He really hoped that Nan Hua was not like that.
Im going to leave the Capital City. Even if she comes here, Ill not be here. Long Qian Xing lowered his gaze, looking like a pitiful child.
Nan Hua didnt know how to respond. Was he explaining himself to her?
Long Qian Xing is a prideful man who was also very capable. The fact that he could become a promising young commander and gathered a lot of force under him alone was already a form of recognition of his ability.
He was not a person who would lower his head to explain his actions to other people. Because he didnt need other people to understand what he wanted to do. Most of them only needed to follow his instruction as they were unable to fully understand what Long Qian Xing actually planning.
But this time he was actually explaining about his action back then to her.
Nan Hua herself was not a stupid person. She already knew his reason and the consequences that would occur because of his action. But in the eyes of other people, there was no way she would know those things.
Some of them were not even visible until many months ahead.
How could they expect that a young girl would know so much?
Yes, Brother Long, Nan Hua answered softly.
Long Qian Xing showed a weak smile when he heard Nan Huas perfunctory reply. It wont happen again.
Yes, it wont happen again.
Because after this, the only person who would be able to enter Long Family Residence would be the female lead and not Nan Hua.
That was what Nan Hua wanted to say, but she didnt give any reaction. All she did was staring straight at Long Qian Xing with her black obsidian eyes.
Long Qian Xing was staring at Nan Huas face, but couldnt see anything that would reveal her true feelings. It seemed as if she had no emotion. Her pitch black eyes were very calm and clear.
There was not even the slightest ripple.
Long Qian Xing really didnt know what was inside Nan Huas mind at this very moment. He could only continue his words.
I promise.
Mhm.
Nan Hua only nodded and didnt say anything else.
Long Qian Xing could faintly detect that Nan Hua didnt want to speak about this matter either, so he stopped. He had promised his grandmother to speak to Nan Hua about this, which was why he brought up the topic.
But seeing the young girl didnt want to talk about it, Long Qian Xing would not press either.
Anyway, when he finally left and Nan Hua was alone in the Capital City, she would understand what he meant.
That was the only thing Long Qian Xing could do to console his mind.
Matter of the heart seemed to be extremely difficult for him to understand.
After a while, the basket was half full.
Lets go back. Its not good to stay outside all the time. Long Qian Xing pointed at the basket. The grapes are enough too.
Mhm.
Because she was staying outside, Nan Huas cheek reddened slightly. It looked so cute and Long Qian Xing was struggling not to pinch it. He felt that his fingers were itchy as if it was longing to make a move.
The two of them soon returned.
Youre back? Old Madam Long was back in her chair with the heater next to her. Song Chuan was sitting at the other side, holding a bamboo scroll and seemed to be reading the content out loud.
Yes. The temperature is still a bit cold. Long Qian Xing put the basket on the table.
Grandmother, we bring you some grapes.
You dont have to do that, Huaer, Old Madam Long chided, yet she was smiling happily. It was clear that she was pleased that Nan Hua didnt forget about her.
Long Qian Xing passed a sidelong glance before ignoring his grandmother. He was sure that his grandmother had long forgotten that he was her grandson.
Huaer, Ill be going now. Dont stay out here too long.
Yes, Brother Long.
With that Long Qian Xing dragged Song Chuan out. It was time for them to settle some unresolved matters. There was no need for him to accompany his grandmother all the time either.
Old Madam Long looked at her grandson and sighed. Hes just like his father. Theyre always busy because of this and that.
Nan Hua patted Old Madam Longs hand as if to console the other party. She knew that Long Qian Xing had been to the battlefield ever since he was very young to follow his father and grandfathers footsteps.
Long Family was a military family and had long thrived in this field for a long time.
Oh right, his cousins will come to the Capital City soon. When they did come, Ill introduce you to them. Old Madam Long only have one son and one grandson, but her husband had a few siblings. Those siblings of his had their own family now.
They were not exactly close, but would still contact each other from time to time.
Nan Hua nodded. Okay. Ill be going back for today. Its already late, Grandmother.
However, Nan Hua honestly doubted that she would ever be able to meet with those cousins of Long Qian Xing. Based on what she knew, there would be some problems with bandits which would make it harder for them to leave their cities.
As the result, they wouldnt be able to come to the Capital City for the next few years.
When they finally visited the Capital City, Nan Hua shouldnt be Long Qian Xings fiance anymore at that time. At least, that was what happened inside the story that Nan Hua heard before.
That meant, Nan Hua would never have a chance to interact with them at all.
Silly me. I forget that you cant stay out for too long. Bring some grapes back with you and share it with that stingy old man.
Yes, Grandmother.
