Xie Ying looked for a long time but did not see Qing Chang'an. Instead, he saw Xiao Chen and his follower Jian Wu riding by.

She originally thought that with so many people around, Xiao Chen would not notice her even if she looked at him openly.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, that person met his eyes.

Xie Ying opened her mouth in a panic and even made a mistake in her greeting, which made her face red.

And what about Xiao Chen?

As always, he has no expression on his face. He seems friendly, but in fact he is very distant.

It was not until Xiao Chen rode away that Xie Ying let out a sigh of relief, "Was I too embarrassing just now?"

she asked Mingzhu.

Mingzhu pouted, "Miss, you were flustered, so you made a mistake."

Xie Ying: “…”

"Miss, shouldn't you be focusing on His Royal Highness Prince Chen, who spotted you accurately at a glance in such a messy crowd?"

"You didn't see it. Even if he saw me, it was as if he didn't see me." He didn't even smile.

It's really hard to understand!

Xie Ying looked at Mingzhu and was about to ask if Xiao Chen had any problem with her when she saw Qing Changan and Ada walking towards them.

Obviously, Qing Changan must have seen her, so he came directly to her, "Stop talking, Qing Changan is here."

Mingzhu followed Xie Ying's gaze and nodded quickly, "Oh."

"Aying." Qing Chang'an smiled and clasped his fists in greeting.

Xie Ying also returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Mr. Qing, how have you considered that matter?"

In the past few days, the news that Xiao Chen carried Xie Ying to the Imperial Hospital and then carried her out of the palace has spread.

Qing Chang'an had been depressed for several days and was certain that no matter what he did, she would not look back.

Even if he is unwilling to cancel the engagement, he will be forced to do so in the end.

Qing Changan asked: "Is it inconvenient to talk here?"

Xie Ying looked at the people coming and going, the carriages, and the horses. It was indeed a bit messy. "Then why don't we go for a walk along the riverbank?"

At the riverbank, Qing Changan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I feel a little tired today, let's get in the carriage and talk."

"it is good."

As they spoke, the two of them got on the carriage.

Ada greeted Mingzhu with a smile. Mingzhu pursed her lips and her smile was not as happy as before.

"Even if my son and your daughter are not destined to be together, shouldn't Miss Mingzhu dislike me because of this?" Ada said with a smile.

Mingzhu indeed had that thought.

Since the young lady doesn't want to be on good terms with Lord Qing, she should also keep her distance from Ada.

Mingzhu was a little embarrassed. "No, don't misunderstand me."

Ada smiled.

Xie Zheng frowned slightly, "Mingzhu, get in the carriage."

"Oh yes."

Mingzhu stepped on the horse stool to get on the carriage. Seeing that the door of the carriage was closed, she did not go in, but sat outside with Xie Zheng and Ada.

In the carriage, the young lady knows Kung Fu, so she won't be bullied.

Inside the carriage, two people who were once quite familiar with each other became more and more unfamiliar.

Xie Ying asked: "Then I'll take you back?"

"Then I'll have to trouble Aying." Qing Chang'an replied with a smile.

"No need to bother," Xie Ying said after a pause, "Have you decided when to come? It's been more than half a month."

"Aying, are you so impatient?" Qing Chang'an asked with a smile, as if joking, as if he had already let go.

Xie Ying felt a little ashamed. She was indeed a little anxious. "Sorry."

Qing Changan smiled and said, "No, it's my fault. I should have given you freedom earlier, but I was busy these days and didn't have time, so I delayed it."

It turned out to be the case.

Xie Ying felt even more ashamed.

Qing Chang'an felt like his heart was bleeding when he saw the girl's blushing face. He had almost married this girl with great difficulty, but now he was going to let it go like this before he even got her home?

Not reconciled!

But what if you are unwilling to do so?

"I heard," Qing Chang'an said calmly. When Xie Ying looked at him, he also looked at Xie Ying, "You and His Royal Highness Prince Chen are finally going to be together."

"Who said that?" Xie Ying was a little surprised. How could there be such a rumor?

Also, how could he say that!

"I heard that Prince Chen carried you into the Imperial Hospital that day, and then carried you out of the hospital. I guess your relationship is progressing smoothly." Qing Changan smiled, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. If it's true, I'm just happy for you."

Xie Ying shook her head. "It is true that when I was injured that day, His Royal Highness Prince Chen carried me to the Imperial Hospital. However, it is false that lovers finally get married."

"That's okay. It's not like you fell in love with someone else before we broke off the engagement."

Xie Ying's heart choked and he lowered his eyes, "I'm very sorry."

It is true that she fell in love with someone else before she broke off the engagement. To be more precise, when she liked Xiao Chen, she didn't know that it was love. Then, out of fear or to escape, she hurriedly got engaged to Qing Changan.

Xie Ying felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She raised her eyes and looked at Qing Changan again, "I'm really sorry. I couldn't figure out my own feelings at that time. I ruined your reputation."

"Don't say sorry to me, you can only blame us for not being destined to be together." Qing Chang'an's voice was also moved and became a little hoarse, "But I still have extravagant hope. If one day, I also know that day may not come, I hope that you can always think of someone like me. I will always wait for you."

"Wait for me?"

"Well, my love for you is not just empty words." Qing Chang'an said lightly. His eyes and his tone turned this sunny day into a cloudy day, making people feel a little sad.

Xie Ying didn't know what to say.

Qing Changan continued to ask: "After we cancel the engagement, will you get engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Chen? Or will you get married right away?"

A seemingly unintentional question.

In fact, the nails of his hands in his sleeves were embedded in the flesh of his palms, and he would not give up until he reached the Yellow River...

Xie Ying shook her head. Because of Qing Changan's honesty, she did not hide anything. "It's not what you think. I have always admired Prince Chen, but His Highness Prince Chen has no feelings for me at all."

Qing Chang'an said word by word: "He doesn't have any feelings for you?"

Xie Ying nodded, "Yes."

"So what are you going to do?"

Xie Ying looked at Qing Chang'an. She didn't want to say that she came here today to talk to Qing Chang'an about breaking off the engagement.

Qing Changan looked at her and smiled, "Don't worry, I agree to cancel the engagement. However, we have known each other for such a long time, you should know what kind of person I am. I will never hurt you, I just care about you."

"If we can't be husband and wife, can we not be friends?"

Although there was an empress who advocated gender equality, the current situation in Cang Yun Kingdom was still too advanced for men and women to be friends.

"You are now in the National Girls' School. Maybe we will serve in the same court in the future. By then, we will have official dealings with each other. Will you ignore me?" Qing Chang'an smiled, his eyes gentle, just like when he first met him.
