I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 355 The Simple Him

His eyes flickered, his face slightly flushed, as he looked at her: "And what about you?"

Just then, a gust of wind rose, rustling the leaves and flowers, but it was unclear whether she heard it clearly.

She didn't answer, but reached out and caught a few petals: "The falling flowers are full of affection, but you, young master and lady, are heartless."

After saying that, she let the few petals drift down onto the steps by the roadside.

This road seems so long, it never ends. Several times, Qianqiu Chang'an wanted to reach out and hold Zhongli Yueluo's hand.

She skillfully avoided them all, or always changed the subject to other topics.

“I’m a little tired, why don’t we sit on the rattan chairs up ahead?” Zhongli Yueluo slowed her pace, walked ahead, and turned back to extend her hand.

Qianqiu Chang'an was still hesitating whether to hold her hand, but she had already put her hands behind her back.

The chair woven from wisteria can just accommodate two people, and in front of it is a floating table woven from vines.

Qianqiu Chang'an placed the pastries and fruits she brought on top. Judging from her appearance, she must have a sweet tooth.

"I don't know what Miss Yueluo's preferences are, so I brought some salty and some sweet dishes. They were made by our own chef. I don't know if they will suit your taste."

When Zhongli Yueluo heard that it was made by their family's chef, she hesitated for a moment.

What if Qianqiu Changhuan tampered with it?

She picked up a piece of pastry, divided it into two, and handed it to Qianqiu Chang'an: "What flavor is this?"

Qianqiu Chang'an was not so cunning. Seeing that she was sharing food with him, she took his hand and took a bite.

"It has a light bean flavor and is salty."

Zhongli Yueluo wasn't concerned about the taste; she was only worried about whether the pastry was poisonous and whether he was alright.

She simply covered her mouth, took a small bite, chewed a few times, and held it under the back of her tongue.

He then stood up, turned around, and pretended to show off the flowers next to him, spitting them into the flowerbed.

Even if Qianqiu Chang'an is alright, it doesn't mean there wasn't poison targeting her inside.

When she offered him more pastries, she shook her head and refused, saying she wasn't hungry.

His eyes dimmed somewhat, but he didn't insist. Perhaps she didn't like the fruit.

He closed the lid and put it in his bag, looking at his fingers, hesitating about how to start a conversation.

"Miss Yueluo, you went out for a stroll alone with Young Master Muling a couple of days ago. I heard you fell into the water?"

"Oh, the river water is cold, probably as cold as your heart when you received my rejection."

She teased him, and he blushed.

It turns out that she had noticed all his little actions and emotions.

“The Changyu family is not a simple group. If Miss Yueluo wants to do something big, she probably needs to understand them more thoroughly.”

He knew that Zhongli Yueluo's invitation to meet him was definitely not for casual conversation or to strengthen their friendship.

They definitely want to get some substantial information from him, and he knows that.

"Oh? Then tell me, what are your advantages over them?"

Zhongli Yueluo leaned against the rattan chair, leaned closer to him, and looked up at his face.

His body also leaned back, maintaining a safe distance.

"I will at least be of use to you, is that enough?"

Zhongli Yueluo moved closer and closer, his arm supporting his body as he leaned back, until finally he leaned to the other side.

"Oh? To be used by me? Wait until you can be the master of the Qianqiu Clan before you say that."

They leaned so close that their noses almost touched, and Qianqiu Chang'an placed her hands on Zhongli Yueluo's shoulders.

"Miss Yueluo, please don't do this."

Zhongli Yueluo supported herself with one hand and raised the other hand close to Qianqiu Changhuan's cheek.

The closer he got, the faster his heart beat. Not wanting to push her away, he simply closed his eyes.

Perhaps a sliver of expectation still flickered in their hearts.

There was no movement for a long time. When he opened his eyes, he saw her fingers twirling flower petals, with a half-smile on her face.

She must be very good at manipulating people's hearts, otherwise how could she have him completely under her thumb?

She must have seen all his expressions just now, and he's a little angry!

"Miss Yueluo!"

"I thought you were the most composed one among them, but I didn't expect you to be so naive?"

She knew perfectly well that he was actually the most innocent one, but she still wouldn't let it go.

"I...I don't want to tarnish Miss Yueluo's reputation."

His eyes were half-closed, avoiding looking at her, afraid of seeing her smug, dismissive expression.

But Zhongli Yueluo held flower petals in her hand and waved them in front of him: "Why don't you dare to look at me?"

"I'm wondering if you're really our age? Why is it that sometimes I see things in your eyes that we can't understand?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the answer."

He braced his hands on the edge of the chair, swung his legs twice, jumped up, and continued forward, not caring whether Qianqiu Chang'an followed.

He watched her walk a couple of steps away before following behind, gazing at her delicate and petite figure, wanting to know everything about her.

Even though she had acted so aggressively and stated her purpose, he couldn't bring himself to dislike her at all.

"Miss Yueluo, slow down, there's something ahead..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cry of "Ah!" was heard as he fell into the muddy swamp beside him.

He wanted to say that although the flowers in front were blooming beautifully, they were growing in the mud.

Zhongli Yueluo suddenly turned into a mud doll, and even stood there in the mud for two seconds.

Looking incredulous, what had just happened?

Then, stubbornly pulling at her dress, she grabbed the grass on the bank and sat down by the roadside, her face and arms covered in mud.

Looking up at Qianqiu Changhuan, whose eyes were brimming with tears, Qianqiu Chang'an felt a little helpless and took out a handkerchief to wipe her face.

Fortunately, we didn't fall into a deeper quagmire.

"Hmph, it was my carelessness."

But she hadn't expected that there was such a place within the Wanhua Pavilion, and she hadn't brought any clothes with her.

I thought she would shed a couple of delicate tears, but it turned out to be just mud splashed into the corner of her eye.

After wiping her face clean, she found a clear lake and jumped in with a splash. Zhongli Yueluo shivered from the cold.

Qianqiu Chang'an tried to stop him, but it was too late, and water splashed all over him.

Ah! It's so cool!

"Miss Yueluo!"

"It's okay, I'm fine."

They swam in the water, washing off the mud, and then suddenly emerged from the water.

He swam to the shore in two quick strokes, hugging his shoulders and trembling.

Fortunately, Qianqiu Chang'an was prepared and brought a set of clothes: "Miss Yueluo, go to the car to change your clothes first."

After saying that, he seemed a little flustered, wondering if his actions would arouse Zhongli Yueluo's suspicion.

But she didn't think much of it. After changing her clothes in the car and wrapping herself in a thin blanket, she said, "Today's flower viewing is over. I think I should head back soon."

The two sat in the car, Qianqiu Chang'an looking at Zhongli Yueluo uneasily, while Zhongli Yueluo rested her face on her hands.

"The clothes are very beautiful, I like them very much."

He nodded, realizing he had been overthinking things, but he was also pleased that she liked what he had chosen; it was wonderful.
