Chu Jingchen looked a little confused, thinking he had misheard, and asked, "Duo'er, what did you say?" His voice was deep and magnetic. It was very nice.

Yi Duoer's brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes gleamed with silver light, like a deep lake filled with pity and pity. She pursed her lips and continued:

"Rumors spread that you went up the mountain to learn skills as a child, and defended your country and the people of Qi Dynasty as a teenager. Outsiders only see your glamorous appearance, and that you weren't able to grow up happily in your parents' arms! You must have dealt with your illnesses, injuries, and unhappiness on your own, right? You must be lonely and fragile, Seventeen, you're so pitiful!"

Yi Duoer looked at him with tears in her eyes. Chu Jingchen felt a strange feeling in his heart when he heard this. In the eyes of others, he was indeed an invincible god of war and a hero of Qi Dynasty.

Before he met her, he was lonely, but he was not fragile.

Chu Jingchen was about to speak, but Yi Duoer had already placed her fingers on his lips to comfort him, saying that she would never let him feel lonely again.

Her next words made Chu Jingchen smile involuntarily. Now, it seemed that he could not live without her.

"It's your parents who are a little bit cruel. I feel sorry for you!" Yi Duoer continued to add, feeling dissatisfied.

Chu Jingchen's eyes couldn't help but look up at the roof, lost in memories.

He only remembered that when he was seven years old, his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress, had always had a very good relationship. Later, for some unknown reason, they had a fierce quarrel. His mother was the successor to the late emperor.

Then not long after, he was forcibly sent to the mountain by his father to follow his master!

Later, he heard that his mother's family was raided for treason and his mother disappeared. For so many years, he could not find any trace of her.

After listening to his recollection, Yi Duoer really wanted to pick up what he had just said. This is also a poor child,

Gradually, Yi Duoer raised her hand and yawned, fatigue gradually showing on her face. In less than ten seconds, she fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, Chu Jingchen looked at the woman in his arms, the soft light in his eyes seemed to soften into water. The feeling of holding his beloved made him feel extremely happy and contented, and he was glad that he would no longer be alone.

His kiss fell on her black hair, and then he fell asleep in her arms!

early morning--

Because Yi Duoer slept too late last night, Chu Jingchen had already tidied up her appearance, and she was still asleep. At this time, two maids pushed the door open with washbasins in their hands.

They walked into the house respectfully, and when they saw the two people inside, their expressions became surprised. But they dared only to bury their shock in their hearts.

They were just slaves. They dared not speak or ask about their masters' affairs. They could only keep their heads down and do their work!

A maid came to Yi Duo'er's bed and wanted to wake her up. Chu Jingchen raised his hand and made a "hush" gesture to them, and said softly: "Don't wake Duo'er, go down first!"

The two maids received the order and quietly retreated, closing the door without making a sound.

Chu Jingchen sat back on the bed again, looking at the sleeping Yi Duoer reluctantly. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and tenderness stretched between his brows.

When Yi Duoer woke up, he found that there was no one beside him. After he left, Qiu Chan had been guarding here and heard any movement.

"Where's Seventeen? Where did she go?" Yi Duoer looked at Qiu Chan and asked, her tone slightly anxious!

Qiu Chan, with a gossipy expression on her face, approached her and asked anxiously, "Miss, the master left early this morning. Why are you in the master's room? What about you last night?..."

When Yi Duoer learned that he had left, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, and the look of loss was all over her face, "Nothing happened between us last night!"

Yi Duoer explained this and got up to wash up. Qiu Chan had a pure and puzzled expression on his face, thinking to himself, she has already thrown herself into my arms, is the master still trying to learn from Liu Xiahui?

Yi Duoer asked Qiu Chan to get someone to help her with her makeup. She hadn't been to the factory for a long time. Although someone was taking care of it, she still had to worry about it.

The news of Chu Jingchen's departure from the capital spread like wildfire, which made some people start to get excited again.

Yi Duoer is now fully invested in the Yuhua Factory. She wants to further optimize sanitary napkins, but she needs a material that is softer than cotton: sponge! In ancient times, this kind of material was very difficult to find.

You need to go to the seaside and see if there are any fishermen who can collect it. If the optimization is successful, then sell it specifically to those wealthy families, and you can increase the price five times!

It seems that she has to go to the largest coastal port in Qi Dynasty, Haizhou City.

After thinking it over, he told Qiu Chan beside him, "I'm going to Haizhou City and ask Yu Shu to help manage this shop. Since you know martial arts, come with me!"

Qiu Chan agreed without hesitation, but asked Yu Shu to come back. She was worried that the girl would have some bad intentions again, so she strongly refused Yu Shu to get involved in Yu Hua's business.

Yi Duoer was puzzled. Why was Qiu Chan so wary of Yu Shu? Didn't she know that she was her personal maid? This made Yi Duoer feel unhappy.

Alas, there was really no other way, so she let Yu Shu go with her. Qiu Chan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yi Duoer.

Qiu Chan could only settle for the second best and let Yu Shu manage the store first. This was better than her staying with Yi Duoer.

As the two were talking, Xie Xingchen walked into the store with a sunny smile on his quiet face.

"Duo'er, are you done with your work? I want to treat you to a meal!" He started to invite her as soon as he entered the room. He walked up to her, resting one hand on the table. He added with a playful expression:

"How is it? Will the beautiful Duoer do me a favor?"

From the moment he entered the room, Yi Duo'er's pretty face was already filled with smiles. She asked with concern, "Didn't I tell you to rest well? Why are you out?"

Xie Xingchen was relieved by her care. He was completely healed.

So, they went to the same barbecue restaurant they had eaten at last time, but this time, Qiu Chan came along too. Yi Duoer couldn't help but let out a playful laugh.

"Xie Xingchen, why is it that every time we meet, we are either having dinner or on the way to have dinner! We can really eat together." Yi Duoer joked.

Xie Xingchen, who was sitting opposite her, solemnly stated that they were indeed destined to be together. Then he looked up at Yi Duoer with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"I will go back to Dongli tomorrow. After this separation, I don't know when we will meet again! I really hope I can always have dinner together with you." He is very good at stirring emotions, and his sad tone can also move others to become sad with him.

His meaning was very clear. As long as she followed him to Dongli, he would give her all the titles and positions except the position of Crown Princess.
