At the wharf, the willows were weeping and the rain was falling in droplets.

Many young masters and young ladies took advantage of the drizzling rain to rent a boat and sail across the lake, admiring the beautiful scenery covered by the clouds and mountains. They could hear the raindrops falling on the lake, and after a few cups of wine, they would be satisfied with just a bit of wine.

Once Gu Mingyan stepped into the pleasure boat, he brought all his subordinates and left the place.

Shang Rong took the paper umbrella that Gu Mingyan handed to him, and slowly closed the door, leaving a few people to guard the side of the boat, while the rest all descended from the boat, and the area was quiet without a sound, with only the two of them remaining.

The incense burner on the side of the table curled up as the fragrance of fresh and shallow lotus blossoms wafted into the air. The cake on the table had seven different shapes, and was sweet from the mouth. There were two cups of bitter tea by his side, and a pot of fine wine. The green lotus was painted on the wall with water ripples, creating an elegant scene.

Xiao Qiran sat on the chair, and seeing her eating the pastries silently, he was unwilling.

"Did royal father mention the engagement with you that day?"

A simple sentence swept away the serenity and calmness in the room.

The slender fingers paused for a moment, then she gently swept the sweet powder on the table with the pastries. She nodded and said yes.

The fist under the table tightened, but Xiao Qiran still let out a low laugh: "What do you think?"

"This will depend on your Highness." Gu Mingyan looked up and met his gaze, and when he saw the worry on his face, it was actually a helpless smile, "I never expected that there would be a day when I would be troubled by matters of love. And Sister Shuang Hua, that... "

"What if I don't want to let go?"

Xiao Qiran interrupted her sloppy words and solemnly pulled her slender wrist.

Xiao Yan was slightly startled. The warm and wide palm on his wrist firmly bound her. His heart moved slightly.

However, she was reminded that there was only one person who would not hurt others.

But there was another voice clamoring in his mind — you should look ahead.

The two voices lingered in his mind and Gu Mingyan was at a loss for what to do. He could only look at Xiao Qiran for a long time, but slightly tilted his head: "It depends on your will, all the things I have on me, I have already told you about them."

With that, she calmly lifted her hand and removed the red rope.

The phoenix feathers beneath her were already a light gold, and the marriage certificate had instantly appeared beside her hand.

Xiao Qiran knew her secret, but he had never told anyone else.

"Father said that you won't marry."

This time, it was Xiao Qiran who was stunned.

Gu Mingyan nodded seriously: "I did say that I won't marry, but that is …"

"Riiiiip."

The marriage certificate beside her was torn into two by Xiao Qiran.

He looked at her with an ominous glint in his eyes. "I won't let you go."

"Let me finish." Gu Mingyan brazenly slapped Xiao Qiran's face with both hands, waiting for his eyes to soften a little before rubbing his face and laughing softly: "I told the emperor that as long as you cancel the engagement, I would cancel it. If you do not agree now, I will not let him go."

This was the first time Xiao Qiran's face was being pinched by a girl, and was being rubbed like a ball.

He pinched both of Gu Mingyan's wrists, and just as his heart was at ease, he thought of Mister Xu Chang's teachings, "royal father wants to bestow the daughter of the Grand Commandant to me."

Gu Mingyan was startled, her face changed as she looked at him: "What do you mean?"

"Meng Lanhui is one of the three great beauties of Shengan. I have never seen her before." Xiao Qiran pulled her a little closer, and spoke in a low voice: "Previously, you said that it was an impulsive action, and now that I think about it, maybe I can consider some other possibilities."

Mr. Xu Chang had said before, if there was not even a bit of pressure, Gu Mingyan would not be able to look straight into his heart.

He must hear Gu Mingyan personally say out his feelings.

Sure enough, Gu Mingyan immediately frowned, took out both his hands from Xiao Qiran's hands, and sat down in front of him once again. He nodded his head extremely seriously, "This is fine, and what's more, the emperor does not want us to cancel the engagement right now …"

Xiao Qiran saw the panic in her eyes, she was trying her best to hold back her laughter, and she opened her mouth to speak.

"There is no absolute in this world."

These five words smashed into Gu Mingyan's throat. She took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Qiran, and pulled out a smile. "Your Highness's words are reasonable."

"You … You don't seem to be happy? " Xiao Qiran probed.

"I just didn't expect that Your Highness would be so sentimental." With that, Gu Mingyan stood up and looked at him, "These few days, I will not disturb Your Highness and Miss Meng's interaction. Please rest assured."

"You …"

Without waiting for Xiao Qiran to speak, Gu Mingyan had already turned and left.

So it turned out that she was being sentimental.

Looking at how Gu Mingyan called for the cruise liner to come closer, she did not even take her umbrella and quickly left.

Shuang Hua was even more confused. After entering the cruise liner, he asked her why she said that, but he heard Xiao Qiran saying, "It's rare to see her this angry."

"Your Highness, could it be that you're doing this just to see her angry!"

Shuang Hua was burning with anger, he almost wanted to pull Xiao Qiran's collar and ask him about it.

Last time, if he hadn't said that he had fallen in love with her on the spur of the moment, the eldest young miss wouldn't still be misunderstanding the relationship between the two of them.

"The marriage contract must be broken, after all."

Xiao Qiran however, casually put down the cup in his hand and helplessly said: "Regardless of whether or not we are going to die, royal father will think of every way to separate the two of us. It would be better to wait until royal father begins to believe in her, then bring up the matter of marriage. Furthermore, I have already seen her like this today, so how could I let go of her? "

"Your Highness, please don't lift up a rock to smash your own foot …" Shuang Hua swallowed his saliva.

However, Xiao Qiran only smiled.

Gu Mingyan walked all the way back to his own Han Li's courtyard. His heart was unable to calm down for a long time.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Gu Mingyan laughed at himself, "I was too worried."

She blocked Shang Rong and the two servants outside the door, and after taking a bath, she did not fall asleep.

He did not sleep in the middle of the night. Gu Mingyan heard a soft sound coming from the door and his body froze.

The door slowly opened, and before she had yet to make a move, she only saw a black figure flash past her, her wrist had already been gently grabbed by someone, and Xiao Qiran who had some raindrops on his body sat on the bed, looking at her with a shallow smile.

"Why is His Highness here?" Gu Mingyan struggled twice, but was actually unable to struggle free.

"Impulsive." Xiao Qiran leaned forward, and forcefully dropped a light kiss on the corner of her mouth: "The words I said in the day, is just to agitate you."

"Bastard!" Gu Mingyan opened his eyes wide and cursed.

Outside the door, Shang Rong and Wei Bai heard a loud sound coming from inside, both of them were shocked.

Shang Rong said softly: "Your majesty has never been kicked before …."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Watch the door."
