Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

After a while, Xiao Qing calmed down and remembered that Xu Feng, whom she had just mentioned, was clearly scheming against Yu Nuan. So Xiao Qing glanced at Yu Nuan cautiously and said softly, "Miss, aren't you angry?"

"Why should I be angry?" Yu Nuan asked in confusion.

"It's Xu Feng's behavior; he's scheming against your feelings."

Upon hearing this, Yu Nuan smiled and said indifferently, "Didn't you not agree? Besides, it doesn't affect me at all, so why should I be angry?"

The next morning, Xu Feng came to apologize to Xiao Qing. At first, Xiao Qing refused to see Xu Feng, but in the end, after being persuaded by Yu Nuan, she came out and explained things to him.

"What are you here for?"

Xiao Qing asked expressionlessly.

"Xiao Qing, it's really my fault, please forgive me! I couldn't sleep at all last night, look how bad my dark circles are."

Xu Feng spoke pitifully, hoping to gain Xiao Qing's sympathy.

As expected, upon hearing that Xu Feng hadn't slept all night, Xiao Qing immediately showed concern on her face, "What were you doing yesterday? How come you didn't sleep all night?"

“I didn’t mean to upset you. Seeing you sad made me regret it so much that I couldn’t sleep. I really regret saying those things and making you angry. Xiao Qing, please forgive me! I’ve made up my mind. I will propose to Miss Jiang today and marry you.”

"What?" Xiao Qing's eyes widened in surprise when she heard Xu Feng say he wanted to marry her. This was the first time they had discussed marriage, and the sudden mention caught Xiao Qing off guard. She stood there stunned for a long time without saying a word.

"Xu Feng, you've frightened Miss Qing."

Wang Qingming, who was listening to the conversation between the two, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.

"Lord Wang, what are you doing here?" Xiao Qing was quite surprised to find Wang Qingming there as well.

"You only have Xu Feng in your eyes, how can you see anyone else?" Wang Qingming joked with the two of them.

Xiao Qing glared at Xu Feng, blaming him for not reminding her earlier.

Xu Feng felt extremely wronged. It was Xiao Qing who hadn't noticed the adult behind him, so why should he be blamed for not reminding her? When he saw Xiao Qing, all he wanted was for her forgiveness; he hadn't thought of anything else.

"Xiao Qing, is your young lady home?"

"exist."

"Can you take me to her? I have something to tell her."

Xiao Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Alright, Lord Wang, please wait here for a moment. I'll go and tell Miss."

Xiao Qing knew that Yu Nuan had been avoiding Wang Qingming, so even though Wang Qingming said he had something to discuss with Yu Nuan, Xiao Qing still asked Yu Nuan first and let her decide whether or not to see Wang Qingming.

"Miss, Lord Wang is looking for you."

"Wang Qingming, he's here too." Yu Nuan was a little surprised, but still followed Xiao Qing into the hall.

"Miss Jiang."

"Sir, what business do you have with me?"

“Miss Jiang, I’ve come to see you today for two main reasons. One is that I may be transferred back to the capital at the beginning of the year.”

"That's great." Yu Nuan was genuinely happy for Wang Qingming when she heard that he was being transferred back to the capital. Being transferred back to the capital meant a promotion, which was a good thing for Wang Qingming.

"This is all thanks to you, Miss Jiang. If you hadn't found a treatment for this plague so quickly, I wouldn't have been promoted. I should thank you properly."

"My lord, this is all thanks to you." If it weren't for Wang Qingming's concern for the people and his decisive action in sending people to control the epidemic when Yu Nuan informed him of its outbreak, thus supporting Yu Nuan's decision, the epidemic would not have spread so severely.

"Miss Jiang, may I call you Yu Nuan like everyone else?"

"My lord, please just call me Miss Jiang!" Yu Nuan understood Wang Qingming's thoughts and refused directly.

Hearing that Yu Nuan was unwilling to be close to him in the slightest, Wang Qingming was still very saddened, even though he had expected it.

Yu Nuan could see the hurt in Wang Qingming's eyes, but she felt that if she didn't refuse him completely now, she would really be hurting him.

After a short while, Wang Qingming composed himself and smiled at Yu Nuan as always, saying, "Miss Jiang, you have made a great contribution this time, so the Emperor will reward you. However, the capital is too far from here, so the reward has not yet arrived. I only received the news from home."

Wang Qingming was also puzzled as to why the reward had arrived so late. Just when he thought the emperor had forgotten about it, news finally came from home.

Wang Qingming's reward was a promotion and a return to the capital. As for Yu Nuan's reward, Shen Mu was actually in a dilemma, not knowing what to give her.

"My lord, you know I don't care about these things. But I still want to congratulate you and hope that you will stay true to your original intentions."

Wang Qingming looked at Yu Nuan. He didn't want to hear these things, but the words he most wanted to hear were probably not what Yu Nuan would say at this moment.

"Miss Jiang, if I were to invite you to return to the capital with me, would you be willing?"

“I don’t want to, sir. You know me. I’ve always been used to a carefree life and can’t go back to the way things were.”

Yu Nuan shook her head and refused, her earnestness burning Wang Qingming. But Wang Qingming still refused to give up and assured Yu Nuan, "Miss Jiang, I promise you that you will still be free in the future. I will support you in whatever you want to do. Will you give me this chance?"

Yu Nuan shook her head again, "My lord, you don't need to waste your feelings on me. You will definitely find your own happiness in the future."

Now Wang Qingming finally understood that he might never be able to make Yu Nuan fall in love with him in his entire life. He was filled with despair and lowered his head, afraid to look at Yu Nuan, lest he reveal his emotions.

"Okay, I understand. Miss Jiang, I wish you a smooth life ahead and that you find the life you want." After a long while, Wang Qingming said softly.

"Thank you."

"By the way, there's another thing I wanted to talk to you about. It's about Xiao Qing and Xu Feng. I'm going back to the capital at the beginning of the year, and Xu Feng will be leaving with me. So I'd like to ask you to help Xu Feng ask for Xiao Qing's hand in marriage. Xu Feng truly loves Xiao Qing, so I hope this couple can become a couple."

"I can't make this decision for Xiaoqing. Besides, it's too sudden. Let Xiaoqing think it over carefully before giving you an answer."

"Okay, I understand. I'll take my leave now."

Wang Qingming's departing figure looked somewhat lonely, which was heartbreaking to see.
