Chapter 299 – Nan Hua’s Plan

Since the trio were being scolded, neither one of them noticed the small interaction between the two of them. Even Old Master Nan was busy adding points for the three brats to pay attention to.

Only Nan Si Qiao noticed this because she was eating. The corner of her lips twitched slightly.

'I'll just pretend not to see it.'

Nan Si Qiao swallowed the rice in her mouth and took more vegetables as if she didn't know anything. There were no outsiders here and it was unlikely that rumors would start to spread just because Long Qian Xing visited their residence, right?

Thankfully, Long Qian Xing tactfully left right after eating. Thus, his visit was relatively short.

People wouldn't be able to say that he was being improper if he were to give excuse that he was asking to meet with Feng Qian Shao regarding the mission. Even if the time was somewhat late, it could be excused by saying that he wanted to keep it a secret because the mission was supposed to be confidential.

In other words, they would be able to get away easily as long as they gave proper excuse.

Besides, who would be accusing a young child being improper together? They might not even understand the implication behind the word yet.

"Hua'er, why do you agree with Young Master Long's request?" Nan Luo asked with aggrieved tone.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "He's my fiancé."

"But that didn't mean that you have to agree." Nan Luo really wanted to spend more time with Nan Hua without that annoying Long Qian Xing. However, he could guess that it would probably be impossible.

Feng Ao Kuai also agreed with Nan Luo. "If he asks you to do something you don't want; you can reject his request."

Something she didn't want?

Nan Hua pondered while nodding her head. She only wanted to roam around the city because it would be beneficial for her to know more about the world… cough, she wanted to prepare for the upcoming of Princess Yue. It wouldn't be peaceful on that day and Nan Hua didn't really want to be caught unprepared.

Thus, this Lantern Festival was a good excuse for her to look around.

As for Long Qian Xing coming with her, Nan Hua didn't really think much about this matter. She didn't really mind him coming along if he wanted to. Besides, he was stronger than her twin brother and cousins and naturally would give more 'protection' so that she didn't have to cover up from behind.

"I don't mind."

Nan Luo: "…"

Feng Ao Kuai: "…"

The two of them looked at each other and silently vowed that they would start to influence their little sister to make sure that she would not be too close with Long Qian Xing. First, they would tell her that family was more important than fiancé, then they would talk about….

Feng Ao Si looked at his younger brother and cousin as he silently shook his head. For some reason, he felt that these two were really something. They still have the time to care for this when they were already being reprimanded heavily just now.

"Let's go back and rest for today."

They didn't have night practice because it was New Year, so the brats naturally didn't want to stay outside for any longer. It was time for them to rest and they would naturally use this chance to the fullest.

Nan Hua also used this chance to rest early.

Her mind was still thinking about what she was going to do. She stood on the back of the courtyard, looking into a distance as a bamboo strip appeared from her sleeve. As she turned around, the bamboo strip was thrown out of the residence towards the back alley.

Thunk! Swish!

Fei Mao grabbed the bamboo strip and hid before he read the content. The movement was fast without giving any chance for those who were watching any chance to even notice.

By the time they felt something was wrong, Fei Mao had long disappeared.

He looked at the bamboo strip in his hand and Fei Mao's lips pursed. That Young Miss's request was quite something.

However, Fei Mao swiftly departed.

"Miss, where did you go?" Xiao Yun asked curiously.

Nan Hua raised her head and shook her head. "I'm going to rest."

"Would you like to wash up first, Miss?"

"Mhm."

Mu Yan, who was not far from them, quickly headed to the bathroom to prepare the water. She didn't need to wait for Xiao Yun to give her order anymore.

Nan Hua didn't even look back at all. However, her jet black eyes seemed to be able to see through everything as she walked back to her room slowly but surely.

…

The days passed by quickly.

Nan Hua found out that her twin brother and cousin would often pester her during their meal to tell her that males and females shouldn't get close and that they should pay more attention to what they were doing.

Though, she reminded them that they were also males.

Thus, her twin brother and cousin ended up in an awkward situation.

It was time for the Lantern Festival and the people didn't seem to be aware that there would be another big war. However, the cautiousness they showed from time to time was the clear indication that they had long known that their situation was not completely save.

Despite that, they still lived their lives happily each day.

"Hua'er, don't stay away from your twin brother and cousin, understand?" Old Master Nan looked at his granddaughter worriedly.

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and nodded. "Yes."

"I'll be going with them, Father. You don't have to worry so much." Nan Si Qiao smiled sweetly. Her husband would be going to patrol the area, which was why he couldn't join them.

Old Master Nan looked at his daughter. For some reason, he felt like he shouldn't allow them to go out at all!
