Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Clang!
The iron ring fell to the ground, rolling several tis before slowly coming to a stop.
Feng Yuanxi was a bit annoyed.
Stupid Briquette, it’s actually slacking off, so there will be no dinner for it tonight!
Through Feng Yuanxi’s eyes, Briquette understood his aning, and its stomach growled.
It was close to dinner ti.
It, it wouldn’t bow for a asly al!
With a twist of its head, it struck a posture of unwavering determination.
Having failed to intimidate it with his gaze, Feng Yuanxi then addressed Gu Qingluan, explaining, “Beautiful Sister, Briquette is a bit stupid. I’ll train it more and showcase its performance to you next ti.”
Gu Qingluan nodded with a smile.
In terms of intelligence, that seemingly lively and clever SteamBun couldn’t compare to Briquette.
This tiny creature may seem dark and unremarkable on the surface, but within it hid remarkable qualities.
Nevertheless, observing it on this particular day, she felt assured that Feng Yuanxi wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
Yet, in response to Feng Yuanxi’s statent, Briquette grew visibly agitated.
Which part of it is stupid?
It’s about having principles!
It’s about having pride, do you understand?
After playing with Yuanxi for a while, Gu Qingluan got up to take her leave.
Yuanxi was reluctant to part.
Influenced by him, Gu Qingluan also felt a hint of lancholy upon parting.
Jing Feng was speechless.
It’s not like it’s a life-or-death separation; it’s just a few streets away. Was there a need for this?
Gu Qingluan suddenly turned and asked him, “Jing Feng, I have a question I’d like to ask you. Can we go out for a mont?”
Jing Feng was puzzled. What did Miss want to ask him?
“Beautiful Sister is calling you, go quickly,” Yuanxi urged.
Jing Feng could only follow Gu Qingluan outside the wall.
“Five years ago, did your master bring back a child from Tianjing?” Gu Qingluan asked abruptly.
Jing Feng was taken aback by the question and looked at her warily. “1 don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Gu Qingluan gazed at him, not missing the fleeting surprise in his eyes. He indeed knew!
“I already know. Your master brought back an illegitimate child five years ago. There’s no need to pretend you don’t know.”
Jing Feng didn’t understand how she could know about this matter. They had concealed their identities when they ca to Tianjing, and no one should know that His Highness had brought back an illegitimate child to the capital back then.
Gu Miss seed so certain… Could it be that she had discovered their identities?
Even so, why was she asking about this?
Did it have anything to do with her?
“Jing Feng, let’s not beat around the bush. I’m bringing up this matter because I’ve already confird that the child is the one my friend lost. My friend is critically ill now and just wants to see the child one last ti.”
Gu Qingluan’s words were earnest, and Jing Feng was left dumbfounded. “Really… really?”
“Of course it’s true. Why would I lie to you?” Gu Qingluan shot him a glance. Jing Feng asked with excitent, “Who’s your friend? Where does she live?” If what she said was true, wouldn’t His Young Master soon have a mother!
Ah!
His Young Master is about to have a biological mother!
How touching!
He had to tell His Young Master this good news.
No, he had to tell Master first.
Master didn’t seem to like His Young Master’s mother. If he rashly told His Young Master, Master would surely be furious.
But no matter what, this was good news after all!
They had searched for five years, nearly six. They were finally going to succeed. Suppressing her excitent, Gu Qingluan calmly said, “Because my friend is being pursued by enemies, she’s currently hiding in a secluded place. 1 can’t tell you where. First, tell where the child is, and I’ll take him to see my friend.” “The child is—” Jing Feng suddenly stopped.
Gu Qingluan’s breath caught in her throat. Seeing he wasn’t speaking, she almost couldn’t breathe. “Just say it!”
“I will report this matter to Master. Miss Gu, why don’t you wait inside for a while?”
At this critical mont, Jing Feng didn’t forget his identity and duty.
Gu Qingluan was almost driven to death by him.
Damn, is it that hard to say it?
Would it kill him to say speak up?
“Do you want to say it or not? My friend is on the brink of death. If you delay them from eting for possibly the last ti, you’ll be a sinner.”
With those words spoken, she departed, her sleeves swishing as she went. “Wait!”
Jing Feng hurriedly called out to her.
He couldn’t bear the weight of such a grave accusation.
Gu Qingluan walked away, leaving him with a cold and indifferent silhouette, not bothering to glance back.
As she was about to disappear, Jing Feng panicked and blurted out, “It’s Young Master!”
