The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

2400 Marry In

Xiao Ba stretched lazily and revealed her thin waist.

The few colorful pearls on her clothes rang as they swayed lightly and were extremely eye-catching.

“How can I remember…” She dragged her last syllable in an innocent and alluring manner.

In her eyes, those people looked the same, and she could not differentiate them.

Yan Qing pressed his thin lips against each other and loosened his grip.

Seeing that he did not speak, Xiao Ba shrugged her shoulders and softly said, “Sigh, since Lord Yan Qing doesn’t want to go, then—”

“Let’s go,” said Yan Qing.

His expression looked calm, and nobody could not tell what he was feeling. As long as I don’t meet those people, it should be fine.

Xiao Ba revealed a bright smile. “Okay!”

She took small steps toward Yan Qing.

A fragrance wafted over.

“Then, shall we go?”

However, Yan Qing did not move as his gaze landed on her face.

As she just took an afternoon nap, her face was still slightly flushed, and her hair was a little messy. A few strands of hair hung loosely on her neck.

She was naturally pretty and very charming. Now that she had a few hints of lethargy, her movements were even more mesmerizing.

She seemed like a wind that silently blew the spring waters.

Xiao Ba took a step out. Seeing that Yan Qing did not follow her, she turned around to look at him. “Lord Yan Qing, what’s wrong?”

She touched her face. Is there something dirty on my face?

Yan Qing paused and remarked, “Your hair is messy.”

Xiao Ba was dazed for a moment, and she blinked her pretty eyes before she pulled Yan Qing’s arm.

Yan Qing knitted his brows slightly. “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Ba couldn’t pull him forward, so she pulled his arm to the side and leaned over. “Let me take a look.”

Yan Qing looked down and realized that Xiao Ba was staring at the sword in his hands.

This sword was bright and sharp, and it clearly reflected her appearance.

So she is using it as a mirror… Yan Qing understood and could not decide if he should move or stay still, so he just stood there.

Xiao Ba leaned forward slightly. After taking a close look at the reflection on the sword body, she softly muttered, “It is a little messy…”

She leaned over, and the few loose strands of hair gently brushed past the back of Yan Qing’s hand with a foreign itchiness.

He clenched his head slowly, and one could see his veins on his forceful and thin palm.

Xiao Ba took out an ornament and clipped those few strands of hair up. Following that, she lightly twirled them and stuck a hairpin in it.

Even though it was stuck in at a slanted angle, it especially revealed a lazy and casual aura.

Xiao Ba always knew how to tidy herself to look the prettiest.

“Is this okay?” Xiao Ba looked up and tilted her head toward Yan Qing.

Following her movements, the ornament swayed lightly. It was especially charming next to her white, thin, and almost translucent earlobe.

At this point, the lethargy in her eyes had already disappeared. Her cheeks were flushed slightly, and the blush was much fainter. Only that pair of eyes glistened.

Yan Qing’s heart seemed to be hit by something. He welcomed her gaze.

Clear, beautiful, genuine, and alluring.

A thought suddenly surfaced in Yan Qing’s heart: Should not go out. If she goes out with this appearance, many people will definitely see her.

However, he quickly recovered his senses.

Noticing the thought that just flashed across his mind, he pressed his thin lips tightly, and his heart beat harshly. Why did I have such thoughts? Xiao Ba is beautiful and loves the crowd. Besides, she clearly has important things to do since she wants to go to the medicinal mountain now. I really should not have such thoughts.

Seeing that Yan Qing did not speak for a long time and even slightly knitted his brows, Xiao Ba was confused. “Do I not look good like this?”

That can’t be. My aesthetics won’t go wrong. This is clearly great!

Knowing Yan Qing’s character of being a man of few words, Xiao Ba did not hope that this ice mountain would say any compliments. However, it could not be that he did not know what was pretty, right?

Yan Qing recovered her senses, looked at her, paused for a moment, and still said, “You look good.”

Extremely good.

Xiao Ba lightly grunted. It’s just those three words after so long? This Lord Yan Qing is really a man of few words. However, there doesn’t seem to be much meaning to hold this against him.

Xiao Ba forcefully accepted this compliment. After all, she still had to ask him for a favor.

“That’s great.” Her lips curled up, and she turned to leave.

Suddenly, a thick and forceful palm held her hand.

Xiao Ba was dazed as she turned around and looked at Yan Qing in shock. To be more accurate, it was their tightly interlocked hands. “Lord Yan Qing, why are you holding my hand?”

Yan Qing’s expression was as calm and composed as usual.

Hearing this, he knitted his brows slightly. “Didn’t you want to go to the medicinal mountain to show them?”

After a pause, he let go of her hand. “If I’ve offended you, please forgive me, Miss Xiao Ba.”

Xiao Ba snorted and stuck up her thumb. “Lord Yan Qing, I realized that you’re becoming more skilled.”

He does know the logic of acting to the fullest! I did not even think of it before.

Thinking of this, she took a step forward and directly held Yan Qing’s arm. She leaned over closely, and her soft and thin hands lightly held Yan Qing’s. “Let’s go then, Brother Yan Qing!”

…

The two of them walked out while holding hands.

The moment they walked out, they met Wu Yao, who just returned from the Heaven Gate.

“Hm? Xiao Ba, Yan Qing, are you going out to play?”

Xiao Ba was embarrassed.

She did not even have the chance to explain to Fifth Brother and the rest previously, and now they met him again! The key was they were outside now… Hence, she could only choose to nod.

Wu Yao looked at the duo’s hands, and he lightly grunted.

Even though Yan Qing seemed to forcefully pass in all aspects, Wu Yao still felt infuriated when he saw his own sister so close to him.

“Come back early!” Then, Wu Yao did not stay any longer and returned to the yard.

Xiao Ba coughed and hurriedly pulled Yan Qing.

Wu Yao returned to the yard and glanced at Cen Yi standing at the door. “Big Brother, did you see Xiao Ba and Yan Qing going out just now?”

Cen Yi nodded.

“This Yan Qing really hides his tricks up his sleeves. He easily tricked our Xiao Ba!” Wu Yao came to the stone table and poured himself a cup of tea to rid himself of the anger.

Cen Yi glanced at him and nonchalantly said, “He’s marrying into the family.”

“Pfft—” Wu Yao spat out a mouthful of tea.

He looked at Cen Yi in shock. Then, this shock gradually turned into admiration. No wonder Big Brother did not have much of a reaction beforehand. He was actually waiting for this?!

“Marrying in? His Grace is willing to agree?”

Yan Qing was that person’s right-hand man!

Faint smiling intent flashed across Cen Yi’s nonchalant and cold eyes before it quickly disappeared. “Of course.”
