After returning to her room, she extended her hand out to the depressed Yan Yuan, "Give it back to me."
Yan Yuan was startled, he looked at her in confusion and asked: "What is it?"
"Didn't you pick up the plate I dropped in King Jing Palace?"
Liu Ruo Qing's words allowed Yan Yuan to instantly understand. Since she directly asked him to return the thing to her, it was naturally to make sure that it was with him, and Yan Yuan did not deny it, taking the plate from his neck, and said: "I've been wearing it the entire time, just to find a chance to return it to you."
"Is that so?"
Liu Ruo Qing raised her eyebrows, her eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a hint of suspicion within, causing him to feel a little guilty.
In fact, he did not want to return it to her at all. With the thing in his hands, no one would know that it belonged to the Yan Family. Perhaps Qing Er would not know that the annihilation of the Jiang Family was related to the Yan Family.
Liu Ruo Qing looked at him, laughed, and placed the tablet in his hand, and said: "Speaking of this, this tablet belongs to your Yan Clan, and should be something that I return to you."
Liu Ruo Qing's words made Yan Yuan panic in the bottom of her heart, and her face suddenly paled. And that thread of panic, had even unabashedly flowed out from his eyes.
He stared at Liu Ruo Qing's seemingly calm face, which he was unable to comprehend a single word from, for a long while.
His tightly clenched fist protruded the bulging veins on the back of his hand, making it impossible for others to ignore the raging waves in the depths of his eyes.
After a while, Yan Yuan's voice came out of his mouth with difficulty, "You …"
After that single word, he could no longer say another word.
He thought that he had hidden Qing Er well, but she already knew?
The current Yan Yuan instantly felt that he was laughable and detestable in front of Liu Ruo Qing. However, what made him even more afraid was that because of this matter, Qing Er would leave him again, or perhaps he would never forgive him?
Liu Ruo Qing did not care about Yan Yuan's expression at the moment, but held onto the plate, and continued: This is a plate for the Royal Shadow Guards who are responsible for protecting the Kaiser, 20 years ago, because one of them lost one of the during the mission, it was the day the Jiang Family was annihilated, the one that landed on the Jiang Family.
Liu Ruo Qing's tone was extremely calm, as though she was telling Yan Yuan a story that had nothing to do with her, and even her voice did not have the slightest ripple, yet, it caused Yan Yuan's entire mind to turn blank, and he only watched Liu Ruo Qing quietly without saying a word.
However, those trembling lips and painful black eyes, made Liu Ruo Qing understand that the current Yan Yuan was simply unable to calm down at all.
After he finished speaking, Liu Ruo Qing finally looked straight into Yan Yuan's eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Scared?"
Yan Yuan's heart trembled, he did not know what Liu Ruo Qing was going to say, nor did he dare to.
Looking at Liu Ruo Qing, he opened her mouth several times but was unable to say a single word.
That pair of deep eyes carried a little helplessness and panic. He slowly raised his hand and forcefully held her hand in the center of his palm, as if he was afraid that she would leave him. His eyes contained a lowly begging expression, "Sorry, you … "Don't leave me."
His words were extremely pale. He clearly had a lot of words to say, but when they came to his mouth, they all became cowardly. He did not have the courage to say those words that were rebutted for him, and in the end, could only turn into this powerless and pale apology and plea.
Liu Ruo Qing lowered her eyebrows, looking at the wide palm that tightly gripped his hand. From the tip of his hand came the ice-cold temperature of Yan Yuan's fingertip, pursed her lips into a smile, and said: "When did I say I was going to leave you?"
Yan Yuan was startled, to the point where he felt the hand that was grabbing his palm suddenly tremble. That pair of eyes that originally carried an apologetic gaze, looked at her with a little astonishment.
This kind of clear, cold, and somewhat prideful man looked at himself with such an extremely careful and flattered gaze. Liu Ruo Qing couldn't help but feel a little pained in his heart.
She couldn't understand how such a noble man could casually pick out all the women in the world if he wanted to. Yet, he was being so careful in front of her because of something that had nothing to do with him, afraid that he would make her unhappy.
There were several times, she would ask herself in her heart, how could she make such a man fall in love so deeply, other than saving the Milky Way in her previous life, she really couldn't think of any other reason.
Let alone the fact that she had never hated him for the matters of the Jiang Family, even if she had, how could she blame him now?
She habitually rubbed her hand against his chest and said in a low voice, "No matter what the truth of the annihilation of Jiang Family's family was like back then, I only wanted you. I won't give up on the people who are by my side right now for the sake of the people from twenty years ago."
She looked up and saw Yan Yuan staring at her blankly, but she couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. His lips curved up a little, "So, you don't have to worry about the Peach Blossom Princess treating uncle, no matter what the truth uncle tells me, I only want you, no one can let me leave you!"
The latter part of her words were said with extreme emphasis, as if she wanted to say it into Yan Yuan's heart. However, she did not add the words "except for the King of Hell".
No one can let me leave you except you, Yama...
She knew that Yan Yuan was extremely afraid of death, she did not want to talk about such a sad thing in front of him.
As expected, after Yan Yuan heard her words, he was stunned for a moment before the corner of his mouth lifted up uncontrollably. In the end, the smile became wider and wider, and he did not give Liu Ruo Qing a chance to speak anymore.
"Thank you, Qing Er. Thank you for only me. Thank you for not leaving me …"
He said many words of thanks, every word was filled with piety, and hearing Liu Ruo Qing's words, his eyes became moist.
Un, I thank you as well. Thank you for loving me so dearly …
Liu Ruo Qing smiled and stood on her tiptoes. She wrapped her arms around Yan Yuan's neck and took the initiative to welcome him.
On the other side, Xia Tao Hua, who had wholeheartedly wanted to give the crazy old man the last shot, heaved a long sigh of relief.
Her body was still shaking when she stood up because of the exhaustion from acupuncture and the fact that her body was not in a good condition.
After that, he checked the old man's pulse to make sure that there was nothing else going on before he got up and walked out.
When she opened the door and went out, she saw that the person outside had moved, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Qi Feng.
