Yan Yuan lowered his eyebrows and pursed his lips, a slight smile of happiness spreading across his face.
He did not step forward. His tall body leaned slightly against the door, watching as she fed her son. His eyes were filled with maternal love and love.
When she faced her son, her entire body was filled with the gentleness of a mother, unlike the childish look she had in front of him.
He liked to see her as childish as a child in front of him, always happy and carefree.
Seeing the smile on Liu Ruo Qing's face, Yan Yuan's expression softened as well.
His hand subconsciously touched the piece of paper in his bosom, and his heart was somewhat at ease.
"Do you still want to eat?"
Liu Ruo Qing asked her son.
"I'm not eating anymore. I'm full. Uncle is eating."
The little guy passed the small delicacy in front of her to Liu Ruo Qing, and the word "uncle" caused Liu Ruo Qing to suddenly recover from her subconscious actions just now. Thinking of Yan Yuan at the door, she panicked and stood up abruptly, looking at Yan Yuan who had already walked in, "Your highness."
Yan Yuan looked at her silently but did not say anything, he only gestured for her to sit down. All of the things he personally ordered were things that Liu Ruo Qing liked to eat, but now, she was feeling nervous.
Just now, she was too engrossed in feeding her son. When he came in, she was still in her original identity.
She secretly sized up Yan Yuan's face, seeing that he was chatting and laughing with his son as if nothing was amiss, could it be that he really did not notice her?
If he found out, he shouldn't have this kind of reaction, right?
Thinking this, Liu Ruo Qing quietly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
Although Yan Yuan was playing with his son, all of his attention was on the guy beside him. Seeing her carefully sizing him up and then heaving a sigh of relief, he could guess what she was worried about.
What a fool.
In his heart, Yan Yuan gave a light laugh, and his expression softened by several degrees.
The family of three stayed until midnight, and only after the people on the street had started to return home did they leave the teahouse.
A satisfied smile continued to hang on Liu Ruo Qing's face, as if she was in an exceptionally good mood.
Yan Yuan sneaked a glance at her and saw her satisfied expression, feeling gratified and pained in his heart.
"Happy tonight?"
He couldn't help but speak up as he looked at her.
"Yes."
Liu Ruo Qing nodded, then thought of something and said: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Yan Yuan's brows lightly rose, and his lips curved into a smile as he looked at her, and said: "Thank me for what?"
"…"
Liu Ruo Qing looked at him speechlessly. Was there a need to go all out to get to the bottom of this?
Even though she was ridiculing him in her heart, she still replied seriously, "Many thanks to the prince for accompanying me out to play."
Just as he finished speaking, Liu Ruo Qing felt that this sentence sounded a little strange. After carefully savoring it, he realized that it was indeed rather strange.
Seeing that Yan Yuan did not say anything, but only pursed his lips and continued forward, Liu Ruo Qing let out a long sigh as the awkwardness on his face lessened by a bit.
Suddenly, Yan Yuan, who was walking to her side, stopped in his tracks.
"Why …"
Liu Ruo Qing had not finished speaking, but Yan Yuan had already placed the young son on her body, his entire person holding her right in front of him. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at her deeply, like a clear spring, deep to the point where the bottom of the abyss could not be seen, "Hug Heng Er tightly."
Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head, holding onto the little fellow's hand, she subconsciously tightened the grip, and in the next second, she saw a dozen or so black-clothed men appear in the air, one of them wielding a blade, directly slashing at Yan Yuan's back.
"Be careful!"
She opened her eyes wide and exclaimed. Luckily, Yan Yuan was fast, and easily pulled out the flexible sword from his waist, then unleashed a ruthless attack on the person behind her.
The hidden guards that were in charge of protecting them also appeared in time to block the others.
After the incident where the young son was robbed, Liu Ruo Qing started to panic a little. He hugged the little fellow tightly and retreated to the side, burying the little guy's head in his chest and consoling him in a low voice, "Heng Er, don't worry. Uncle will protect you."
As soon as she finished speaking, her entire body was already on alert. She tried to recuperate and prepare for battle, but she discovered that the internal force in her body had disappeared without a trace.
A trace of doubt flashed past her eyes. She adjusted her inner force again, but was still unable to feel it.
She wrinkled her brow, her heart sinking slightly. Was it possible that she had just recovered from her severe injuries, so she was temporarily unable to adjust her inner force?
However, still could not believe her speculation. Even if she was injured, she would adjust her inner force to help her internal force recover faster. How could she be like this right now, unable to feel even the tiniest bit of inner force?
Liu Ruo Qing's brows furrowed even more tightly as she hugged the power of the young son tightly with her lips.
She knew that this was not the time for her to be conflicted over inner force. She stared in the direction of Yan Yuan nervously, the martial arts of these black-clothed people were unusually high, even if it was the trained personal guards of Yan Yuan, they would not be able to take them down in a short time.
Fortunately, these people didn't gain anything from the hands of the hidden guards. Yan Yuan wasn't far from the mother and son pair, so from the looks of it, the target of these black-clothed men should be her.
Since the monsters in Ye Man's hands were afraid of her, he would naturally not let her go that easily.
Yan Yuan didn't give them the chance to get close to the mother and son pair, but he was still so nervous that his heart was clenched.
She did not have the ability to retaliate at the moment, so what if these people took advantage of the loophole to capture her, what if they took Heng Er away from her side?
"Uncle, Heng Er is afraid."
The little guy's low voice, with a slight tremble, sounded from within her arms. At the same time, it pulled her out of her panic.
"Heng Er is not afraid, uncle will not let these bad guys hurt you."
After Yan Yuan settled the black-clothed men, he returned to their side once more. Seeing the panic in Liu Ruo Qing's eyes, he reached out and gently hugged her head, "Don't be afraid, let's go home first."
As Yan Yuan stood at his side, Liu Ruo Qing's entire being relaxed a little. He raised his eyes to look at the black-clothed men behind Yan Yuan who were stopped by the security guards and said, "Those people …"
"Leave it to Qi Feng and the others, we'll head back first."
"Alright."
Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head as she took the child from her hands. young son's hands held tightly onto Yan Yuan's arm, her pitch-black eyes looked at Yan Yuan in fear, "Royal father, Heng Er is so scared."
"It's alright, Royal Father will bring Heng Er home."
Liu Ruo Qing replied softly. Liu Ruo Qing was startled for a moment, and from her tone, she heard a bit of something strange.
