Rebirth: Miss Xiao doesn’t want the heir apparent anymore

Fu Linglong walked in an orderly manner and moved her steps lightly. Xie Chenyan also slowed down and walked side by side with her.

Yu Lei followed with several guards.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie, can we buy two lanterns and put them over there?"

Fu Linglong pointed to the shore opposite them, where there were rows of peach blossom trees. The peach blossoms on the trees were in bud. Men and women were walking among them under the trees. There were also people squatting on the shore to light lanterns. It was not yet evening, and the river was already floating. There were many lanterns of all kinds.

"Okay." Xie Chenyan responded with a normal expression. This was his first time going out to a crowded place.

When he was young, his parents warned him that there were many bad people outside and they would not let him out. Although the family was very happy, it was not as lively and prosperous as outside.

People from the Xie family cannot come out at will. They must defeat people selected from the clan to ensure that they have the ability to protect themselves.

The two came to a stall filled with various lanterns.

Fu Linglong smiled and asked, "Mr. Xie, which one do you want?"

"Just that Clivia." Xie Chenyan pointed at one casually.

"I want that." Fu Linglong pointed to a peach blossom-style lantern. Remembering that there were several people following behind her, she asked again, "Do you want it?"

"No." Several people refused in unison.

Fu Linglong was just about to take out the silver, but Xie Chenyan took the lead and took out a 20-tael silver ingot and asked, "Is it enough?"

"Enough, enough." The stall owner nodded and was about to ask for change, but Xie Chenyan had already walked away.

"Sir, you haven't got any change yet?" the stall owner shouted loudly.

Xie Chenyan turned around and said, "No need to look for it."

It was too troublesome to carry so many things, so his grandfather and parents kicked him out and were afraid that he would starve, so they stuffed him with a lot of money and banknotes.

"Thank you, Master, there are few people over there, let's go there." Fu Linglong pointed not far away with a smile.

Fu Linglong and Xie Chenyan came to the bank where there were few people, lit the lanterns, gently placed them on the river, and pushed them out.

"Ah, help..."

There was a girl of fifteen or sixteen who accidentally fell into the river. She was splashing in the water and shouted for help.

Just as Xie Chenyan was about to go on, Fu Linglong stopped him, "Do you want to marry her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, while Xie Chenyan was still stunned, Fu Linglong jumped down and slowly swam towards the woman.

Xie Chenyan frowned and leaned to the side, looking worried at the people in the water.

Fu Linglong swam to the woman's side and dragged her to the shore. Several girls on the shore stretched out their hands to pull them ashore.

The girl who fell into the water was taken away by a few people she knew. Before leaving, she thanked Fu Linglong and asked her from which family she belonged. He wanted to visit her another day to thank her, but Fu Linglong refused.

"Ah..."

Xie Chenyan took off his outer robe and covered Fu Linglong's body. The February day was still a little cold, and Fu Linglong's lips were a little purple from the cold. "Miss Fu, let's find a place to change clothes."

"My feet are cramped and I can't walk." Fu Linglong whispered.

In fact, she was fine and just wanted to take the opportunity to gain sympathy.

Xie Chenyan picked her up and walked towards the inn where he was staying, not noticing Fu Linglong's successful smile at all.

"Mr. Xie, do you know why I stopped you just now?" Fu Linglong asked in a low voice.

"Why?" Xie Chenyan was also confused.

"That girl fell into the water. If you go to save her, if you come into contact with her, he may rely on you."
