After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Chen Shuhan was relentless, "I know Qingqing may not be able to accept me now, but I am willing to wait until Qingqing falls in love with me."

Xu Qingqing frowned. She didn't want to get entangled with Chen Shuhan anymore, so she turned around and wanted to leave. But Chen Shuhan grabbed her wrist and said, "Qingqing, don't leave. At least tell me why you don't like me? Is it because I didn't do something good enough? I can change."

Xu Qingqing struggled to get rid of Chen Shuhan's hand, "Mr. Chen, you are very good, but we are not suitable. A forced melon is not sweet, don't you understand this truth?"

After saying that, Xu Qingqing turned around and left without looking back. Her steps were firm and she didn't show any reluctance. She even walked faster and faster, as if there was a dog chasing her.

Only Chen Shuhan was left standing there alone, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.

Chen Shuhan couldn't understand why Xu Qingqing had no feelings for him, not even a hint of affection, when he was so outstanding, impeccable in appearance, talent and family background.

This is so irrational! But no matter how hard he thought about it, he still couldn't find the answer to the question.

half an hour.

"Playing hard to get!" Chen Shuhan clapped his hands and sighed helplessly. This Miss Xu is really...

Xu Qingqing returned to Lun Xiaoyao. At this time, Xiao Yuheng had already returned to the room. Seeing Xu Qingqing coming back, he looked at Xu Qingqing with a teacup in his hand: "How was it? Was it fun? Are you happy?"

His tone was full of jealousy and grievance.

Xu Qingqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly and glanced at Xiao Yuheng: "It's okay."

"Bang!" Xiao Yuheng put the teacup on the table.

Xu Qingqing propped up her chin and looked at Xiao Yuheng with a joking look: "Chen Shuhan wants to marry me."

Xiao Yuheng: ??? !!!

Xiao Yuheng's expression changed all of a sudden, and he stood up like a sharp sword out of its sheath.

Xu Qingqing held Xiao Yuheng's hand. Xiao Yuheng paused, then sat down obediently.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even finished what I was saying." Xu Qingqing picked up the teapot and filled Xiao Yuheng's cup first, then poured herself a cup.

"I refused."

Xiao Yuheng then picked up the teacup, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised under the cover of the teacup.

"But I feel like Chen Shuhan won't let it go."

The corners of Xiao Yuheng's mouth flattened again.

"I guess it's the prime minister's wife who has taken a fancy to my Lun Xiaoyao." Xu Qingqing picked up the teacup and played with it in her hand: "According to the news from Yeyinglou, the prime minister's mansion has suffered a lot of losses in recent years. It seems that she wants to find someone to fill this hole, so she has set her sights on me."

"But this Prime Minister's Mansion is really generous. They actually like me, a merchant girl whom they used to look down upon. Haha..."

Xiao Yuheng looked at Xu Qingqing who was sneering in front of him: "Since they have set their sights on you, they will definitely not give up easily."

"When enemies come, we will fight them; when floods come, we will block them with earth." Xu Qingqing lowered her eyes.

After saying that, Xu Qingqing thought of Zhao Chanjuan and looked at Xiao Yuheng jokingly: "What about you? Are you having fun with this beautiful lady?"

Xiao Yuheng's expression did not change: "No, her chattering is disturbing my ears. I let her go back on her own not long after we separated."

Xu Qingqing raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of teasing: "Brother Yuheng really has no sympathy for women."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuheng looked at Xu Qingqing intently: "I, Xiao Yuheng, will only pity one person in my life."

His eyes slowly wandered over Xu Qingqing's face, as if he was appreciating a beautiful painting. Noticing the slightly raised corners of Xu Qingqing's mouth, a hint of smile flashed in his eyes, as if he was moved by her little gesture.

Xu Qingqing's expression froze. She raised her head slightly and met Xiao Yuheng's gaze unexpectedly.

At this moment, she seemed to be attracted by an invisible force and was involuntarily immersed in those deep and gentle eyes.

The affection in the man's eyes is like a long stream of water, subtle and profound. His eyes are as deep as the night sky, as if they contain countless stories and emotions.

His eyes were full of cherishment and care for her, as if she was everything in his life.

This firm emotion moved Xu Qingqing deeply. She seemed to see the sincerity and commitment deep in Xiao Yuheng's heart.

Familiar...as if I've seen it before...

Xu Qingqing lowered her eyelids slightly, and was basically certain in her heart that Xiao Yuheng was the boy.

Xiao Yuheng was not disappointed when he saw Xu Qingqing avoiding his sight. He still gazed at her tenderly, his eyes full of tenderness, just like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, gently creating ripples, or like the first ray of sunshine in the morning light, warm and soft.

"Ahem." Xu Qingqing coughed lightly. Ever since that day when she made it clear, Xiao Yuheng seemed to have turned on some switch. How come he was so good at teasing...

"Has the news about King An been passed on to him?"

Hearing Xu Qingqing change the subject, Xiao Yuheng's eyes were full of smiles: "Well, I have asked someone to pass it to him."

Xu Qingqing nodded: "That's fine. Since the northern barbarians want to kill King An so much, it must be that King An has done something that threatens them. We can't let King An die before we find the reason..."

Xu Qingqing was playing with the teacup, her eyes deep and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Don't worry. If you don't want him to die, I will never let anyone take his life." Xiao Yuheng looked at Xu Qingqing and promised softly.

Although Xu Qingqing's eyes were turned vertically, the corners of her mouth could still be seen to be raised.

Here, Zhao Chanjuan, who had returned to the mansion, came to her senses: No, why am I back? Where is my handsome guy?

……

Ever since Chen Shuhan confessed his love to Xu Qingqing and was rejected that day, Xu Qingqing remained silent for two days.

But it’s only two days…

On this day, Xu Qingqing was counting the valuables on the second floor of Xiaoyao when she saw Xiao Yuheng standing aside with a very ugly look on his face.

Seeing Xu Qingqing looking at him, Xiao Yuheng adjusted his expression and raised the letter in his hand towards Xu Qingqing.

Xu Qingqing knew at a glance that this was the news from Ye Ying.

"Please count these jewelries carefully and give me the summary list later." Xu Qingqing gave the instructions calmly to the waitresses beside her, then turned and walked towards Xiao Yuheng.

"Yes!" the waitresses answered in unison.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?" Xu Qingqing saw that Xiao Yuheng's face looked strange and reached out to take the letter in his hand, but Xiao Yuheng quickly moved sideways to avoid her hand.

"what happened?"

Xiao Yuheng tightly grasped the letter in his hand, frowned, and said in a serious tone: "It seems that the Prime Minister's Mansion has set its sights on you. They will definitely not give up easily."

Xu Qingqing nodded. She already knew this. After all, once a wolf bites its prey, it will never let go easily.

"So what on earth made you so angry? This is the first time I've seen you having trouble controlling your emotions." Xu Qingqing touched her chin and began to speculate, "Could it be that they want to kidnap me to get married? Or do they have something that can threaten me? Or... do they plan to use some despicable means against me?"

Xu Qingqing came up with one guess after another. When she said the last one, Xiao Yuheng's expression changed slightly.
