small hand and pulled it hard, pulling this woman's body tightly into his embrace. 。He was tall and handsome, while she was thin and petite. 。This embrace was very warm, and there was a hint of securi..."Thank you." A voice, cold and emotionless, came from behind.

Qin Nianxia slightly tilted her head, and from the corner of her eye, she saw this man already lifting the covers to get out of bed. She hurriedly turned around to stop him, "Hey hey hey! Why are you getting up It's so late, you should just rest well!"

"Thank you for the medicine. I won't bother you further." Leng Yanchen said politely yet distantly.

Qin Nianxia couldn't help but laugh when she heard him say that: "It's really something to hear you call me Your Excellency. Think back then, every time it was you calling the shots for me, saying I was stupid."

Leng Yanchen was instantly stunned, looking at Qin Nianxia.

"Stop pretending, I already know who you are, Mr. Big Shot." Qin Nianxia smiled faintly.

It was only then that Leng Yanchen understood what Alwa had meant that day.

It turned out, her feelings for him had returned to the starting point.

"Why aren't you speaking" Qin Nianxia raised her hand and waved it in front of Leng Yanchen's eyes.

Cold Yanchen came back to his senses, shifted his gaze from her, and stood up: "I have something to do, I'll leave first."

"Wait!" Qin Nianxia reached out to stop him, pointing with her finger to Alva who was sleeping soundly on the nearby chaise longue, "I think you should stay here tonight! Your girlfriend seems really tired!"

Girlfriend

Leng Yanchen subconsciously looked at Alva lying on the noblewoman's chair.

She was indeed sleeping soundly, after all these days following him around she hadn't slept well.

These days, they have been carefully replacing the maidservants and guards in the palace. With a slight misstep, the whole army could be wiped out.

"She's not my girlfriend." Leng Yanchen explained coldly.

Qin Nianxia couldn't help but feel a sense of secret joy when she heard this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curving into a faint smile.

"Not your girlfriend, huh!" she murmured to herself.

"Just leave her here! I'm going!" Leng Yanchen put away the medicine bottle she had just given him, and bent down to put on his shoes.

Qin Nianxia walked forward and asked, "If you need help, just tell me."

"I don't need your help." Leng Yanchen didn't dare to look at Qin Nianxia, he could only cast his gaze aside, pretending to be cold and ruthless as he refused.

"You don't have to be polite with me, we are all..." Qin Nianxia spoke halfway, then suddenly covered her mouth and retched uncomfortably.

Cold Yan Chen's heart tightened, the pretended coldness he had just put on vanished instantly. His voice became anxious as he asked, "What's wrong Are you feeling unwell somewhere"

Qin Nianxia waved her hand and then patted her chest, choking back a sob as she replied: "No, no problem! It's just that I have severe morning sickness..."

“I, I……” Leng Yanchen was flustered for a moment, stammering for a long time before uttering a sentence, “I’ll bring you some sweet and sour fruits next time, or, whatever you want to eat, I’ll buy it for you.”

"Poof," Qin Nianxia couldn't help but laugh, "I just have morning sickness, what are you so nervous about"

"I'm not nervous." Leng Yanchen suddenly felt a little guilty. He had been so nervous just now.

Qin Nianxia suddenly thought of something, leaned towards Leng Yanchen's face, and asked with a smile: "Guess who the baby in my belly belongs to"

" "..." Leng Yanchen was stunned, his eyes flickered constantly. After a long while, he replied with heartache, "Yan... Yan Shanglu!"

Qin Nianxia's smile gradually faded.

Even Leng Yanchen said she was carrying the child of the Prince.

Yes, in her memory, the only man she had ever been intimate with was Yan Shanglu.

But she felt that she wouldn't cross the line and do this kind of thing with the prince before they were married.

"You stay here and get a good night's sleep tonight. We can deal with anything tomorrow." Qin Nianxia patted Leng Yanchen's arm cheerfully, then turned and walked towards the side hall.

She would just sleep on the sofa in the side hall.

However, she went to the side hall but did not go to sleep on the sofa. Instead, from the side door of the side hall, she went to the library.

She didn't know why she was looking into books about death centipedes.

Unknowingly, she found herself sitting on the ladder, a growing pile of books beside her.

In this bedroom, Leng Yanchen sat at the head of the bed, closing his eyes to meditate. However, the bedding was filled with Qin Nianxia's scent, making it impossible for him to rest peacefully.

Just close my eyes, and my mind is filled with Nian'er's image.

Seeing the black spot on his palm again, a ripple stirred in his heart, which had been placid for so long.

It turns out he didn't want to die either, did he

He wanted to grow old with Nian'er, and he yearned for a future filled with children and grandchildren.

He also wanted to send Xing'er off to her marriage with his parents.

But these are all illusions, they are his wishful thinking…

He can't stay here any longer, staying any longer...

He will also have his moments of emotional breakdown.

In a moment, Qin Nianxia heard the sound of the door opening.

She instinctively put down the book in her hand and ran after him. Under the moonlight, she only saw a tall and slender back walking out of the gate of the Holy Maiden's Pavilion.

Qin Nianxia knew whose back that was, but in the end, she only watched from afar and didn't call out to him.

Because she knew, he was like the wind, she wanted to grasp him, but she couldn't...and proactively changed the subject: “Didn’t you say you were going to have a candlelight dinner I want that kind of candlelight dinner with a pianist.”"Don't you usually play the violin" Leng Yanchen...
