Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(30) Two People's Silly Talk Interaction

When the servants passed and saw who came, they immediately ran far, far away in terror to avoid him. Chu Qing-Yan sighed. Was the person in front of her such an evil demon, detestable to this point?

At this time, she surveyed her surroundings and noticed that the more they walked, the more remote the area became. A sense of worry couldn't help but to emerge from her heart. Where on earth was this guy who didn't breathe a word taking her to? She wasn't dumb enough not to notice when he sent Chu De-Chang away, let alone to say that she would believe this person had the leisure to carefreely stroll around Chu Family.

However, this person's surroundings seemed to have condensed into a lump of ice, emitting cold air and distancing him from human contact. Consequently, she had the heart to inquire, but didn't have the guts to say it.

Afraid that the other party would be unhappy and then snap her neck, after all, her arms and legs were short, her neck was so slender that it wouldn't be able to withstand such wreckage.

Xiao Xu, who continued to stroll forward, realized that the sounds of footsteps behind him seemed to get farther and farther away, and couldn't help but to stop his footsteps and turn around. He saw that little girl (1) holding her skirt up and running to catch up, but without much success, because his pace was too quick.

Xiao Xu watched as that little girl he had seen a few times before being unflustered, now anxiously trying to catch up, and couldn't help but feel a little pleased. As a result, he good-naturedly stood under a famous tall tree to wait for her.

Xiao Xu couldn't be blamed for calling Chu Qing-Yan a little girl. Even though Chu Qing-Yan had grown up in Mao village since she was small, she had done a lot of hard manual labor, not to mention that she had climbed mountains and waded through rivers. Although her age was small, her stature was already considered top-notch compared to those girls who were raised in a lady's chamber.'

But standing before Xiao Xu, she could only reach his chest, so she was still too short. Xiao Xu needed to lower his head every time to look at her, moreover, Chu Qing-Yan had a petite face, so in Xiao Xu's eyes, she was still just a little girl.

When Chu Qing Yan continued running to catch up and finally saw that glittering white gown, she finally let out a breath of relief. Only after she was able to stand steadily, did she realize something was wrong. She lifted her head immediately and she saw that tall silhouette looking even taller as the shadow was elongated under the sun and reflected on the ground near her feet.

That shallow gaze was like the ripples of blue waves in winter, beautiful yet cold.

It was clearly warm spring, but Chu Qing-Yan still couldn't help but shiver. However, she seemed to have seen a strange light flash past. Was that a smiling expression?

However, when she wanted to look at it more closely, the other party's gaze had already swept past her and turned towards a pond under the bridge; afterwards, he didn't say a word.

Not, saying, a, word?

Chu Qing-Yan was immediately stupefied. Did he want to perform a mime show with her?

"Your, Your Highness, are you tired from walking? Do you want to go sit in the pavilion over there for a moment?" Although she wanted to ignore him, after all, he was still a guest, and she herself might need a bit of his power for the later part of her life. As a result, Chu Qing-Yan racked her brain and finally came up with an opening line that didn't sound that bad.

Hearing this, Xiao Xu retrieved his gaze and once again looked at her. Marching and fighting in an army, walking a hundred li (2) a day was normal. How could he be exhausted just by walking this little bit of road? Thinking about it, the tired person should be her, that was more correct! A female's physical strength inherently was weaker than a male's, let alone to say someone so young. Xiao Xu saw that her head was full of sweat while she still pretended to look relaxed. Xiao Xu felt that this little girl really was quite cute.
