“Of course.” The corners of his lips curled up impassively. He maneuvered the wheelchair beneath him and wheeled out of the door first. He turned around and entered the room next door.

After taking a deep breath, Su Qian turned around and met the two little buns’ worried gazes. “Don’t worry. Mother knows this person. You guys wait here for me. I will come back immediately after talking to him.” Su Qian’s eyes were filled with gentleness as she reached out to stroke the two children’s heads.

“Yes, Mother. If that strange uncle bullies you, you can shout loudly. Brother and I will help you beat him up!” Su Qingqing clenched her fists and made a vow.

“Alright.” Su Qian was pleased. After telling Su Ye to take good care of Su Qingqing, she turned around and went to the room next door.

The room that Xiao Yan went to was the best in the inn, Room A. The room was elegantly decorated. Su Qian followed closely behind him and walked into the room. As she stepped on the soft carpet, the elegant scent of sandalwood filled her nostrils. Her gaze immediately passed over the exquisite Jade screen not far away and landed on the man who was sitting at the table and drinking tea.

Even though he was wearing a mask, it couldn’t hide his otherworldly aura. At this moment, Xiao Yan’s eyes turned, and his gaze was already cast on her.

Su Qian couldn’t be sure of his purpose for coming today only through his unfathomable eyes.

Was it for the Dancing Phoenix last night, or was it for the unfinished wedding six years ago?

Su Qian thought to herself as she fell into a daze.

A smile appeared on Xiao Yan’s lips, and his voice was as deep as intoxicating wine. “Do I look good?”

These three simple words instantly pulled Su Qian back to reality. Only then did she realize that she had been staring at this man for a long time, and she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

She put her thoughts aside and walked over to the man in front of her. She sat down calmly and gave him an evaluation that went against her will. “So-so.”

Xiao Yan seemed a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his lips deepened. “It’s not a good habit to say one thing and mean another.”

Su Qian felt that the more this man smiled, the more dangerous his aura became. She frowned and asked, “Ninth Prince, what exactly are your motives?”

What he had done today was completely beyond her expectations. She was very sure that this man knew something. She had never liked to beat around the bush. Since he had already found her, she might as well be direct.

“As a sixth-grade herb, the Dancing Phoenix has the miraculous effect of curing all the rare poisons in the world. I wonder who Miss Su is trying to save with it?”

Su Qian’s expression changed slightly. This man didn’t seem to mention a single word about what happened last night, but it was obvious that he knew everything.

Last night, she already disguised herself, but she still couldn’t deceive him. This fox!

“That’s my own business.” Although the original owner of the item had come knocking on her door after she had stolen it, Su Qian quickly calmed down. She changed the topic and said, “Ninth Prince, why don’t we make a deal?”

The calmness in her phoenix eyes and her composed appearance attracted a hint of appreciation in Xiao Yan’s eyes. He suddenly became more patient. “Tell me.”

“There’s a saying that goes, you get what you want. Your Highness, I owe you a favor for last night. In the future, if you need me to do anything, and as long as it doesn’t go against my bottom line, I will do my best to help you.” Su Qian stared at Xiao Yan and didn’t mention anything about returning it.

The Dancing Phoenix was very important to her, and this was the only way she could make a deal with the man in front of her.

Su Qian was certain that if the deal was successful, she would have to return the favor in the future. The value of the favor was far greater than that of the Dancing Phoenix, so it was definitely worth it for Xiao Yan to agree to it. Who knew…

“There’s no need to wait until the future.” The man’s voice was deep and slow.

Su Qian had a bad feeling in her heart, but he continued, “I want you to agree to marry me. As long as you become my woman, then everything I have will be yours.”

The last sentence was spoken in a slightly raised tone, with a hint of temptation and a hint of threat.

Su Qian suddenly looked at him…
