As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Shallan said nothing.

She really wanted a gift, but of course she didn't choose it here.

The gifts here are a bit too cheap.

On her way back to the island with Fan Xiaoshu from the boundary of Anyang, she visited many places and heard many opinions.

That Fan Xiaoshu once said casually that what a man can give you determines your own status in his heart.

They will think that women who want money and power are snobs.

But he also likes such a powerful woman very despicably.

The more you focus on him, think about him, and make him spend less money and worry, the more he will get used to it, and then he will pay less and less attention to you.

In the end, I treat you like a piece of rag that is an eyesore.

Shalan felt that what Fan Xiaoshu said made sense.

She wants a gift, but not a random one that doesn't mean anything at all.

The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and just when she was about to speak, Xie Changqing took out a purse from his arms, opened it, took out the Tianguan Lock, and put it on Shalan's neck.

"Wear this one first."

As Xie Changqing spoke, he flicked the Tianguan lock hanging in front of Shalan with his fingers and straightened it for her, "The rest will wait until we return to Yaocheng."

Shallan looked down at the lock, not expecting that he would carry it with him.

Xie Changqing walked with Shalan for a while, and Shalan seemed to be very interested.

However, Xie Changqing asked several times, but his legs hurt.

Shalan always shook her head and said it didn't hurt.

After wandering around for another half an hour, people on the street began to go home. Shalan was not interested and got into the carriage with Xie Changqing.

Xie Changqing hardly spoke after that.

After getting on the carriage, he sat there without saying a word, just staring at Shalan with a pair of eyes, which were dark and unpredictable, like a beast lurking in the dark, ready to pounce at any time.

Shalan felt it so clearly, but she was not afraid of him at all.

Still looking at the lights and hustle and bustle outside the car window with a slight smile, his fingers flicked the Tianguan lock hanging around his neck.

The carriage swayed to a halt.

Shalan turned back: "Thank you——"

Xie Changqing fell asleep leaning against the car wall.

The light inside the car was a little dim, and Xie Changqing's face was hidden in the gloom. But Shalan had been sitting in the car for a long time, and she had already adapted to the darkness in the car. When she got a little closer, she saw the deep fatigue on Xie Changqing's face. and haggard.

Is he tired?
When we had dinner together and wandered the streets with her earlier, Shalan only focused on her own happiness, and there were so many people around her that she didn't notice this.

Shalan moved closer to Xie Changqing, wondering whether to wake him up and go back to sleep or let him sleep here for a while.

After getting a little closer, Shalan suddenly discovered a very thin scar on his lower jaw, which Shalan had not noticed before.

Shalan moved forward and couldn't help but put her fingers on it.

Xie Changqing, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed Shalan's wrist, and his tall and majestic body pounced forward like a sharp leopard.

boom!
He held Shalan's wrist against the wall of the car beside her.

He suddenly woke up after not getting enough sleep for a long time. Xie Changqing's eyes were bloodshot. His sullenness and wariness quickly dissipated when he saw Shalan's face, and his eyes became deep and dark, with a bit of warmth floating around.

The two looked at each other, and Shalan opened her mouth, wanting to ask him to get out of the car and rest, but the words seemed to be broken in her throat.

"Xie Changqing..."

Her eyelashes flickered for a moment, and Shalan uttered a low voice. Her sweet scent hit her face, and her glazed eyes seemed to captivate the man's heart.

Xie Changqing's Adam's apple rolled, he bent down and accurately captured the red lips that had seduced him all night, and tasted them to his heart's content.

He let go of Shalan's wrist, and his big, generous hands forcefully reached into the blue cloak, accurately grasped Shalan's waist as thin as a willow branch, and pressed her into his arms.

Shalan wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. A few intermittent words escaped from his deep kiss: "Xie Changqing...you miss me...do you miss me as a person or my body?"

Xie Changqing stopped kissing for a moment.

This question was very baffling to him.Her person and her body are all her.

Why is it so clear?
If it had been before, he would have ignored her, thinking only of his own comfort, swallowing her up and eating her clean.

But at this time, Xie Changqing knew that she cared about the answer to this question.

Reluctantly and with difficulty, he relaxed his embrace and left Shalan for a while.

The two looked at each other again for a moment, and Xie Changqing's kiss fell on Shalan's forehead, very lightly.

It's missing, it's pity, it's deep attachment.

He hugged Shalan into his arms again, this time just holding her gently and not touching her again: "Follow me to Yaocheng."

Shalan asked in an old-fashioned way: "Is it convenient for me to warm your bed?"

Xie Changqing said quietly: "I need a wife."

Shalan's heartbeat was turbulent, but she still said yin and yang: "If you lack a wife, then go home and find someone to help you arrange a marriage. After all, my status, a camp prostitute, is not worthy of a general like you."

"I don't deserve it..."

"Your princess of Great Qin has a noble status and is well worthy!"

Xie Changqing was angry and helpless.

These words were what he said to her when she found him, but now they were slapped back on her face unchanged.

"I'm not a good person either." Xie Changqing said in a dull voice, "Let's make up for the broken pot and broken lid."

Shalan said: "You are the one who broke the pot and broke the lid!"

"Row."

Xie Changqing sighed, "If you say yes, just... follow me to Yaocheng!"

Shalan didn't respond to him, pushed him away and got out of the car.

Xie Changqing also bent down and got out of the car.

He followed Shallana into the courtyard.

The door had been closed. Xie Changqing raised his hand and knocked. Unsurprisingly, there was no response.

Xie Changqing also knew how to adapt, so he pushed the door open and walked in.

Shalan had already slept on the bed, with her back to the door. Her feather hat was placed on the small table beside the bed. Her long brown hair was not untied, and her braids were hanging on the bed strings.

Xie Changqing came forward and sat on the edge of the bed, gently holding Shalan's shoulders, "Why do you want to come with me?"

Shalan turned over and lay down, "I don't want to leave just yet."

"it is good."

Xie Changqing looked at her cunning eyes, and he could feel that Shalan was a little intentional now.

It's true that she misses him, and it's not a lie to hang him up on purpose.

How could Xie Changqing have the patience to be hung up by a woman in the past?

Not realizing the promotion, he turned around and walked away.

But this person is Shallan.

It seems that everything becomes as it should be.

He wanted to make her happy, but he wasn't very good at making her happy.

If she can be happy by following her wishes, then of course she should follow her wishes.

"Get some rest." Xie Changqing casually pulled the quilt for her, got up and left.

After traveling day and night for a long time, Xie Changqing's nerves were highly tense. He was already exhausted and he urgently needed a good rest.

Shalan looked at his back and did not call him.

Just after Xie Changqing left, he slowly sat up and flicked the Tianguan Lock around his neck with his fingers.
