Su Qian couldn’t help but chuckle and laughed out loud.
When Xiao Yan heard this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit resentful. “I helped you out of kindness, yet you still laugh at me.”
“Ninth Prince, if you’re not good at doing this kind of thing, then don’t do it. I’m already struggling for you.” Su Qian quickly took the lighter from Xiao Yan’s hand. She first lit the straw and then the charcoal. After the rising flame became a little warmer, she placed the small cup of medicine on it and slowly stewed it.
Seeing that Su Qian was busy, Xiao Yan couldn’t help much, so he could only watch from the side with his hands in his pockets.
Xiao Yan’s gaze had a deeper meaning as he kept staring at Su Qian, making Su Qian feel uncomfortable. She couldn’t help but turn to look at Xiao Yan behind her and frown as she asked, “Why are you looking at me like that, Your Highness?”
Xiao Yan looked happy. “Of course, I’m happy. Qianqian, 1 just found out today that you still have me in your heart.”
Su Qian was so shocked that she almost dropped the medicine pot in her hand. Her eyes widened in surprise as she asked, “When did I have you in my heart?”
“If you didn’t have me in your heart, you wouldn’t have protected me just now.” Xiao Yan said matter-of-factly.
Su Qian was choked by Xiao Yan’s words and quickly explained, “Your Highness, I acted just now because we were traveling together. If anyone bullies you, it’s equivalent to bullying me. Besides, I’m a member of the Nangong family and have a bad relationship with the Ximen family. 1 helped you because of that and had nothing to do with Your Highness!”
Su Qian looked nervous, Xiao Yan knew very well that Su Qian wasn’t lying. But he didn’t admit it.
However, even though he knew, he would never admit it on his face.
Looking at Su Qian affectionately, Xiao Yan’s smile became even brighter. “Qianqian, you don’t have to explain so much. 1 understand your feelings.”
Su Qian almost broke down when she heard this. She rolled her eyes in her heart and turned her back to Xiao Yan to continue with her work.
She could tell that no matter how she explained, the man in front of her would think that she was lying. It was pointless for her to explain, so she might as well shut up and let Xiao Yan stared at her. Anyway, it was just a look, and she wouldn’t lose a piece of meat.
However, under Xiao Yan’s gaze, Su Qian’s small face quickly turned an intoxicating red. However, she refused to admit it, so she pretended to be roasted by the fire and continued to brew the medicine without changing her expression.
When the gathering began, Su Qian finally finished brewing the medicine and gave it to Madam Miao. Kang Yuchen also gave her an extremely generous thank-you gift.
“Thank you for this matter, Miss Su. If there is anything we need help with in the future, 1 hope Miss Su can continue to help us.” Kang Yuchen smiled gently.
Kang Yuchen was very generous in his offer. Su Qian had always liked to work with such people, so she politely accepted the reward. “Of course, if the Deputy City Master needs me in the future, you can come to the Su family and find me at any time.”
“It’s not convenient for me to participate in the matter of Miss Su’s Dragon-repelling Fruit, but I’ll get Steward Zhou to bring you there.” Kang Yuchen quickly said.
Thinking that she would soon be able to obtain the Dragon-repelling Fruit that she had been longing for, Su Qian hurriedly nodded in agreement and pushed Xiao Yan and Steward Zhou out of the residence.
“Because the journey is a little far, our residence has specially prepared a carriage. Please get on, Your Highness and Miss Su.” Steward Zhou gestured to the low-key black carriage that was parked at the entrance and said.
Su Qian nodded. After getting into the car, she sensed that something was wrong.. “Your Highness, where is Dong Yan who was with you?”
