As the most beloved princess, how could she let him hold her hand and run around? Furthermore, at that time, she already had something she wanted to do, so it was impossible for her to spend all her time with a princess.

However, in a place like this that had her painful memories, she couldn't help but want her to look at the unforgettable suffering and the unbearable past that she had to face.

Looking at Shangguan Qian closing his beautiful eyes, his expression full of longing, he even had the feeling that he was embracing her. Moving, it was a pity that he couldn't. At the very least, he couldn't at this moment.

Qian'Er, if you weren't a princess of the Great Lei Nation, how great would that be?

However, how could he not understand? If Shangguan Qian was not a princess of the Great Lei Nation, they would not even have the chance to meet each other.

His past was too unbearable, too painful, and he didn't even have a shred of desire for memories. He only lived in such a pathetic state, all for the sake of getting what he wanted.

He was very young. He understood that he must fight for everything by himself. There was no fairness in this world. He wanted the highest position so that he could erase his humiliating past. That way, perhaps … Only then would he be fit to be together with Qian'Er.

After a while, Shangguan Qian could not stand this strange atmosphere any longer, especially when he was alone with Shang Guanmo. He asked tentatively, "Since there's nothing else, big brother, let's go back."

Shang Guanmo was startled. Have you been here for a long time?

Although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, he still agreed. Immediately, he was drowned out by the bitterness.

It was only in the afternoon, but looking at the bustling crowd around him, Shangguan Qian discovered that the Imperial City was not all luxurious and luxurious. The simple clothing and faint smell of food actually made the place seem more real.

Looking at Shangguan Qian staring at a wonton stall and not wanting to leave, Shang Guanmo could not help but reveal a doting smile.

"You want to try it?"

Shang Guanmo's mocking words rang in his ears, adding to his mocking tone.

Shangguan Qian did not look away, instead continuing to stare at them and nodding, his meaning obvious.

"What? The Hong family's food is not tasty?"

He remembered that they had just eaten four hours ago, and Shangguan Qian should have eaten quite a lot.

Shangguan Qian didn't say anything, but he had already scolded Shang Guanmo in his heart, but he still had to smile and say, "I just want to try."

Shang Guanmo was unable to do so. Furthermore, it was still too early, so he pulled her to a spot where there was no one around and sat down.

Since it was only a small booth, besides their table, there was only one other table. Seeing them take a seat, the boss came over and asked with a smile, "What would the two of you like to eat?"

Before Shang Guanmo could open his mouth, Shangguan Qian interrupted him by saying, "Two bowls of wontons and some side dishes. Eh, whatever you have to offer will be up to you."

The boss stared blankly for a moment, then after looking at their clothes, he thought that they were probably new rich people, so he happily agreed.

Shangguan Qian looked away without a change in expression, not looking at Shang Guanmo's pondering and teasing gaze.

When the food was served, Shangguan Qian could not help but feel a little disappointed. It was all a very simple method, inaccurate and still, filled with the rich aroma of food.

Shangguan Qian picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and brought it to his mouth. Because it was very hot and he ate very quickly, Shangguan Qian could only breathe out in big mouthfuls of air, a wonton in his mouth, he ate it like he was grimacing in pain.

Ever since they were born, it was very rare for them to wantonly eat such simple food. If it was Ouyang Jin, they might be able to experience the joys of ordinary people, the warmth of ordinary people.

Shangguan Qian was a little distracted, he did not even notice the few ragged children standing not far from them, staring eagerly at the things on their tables.

"Little beggar, stop standing here. Come back when there's leftovers."

Shangguan Qian Qian looked in the direction of the voice, the simple and honest boss had already come out with a spatula to chase them away.

When the three beggars had walked a little further away, they were still muttering to themselves, "What ingrate! Don't you see that I don't have any business anymore?"

Shangguan Qian didn't say anything, only lightly withdrawing the plan. However, he had lost his appetite.

This stall owner should also be a good person. However, there weren't many customers and naturally, there weren't many leftovers from the evil people who came here to eat. Therefore, those children were thin and sallow.

"No matter where it is, this sort of thing exists. However, how innocent are the commoners?"

Shangguan shuang seemed to be speaking unintentionally, but he saw that Shang Guanmo's eyes were gloomy and his face was gloomy.

He let out a small sigh, then looked at those children. They were all still children. Those frightened eyes were like little beasts. The oldest was only eight years old, while the youngest was probably only five years old.

Even though she was no longer that kind and pure person in her current life, her heart still felt terrible when she saw such a young child starving.

Regardless of whether Shang Guanmo objected or not, he said to the shop owner who was also looking at the children in utter amazement, "Uncle, please serve three more bowls of wontons, let these children sit here."

She thought that as long as this boss did not mind those children dirtying his table, then there would be nothing to do. However, when she turned around and met Shang Guanmo's thoughtful eyes, she immediately felt embarrassed.

