly beautiful in his eyes. He gently stroked the tassels, with a satisfied and happy smile on his face.

Afterwards, Xiao Yuebai carefully hung the jade pendant back around his waist. Lu Qingxi looked at him and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

The two of them then picked lanterns together. Xiaohuan had already decided that Xiao Yuebai was her young lady's future husband, so she naturally wanted to give them a chance to be alone, so she went back home first on the pretext of having a stomachache. When Lu Qingxi heard this, she asked Xiaohuan to go back and rest.

The two strolled in the bustling market, the colorful lanterns were like stars in the night sky, dazzling. Lu Qingxi was wearing a light pink dress, which fluttered gently in the wind, and every step she took was graceful and elegant. She was selecting lanterns with great interest, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and joy.

Xiao Yuebai followed Lu Qingxi silently, his eyes fixed on her the whole time, watching her carefully selecting lanterns, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that being able to spend this Chinese Valentine's Day with her was his greatest happiness today.

Lu Qingxi picked up a rabbit-shaped lantern and shook it gently. The rabbit's ears swayed, looking playful and cute. She smiled and said to Xiao Yuebai: "This lantern is so cute, what do you think?" Xiao Yuebai smiled and nodded, his eyes full of pampering: "As long as you like it."

Then, they saw a lotus-shaped lantern, with petals stacked up one after another, as if a real lotus was blooming before their eyes. Lu Qingxi was attracted by the exquisiteness of the lantern. She gently stroked the petals with admiration in her eyes. Seeing this, Xiao Yuebai asked softly, "How about this lantern?" Lu Qingxi looked up at him, with a gleam of joy in her eyes, "This one is also beautiful, what do you think?"

The two of them picked lanterns and chatted, enjoying this rare quiet time. Lu Qingxi had a slender figure, which naturally attracted a lot of attention, but Xiao Yuebai was so powerful that people dared not approach him. After they finished picking lanterns, they walked towards the river. When they walked onto the bridge, a few beggars suddenly bumped into them, and the two of them quickly protected them. Lu Qingxi gently said to the beggars, "You all have to be careful." Then she let them leave.

This voice happened to reach Xiao Ruixuan, who had come to celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day with Lu Shiyao. The voice was like a breeze blowing on his face, which moved his heart. He turned around and saw several women. He was a little flustered and hurriedly looked for the source of the voice. After a while, his eyes were fixed on a woman wearing a veil. The back of her made him sure that it was her! The one encounter at the White Horse Temple made her live in his heart! I must not miss it again today!

He was about to chase after her when he felt his sleeve being pulled. He turned around and saw that it was Lu Shiyao. He then remembered his purpose today, but how could he let his beloved leave again? So he ordered the guards to stay and escort Lu Shiyao back to the mansion, and he got up to chase the woman. When Lu Shiyao saw him leave, she felt relieved. She didn't want to go out with him in the first place, and now she was even more glad that she could go back to the mansion alone.

The first two people arrived at the riverside. There were all kinds of lanterns floating on the river, like stars, reflecting their faces. Xiao Yuebai was about to take out the fire stick in his bag to light the lantern, but suddenly found that his jade pendant was missing. His face changed, and he was anxious. That was the tassel that Qingxi had made for him personally, which was of great significance.

Recalling the time when he just passed by a group of beggars, Xiao Yuebai had a bad feeling. It was very likely that those beggars stole the jade pendant while he was not paying attention. He took a deep breath and decided to find the jade pendant and not let Qingxi's kindness go to waste.

"Qingxi, wait here for me. I'm going to find something and will be back soon." Xiao Yuebai said softly to Lu Qingxi, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Lu Qingxi nodded. She understood what Xiao Yuebai meant and did not ask any more questions. She just waited quietly for his return.

However, what they didn't know was that the group of beggars were actually sent by King Qi's subordinate A Jin. Their real purpose was to inform the secret guards to wait for Lu Qingxi to be alone and take the opportunity to murder her.

While Lu Qingxi was waiting alone, a figure quietly appeared behind her. The man seemed to want to push her into the water, but just as he was about to do so, a figure flashed out and hugged Lu Qingxi tightly in his arms.

The veil fell from Lu Qingxi's head, revealing her beautiful face. At that moment, Xiao Ruixuan was stunned. A feeling of joy rose in his heart. It was indeed her! He had seen this woman in the White Horse Temple before. From that moment on, her figure was deeply imprinted in his heart. He didn't expect that he would actually meet her again here.

"Miss...Miss, I actually met you in the White Horse Temple. I fell in love with you at first sight...I am actually the crown prince of this dynasty. You can consider me." The prince spoke incoherently, his heart filled with excitement and anticipation.

However, when Lu Qingxi heard the other party claiming to be the prince, the gratitude in her heart immediately disappeared. She struggled to break free from the prince's arms, with a bit of unfamiliarity and courtesy on her face.

"Thank you for saving me, sir." Lu Qingxi said lightly, her voice no longer having the previous gentleness and kindness.

At this moment, Xiao Yuebai appeared in front of them. He held Lu Qingxi in his arms without saying a word, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He looked at the prince with vigilance and hostility, as if he was ready to take action at any time.

Lu Qingxi felt the strong aura emanating from Xiao Yuebai and the fact that they were too close to each other. He felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to quickly distance himself from her.

However, the situation in front of her made her feel a little awkward and uncomfortable. She didn't want to continue to linger here, so she said dryly: "See you again if we are destined to." After that, she turned around and left with Xiao Yuebai, without leaving any name or clues.

The prince looked at the two people's backs as they left, and a sense of inexplicable loss and melancholy surged in his heart. He wanted to get up and chase them, but then he thought of the woman's sudden change of expression after hearing his identity, and his thoughts were confused for a moment. When he calmed down a little, he looked forward and could no longer see the woman's figure.
