Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Li Yuan turned his head to look at Wei Qiqi and said softly, "No."

He said it so firmly, and the emotion in his eyes was so intense that she didn't even dare to look at him.

So many times, every time she asked a question, she always got the same answer, and she was never able to face Li Yuan's feelings directly.

She fully understood that she and Li Yuan could no longer maintain the status quo.

She couldn't bear to watch Li Yuan's silent contributions, nor could she turn a blind eye to what he did.

It was only at this moment that Wei Qiqi realized that she could no longer treat Li Yuan as the little treasure she had raised. In her eyes, Li Yuan was a man, a man with desires and feelings.

She seemed destined to walk into an elaborately woven net. She knew it was a trap, but there was no other way to go.

"I see."

Wei Qiqi said something in a low voice, she turned around, and after a while she turned her head to look at him again.

"Wait until you reach adulthood, okay?"

"I'll give you an answer then."

"Until then, how about we maintain the status quo for now?"

Li Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a dark shadow passed through his eyes, so fast that Wei Qiqi didn't even notice it.

She only saw Li Yuan's eyes becoming brighter and brighter, and then he smiled. That smile was extremely happy and bright, and very contagious.

He couldn't help but take a step forward and asked in disbelief, his voice a little hoarse: "Do you know what you mean?"

Wei Qiqi looked up at him, "I know."

It means to consider.

Seriously, consider her relationship with Li Yuan.

They walked to the garden. It was spring, and all the flowers that could bloom had bloomed. Those that had not bloomed had sprouted branches and stretched out their buds.

This garden is sparsely populated. Because the flowers planted there are relatively delicate and precious, servants never pass through the garden and always take a detour.

Before they knew it they were walking into the garden.

The layers of flowers and plants concealed people's figures, which made it convenient for Li Yuan to move.

He suddenly approached, hugged Wei Qiqi and pushed her to the other side of the garden where she was out of sight.

He had a handsome face and even a bit of inhumanity, but he was completely different towards Wei Qiqi. He leaned very close to Wei Qiqi.

She stepped back, somewhat unable to bear the aggressiveness of Li Yuan.

There was something hard against her lower back, which she guessed was some twig or branch in the garden.

The sharp pressure prevented her from retreating.

"Li Yuan!"

If she stepped back any further she would fall into the flowers, but Li Yuan didn't stop.

Just as she was about to fall, the breath that was so close to her suddenly disappeared, and then an hand came around her shoulders and another hand wrapped around her waist, and her whole body was stuffed into Li Yuan's arms.

The two figures overlap.

A hug.

Li Yuan was too tall, and when he held Wei Qiqi in his arms, Wei Qiqi barely reached his neck.

She felt a little uncomfortable during the hug, but her lips touched a piece of smooth skin.

Her body froze immediately. The two figures were too close to each other. She could feel the warm skin touching her lips and face, and the sound of her chest vibrating.

It was unknown how long it was before Li Yuan let Wei Qiqi go.

He took a few steps back and straightened his coat which was tilted on his shoulders. His eyes had regained their calmness and even had a faint smile.

The madness that had overflowed before was cleverly avoided through the hug, and he returned to normal in front of Wei Qiqi.

"Do you want to stay at the City Lord's Mansion tonight or should I take you back?" Li Yuan asked. His voice was not normal, a little hoarse, and sounded inexplicably ambiguous.

"You have to leave tomorrow. You won't be able to bear the running back and forth today."

Wei Qiqi said, then she avoided Li Yuan's gaze and said: "I came here to see you off."

What he did was dangerous, and since it was somewhat dangerous, she still wanted to send him out.

"Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so you must be careful."

Li Yuan nodded in response.

"Don't worry about me. While you are away, just send your people to guard the mansion. I will not leave the mansion."

"You don't have to. If you feel depressed, just..."

"I want you to be completely at ease. Only when you have no worries can you focus on your work." Wei Qiqi said as he walked forward.

She didn't want to show weakness in front of Li Yuan, and her heart was beating fast.

It made her feel a little ashamed and embarrassed.

"I'm staying at the City Lord's Mansion tonight. I'll just pick up a room and it will be fine. When do you leave tomorrow?"

"Leave before daybreak, and go out under cover of darkness to avoid being seen."

Wei Qiqi nodded.

Then he kept asking if I had enough food and if I had warm clothes.

Li Yuan answered them one by one and explained some of them in detail.

Afterwards, Li Yuan asked people to clean up his room and also clean up the room next to it.

Wei Qiqi was asked to sleep temporarily in the house where he was staying temporarily in the City Lord's Mansion tonight.

The servants cleaned up quickly, especially Li Yuan's room which was cleaned up first.

When she stepped into the room, it was very plain, without any decorative items. Only a small package and a sword that Li Yuan was going to take away were placed on the table.

His armor is made of the same material as the soldiers', but the style is relatively more grand and without those complicated patterns.

Wei Qiqi stroked the armor, looking at its weight and design.

I think this outfit is quite suitable for Li Yuan. He has a wide shoulder, narrow waist and a perfect body proportion. Strictly speaking, any piece of rag can make him look good in it.

Apart from the standing armor and the packed bundle on the table, there was no decoration or other things in the room.

Like sleeping in model houses and inns, just passing the night is not life.

Li Yuan glanced around and went out to give instructions. When Wei Qiqi turned around, the servants outside came in one after another.

Some people hang calligraphy and paintings on the wall, while others place potted flowers and plants in appropriate places.

A bedspread was hung above the bed, and the screen behind it was also moved in.

Wei Qiqi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What are you doing? Why did you move these things in for no reason?"

"It's not so lonely here, and you feel comfortable looking at it."

Li Yuan said, and personally moved a flower pot that was placed in the wrong place to the right place.

"Just one night. I'll go back home tomorrow."

"fine."

This excessive attitude made her speechless for a moment, and in the end she could only smile.

Li Yuan had explained everything to her in great detail before, covering all aspects, so as soon as it got dark Wei Qiqi urged her to go to bed to recharge her energy.

At first, she couldn't sleep because she could always think of some of the heart-pounding intimate things Li Yuan did with her from time to time.

I finally fell asleep in the second half of the night.

In a daze, she felt as if someone was squatting in front of her and touching her face with his hand.
