C897 She doesn't want me anymore

Yan Yuan reached out his hands, placed his long arms on her shoulders, and looked into her eyes. At such a close distance, she could even feel the heat emitted from Yan Yuan's nose, and his body suddenly stiffened. "My lord."

"He can't be thinking about a little girl, right?"

His aura circulated in front of Liu Ruo Qing, and with his long fingers, he gently played around with the ponytail that was formed randomly behind her.

The corner of Liu Ruo Qing's mouth twitched. He used this kind of ambiguous posture to ask if she was thinking about this little girl.

"Prince, you really know how to tease me."

She forced a smile at Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan raised his eyebrows, as he did not take her words seriously at all. His gaze carried a trace of scrutiny, sizing her up from top to bottom, "How old are you?"

His voice was heavy, but it carried a magnetic force that made one's heart itch. Even though the two were already so close that they could even give birth to sons, when he played with her like this, it still made Liu Ruo Qing's ears turn red.

"Return... "Your Highness, this little one …" "I'm 21."

"Oh, it's the age to get married and have children."

Yan Yuan looked at her and nodded earnestly, he played with her hair, but he did not stop there. The corner of his mouth slightly curved as he asked: "Do you have someone you like?"

"Yes …" "Yes."

Maybe it was because he was used to Xiao Niu's identity, but when he faced Yan Yuan, he did not look like he was talking to his own husband. Instead, he was like someone he was secretly in love with.

Her gaze, either intentionally or unintentionally, looked at Yan Yuan's handsome face, which had attracted countless women to commit crimes. Her heart started to race uncontrollably.

Yan Yuan did not expect Liu Ruo Qing to reply in such a manner, and the surprise in his eyes was evident for a moment. When he looked into her eyes, he saw the unintentionally revealed feelings and emotions, and also that flushed red ear root, the corner of his mouth slightly pursed up, his eyes revealing a smile, and he looked like he was in a very good mood.

It was just that Liu Ruo Qing was currently too shy to notice.

His eyes drooped slightly, but he could not see the expression on Yan Yuan's face. He only heard him continue: "Where is he?"

Liu Ruo Qing's body stiffened because of his question. She raised her head and subconsciously looked at him, a trace of pain flashed past her eyes. Even though the pain had disappeared very quickly, Yan Yuan had still caught it.

The smiling expression in his eyes dimmed slightly as his heart was suddenly and violently pierced.

Seeing Liu Ruo Qing's bitter smile, she pretended to be relaxed. "Your Highness, you know what I'm doing.

She lightly shrugged her shoulders and smiled at Yan Yuan: "If even you aren't able to survive, then why do you need to let him know. This will increase my sadness, Your Highness, do you think so?"

Her eyes, her fake forced smile, and the sorrow that was hidden in her eyes, all stung Yan Yuan's heart and caused him to be unable to breathe.

The strength that was resting on Liu Ruo Qing's shoulder subconsciously increased a little. "Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to cure you."

Liu Ruo Qing thought that he was just trying to console her, but when she saw the sincerity and determination in his eyes, she could not doubt his sincerity. She looked at him gratefully, then nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Your Highness."

Then, she paused and added, "If this little one is lucky enough to survive, I will definitely bring this little one to the prince."

"Yes."

Yan Yuan lightly bit on the corner of his mouth. His heart ached uncontrollably as he looked at the fool standing in front of him, who was hiding his true self from him, going to endure the pain alone.

After being silent for a long time, the unbearable feeling in his heart finally slightly calmed down.

Liu Ruo Qing didn't know what Yan Yuan was thinking, but seeing that he was quiet and did not say a word, that look of his seemed a little sad. She was stunned for a moment, and felt that he was infected by her emotions just now.

She knew that Yan Yuan was actually an extremely cold-hearted person. This kind of cold-hearted man would only be difficult to deal with when he treated her in the past. But now, she was only an outsider, even if she saved his son's life, it shouldn't be enough for him, a prince, to be so upset because of her, a little guard's illness.

Liu Ruo Qing was a little puzzled, but in the end she did not ask anything, and only casually changed the topic: "Before Your Highness came, young son had just left this place."

"Oh?"

Yan Yuan regained his senses, he kept the look on his face and looked at her with interest, "What did he tell you?"

Liu Ruo Qing lowered her eyebrows as she thought about her son's disappointed face. Then, she said to Yan Yuan: "It's Yuanxiao today, and young son heard that it's very lively outside. I wanted to go out and admire the lanterns, but he said … He said that you, your highness, would not allow it. "

After Liu Ruo Qing finished speaking, she sized up Yan Yuan's expression without batting an eyelid, seeing that Yan Yuan's face did not have a sullen expression, she only lowered her eyes and did not say a word, as though she was thinking about something.

Liu Ruo Qing retracted her gaze, and was not in a hurry to wait for his reply. After all, this matter was related to the little fellow's safety, and as an outsider, she was not qualified to give Yan Yuan any suggestions.

"Do you want to go out and play?"

Just as she was sitting in a daze, Yan Yuan's voice once again interrupted her thoughts.

"Me?"

Liu Ruo Qing stared in shock at Yan Yuan's beautiful face that did not seem like she was joking.

"Yes."

Yan Yuan looked at her, nodded, and repeated: "Do you want to go out and play tonight?"

Liu Ruo Qing looked straight at Yan Yuan, and for a moment, she didn't know how to reply.

In reality, she really wanted to go out with him, just like Yuanxiao did in the past. Moreover, looking at her son's appearance, he also really wanted to go, but … She wasn't Liu Ruo Qing right now.

Isn't it too awkward for the prince to take her, a bodyguard, out?

Liu Ruo Qing subconsciously frowned, there was a bit of hesitation in her eyes, but she heard Yan Yuan continue: "In the past, it was Qing Er who accompanied me and Heng Er out."

Amongst this low voice, Liu Ruo Qing actually heard a pitiful tone, as if he was complaining to her.

Hearing him say the two words "Qing Er", Liu Ruo Qing's back stiffened a little, and her eyes subconsciously lifted to look at Yan Yuan. Seeing that Yan Yuan was also looking at her, her deep gaze revealed some complex emotions that confused her.

"Do you know Qing Er?"

Yan Yuan asked her, causing her heart to tighten. Then, with a stiff expression, she nodded, "Little guess … It should be the Crown Princess Jing that passed away, right? "

stared at her blankly for a long while before nodding slowly, "Mmm, but she doesn't want me anymore."
