Chapter 25 - These Two…

"Young Master Long, where are you going?" Nan Luo asked as he noticed that he was unfamiliar with the road.

Long Qian Xing passed a look at the boy on his tail. "I'm heading out. This is the shortcut toward the gate."Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

"Why are we going to the gate?" Nan Luo tilted his head.

"Little boy, do you want me be the one to help your sister change her clothes?"

At that question, Nan Luo immediately snapped. "Of course not! If there's anyone to help her change clothes, that will be me!"

Nan Hua: "..." I don't need either one of you to help me change clothes.

Their carriages were still outside and naturally, it also meant that their servants were also there. Most of the servants would not follow their master to such an event like this. After all, it was not their place.

Some of them stayed outside the hall but most of them stayed a bit further away. Unless their master needed them, they would not get too close.

"Young Master Long, my clothes are not wet." Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing.

When Long Qian Xing pulled her away, the water naturally didn't get to Nan Hua. Instead, the one whose clothes were a bit wet was Long Qian Xing. She simply didn't mention this inside because she could see that he was trying to take control of the situation.

Now that they were outside, she was unwilling to change her dress since it can take a long time.

"Turn left in the first intersection."

"Okay, got it."

With that, Nan Luo rushed out once more.

Long Qian Xing shook his head then turned to look at Nan Hua before putting her down to the ground carefully. His dark eyes were staring straight at the young girl's pitch black eyes. "Little Girl, be more careful next time. I might not always be around to help you out."

"You don't have to help me." I can take care of myself.

Looking at the girl's eyes, Long Qian Xing felt that he was facing a disobedient little girl who didn't know what was good for her. He sighed and leaned back to the tree behind him.

Nan Hua glanced up at Long Qian Xing but she didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, she remembered something. "Thank you for helping me."

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. "It's my duty to protect my fiancée."

"Oh."

The two of them waited in silence. Neither one of them seem to be willing to speak any other words. Yet the atmosphere was strangely calm instead of awkward.

It didn't take long for Nan Luo to return with Xiao Yun trailing behind her while carrying a piece of clothes.. Upon seeing Nan Hua, Xiao Yun hurried her steps even faster. "Miss, are you alright?"