"He's just a kid. If you don't mind, we can let him go to another table."

However, Shang Guanmo did not say anything. He continued to stare at her, but Shangguan Qian could not help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, but he still maintained a fawning smile.

When Shangguan Qian and the other two children were about to sit down at the side, Shang Guanmo finally opened his mouth and said, "Sit here."

Shangguan Qian looked up at him, startled, then revealed a big smile, but it came from the bottom of his heart. This was because she had not brought any money, which meant that Shang Guanmo was treating these children to a full meal.

When the three children sat down, they were still a bit timid. They didn't dare to raise their heads and could only swallow their saliva as they looked at the dishes on the table.

Shangguan Qing smiled shyly, then moved his wonton that he had only taken two bites to the youngest child.

Then he smiled and asked, "Do you need big sister to feed you?"

She knew that these children would not care so much. After all, these children were the children of poor families.

Sure enough, the child only glanced at her timidly, then shook his head and picked up the spoon. Still, he looked at her uneasily, and seeing that Shangguan Qian had been smiling all this time, he began to eat carefully.

Shangguan Bing'er smiled, even the corners of her eyebrows curved into a beautiful crescent moon.

Then, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a steamed bun and gave it to a girl beside him. Although that girl's face was dirty, her bright eyes still made people like her.

The little girl took it, but did not eat it immediately. Instead, she thanked him crisply, and Shangguan Qian's smile grew even wider.

"What about you? Do you want to take it yourself, or do you want your sister to help you?"

The child in front of them was obviously the eldest of the three. When he saw that his brothers and sisters all had food to eat, he didn't envy them much. He felt more at ease because they didn't need to starve anymore.

Seeing that the child did not answer him, Shangguan Qian also gave one to him, sighing emotionally as he said, "You are a good big brother."

She had seen too little of such a simple brotherly relationship, so much so that she thought it no longer existed.

When the children had forgotten about their food, the wonton boss had also brought three bowls of wontons, but he did not leave. Instead, he looked at Shangguan Qian with a bit of guilt.

When Shangguan Qian saw the look in his eyes, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Uncle, thank you." You've already helped them a lot. "

She knew that this boss was probably blaming himself. However, he was only doing a small business. It was fine if he helped her once or twice, but it was still difficult for her to get him to raise three children.

The owner was startled for a moment, but he did not know what to say. He sighed and left.

Shangguan Qian also returned to reality, picking up a piece of beef with soy sauce and placing it in the child's bowl, smiling as he asked softly, "Where are your parents?"

The child flinched, then looked at her pitifully and said, "Father, mother, they are dead."

Shangguan Qian's smile instantly melted away, and he didn't know what to say.

He could only give them some food without making a sound. Seeing how they were wolfing down their food, his heart ached.

His eyes bulged, but no tears came out. Shang Guanmo, on the other hand, remained silent for a while before he asked in a deep voice, "Are you willing to follow this uncle?"

The children were obviously afraid of Shang Guanmo, but after they understood who the uncle he spoke of was, they nodded with a sour look on their faces, "Uncle, very good."

Shangguan Qian'er lifted his head, looking into his dark eyes and instantly didn't understand what he meant. Unexpectedly, Shang Guanmo stood up without a word and walked towards the shop owner.

The children were all so busy eating that they did not notice what had happened over there, but Shangguan Qian saw that Shang Guanmo had given the old man two gold ingots.

She had never felt that Shang Guanmo was a kind-hearted person, he would not even meddle in other people's business. She had not expected him to pay the boss to take in these pitiful children.

When he returned, Shangguan Qian hurriedly lowered his head, but to his surprise, he found that the few children who had lost their cowardice had already finished all the dishes on their table, and there was no more wonton soup left in their bowls.

All of a sudden, Shangguan Qian felt that it was a little funny, he looked at the youngest child and asked, "Are you still hungry?"

So many things, even one of them. There was enough people, but the five-year-old kid still nodded after a slight pause.

However, Shangguan Qian did not ask the boss to cook another bowl for him this time. If he continued eating, he was afraid that something might happen.

"Then can we eat it later?"

With that, he raised his head with a smile, meeting Shang Guanmo's deep eyes and unsure of what to say.

Embarrassed, he lightly coughed a few times and calmly said, "It's already very late, I'm going back."

Then, someone said to the kids, "In the future, you all will follow this uncle and he will treat you as his family. You all must be obedient, okay?"

Even Shang Guanmo was captivated by her gentle words but they were also filled with a kind of bewitching charm. He watched her softly converse with the children.

"Big brother, let's go."

Shangguan Qian had dealt with these little imps, and only then did he speak to Shang Guanmo. As for Shang Guanmo, he only stared at her deeply for a moment before finally nodding.

When they had gone far away, Shangguan Qian still turned back, worried. However, all the children knelt down and kowtowed to them.

At that moment, the tears that he had been holding back fell down, but he could only cover his mouth and walk forward.
