Chapter 1376: The Battered and Miserable Qing Zhu II
Feng Ruqing felt her heart tingle. She slowly closed her eyes…
In the past life, Che’er had been like this. When she was aggrieved and harmed, he would ignore everyone else and take her away from that house.
Even if they were not related by blood back then, and he was just a kid brought over by her stepmother…
But after meeting each other, they could never let go of one another.
Be it Che’er or Feng Chen, they were both her family that she could never part with.
“Chen’er, even if I get married in the future, you’ll always be my younger brother! No one can ever take your place.”
Feng Ruqing hugged Feng Chen again gently for a moment before letting go. “Chen’er, Father has prepared a prince’s manor for you, you can return to it later.”
Feng Chen was stunned. He seemed to be in doubt, but finally agreed to it. “Okay.”
He did not need a prince’s manor.
No matter where she was, that would be his home.
But, in the future… Once Feng Ruqing had someone else in her home, he would not be able to stay in the princess’s manor like he used to.
“I’ll take my leave now. If you can’t get used to staying in the prince’s manor, come and find me.”
Feng Ruqing smiled and patted Feng Chen on his shoulder before turning to leave.
Her dress fluttered in the wind, her magnificence was unmatched, her beauty was breathtaking.
Not far off, a man stood in the gentle breeze. His white robes swayed slightly. The man was gorgeous, yet cold as the moon.
He seemed to have sensed a familiar presence and turned slowly to see the young woman smiling at him.
“Nan Xian, were you waiting for me?” The girl’s smile was faint.
Nan Xian reached up to brush away the stray hair on her forehead. “Yeah. His Majesty was furious. I didn’t want it to affect his health, so it’s better for me to wait for you outside. But… if he wants to separate us, that will never happen! Once I, Nan Xian, have my eyes on someone, I will never let them go.”
Feng Ruqing giggled.
This man was normally so gentle and kind.
But when he was stubborn, he had quite a headstrong temper.
Yet… She loved this part of him so much!
“I am the same.”
To her, she would rather go without than to settle for something lesser.
Once she had set her eyes on somebody, she would never let them go.
Feng Ruqing squinted. “Nan Xian, since you now belong to me, I need to set down my rules.”
Nan Xian only kept quiet and stared at her with kind and loving eyes.
“Although I have never thought of taking responsibility, because of this child in me, I have to take responsibility for you too.” Feng Ruqing reached up to touch Nan Xian’s face. “But, if you make an unforgivable mistake… I’m not the type of woman who would just divorce you. Instead, I’d just murder the cheating couple.”
Feng Ruqing gave Nan Xian the once-over and smiled brightly. “Moreover, you look like you have a lot of inheritance I can take.”
For some reason, when he was faced with Feng Ruqing’s threat, it instead… delighted him more.
“I won’t do that.”
No one else could match up to her, so how could he go wrong?
“No one else in this world can rival you,” he added after a pause.
“And if there was?”
“There won’t be! I don’t know how other people would see it, but in my eyes, there never will be.”
His words were firm, allowing no room for suspicion.
“Of course I believe you, State Preceptor.” Feng Ruqing was full of smiles. “We shall wed in three months’ time, is there anything you want to say before that?”
Nan Xian pondered for a while before asking, “Could you… marry off the handmaidens around you?”
