He pinched her face and said, "Yu'er, this is only possible after we get married, understand?"

Why does she understand some things, but about other things, she is like a naive child, confused and ignorant?

She nodded, "Yan Qing doesn't like it?"

"As long as it's Yu'er, I like it, but...you don't need Yu'er to do this now, understand?"

"I understand Yanqing."

Just like he said before, he didn't want her to regret it, but she was always willing to do it as long as it was for him.

"Then, what reward does Yan Qing want?"

"What I want is for me to occupy a larger place in Yuer's heart every day, for him to trust me a little more, and get closer to me, closer and closer." This is what he hopes for.

When she heard his words, she hugged him tightly, as if she was extremely surprised.

"Okay, I remember."

However, in the end, he was the one who compromised.

She assured him again and again that this was the last time.

And he promised to be present, and if something outside his acceptable range came up, he could choose to be present, and that was the condition of his agreement.

……

After getting ready, the two came to the house. Xiao Yanqing observed in the dark, watching their conversation.

"Miss Qingyu!" Xiang Heng, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped in anxiously.

"Mr. Xiang." She stood up to greet him.

"Miss Qingyu, are you okay? I was away for some time. I didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen in Yongqing City." Xiang Heng asked while paying attention to her condition.

She raised the corners of her lips and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for your concern. I'm fine now."

"Really?" Xiang Heng still felt concerned.

"Yes, I am lucky." She smiled amusingly.

Xiang Heng knew that this was not the case. This was definitely intentional, because people in Yongqing City were saying that the real culprit this time was most likely a member of the Jiang family.

Perhaps hurting her was just to eliminate suspicion.

"Miss Qingyu, if you need any help, just tell me and I will definitely help you."

She paused, her eyes flickering as she outlined the corners of her lips. "It's alright, Mr. Xiang. I..."

Seeing that she was about to refuse again, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and said seriously: "Miss Qingyu, you promised me that you would tell me if there is anything."

When he saw that she didn't respond for a long time, he realized that he had behaved rudely.

"I'm sorry, Miss Qingyu, I just want to help you." For a terrible home, in his opinion, the best outcome is to stay away from this danger.

She lowered her eyes in hesitation, "Does Mr. Xiang really want to help me?"

"of course."

"What if this matter concerns your family?"

"My family?" Xiang Heng frowned and shook his head, "I don't understand."

The smile in her eyes deepened again, "Mr. Xiang is still..."

"Miss Qingyu, tell me. I can listen to it."

After pondering for a moment, she spoke, "Mr. Xiang, you need to tell your father this: 'In that case three years ago, someone found a body again.'"

Xiang Heng heard such strange words spoken beneath a peaceful smile.

"I still don't understand, does this have anything to do with my father?"

"Mr. Xiang, the less you know, the better. You just need to tell me your father's reaction."

Xiang Heng had a look of astonishment on his face, his mind was wavering. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.

"Miss Qingyu suspects that my father is related to Jiang Zhuo?"

"That's impossible." Xiang Heng denied it immediately. Although he was not involved in officialdom much, he knew his father's character.

She asked nonchalantly, "Does Mr. Xiang's family know that you came to see me?"

"know."

"Is it always stopping, and getting stronger and stronger?"

"Yes, it is."

"Why did you come anyway?"

"I'm worried about you, Qingyu, I want to help you, I..."

"Your father refused because he was afraid that I would gain something from you. I think they have gone from wanting you to participate in government affairs to staying away from them now."

"If they can't get more power, they will generally choose to go along with the corrupt, or settle for the next best thing."

Xiang Heng suddenly realized that his father had not asked about his wishes nor stopped him recently.

She saw through his thoughts at a glance, "Master Xiang, if you want to help me, you only need to do this one thing. If you don't want to, it's human nature, I understand."

“The decision is entirely yours.”

She lowered her head slightly as if to say goodbye to Xiang Heng.

Xiang Heng saw this and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand, "Qing Yu, I'll help you."

Her heart suddenly tightened, and for some reason, it sounded unusually heavy in her ears.

"I believe my father is a fair official. But Qingyu, if what you want to do is achieved, will you consider me..."

"No!" Before she could respond, a chilling voice echoed in her ears.

Xiao Yanqing pulled her hand, separated the distance between her and Xiang Heng, and held her fingers tightly.

She looked at him with some surprise, "Yan Qing..."

Xiang Heng was so shocked that she took a long time to react when she saw the person who appeared in front of her. It was impossible for this person to appear next to her.

The brave king!

He remembered that Prince Xiao and the Jiang family were sworn enemies, but if he understood the Jiang family's attitude towards Qing Yu, it would not be surprising that they could stand together.

The three of them remained silent for a long time, and the air seemed to be frozen at this moment.

She pursed her lips. Since nothing came of it, she could only tell the truth.

"Master Xiang, I think you understand to some extent that it's not just my life that's in danger, it's also me."

"Thank you so much for always. It's really nice to chat with you."

When she finished speaking, he took her hand and prepared to go back to the inner room.

But after walking a few steps, Xiang Heng suddenly said, "Wait!"

Even though he knew that she was King Xiao's woman, and that she was of a higher status than him, his feelings for her never changed.

Qing Yu stopped in confusion and looked back at him.

"Qingyu, to me, you are brave and special. I know I am ignorant and cannot see through your heart, but I want to know the real you."

"That promise remains unchanged. If one day you want to return to a peaceful life, I will wait for you right here. If you are over 30 and still unmarried, I will still be here to marry you in a formal ceremony and welcome you."

Hearing Xiang Heng's sincere words from the bottom of his heart, she was completely stunned.

What wonderful words! Any woman would be moved by them. But why her? Is she worth such efforts and waiting?

Unfortunately, she could never give such a pure heart response.

While she was hesitating, she was dragged away by him, and Xiang Heng was also asked to leave by the guards.

"Yu'er!" He suddenly called her.

His voice also awakened her from her immersed thoughts.

He grabbed her hand angrily, "What kind of drug did you give him?!"

He didn't know how many times he had done such a stupid thing, sending her to other men again and again.

Her eyes flickered as if she had not yet recovered from the sincere words just now, "I...I didn't."

He noticed her wavering heart, and a wave of worry suddenly ignited from her, "Yu'er...are you attracted to Zeng Nuo?"
