ong as you can return safely, brother would be willing to cripple these legs." Chu Tianqi's gaze never left Xiao Yuge's face.The more he knew she was in trouble, the more heartbroken and regretful he..."You silly child, you can call for your mother anytime. Just go." Madam Xiao only thought she was being a naive child and didn't pay much attention to it.
Xiao Yu Ge turned her back, tears welling up and streaming down her face uncontrollably...
"Xiaotao, doesn't Ge'er seem a little off" Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Yuge's back, her willow eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The maid beside her curtsied and replied, "Perhaps Miss Er is reluctant to part with Madam."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but chuckle softly: "These days, Ge'er has truly changed. She's become much more sensible and well-behaved than before. Perhaps in the past, I had neglected her a bit too much."
"In fact, Second Miss has always been this kind and genuine, filial to her master and mistress. Her master and mistress are indeed fortunate."
"Well, what good fortune!" Lady Xiao's smile couldn't be hidden. Seeing Xiao Zhan stride in, she hurried to greet him: "My lord, you returned so early today. It must have been tiring."
"Well, there wasn't much going on in court today, so I came back a bit earlier. Tomorrow is Ge'er's coming-of-age ceremony, and there are still some things I need to discuss with my wife."
"Yes, Master!"
In their daily lives, Xiao Zhan and his wife treated each other with respect.
Xiao Yu Ge returned to her room and looked at the beautiful dresses that Xiao Fu had chosen for her. She couldn't help but cry again.
"Miss, what's wrong" Qingluo happened to be bringing in water and, seeing Xiao Yuge sitting by the table weeping, hurriedly put down what she was holding.
"Qingluo, if I'm ever gone from the mansion, you must take good care of Master and Madam." Xiao Yuge felt that it would be better for Qingluo to stay at Xiangfu than to go out with her.
"Miss, what did you say Where are you going Qing Luo will go wherever you go. Don't you want Qing Luo anymore" Qing Luo was so anxious, she almost cried.
"Qing Luo, staying here with me means only hardship. Father and mother won't mistreat you." She wanted revenge, which would inevitably bring many enemies. If she left Xiangfu's protection, her situation would be even more dangerous. Qing Luo following her would only lead to suffering for him.
"Qīngluò is not afraid of hardship! No matter where Miss goes, Qīngluò will follow. Miss, please, don't leave Qīngluò behind. Qīngluò can endure any hardship, please don't abandon me!" Qīngluò said, determined to follow Xiāoyǔgē wherever she went.
"Qingluo, you're following me. In the future, your life might be in danger. Aren't you afraid"
Qing Luo violently shook her head, her tone unusually firm: "Qing Luo is not afraid! As long as Qing Luo can follow Miss, even if it's going through knives and fire, Qing Luo is not afraid."
"Qing Luo..." Xiao Yu Ge was slightly touched. In her past life, she had caused Qing Luo to die tragically as well. This life, she only wanted to give Qing Luo a peaceful and stable life.
"Miss, no matter where you go, please take Qingluo with you. Qingluo guarantees that she won't cause you any trouble. Even if she dies, Qingluo wants to die by your side." Qingluo knew that in this mansion, only the Miss truly cared for her.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Yuge caressed her face: "Qingluo, follow me, won't you regret it"
"Qing Luo will never regret this!"
Xiao Yu's eyes flickered, she grasped Qing Luo's hand tightly: "Good Qing Luo, this lifetime, I will definitely protect you!" Last life, she couldn't protect Qing Luo. This life, she wanted revenge, and would also protect Qing Luo.
"Miss!" Qing Luo finally let out a breath of relief, wiping her tears and hugging Xiao Yu Ge.
"Alright, let's try on what we'll wear tomorrow."
"Good!" Qing Luo quickly wiped away her tears.
It was night.
Xiao Yu ge tossed and turned on her bed, unable to sleep. Thinking about leaving this home where she had lived for fifteen years tomorrow, her heart ached. She simply gave up trying to sleep, sitting alone by the back window, hugging her legs, and lazily leaning against her knees.
"I thought you were asleep, how did you get up again" At that moment, a familiar figure appeared beside her.
"Qian Tingxuan!" For some unknown reason, seeing him at this moment gave Xiao Yuge a strange sense of familiarity and reliance. She raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes sparkling like water, as clear as day.
She was in trouble, that look again. Usually she seemed capable and independent, but in front of him, she still had a rare childishness, naivety, and dependence.
"Come, here for a hug!" Qiantingxuan opened his arms wide, waiting to embrace the small figure.
Xiao Yu Ge didn't hesitate for a moment, burying her head in his arms. She really didn't want to admit it, but right now, she was truly heartbroken, so much so...
"What's wrong Are you nervous because your coming-of-age ceremony is tomorrow" His long hand gently stroked her jet-black and shiny hair, mistaking her nervousness for worry.
She didn't speak, she just hugged him tightly, relishing this warmth. Would this warmth be gone after tomorrow
"The moon is beautiful tonight. If you can't sleep, I'll take you for a walk. Where do you want to go" His soft voice was filled with endless affection.
"I thought about going to the moon," Xiao Yuge subconsciously pointed at the bright moon in the sky.
"Good!"
His always steady gaze held a hint of youthful exuberance. As long as it was where she wanted to go, he would definitely take her there.
Xiao Yu Ge didn't expect him to agree. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at him, and her waist suddenly tightened. She instinctively exclaimed, "Hey!"
Before she could finish her words, he scooped her up in his arms. Her cries mingled with the rustling wind, swaying within his embrace as he leaped into the air. Moonlight bathed them both, outlining a silver rim around them. He used light kung fu to carry her higher and higher, soaring closer and closer to the moon.
"The moon is so round and big!" Xiao Yu Ge opened his eyes, looking in astonishment at the enormous moon before him. However, fear gripped him, causing him to clutch his clothes tightly, afraid that if he let go even for a moment, he would fall.
Qian Tingxuan curled his lips into a light smile, lowering his gaze to look at the woman in his arms whose cheeks were flushed pink. His eyebrows and eyes were as captivating as if sculpted, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: "May we live long and together for a thousand miles."
No! He needn't wish, he wanted lasting, they could last forever; no matter how many miles, he would keep her, safe and sound in his arms......
They arrived at the summit, admiring the tranquility of this summer night. The distant mountains stood solemn, the twilight sky gently draped, stars twinkling, a cool breeze blowing past, wildflowers bordering the mountainside competing for fragrance, and the brilliant full moon on the horizon, smiling silently, listening intently to all the unspoken words of the world...
“Qianting, are you this good to all the women around you” she leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. People are always so contradictory, wanting to be unique, yet afraid of being just one among many beauties in your life.
"No! I only have feelings for you." Qian Tingxuan held her hand tightly, lowered his head and gently kissed her hair.
Xiao Yu ge heard the words and raised her eyes, wanting to confirm how much credibility there was in his words. However, she saw that his profile was as calm as water, his eyelashes slightly drooping, illuminated by the moonlight, making him even more lustrous and jade-like. She had to admit, he was truly handsome.
A gust of wind blew, her raven hair swirling and lifting, hanging perfectly with his black hair scattered across his chest. It was as if their fates had already intertwined, a bond unbreakable until death.ow had mixed reactions: some were angry, some were saddened, but Ning Zhiyuan just stared blankly into space, occasionally showing a hint of worry."Time is up! It's time for the execution!"As the exec...
