NFBE Chapter 289
Chapter 289
The next day.
Before dawn, everyone was already dressed and ready to set off.
Rong Hengyu, dressed in plain clothes, walked up to her. He was no longer wearing the golden robes that made his skin look as white as snow and his demeanor exceptionally cold, which gave him a unique charm.
His expression was calm, his phoenix eyes shimmering, reflecting Nalan Jingwen's slightly dazed face.
Nalan Jingwen reached out and pulled him into his arms, lowered his head to gently kiss his forehead, and whispered, "Wait for me to return."
Rong Hengyu tilted his head slightly and, in full view of everyone, kissed her lips very lightly, like a gentle breeze, landing on her lips and then quickly leaving.
"Your servants will prepare everything for you, and no one will disturb us then."
Nalan Jingwen paused in his arms around his waist, his eyes darkening slightly, and pressed his palm firmly against his own.
They had never consummated their marriage. Whenever they were deeply in love, someone would interrupt them, which annoyed her. She couldn't bring herself to have what she wanted, and after it happened so many times, she got annoyed.
This trip to Baiji will last for several months. In the two years since she returned to the mainland, she has been constantly on the go and has never had a proper rest. Fortunately, the men by her side have never complained or blamed her for this. She is very lucky to have met them.
She looked down at him, "With you like this, I don't even want to leave."
Rong Hengyu smiled slightly, his phoenix eyes filled with laughter, and hooked his fingertips around her hand. "I don't want to leave you either, but I know that you also value Feng Tian very much."
Nalan Jingwen has a different kind of feeling towards Fengtian. There are many things she can't explain. Maybe it's because this body has lived in Fengtian since childhood, or maybe it's because Nalan Fengxing dotes on her as his younger sister. She can't bear to part with this country and the people around her, so she is willing to serve Fengtian.
So he didn't try to keep her, but instead prepared everything in the mansion, brewed a pot of tea, and waited for her return.
Nalan Jingwen hugged the person tighter, then finally let go.
"Take good care of Qishan and the others, and take good care of yourselves too."
"Your subject understands."
Nalan Jingwen turned his head and looked at the mirror pool behind Rong Hengyu, "You too."
Jingchi's previously dim eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately knelt on one knee, "Your subordinate obeys!"
Under her gaze, Rong Hengyu boarded the carriage.
"Your Highness, we're leaving too. Please take care."
Liu Qingxu said.
Nalan Jingwen waved to her, watching the carriage drive further and further away until it disappeared from sight, before she finally looked away.
The carriage curtain beside her was suddenly lifted, revealing a fluffy head with clear, watery eyes looking at her.
"Sister, are we leaving?"
Ah Nian wore a veil, obscuring her face, but the mere sight of her eyes was enough to make it impossible for anyone to refuse her.
Nalan Jingwen looked away.
"hold on."
Before she finished speaking, an angry shout rang out, "Who gave you permission to call her 'sister'?!"
A-Nian was so frightened that her body trembled, and she subconsciously took two steps back. Her eyes quickly filled with tears, which seemed about to fall but did not. She looked at Nalan Jingwen with tears in her eyes.
The latter frowned slightly and said to Anian, "You go in first, it's alright."
A slender figure quickly blocked their view, and Nalan Jingwen lowered his eyes to meet Nalan Yin's fierce gaze. A flash of murderous intent crossed his eyes, which Nalan Yin caught precisely.
He had just decided to kill Ah Nian.
It's all because of a name.
Nalan Jingwen's face darkened. "Don't be ridiculous."
Nalan Yin's eyes instantly reddened, but she still questioned, "Why did you let him call you that, sister? Don't you want Yin'er anymore, sister?"
Looking at his red eyes and thinking about what she had said yesterday, Nalan Jingwen didn't blame him too much. She raised her hand to touch the corner of his eye and wiped away his tears.
"Why are you crying? I didn't say I didn't want you."
Nalan Yin covered her hand with her own, rubbing her soft cheek against her palm.
"Sister, you can't let others call you that."
"It's just a name."
She's only a few years younger than Anian, so what else should we call her but "sister"?
"That's still not allowed!!"
He retorted urgently, gripping her hand tightly, determined to force her to agree.
Nalan Jingwen looked at him for a long time before finally agreeing, "Okay."
It's just a form of address; there's no need to make the two of them unhappy over such a small matter.
Nalan Yin then stopped crying and smiled, throwing herself into her arms. "Will you miss me when I'm not by your side, sister?"
Nalan Jingwen's gaze paused slightly. "You're leaving?"
Nalan Yin nodded, her voice muffled, "A message came from the pavilion last night, saying that there is something that Yin'er needs to go back to handle."
Nalan Jingwen held him without saying a word.
Nalan Yin nuzzled against her neck and continued, "Yin'er can't bear to part with her sister, so Yin'er will finish up as soon as possible and come to find her."
"When the time comes, no one else is allowed to be by my side!"
He paused, then his voice came softly from his neck, "You only need us, there can't be anyone else..."
He thought about it for a long time last night. He couldn't tolerate or accept the men around Nalan Jingwen, but he couldn't accept losing Nalan Jingwen even more. Nalan Jingwen had finally accepted him, and it wouldn't be worth it if it caused Nalan Jingwen to drift apart from him because of this.
Even so, he could only accept the men around Nalan Jingwen now, no more!
He has already regressed.
Nalan Jingwen lowered his head, took the person out of his arms, and looked into his beautiful eyes.
"I agree."
Nalan Yin originally wanted to leave without saying goodbye, wanting Nalan Jingwen to also experience the pain. However, he was unsure of his place in Nalan Jingwen's heart, whether doing so would truly hurt Nalan Jingwen or only bring shame upon himself.
He dared not gamble, but besides that, he wanted to see more of Nalan Jingwen.
After much thought, I decided to see her one last time before I left.
He stood on tiptoe and gave Nalan Jingwen a light peck on the lips.
"My sister will miss me."
"it is good."
……
The carriage moved smoothly forward. Nalan Jingwen leaned back with her eyes closed, resting. A gaze fell on her intentionally or unintentionally, sneaking up on her every now and then, like a hamster peeking out every now and then, as if she wouldn't notice.
When that gaze quietly fell on her again, she suddenly opened her eyes and met his gaze.
Ah Nian was startled and pretended to look away, as if that would allow him to escape the situation, only making things worse.
Nalan Jingwen found his appearance rather amusing, finding it quite adorable.
"Watch what I do?"
Ah Nian's clear eyes finally fell on her, then he lowered his eyes tremblingly, "I...I'm sorry."
"I...I didn't mean it."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at her again, then quickly lowered his head, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Nalan Jingwen realized what he was trying to do, so he pushed the pastries on the small table in front of him.
"Eat."
