C402 Seagoing

The sea breeze blew past Xie Qingrong's hair, along with her ink-black hair. Xie Qingrong stood on the boat, closed her eyes and felt the warmth of the sun on her body.

Chu Country Princess Gongsun Yan saw that Xuanyuan Chen had left Xie Qingrong's side, and stealthily approached Xie Qingrong. Standing beside Xie Qingrong, he took a deep breath of the sea breeze.

The warm sunlight was still on him, and he felt warm all over.

Gongsun Yan's gentle face carried a bit of a smile, and she looked even more beautiful.

Xie Qingrong originally had a very good impression of Gongsun Yan, but after experiencing the trap set during the birthday banquet, Xie Qingrong kept her distance from women like Gongsun Yan.

Every time Gongsun Yan got closer, she would frown and retreat a step. Until there was nowhere for him to retreat to, Xie Qingrong said coldly: "Princess, if you have something to say, just say it.

Gongsun Yan was acutely aware of the change in attitude Xie Qingrong had towards her, and she felt slightly bitter in her heart, but she had no choice. She had to probe just how important Xie Qingrong's position was in her royal brother's heart.

The truth proved that her guess was right. Maybe even royal brother did not know, that Xie Qingrong's position in her heart had already reached an extremely important level.

In order to protect Xie Qingrong, she had clearly seen the situation from the moment her brother stepped on the ground, giving face to the Royal Family of Chu.

Presumably, Xie Qingrong also knew of the feelings Gongsun Heng had for her, which was why she kept her distance and tried to distance herself from her.

"Crown Princess, do you know that royal brother has an excessive feeling for you?" Gongsun Yan said straightforwardly. She wanted to find out something that she wanted to know from Xie Qingrong.

Xie Qingrong looked at Gongsun Yan with a smile that was not a smile. In her heart, she admired Gongsun Yan's sharp intuition, but she also understood Gongsun Yan's intention this way.

So that's how it is. I just wanted to test myself.

"I does know." Xie Qingrong stood at the bow of the ship, and gazed into the distance, where she could only see a boundless blue ocean and a sky covered in white clouds.

"Since you know, why do you keep appearing in front of me? You know how I feel about you, yet you still dare to challenge my bottom line. What exactly do you want to do?"

Gongsun Yan controlled her emotions, but the more she spoke, the more agitated she became. Fortunately she still knew how to control her own voice, so she kept her volume low to a certain extent. At least some people on the other side of the boat wouldn't be able to hear his conversation.

Hearing Gongsun Yan's questioning, Xie Qingrong only felt that it was funny, just what position did Gongsun Yan stand on to question him?

What right did she have to question him?

Moreover, how could she keep appearing in front of Gongsun Heng? If she didn't have proper business to attend to, she didn't want to see Gongsun Heng at all. She would be the one suffering at that.

He rolled his eyes in disdain and said coldly: "If the princess is looking for I to discuss these trivial matters, then we can ask her to leave. Even if your royal brother wants to know, I ask him to personally come and ask. "

"You don't have the qualifications to ask me these questions, do you understand?"

Gongsun Yan was so angry and humiliated by Xie Qingrong that her face turned red.

After staring at Xie Qingrong for a while, seeing that Xie Qingrong was still expressionless, she snorted coldly and left the bow of the ship with her skirt.

After Gongsun Yan left, Qi Yun immediately stood where Gongsun Yan was standing.

He whispered, "I didn't mean to listen to you guys. I just happened to pass by. That's why I heard so little."

Xie Qingrong stared coldly at herself and helplessly curled her lips. She said: "Alright, I heard everything. But isn't this Gongsun Yan a little self-righteous? Even Gongsun Heng did not come to ask a question, but she still dares to use such a questioning tone to speak? "

As they continued to talk, Qi Yun felt somewhat helpless.

Xie Qingrong squinted her eyes, facing Qi Yun's retorts, she could not deny it, but the doubt in her heart towards Gongsun Yan became bigger and bigger.

What was Gongsun Yan's goal? It might not just be a simple probe, then what was her real motive behind all this?

But there was no way to know.

"I'm not sure, but one day I'll understand." Xie Qingrong said indifferently, she continued to blow on the sea breeze.

Seeing that Xie Qingrong did not have the desire to talk, Qi Yun left without a word. After Qi Yun left, Xuanyuan Chen came to the place where Qi Yun placed his feet.

Xie Qingrong shrugged her shoulders helplessly, just what happened to everyone today, why did they have such a soft spot for this position?

Xuanyuan Chen saw the helplessness in Xie Qingrong's eyes and asked: "What's wrong?"

Xie Qingrong shook his head and said: "I'm fine, why are you here?"

Xuanyuan Chen got closer to Xie Qingrong, pressed Xie Qingrong's head onto his shoulder, and stroked her smooth black hair. He said softly: "A Rong is standing here alone, blowing the wind and looking at the ocean. Wouldn't that mean she's a little lonely?"

Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's teasing words, the bad emotions that had been stirred up by Gongsun Yan's questions all disappeared, and all that was left was feeling touched.

With his eyes filled with gentleness, Xuanyuan Chen's heart moved and gently pressed a kiss on Xie Qingrong's forehead.

Xie Qingrong touched her forehead and laughed gently. The ocean breeze blew both of their hair, causing it to become tangled together, as though they were intertwined with each other. No matter what they did, they could not be cut apart.

Gongsun Yan stood behind him and looked at the extremely harmonious figure that Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen were embracing each other, even twisting the handkerchief in her hand into the shape of a fried dough twist.

Just now, she tried every means possible to get close to Xuanyuan Chen, but aside from saying a few words when it was necessary, Xuanyuan Chen had never said anything else.

Yet when she faced Xie Qingrong, she actually revealed such a gentle and doting expression, and even kissed Xie Qingrong's forehead. Her husband's own wife's forehead, represented her husband's love and cherishing.

She still remembered that when she found out that her final marriage was to be a marriage with another nation, Gongsun Heng stood in front of her and held her hand, telling her one word at a time that he would definitely give her the best husband.

But there were only a few men that could be the object of the marriage. The Regent Qi Yun was not her type, and Mo Yun was too gloomy, so she did not like that kind of personality.

As for Xuanyuan Chen, he was the best candidate out of the three of them. He was calm, collected and even had a heart of his own.

However, he had already given this unique sincerity to Xie Qingrong, and was no longer able to share it with the other women, not even a little bit.
