"I can ask for anything?" Although Chu Qing-Yan was astonished, she knew that seldom did this iceberg take the initiative to offer. If she wasted this opportunity, she would've spurned herself.

He was accustomed to having everything controlled in the palm of his hand. Rarely was there a time where he allowed the other party to ask. However, his mind recalled that one of the advisors' answer sheet had written 'ask and you shall supply', and Xiao Xu couldn't help but frown, "As long as it's reasonable."

Chu Qing-Yan's pair of eyes twinkled and she couldn't help but extend her hand to tug on his sleeves. With a face full of entreaty, she asked, "Can I see my parents?"

Since stepping into Prince Ying's manor, she hadn't seen her daddy and mommy again. Whenever the curtain of night fell, the feeling of homesickness would start to flood in.

Xiao Xu took in the yearning and anticipation in the depth of her eyes and faintly agreed to say, "Certainly."

Chu Qing-Yan was overjoyed at this unexpected good news, "Your Highness is a good person!"

Xiao Xu was slightly stunned by her. This was the first time he was praised as a good person, and it was also from a half-grown child! In the past, the outside rumor of him was that he was a monster that murdered without blinking an eye, so little kids, aside from Xiao Ran, wouldn't dare get close to him. These two words placed on him really made people feel a sense of novelty.

But after being delighted, a thread of doubt arose in Chu Qing-Yan's heart, and she couldn't help but subconsciously take a look outside the window. Doubting in her heart, she wondered, was it because summer had arrived, and the weather got hotter, therefore, the cold air around the big block of ice's body was also affected? Was that why his words and actions were starting to have a human flavor?

However, Xiao Xu's next words successfully dispelled this ideas of hers.

"But if you don't get better within three days, then everything we discussed is voided."

Chu Qing-Yan glared at that righteously leaving figure, feeling helpless. As expected, old gingers were still spicier (1).

"Xi Ning, hand me the medicine." She didn't believe that she wouldn't recover in two days' time!

Xi Ning agreed in a loud voice and happily went to the kitchen to carry the medicine.

Only, when she came back, behind her followed a guy that looked even prettier than a girl.

When she could clearly see that person was Air Spirit, Chu Qing-Yan couldn't help but recall the scene where she met him for the first time.

Everyone loves beauty, so the first time Chu Qing-Yan saw him, she was dazzled, only, this person's expression was indifferent and didn't even bother to look at her. Chu Qing-Yan recomposed herself and looked at Xi Ning, waiting for her to explain.

"Master, this is the highly skilled doctor that His Highness invited over, the Honorable Air Spirit. It was all thanks to the Honorable Air Spirit that you were able to have a narrow escape from death this time." When Xi Ning received her master's questioning look, she smilingly introduced Air Spirit.

So, the person who saved her was this guy who didn't even look to be 20 years old. Chu Qing-Yan was slightly astonished. However, she still put on an expression appropriate for a small child to have, "Thank you, Honorable Air Spirit."

"Your address of this servant, this humble person cannot shoulder it." Air Spirit was somewhat impatient. This Chu Qing-Yan had a face full of simpleness, she simply didn't have a noble family daughter's unflustered temperament. In the future, when she followed by His Highness's side, His Highness still needed to take care of her? He looked down a little on these type of simple, unsophisticated, weak and delicate females.
