When De Ning saw that they could live alone, he also asked Queen Yan to move out, but was rejected.

"Your coming-of-age ceremony hasn't arrived yet. Also, after your coming-of-age ceremony, you'll have your wedding. You..."

"Mother, I don't want to get married!"

The person that De Ning likes always avoids him. He is very depressed now. He even doubts whether he has nothing to show for himself except his status and no one likes him.

"De Ning, you are the youngest of several children. I have basically not restricted you in these years, but you cannot get married casually. Do you understand?"

Her child was so good, but the woman actually refused many times. Queen Yan was very unhappy about this. Seeing his stubborn expression, Queen Yan sighed helplessly.

"De Ning, that woman has no interest in you. As long as you are willing, there will be people who are a hundred times or a thousand times better than her flocking to you. Why can't you figure it out? How can someone with that status be your princess?"

"Mother, others are very good, but I just don't like them. I just like her. I just said it, I will win her heart by myself, you and father are not allowed to interfere."

After De Ning finished speaking, he bowed and left. Queen Yan held her forehead helplessly, somewhat regretting that she had been too lenient with him over the years.

De Ning didn't look very good, and he was distracted frequently when talking to Ying Hui and the others.

"Brother, what's wrong with you today? You look absent-minded. Is that young lady still ignoring you?"

Ying Ni also covered her mouth and laughed.

"My brother, every time he looks at a girl, his eyes are reluctant to move away. If someone looks at me like this, I would not like it either."

Han Jing and Han Su pretended not to hear and looked at the scenery outside the house. They had returned to their own home for the past two years. It was not that it was inconvenient to live in Qin Xingfu's house, but they had grown up and had to have a sense of propriety.

"You are so brave to make fun of my brother."

Dening gave each of them a slap on the head.

"Alas, Qin Yue and the others all have their own mansions. When can I have my own mansion?"

"Let's get married~"

As long as the members of the royal family get married, they can be the head of the family. Ying Ni supported her chin and looked at De Ning, and De Ning's face darkened in an instant.

If he could get married, he would have done it long ago, but the person he liked didn't like him at all, and she always avoided him.

"Forget it, I'll go out for a walk."

De Ning unconsciously came to where Xinyi was. He walked to his usual seat and saw the two brothers Qinshan and Qinchuan coming to pay.

He was about to stand up and say hello to them, but he saw the person he liked smiling at the two of them, radiating happiness from the inside out. For some reason, De Ning felt angry.

Why? The person he tried so hard to please was unwilling to smile at him, but was willing to smile at other people. Suddenly, his blood boiled. De Ning walked over to the few people and stared at them with a bad face.

Qin Shan and Qin Chuan greeted him with a smile, but De Ning did not respond to them. Instead, he looked at them with a strange look, and then kept looking at the girl.

"Mr. Qin, this is the change. If there are still people in need of singing and dancing performances in the mansion, I will give you some discounts next time."

The girl smiled and gave them the change. Qin Shan felt that De Ning seemed to have misunderstood something, so he tugged at the corner of Qin Chuan's clothes and signaled them to leave.

Qin Chuan understood what he meant, bowed to De Ning and left. When the girl saw the two men leave, the smile on her face gradually faded and she bowed to De Ning helplessly.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Fang Yuaner, I..."

Before De Ning could finish his words, the girl interrupted him.

"Sir, I cannot accept your kindness. Please be merciful and let me go."

Being rejected once again, De Ning felt completely broken. He had never experienced such a setback since he was a child.

"That year, I really wanted to find someone to save you, but later I heard that you were rescued."

"Sir, don't mention it again!"

That painful time was her lifelong nightmare. She is doing well now, with her biological parents and brothers and sisters-in-law who love her. Why do you have to tell her what happened in the past?

Fang Yuaner took a few deep breaths and suppressed her anger.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm not blaming you. I just don't want to recall the past. I'm fine now. You are a noble, and I'm just a commoner. I'm not worthy of you!"

Fang Yuaner bowed and left in a hurry. De Ning felt bad when he saw her in pain. He didn't mean to expose her scars. He just wanted her to remember him. Obviously, she only had eyes for him at that time and expected him to help her, but in the end, it was not him who helped her!

Qin Chuan walked out of the store and asked Qin Shan in confusion.

"Brother, what happened to Dening today? It's as if we stole his things."

Qin Shan looked at him speechlessly.

"You really don't care about anything. Ying Hui and the others said that Dening has a favorite woman who has always rejected him. Today's girl should be her. We should not go to that woman from now on."

In order to avoid being targeted by others, my mother said that when you don’t have the ability, you have to protect yourself.

They will be eighteen in a few years, but they still don't quite understand why Dening is so cautious in trying to please others.

"Oh, I remember now."

Qin Chuan looked as if he had suddenly realized something, then shook his shoulders.

"I'm speechless. Mom is right. Love can make people lose their minds. It's terrible. Let's go back and practice martial arts. When we are 18 years old, we can join the army."

Love and other things are not important at all. They are not as important as leading troops to fight.

Qin Shan's mouth twitched, and he felt that his brother had something wrong with his brain.

The two of them didn't take this little matter to heart at all.

The New Year atmosphere gradually faded away, the winter snow melted, all things began to revive, and after a few spring rains, the earth was green again.

Outside the city, Qin Xingfu and his family saw off Qin Yue and his sister Queen Qin who were about to go on a long journey.

"Baby, don't feel bad about spending money on this trip. I'll give you all my money. Even though it's getting hot now, the temperature difference between morning and night is still quite large. You should dress appropriately..."

Ying Bu kept talking, but Queen Qin was not impatient. She was curious about exploring the outside world, but also reluctant to leave her family.

"Dad, I know. You do the same. You dig things all the time. Don't try to dig heavy things. Watch out for your waist."

One time he insisted on moving something and ended up spraining his waist, and she went over to help take care of him.

When Ying Bu heard his daughter say this, he almost burst into tears. Qin Xingfu patted his shoulder and said to Queen Qin.

"Be careful along the way."

Yue Xin had already given all the necessary instructions last night and was just waiting for the children to leave.

"Sister, let's go!"

Qin Yue couldn't wait any longer, he could finally fly out of this place and soar freely!
