53 Chapter 50

It has been a month after her 'abduction' and since then after getting Xiuying approval, Xianyao started to woo her publicly. He started cooking desserts which he bring whenever he visits Xiuying in Ying Yue and in her family residence.

Xi Hui have long approved of Xianyao, she have seen how hard working the man is during his training with her grandfather though the prince is known as ruthless in the battlefield, she have long known that he is the type of man who will love only one woman. While his wife is happy with how their daughter's relationship progress Qi Chen and Qi Ming have conflicted thoughts as they aren't ready yet to see another person to have Xiuying's attention. As for Old General Xi, he have the same thought as his granddaughter but he is more a step ahead as he is already thinking how his great great grandchildren will look like even criticizing Xianyao how lame he is but he is also proud of her great granddaughter for not being like those golden-thigh-grabbing young misses. However the person who benefited the most is Princess Xiang who became Xianyao's 'date adviser'.

In Long Manor, another confrontation happened between Guanting and Qi Fan.

"Husband why aren't you visiting me these past weeks if I haven't almost had a miscarriage you wouldn't appear before me?!" Qi Fan sobs as she speaks because of what her family's condition she haven't had enough time to take care of herself thus her appearance isn't one that can even be considered a wife of an influential family in Great Yan. Her complexion is pale and her eyes have dark circles around them due to sleepless nights worrying about her father who is still in prison and her grandfather who is in a coma. Qi Bai have formally inherited the position of patriarch after getting the diagnosis from the physicians' guild that Qi Bao have lesser chance to wake up and only have few months left to live. As for her brother Qi Lei, she now considered him as dead when he didn't follow what she told him during their last conversation.

Qi Lei has been known as unambitious person that even if their father, Qi Chang disciplined and warned him sternly to always grab chances to steal the spotlight and to study and train harder to outdo their cousins especially Qi Ming, it always ended fruitless as that brother of hers always treated their relatives warmly.

"I've already informed you that I am busy fixing all the troubles in our businesses, why do you always make things hard for me whenever I am home? Do you not even care to our child that is yet to be born?" Long Guanting helplessly sigh after asking these questions. Though he felt tormented whenever seeing Qi Fan, he decided to treat her well as she is pregnant with his child. He would treat her warmly despite all the schemes her and her parents did to enter Long Fu as he did love her. It was him who decided to help them get people to kill Xiuying, thankfully it wasn't successful otherwise he will definitely feel more disgusted to Qi Fan and himself.

Qi Fan tried to stand up from the bed but failed as her body is so weak at this moment and as if she didn't hear the concern shown in Long Guanting's questions she pointed at him and in rage shouted. "So you do know that I am still pregnant with your child?! Then why aren't you visiting us?! Is your 'businesses' so important than us?!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do you think I mean by saying these? You always go to different banquets as if you aren't a married man!"

"I attended as I was invited as the grandson of the Left Prime Minister and the hosts are mostly our big clients!"

"You better say the real reason for attending those! I know you are there to see Xiuying! That slut should have died back then!"

Qi Fan suddenly felt her right cheek burn, she didn't expect for her husband to hurt her. Long Guanting held her chin till it started to have bruises, his eyes who always shown love for her whenever he looks now have disgust and anger in them. "Don't you dare curse her, she would have been my wife if you didn't schemed to get the position you have right now and if you dare to even touch a single strand of her hair, your stay here in Long Fu will be like living in hell!"

Guanting release her and left in long stride without looking back, Qi Fan shocked by what just happened started to cry loudly. The servants have stopped fawn over her when they started to notice that changes in their master's attitude to his wife as for the Qi Fu's servants who came with her as part of her dowry they also distanced themselves because every time she is in a bad mood she always make them into her living punching bag.

That night is peaceful in the capital of Great Yan except in Qi Fan's courtyard, the streets and establishments have long closed for the day only the ones located in the red light district are open. In an alley that the street lights can't reach a person is observing the movement of the patrols while hiding and despite the ragged clothing, the aura that person emits is dignified.

The person looks at the moon with hope, hope to see the person he has been searching for so long is in this place.
