“Why are you still here?” Su Qian walked up and asked.
“Yesterday, I had some matters to deal with in Wanxiang City, so I was delayed. Today, 1 heard that you were leaving, so 1 thought of inviting you to go back together.” Xiao Yan had already thought of an excuse and replied without even thinking.
“You came at the right time. I was just about to ask you, did you kill those two people that night?” Su Qian naturally referred to Ninth Elder and Tenth Elder.
Xiao Yan pretended not to know and said with a puzzled expression, “Which two? 1 can’t remember if you say it here. Why don’t we go to my carriage and talk slowly?”
Su Qian raised her eyebrows at his words and didn’t say anything. She pushed Xiao Yan out of the courtyard and left the sub-branch of the Blood Demon Pavilion’s main gate. Under the grat.i.tude of the sub-branch pavilion’s members, she boarded Xiao Yan’s carriage.
After setting in, Su Qian looked at Xiao Yan, who was sitting opposite her. “Do you remember now?”
“I remember now. I killed them on a whim,” Xiao Yan said calmly as if he had not just killed two sixth-rank experts, but some small fry that could be seen everywhere.
“I knew it was you.” Su Qian was not surprised by Xiao Yan’s answer at all. After obtaining the answer she wanted, she did not probe further and instead silently drank her tea.
Xiao Yan was equally calm, but he kept stealing glances at Su Qian.
The journey back was naturally less tense than the arrival. Su Qian sat in the carriage and leisurely headed toward their destination. The next evening, they finally returned to the imperial capital and arrived at the Su Residence.
After getting off the carriage, Su Qian took a deep breath and felt refreshed.
Although the food and accommodation in the sub-branch pavilion were very good, Su Qian always felt that something was missing. No matter how good other people’s territory was, it was not as good as her own. Only when she returned to her own home could she feel a sense of belonging.
Su Qian was about to enter when she heard a sound behind her. She turned her head and saw Xiao Yan getting off the carriage with her.
“Your Highness, it’s getting late. Your Highness should return to the Imperial Residence to rest.” When Su Qian saw Xiao Yan controlling the wheelchair and entering the Su family’s door as a matter of course, the muscles at the corner of her mouth could not help but twitch.
“I’m not tired,” Xiao Yan said and then disappeared without a trace.
Helpless, Su Qian couldn’t exactly chase him away when he escorted her back.
Thinking that it wouldn’t hurt to have Xiao Yan stay for dinner, Su Qian entered the main door and instructed the servants to prepare dinner. Then she headed towards the backyard where the children were.
When Su Qian arrived at the backyard, Xiao Yan was already playing with the two children.
In the courtyard, Su Ye and Su Qingqing stood behind Xiao Yan. They seemed to be very interested in the wheelchair he was in.
“I’ll push Ninth Uncle,” Su Qingqing said as she stood on her tiptoes and grabbed the armrest behind the wheelchair with great effort.
“Qingqing, you have to be careful. Don’t push it and fall,” Su Ye reminded worriedly.
“Brother, don’t worry!” As Su Qingqing spoke, she looked at Xiao Yan with a bright smile. “Then, Ninth Uncle, I’m going to push it now.”
“Alright.” Xiao Yan didn’t mind playing with the children at all. Qingqing was still young anyway, and he was curious for a moment. When she pushed him a few steps and she couldn’t move anymore, she would naturally stop playing.
Looking at Xiao Yan’s expression, it wasn’t difficult for Su Qian to guess what this man was thinking.
As Su Qingqing focused on acc.u.mulating strength, Su Qian suddenly had a bad premonition.
P.S.. Hey, dear readers, take a guess ~ Can Xiao Yan hide it from Qianqian?-
