Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 764: Old Madam Long’s Attitude (3)

Walking on the stone path, Nan Hua felt that she had always been escorted by Long Qian Xing whenever she wanted to go back in most event. Not only in Long Family Residence but also in other locations.         

    

At that time, she realized that Long Qian Xing’s steps were rather slow. It was slower than his usual pace when he was walking. As a soldier, how could he walk as slow as a young lady?     

But at this time, it was this pace that he actually used when walking beside his fiancée.     

It seemed as if he was trying to slow down his pace and Nan Hua also slowed down her pace to match his. The two of them were walking like snails towards the gate, making the usually close distance into long distance.     

If Long Qian Xing’s soldiers were to see their commander being so considerate like this, their eyes might have long popped out.     

Their demonic commander was actually trying to take care of a young lady.     

What an achievement!     

Though, they would not dare to truly say it out loud or they would definitely earn another beating and long training. No one would dare to truly challenge Long Qian Xing’s patience as those who dared had already earned their punishments.     

Nan Hua paid some attention to their pace as the light within her eyes flickered. It didn’t take a long time for them to reach the gate. Even if their pace had slowed down considerably, the distance was still fairly short.     

“Hua’er, take care.”     

As they reached the gate, Long Qian Xing really felt that the road was not long enough. He really wanted to ask his grandmother to make more road so that he could take a walk for a longer period of time.     

A circular path would be even better!     

At this moment, Long Qian Xing had long forgotten that he was the one who asked his grandmother to make a straighter path in the past because he was more about efficiency. After all, he felt that it would be a waste of time to have long road without many practical use.     

If his grandmother were to hear his words, she would have long dissed her own grandson again.     

“Mhm.” Nan Hua raised her head and curtsied. Her standard movements had long been trained to match those of royalties, making her posture pleasant to look at. “Brother Long should take care too.”     

“I will.”     

Long Qian Xing smiled. He felt that he could never get bored watching Nan Hua even if it was just her little movements like this. He watched as Nan Hua entered the carriage and left. It was not every day that Nan Hua came to Long Family Residence, so he really felt that such chance was rather rare.     

If only there was another chance in the future, he wanted to make sure that there were more things that he could do to earn more time to spend with his fiancée. It was too bad if she came for such a short period of time and then left again.     

After he turned around, he saw the maidservant who usually served his grandmother waiting for him.     

She bowed. “Old Madam requested Young Master see her.”     

“I understand.”     

Long Qian Xing maintained the tranquil expression as he walked towards his grandmother’s room. Looking at his grandmother, who was staying on the bed while having the servants fan her, he smiled faintly.     

“Grandmother, why are you looking for me?” Long Qian Xing asked with a smile.     

“You’re still asking.” Old Madam Long snorted. She turned to look at Long Qian Xing. “Tell me, have you met that Luo something girl before?”     

Long Qian Xing really felt that Old Madam Long’s eyes were really sharp. Even though he tried not to act any different around Luo Qing Wei, she still noticed that he had already known her from before.     

As a person who had been on the battlefield and also facing so many things from her young age, Old Madam Long was indeed someone who had keen instinct and sharp senses. And when it came to her grandson, she would naturally be several times sharper.         

    

She had noticed that there was something odd about her grandson.     

And Old Madam Long’s style was to just ask on their face directly. There was no need for her to maintain her grandson’s face anyway.     

This rascally brat will only make her more annoyed if she tried to pry the answer through roundabout way. Since that was the case, the best would be to ask him directly and listen to what he said.     

“Miss Luo helped to gather medicine for my wounds when I was at the frontline in the past. I recognize her because it had only happened a few weeks ago.” Long Qian Xing had no other choice but to explain.     

His grandmother naturally knew the incident where he disappeared from the army for a day and returned with the head of Heavenly General Zhang. In fact, such a famous incident couldn’t be hidden at all.     

That day, Long Qian Xing had disappeared for a period of time and when he returned, his wounds were already treated. Given by the state of Long Qian Xing when he was thrown to the river, there was no way that he would bring the equipment by himself.     

Thus, the only option was that someone had helped him.     

Hearing that, Old Madam Long frowned. It was no wonder that Long Qian Xing looked a bit familiar with that young girl. While she had to admit that the Apprentice Doctor Luo was not bad, she still preferred her granddaughter.     

It couldn’t be helped.     

She’s biased!     

“Apprentice Doctor Luo is amazing, but I hope that you wouldn’t go over the line.” Old Madam Long looked at her grandson deeply. She didn’t want to be the one to break the engagement again since it had occurred with her son back then.     

It was quite embarrassing and the memory lasted for a long time for Old Madam Long.
