How dare a concubine who is fleeing be so arrogant?

Yan Niang's face suddenly darkened!

She gritted her teeth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Not only have you snatched the gold and jade mask from me, but you're also trying to throw dirty water on me. You really are bullying me."

Finally, Yan Niang glared at the shopkeeper and said, "I will not give up on this!"

Finished talking and left.

The shopkeeper didn't take it seriously at all. The person with the number badge was carrying it here, so what was there to be afraid of?

He only told the waiter, "Go and help Miss Song wrap it up."

The waiter was in awe of Miss Song. She was treated so respectfully by the shopkeeper who always thought highly of himself and was even given the number one nameplate.

But in fact, Song Xiwan had no idea what was going on.

After the waiter left, Song Xiwan asked the shopkeeper, "I wonder what's going on with this nameplate?"

The shopkeeper said bluntly, "This was transferred to Miss Song by Prince Xuan."

Song Xiwan was stunned, "The prince is here?"

"She's waiting for Miss Song in the private room. She said she'll take you there after you've made your selection."

The shopkeeper had a smile on his wealthy face, and his eyes seemed to see through everything, but he was very sensible and did not ask about the details.

Song Xiwan turned her face away slightly to cover up the fleeting awkwardness.

They haven't seen each other since they left Prince Xuan's Mansion that day.

What a coincidence that we met today?

At this time, the waiter wrapped up the gold-inlaid jade mask and asked, "Miss Song, have you chosen one? I'll have someone deliver it to your house for you."

"I haven't picked out a birthday gift yet."

Song Xiwan suppressed the turmoil in her heart and decided to calm down before going to see Xie Chengqian.

The guy didn't ask any more questions and continued to recommend it to her enthusiastically.

Song Xiwan glanced at him and interrupted calmly: "It doesn't have to be so expensive."

The guy was surprised.

The shopkeeper reminded her at the right moment, "Miss Song, don't worry about the money. Each of these nameplate owners has deposited money in our bank. For a piece like this, you can buy the entire third floor."

Song Xiwan paused, actually a little shocked.

Xie Chengqian is so rich?

She didn't even know about her previous life!

"No, I'm going to pick one on the first floor."

Song Xiwan was very determined that the old lady was not worth her spending such a large sum of money.

The shopkeeper couldn't stop it.

Song Xiwan finally picked out a calligraphy and painting at random, asked the waiter to wrap it up properly, and then followed the shopkeeper to the private room.

As he got closer, Song Xiwan's heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

"咚咚-"

As soon as the knock sounded, the door opened.

Xie Chengqian stood at the door with a stern figure, and his oppressive dark eyes slowly softened when he saw Song Xiwan.

Song Xiwan didn't expect that he would come to open the door in person.

The shopkeeper's face trembled, and he quickly made an excuse to leave. "Your Highness, the person has been brought here. I will withdraw first. Call me again if you need anything."

This is not right!

What the prince did today showed that he placed Miss Song at the top of his heart!

The rumors about gay men a few days ago were pure nonsense!

Song Xiwan's wrist was suddenly grasped by Xie Chengqian, and then he pulled her inward, causing her body to fall forward involuntarily, until her waist was supported by his big hand and her face was pressed against his chest.

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Shhh."

Xie Chengqian placed his fingertips on her red lips, stopping her from speaking.

This subtle touch made Song Xiwan feel a little hot all over, and her heart beat so fast that she suspected she would faint at any time.

There were very light footsteps outside, and a low voice, "I clearly saw her walking this way. Is she in the private room?"

I'm afraid it's Yan Niang's people.

A cold look flashed in Song Xiwan's eyes. How could he be so unable to control himself just for a gold and jade mask?

Fortunately, Mu Yun heard the noise and came back, so the two men did not break in.

Song Xiwan withdrew her thoughts and looked up to tell Xie Chengqian about Yan Niang, but she bumped into his chin, and their breaths intertwined.

Song Xiwan only then realized that they were still hugging each other!

A little pink appeared on her porcelain-white face again. She wanted to push Xie Chengqian away, but his hand seemed to be fixed there, not moving at all.

"Your Majesty?"

"I sent a message to you, why didn't you reply?"

Xie Chengqian stared at her solemnly, with a hint of grievance in his voice.

This distance already made Song Xiwan's mind race, and when he stared at her and questioned her like that, she simply couldn't handle it.

letter?

Yes, I always ask her if she is free to go to the palace.

Song Xiwan has been dreaming about the ambiguous scene from that day lately. She can't go see him again, but she doesn't know how to refuse him, so she just pretends not to see him.

Who knew Xie Chengqian would ask in person!

Song Xiwan coughed lightly and asked guiltily, "Is there a letter? I didn't see it. Maybe the servants forgot to give it to me."

"No? That means they are incompetent and should be punished."

Xie Chengqian seemed to believe it easily and took his anger out on the servants.

Song Xiwan's eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly said, "It's just a small matter. There's no need to be so rude. Who hasn't made mistakes? Your Highness, why don't you tell me what you want to talk to me about?"

Her words were full of panic and guilt.

Xie Chengqian did not expose it.

He focused on the last sentence and murmured in a deep voice, "If I did something wrong, would Xiwan forgive me like this?"

Song Xiwan was stunned, and looked up to meet his bottomless pupils, which seemed to be mixed with struggle, regret and sadness.

In fact, they both seemed to realize that the other had memories of past lives, but no one mentioned it.

Those three years were more painful than beautiful for them.

Song Xiwan lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment before he said, "Your Highness has always been an upright person. How could he be wrong?"

It’s not wrong not to love someone, after all, their marriage was arranged.

She was wrong, mistakenly thinking that Xie Chengqian had killed her.

"No, I was the one who was wrong all along."

A cold smile appeared on Xie Chengqian's lips, and loneliness was deep in his eyes.

He shouldn't have left her alone in the palace, shouldn't have thought he had made the choice for her, shouldn't have...

Those regrets caused him immense pain day after day.

Fortunately, there is still a chance to start over.

Xie Chengqian rolled his throat lightly, "Xiwan, we..."

"Your Majesty."

Song Xiwan suddenly interrupted.

She raised her bright eyes and forced a smile, "I just saw the Prince of Qi's concubine downstairs. Do you think I should tell my father about this and have him arrested?"

What happened in the past is over, and Song Xiwan doesn't want to pursue who is right or wrong anymore.

Xie Chengqian seemed to feel guilty towards her and still wanted to get married in this life, but she didn't want to force herself to be together out of guilt.

If there is a chance in the future, she would still prefer to cancel this marriage. There is no need to repeat the same mistake.

Besides, Song Xiwan didn't want to hear an apology.

She has given her love, and it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t get the same return. The worst that can happen is that she can just refuse it.

Xie Chengqian froze.

He could understand what Xi Wan meant, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Song Xiwan took the opportunity to push his arms away and said, "I suspect she has another identity."
