Reborn and Pampered Chapter 123 Reasonable and Understanding

As Qiyue spoke, she unfolded the garnts. The delicate openwork silk embroidery, the shimring tassels along the edges, the intricate design—all of it looked impossibly elaborate, even at a glance.

She explained to Bai Qingqing how to wear it properly, then added with a smile, “Just don’t wear this in front of outsiders. Especially not n.”

Bai Qingqing reluctantly tore her gaze away from the beautiful outfit. “Why not?”

“Because—”

“Miss Qiyue, the Lord is here.”

A knock sounded from outside, cutting her off. Qiyue turned her head in surprise—what was the Lord doing here at this hour? She stepped to the door and opened it. As expected, Ning Yan was standing just outside.

He glanced over her shoulder into the room and saw Bai Qingqing staring at the garnts in her hands, her eyes shining with curiosity and delight.

He strode in. “What are you looking at that’s got you so intrigued?”

Startled, Bai Qingqing looked up with a gasp, quickly using a piece of red silk to cover the clothes and stepping forward to block them. “It’s nothing. Just sothing Qiyue gave .”

She hadn’t even heard him co in. The sudden appearance gave her a fright. Her cheeks turned slightly pink, yet she stubbornly kept her back to the table, unwilling to let him see the outfit.

Ning Yan didn’t press her. Instead, he nonchalantly found a place to sit. “I heard that Princess Huaifu secured a royal favor for you?”

If you co across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from . Please report it.

At the ntion of that, Bai Qingqing’s expression grew serious. “Yes. I owe it to you. Without your help, I wouldn’t have had the ti to appeal to the princess—I would’ve been married off before I knew what was happening.”

Ning Yan gave a theatrical sigh. “Then have you figured out how you plan to thank ?”

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught her hand instinctively reaching for her waist. He looked down and said lazily, “Don’t tell you’re trying to pay back with that token again. This and that are two different matters. Nothing in this world balances out that neatly.”

Bai Qingqing quietly drew her hand back. He was impossible to please.

“I… I haven’t figured it out yet…”

She looked down, a little ashad. “I just don’t know how I could possibly repay you for what you’ve done.”

Qiyue, unable to watch her struggle, offered an explanation. “Qingqing ca to today for this very reason—she wanted to know what the Lord likes.”

Ning Yan raised an eyebrow, amusent flickering in his gaze as he looked at Bai Qingqing’s increasingly flushed face. “If you wanted to thank , why not ask directly? Why go through soone else?”

Caught in the throes of embarrassnt, Bai Qingqing was suddenly struck with inspiration—he actually had a point.

She lifted her head, eyes sparkling with hope. “Then what would Lord Ning like to do to show my gratitude?”

Exactly! She could toss the question back to Ning Yan. If he made a request she could fulfill, she’d gladly do it. And surely he wouldn’t ask for anything too outrageous, right?

Bai Qingqing thought Ning Yan was being remarkably reasonable today.

Ning Yan had only ant to tease her a little, but her bright, trusting gaze nearly dazzled him. How could soone be this naïve? Did her brother never warn her that soone like him could be dangerous?

His eyes drifted to the table peeking out behind Bai Qingqing. “To be honest, it was nothing. I rely acted on sothing I happened to hear—just a passing favor, no need to make much of it. But since you’re set on thanking … how about granting a small wish?”

“Na it. As long as it’s sothing I can do.”

Ning Yan smiled, eyes narrowing like a fox. “Oh, it’s sothing you can definitely do. I never make things hard for anyone.”
