Why Do You Care?

“En…… yesterday, it was Jing Lang who saved me. Do you know him?” Feeling the scorching breath on her neck, Jing Yue’s body somewhat turned rigid. She didn’t dare to budge.

“Jing Lang?” Xiao Chen raised his head. He looked at Jing Yue with a slight frown on his eyebrows saying, “He actually returned to the capital?”

“En? You know him?” Jing Yue asked staring at Xiao Chen and blinked her eyes. She doesn’t know why, but Jing Yue always had a kind of familiar feeling towards Jing Lang. She couldn’t help wanting to know more about this person because of this feeling.

“He’s Jing Zhan’s son. If it wasn’t because there is Jing Lang, maybe the second master of the Prime Minister’s Residence would have already gotten rid of Jing Zhan a long time ago.” Xiao Chen moved his body to a sitting position with his hand, s.h.i.+fting his gaze towards Jing Yue saying, “Jing Lang had been guarding the northern gate. He is a general that has power over three armies.”

Jing Yue’s eyes widened as she sat up, saying in astonishment, “A? He? A General?”

Looking at Jing Lang’s appearance, he absolutely didn’t look like a general at all. He looked like……

Looked like what?

Jing Yue also didn’t know.

“En, when he was ten years old, Jing Lang already went to the battlefield, going on expeditions almost everywhere for more than ten years. Now he is a general, guarding the northern gate and has power over three armies. This time he suddenly returned to the capital. I’m afraid he came because of the matter on the heir selection.”

“More than ten years ah……” there was a faint amazement in Jing Yue’s eyes. She hugged her knees while staring at Xiao Chen who was putting his clothes on and asked, “So for more than ten years, he never came back to the capital? What about his father?”

“More than a decade ago, who wouldn’t know of Jing Zhan’s name? Although now both of his legs are crippled, but he isn’t some waste. He has established himself in the capital for so long without the slightest intention to retreat. The second master of the Prime Minister’s Residence has been fighting him for the house master position, he has been fighting for more than ten years and he is still only a stand-in house master.” Xiao Chen said indifferently while fastening his belt.

“Waa (wow)…… it sounds like he is very formidable……” Jing Yue’s eyes widened in surprise with a bit of joy.

“But…… Why do you suddenly care about the Jing family?” Xiao Chen asked looking at Jing Yue, furrowing his brows in annoyance.

Jing Yue’s heart went slightly panic being stared at by Xiao Chen’s examining gaze. She hastily said, “That…… good or bad, that person had saved me. Shouldn’t I at least know who he is?”

Having heard Jing Yue’s words, Xiao Chen slowly withdrew his gaze. He stood up and crossed his hands behind his back before staring at Jing Yue saying, “I’ll send someone to check yesterday’s matter. Take several guards with you if you want to go out. I’ll be very busy for the next few days, if you want to find me, just let Xing Er go and find me.”

“A…… O……” Jing Yue said while staring at Xiao Chen then nodded her head.

“Remember, think about me.” Xiao Chen bent his body, gently printing a kiss on the corner of Jing Yue’s lips with a faint joy in his eyes. He turned around and left in large strides, ignoring the completely petrified Jing Yue.

“I…… Have I just…… Have I just been molested?” Jing Yue blinked in surprise covering her face with her hands.

When Jing Yue finished was.h.i.+ng her face and walked out of the room, she straight away saw Xing Er who stood with a straight back at the gate holding a sword in his hand. That expressionless, wood loglike face made Jing Yue’s good mood from a moment ago to be instantly shattered.

‘Wu wu wu (sob)…… Why does she have to go out taking this wood log guy ah?’

Yin Qiao was following at Jing Yue’s side closely. Looking at the bustling street, she was afraid that once she wasn’t careful Jing Yue would walk away and disappear. She asked worriedly, “Huang Fei, where are we going?”

“Don’t know ah. Play!” Jing Yue said while stretching out her hand in an extremely relaxed and easy going manner.
