The beasts of burden galloped along the vast road.
Inside the carriage, Sun Qian and Su Keke sat in each other's arms, with the latter's head resting on the former's chest, looking as adorable as a clever little cat. Their ten fingers intertwined, giving off an air of great sweetness.
After the battle at the rear of Lining City, the two people communicated their hearts with each other, saying all the things they had been suppressing in their hearts.
They first met ten years ago, and it could be said that they fell in love at first sight. However, because of the gap in their status and position, Sun Qian was too afraid to express his true feelings. As for Su Keke, she was more reserved and shy, and she also dared not speak up.
He didn't say, and she didn't either.
For ten years, they quietly accompanied each other in silence.
Without that battle to the death, perhaps they would still be stuck in their impasse.
After going through such an experience, Sun Qian also saw through it. No matter what, he could not stop himself from being with Su Keke. Even with the vast gap in their status and position, he would have to step by step bridge the distance...
"Qian brother, we are finally together. I am so happy."
Su Keke lay in Sun Qian's arms, speaking in a delicate voice that was much softer than before, a stark contrast to the previous her.
Indeed, love can change a person.
"Coco, you can rest assured that we will always be together. Once we complete this mission, back to the Hanhai Empire, I will go to your father to propose marriage, and then we will get married."
"Qian brother, you're so good. I'll wait for you..."
As she spoke, a pair of melancholic eyes staring at her intently appeared in front of her, and the words she had almost said were swallowed back. She awkwardly turned her head to look at the person in front of her.
Sun Qian was startled and also turned his head to look at the man in front of him, "Well, Chen brother, do you have anything"
"It's not about me having an issue, but about the two of you being alright. In public, can't you be a bit more considerate of your image?"
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and looked somewhat displeased. He had returned from Lin City two days ago, and they had specially taken a beast carriage to have enough time to rest. They did not expect that he had eaten dog food for two days straight.
Originally, the group was sitting in one beast carriage, but later, because they couldn't bear the couple feeding each other dog food in public, Pei Jiangnan and Gao Tianlang switched to another beast carriage; Li Yueyue and Ning Xin even waited outside on the pretext of driving, avoiding seeing it.
The person sits at home, and the food falls from the sky...
"Hmm, Chen brother, if one can control their feelings, then what is the need for the heart? We two have experienced many hardships and obstacles over the past ten years. It took a long time to finally be together. You should understand this... Oh right, Chen brother is now alone, living by himself. I'll explain it to you..."
"Stop, I don't want to hear you say that."
Chen Mo raised his hand to stop Sun Qian from continuing. What explanation was it, but to recount their love story? On the journey back from Lin City, he had heard it several times already. After hearing it, he would then have to endure more of their public affection, and he was tired of it.
Chen Mo pulled back the carriage curtain and looked at Li Yueyue and Ning Xin, who were driving. The two of them also turned around and gave him a sympathetic and bitter smile in return.
"Master Chen, the carriage is full. You'd better stay inside quietly."
"Li Yueyue hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth to say."
Chen Mo glanced at it, the driver's seat of the beast carriage was not spacious, and he would not be able to get out of it. Unless he squeezed in, but Li Yueyue and Ning Xin were both girls, and their relationship with him was not very familiar. It would be suspicious for him to squeeze in, and he would not go into this muddy water.
"I won't go out. You two come in."
Chen Mo turned to look at the couple behind him, "You two, go out."
Moments later, Li Yueyue and Ning Xin finally got into the carriage as they wished, sitting comfortably.
"Finally free from those two, and no longer have to endure the wind outside."
Li Yueyue collapsed onto the wide bench and lied down without any hesitation.
Ning Xin sat on the other side, although she was not as unconventional as Li Yueyue, she sat in a carefree manner. The driver's seat had no backrest, and after sitting for two days, she was quite tired.
Chen Mo no longer had to endure the dog food and comfortably leaned back against the cushion, ready to take a nap. Suddenly, a delicate voice of Su Keke's came from outside.
"Qian brother, it's so cold here."
"Coco, don't be afraid. Just lean on me and I'll give you warmth."
"Qian brother, you're so good. Unlike the elders, they actually made us two come out to catch the wind, which is really..."
"Coco, you don't need to be concerned. Think about it, Chen brother is a bachelor. Seeing us together, he might feel envious and jealous."
"That's right, that is so pitiful of the elders. For so many years, he is still a bachelor."
...
Chen Mo: (╬ ̄ ω ̄)
Li Yueyue: (｡◕ˇ∀ˇ◕)
Ning Xin: (￣y▽￣)~* covering mouth, sneaking a smile
"Master Chen, please don't get angry. With your conditions, it shouldn't be difficult for me to find a girl I like."
Li Yueyue sat up slowly, then stared at Chen Mo in a gossipy manner, and asked: "When I was still the emperor's personal maid, I once saw her hang your portrait in her palace... Is there an extraordinary relationship between you and the emperor?"
As soon as the words fell, Ning Xin, who was still giggling, immediately stopped and looked at Chen Mo curiously, pretending to listen attentively.
"What do you mean by 'non-ordinary'?"
Chen Mo did not answer directly but instead asked the other person.
"That's right, it's like that... I heard that when you were young, you saved the emperor's life and became his favorite. The emperor might have fallen in love with you at first sight..."
"Yueyue, you're not allowed to say that. The emperor is determined to revitalize our sect, expand our territory, and achieve greatness. How could he be a woman obsessed with love and romance..."
Ning Xin raised her eyebrows and immediately countered.
Li Yueyue opened her mouth to retort but was glared back by Ning Xin's fierce eyes. Helplessly, she turned her gaze to Chen Mo for help.
Chen Mo sighed lightly, "I saved Wuxin initially, only wanting to give her a home..."
As soon as the words fell, the carriage curtain was immediately pulled open, and Sun Qian's lecherous head poked out, laughing: "Brother Chen, I heard that all the prostitutes in the brothel say it like that to their customers."
Li Yueyue was slightly surprised and covered her mouth in shock; Ning Xin's face turned cold, and her phoenix eyes narrowed with hostility as she stared at Chen Mo.
You can't talk and nobody will think you're mute... Chen Mo twitched his mouth, then shouted, "Sun Qian, how do you know so much? Do you also like to go to brothels?"
"What? Sun Qian, did you also go to brothels?"
Su Keke immediately raised her voice, and then her small figure leaned forward, tugging tightly on Sun Qian's ear with both hands, "Give me an explanation."
"Aah, no, Coco, listen to me explain. I really haven't gone, don't believe what Brother Chen is saying... No, stop pulling my ear."
"Wait, what's that up ahead..."
