e family has not eaten meat for a long time."Wang glanced at Cui with speechless disappointment. An Nuan felt even more worried about her mother's intelligence, and she tugged at Cui."But Cui didn't u...Xiao Qin's heart was pounding with anxiety. When Ye Er suddenly raised his hand, she felt a jolt of fear, thinking he might hit her.

So should she hide or not

Just now she was cursing the Dog Emperor, not him. He... wouldn't hit her, would he

What can I do

His hand was getting closer and closer to her face. Should she move away

But she had something to ask Ye Er today. If she avoided him, wouldn't that be too rude

For a moment, Xiao Qin wrestled with her emotions. She gritted her teeth and then closed her eyes as if making up her mind.

It's fine, what if we let him give us some information by asking him to fight again

The Princess of the Northern Frontier was her savior. To protect the princess, she'd take a slap from him without hesitation!

Ye Er had long been lost in his own 'dreamscape', oblivious to anything amiss with Xiao Qin. In his dreams, he'd countless times wanted to touch the person before him, but each time his hand stretched out, just as it was about to reach her, she would vanish from his dreamscape.

He thought this time would be the same, she would disappear, and he would wake up.

The warmth coming from her palm left him completely stunned. This time… he had actually touched her.

And she did not disappear.

At that moment, joy surged through him, the curve of his smile was so obvious.

Xiaocheng thought she would be slapped, so she closed her eyes and waited nervously for a while. She kept comforting herself in her heart, "Anyway, just let him slap me once. And looking at Ye Er's sickly face, he probably doesn't have much strength."

Just let him hit it once, it shouldn't hurt much.

She bit her lip, already prepared to accept a slap from him, but the sensation on her face made her heart tighten.

He... What does this mean

She could distinctly feel Ye Er's palm pressed against her face, and it didn't hurt at all.

This... Even though Ye Er isn't in good health, his strength seems a little too weak, doesn't it

This slap, let alone the pain, she used more strength to touch her own face than he did.

Is he really so weak!

But speaking of it, no matter how hard he hits, shouldn't he take his hand away now

"Qin'er."

"!"

Ye Er's soft "Qin'er" startled Xiao Qin, causing her to snap awake.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Er's bottomless eyes gazing at her with tenderness and affection. Her gaze was lost in thought, obviously trapped in some kind of emotion.

Xiaoqin stared with incredulous eyes, she suspected that she might have misheard just now

Ke Ye Er looked into her eyes... they were filled with longing and reluctance!

How could this be

Xia Qin desperately wanted to deny the emotions in Ye Er's eyes at this moment, but she couldn't deceive herself.

Her eyes held the same look Ye Er used to have when she looked at Jiang Qingyang.

When she still had feelings for Jiang Qingyang, she would look at him like this, her eyes filled with affection. She would silently and unnoticed watch him, as if nothing else existed in the world except for him.

But how could that be

How could Ye Er look at her with such eyes

Could it be that Ye Er mistook her for someone else Someone she fancies

It has to be this way, otherwise, given her relationship with Ye Er, how could Ye Er possibly look at her like that

Xiaoqin, who thought she had figured things out, suddenly stood up. She looked at Ye Er with anger, "You...what are you doing I am Xiaoqin, not your...your..."

Xiao Qin really felt that Ye Er had mistaken her for someone else. They were having a good conversation, and he suddenly did this, mistaking her for another woman. She was naturally very upset about it.

As Xiaoqin moved, Ye Er finally came to his senses. Looking at his hand still raised in the air, Ye Er's expression changed.

He… he wasn't dreaming. The feeling just now was real, he truly touched her face.

He actually offended her.

Realizing this, Ye Er's face turned pale in an instant and she stood up abruptly, looking completely flustered.

"I... I..."

At this moment, his mind was a complete blank. He knew he should apologize, say something to make amends, but his whole body was tense as a rock, his lips trembling but unable to form any words.

His heart sank like it was filled with lead, wanting to save her but feeling like it was too late. His glazed eyes stared into Xiaoqin's, his heart almost in his throat.

She... should be very angry, right

The two just stared at each other, not knowing how long it had been. Perhaps Xiaoqin thought of something, because a cunning glint suddenly appeared in her eyes as she sat back down.

She tapped her fingers on the table, "Ye sir, please sit down."

Ye Er's head buzzed. Right now, whatever she said, he could only obey.

Seeing him looking so terrified, his face so pale, Xiao Qin didn't know why, but her heart softened. However, thinking of her purpose today, she gritted her teeth secretly, deliberately tightening her face and said to Ye Er in a serious tone, "I'm a little angry now."

“...”

Ye Er pursed her lips, not knowing how to explain. All she could do now was lower her head and say, "I'm sorry."

The other party was truly clueless as to why they had suddenly gone mad and acted in such a way toward her.

It was his transgression.

Xiao Qin raised an eyebrow. "You should apologize, my face isn't something just anyone can touch."

"I..."

Ye Er's pale face slowly lifted, wanting to say something, but Xiao Qin raised her hand, stopping him.

"Let me finish my words first. You just suddenly mistook me for another woman and even attacked me. This is not the behavior of a gentleman, so I am indeed very angry."

Ye Er didn't really listen to what Xiao Qin said after. When she said that she had been mistaken for someone else, he was already arguing with her in his heart. She was her, and he would never mistake her for anyone else in his life.

That way, he could only say it in his heart, not daring to express it at all.

After Xiaoqin finished speaking, she continued with a touch of audacity, "However, this county princess isn't someone who is relentless. Since your actions have offended this county princess in some ways, you must pay something, and this county princess will then let it go."

Xiao Qin had said it all, and Ye Er wasn't a fool. Naturally, she could guess what Xiao Qin would say next. She straightened her face at this moment, cooperated with her, and nodded slightly:

"This matter was indeed my fault. I wonder what the County Princess would have me pay"

Xiao Qin pretended to think for a moment, then said seriously, “This princess wants to gossip about the emperor’s thoughts right now. Mr. Ye is a close confidant of the emperor and should know what the emperor will do to the Prince of Beijang or rather the Princess of Beijang next. This princess wants you to tell me.”

As expected, a smile curved the corner of Ye Er's lips. The tension from before eased considerably with her words and attitude. Her eyes, now full of tenderness, looked at her, "Alright, since the princess wants to know, I'll tell you."at is why, after burying the body, this was found.I just want to know what Mo Yun Jing is thinking. Will he show up nextAfter all, the Princess of Beijiang came here in person, and he still doesn't sh...
