Chapter 1049: Rational
Angry?
Nan Hua blinked her eyes.
She looked at Long Qian Xing in front of her. He was no longer a young man but a grown up by now. This year, he turned 20 years old, which meant that he could actually do his adulthood ceremony. Unlike women, the ceremony was more complicated.
But that was not what Nan Hua was paying attention to.
Long Qian Xing’s face had become more defined. He was very handsome and still had the same faint smile on his face. However, there was no sense of fakeness from the smile as Nan Hua had always sensed it before.
He looked like a proper gentleman. Despite rushing here with his clothes slightly crumpled, it didn’t erase his strong aura around him.
But what surprised Nan Hua the most was his tone.
His voice sounded so indulgent.
It was even more so than years ago when she was still staying by his side from time to time.
“I’m not angry, Young Master Long.” Nan Hua replied unhurriedly.
Young Master Long.
When Long Qian Xing heard the way Nan Hua called him, his eyes flashed with helplessness. Why did she not call him like she used to? He really wanted her to call him more intimately just like before.
Long Qian Xing wanted to take another step.
But in the end, he didn’t do it.
“Hua’er, are you angry because of the incident with the Empress Dowager and concubine before?” Long Qian Xing remembered that he had explained his way of thinking to Nan Hua. But at this moment, he really didn’t know what he was supposed to say to coax the young woman in front of him.
“I only accepted it because it’ll help with His Majesty’s position, but I didn’t return home at all.” Long Qian Xing tried very hard to remember that matter. To be honest, there were so many schemes directed at him that he had a trouble remember all the benefits he got from each of them.
But if it would please Nan Hua, he didn’t mind racking his brain to recall everything.
“I know, Young Master Long.”
Nan Hua was not stupid. She knew very well that he did it because it would give him benefit without him needing to do anything. And with him being away at the frontline, the one whose reputation ended up tarnished was not him but that woman.
Uh… what was her name again?
Honestly, Nan Hua never put this matter too much into her mind because she was too preoccupied with many other matters. Besides, she used to didn’t care so much about Long Qian Xing as she had already known his decision and ending.
His way of thinking was simple, but the steps could be extremely long.
He would pick the option that would give him the most benefit in the long run. There was not even a single moment where he would pick a decision that would put himself at loss.
Long Qian Xing was silent.
He looked at Nan Hua and felt that he really didn’t know what to say. When he was alone at night, unable to sleep, he would think of the things that he wanted to say to Nan Hua. But when he finally saw her, he felt that those words were stuck in his throat.
He couldn’t bring himself to say anything.
“Young Master Long is a rational person who will pick the options that will benefit you the most.” Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing. She had technically followed him in his entire journey through reading that thick and somewhat unreasonable novel.
Starting from when he just transmigrated into an unknown world, inheriting the memory of his body, and then strive for his own future in the military. He bet with his life countless times and put himself in danger by making deal with so many scheming people.
Yet, what they could see was a ‘gentleman’ who looked like an amiable person.

Not knowing how ruthless and double faced he was inside.
“Hu…”
“The most rational decision for Young Master Long right now is for you to go back to your post. A commander leaving his post for a long period of time will cause a lot of people to complain.” Nan Hua didn’t move from her position at all. Her brain was calmly analyzing the cause and effect of what she could see.
“Not to mention, there are several commanders who didn’t like Young Master Long because of your background. They thought that Young Master Long can only rise so quickly due to General Long’s achievement at the battlefield. When they had the chance, they would happily report this matter in order to put you down.”
Once she had finished, Nan Hua blinked her eyes once. “Am I right, Young Master Long?”
Long Qian Xing stared at Nan Hua.
In the past, Nan Hua rarely speak more than a few sentences. Her reply was usually so short and soft, but behind her words and action, she was being tactful of her surroundings. Long Qian Xing understood it very well.
That was why he enjoyed the short time he had with Nan Hua.
She might not speak a lot, but her presence and her understanding of him made him looked at her favorably.
But now that he was facing her directly, Long Qian Xing realized that Nan Hua was just usually lazy to speak a lot. She was smart and didn’t like to explain her thought process to others.
But it didn’t mean that she couldn’t.
If she had to explain a lot of things, Nan Hua could do it very well and even quite articulate.
That was also why the noble ladies couldn’t harm her even if they wanted to.
Long Qian Xing smiled bitterly. “Yes, that’s right, Hua’er.”
Nan Hua didn’t continue her words and merely looked at Long Qian Xing. Her clear black obsidian eyes seemed to be seeing right through him.
And Long Qian Xing looked back at Nan Hua, his thoughts were firm at this moment.
