I have no right to decide who she could meet.
That was what Feng Ao Kuai said inside his mind. Thankfully, Long Qian Xing didn't have any ability to read what other people had inside his mind or he would have realized Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Hua's real relationship with each other.
They were not mere cousins.
They were also master and subordinate.
From the very moment Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Hua made the promise with each other when they were young, this relationship had been established. And Feng Ao Kuai was also willing to put himself lower than Nan Hua because he knew how capable his younger cousin was.
This plan was not perfect, but Feng Ao Kuai could guess what Nan Hua wanted from her 'fake' death. The fewer people who knew that Nan Hua is still alive the better it would be. At the very least, this would give her enough freedom to do what she wanted to do for the next few years.
As for her plan afterwards…
That was not something that Feng Ao Kuai need to worry about. He was sure that Nan Hua would surely prepare something for herself.
Long Qian Xing sighed and it was then he finally realized why she asked to him whether he would wait for her or not. At that time, he felt that her question was strange, but it seemed that Nan Hua had already known that this would happen.
To the outside world, Nan Hua is dead.
But in truth, she's still alive.
Sighing deeply, Long Qian Xing really wanted to be able to meet with Nan Hua and asked her what she had in her mind. For who know how many years in the future… he wouldn't be able to see her anymore.
'Can I meet with her again?'
Long Qian Xing turned around so that his back was facing Feng Ao Kuai. "When you see her again, tell her: I'll always be here."
Feng Ao Kuai didn't answer and watched as Long Qian Xing walked away. He had seen the young man's ruthlessness, but right now, Long Qian Xing's back looked so desolate as if he had lost the entire world.
He pursed his lips and shook his head internally.
It was time to return.
They had settled the most troublesome Tu Family and avenged Nan Hua's mother. With this, it should have settled somehow.
"Let's go back," Long Qian Xing said to his soldiers as he walked out.
…
Even after Long Qian Xing reached his own residence again, he still felt that everything was surreal. At the same time, he felt a great sense of loss.
In that burning carriage… who knew how many stabs he felt inside his heart and how much pain it actually felt.
"Not a single one of you is to say a word to Grandmother."
"Yes, Young Master."
Long Qian Xing knew how much Nan Hua meant for Old Madam Long. His grandmother was already old, so hearing this kind of news would only hurt her even more. He didn't want anything to happen to her. freēwebnovel.com
The servants all bowed down and didn't dare to do anything as they watched Long Qian Xing walked back to his quarter.
They all had seen the mess today and knew the commotion would have alarmed many people.
However, Old Madam Long was resting because of the medicine and didn't really like to pay attention to the outside world. She wouldn't know what had happened outside if no one told her.
And Long Qian Xing didn't want his grandmother to be sad and worried.
Thus, he issued the gag order.
The servants didn't dare to say anything and decided to follow what Long Qian Xing said. They all moved quietly so as not to disturb the young master.
Even though Long Qian Xing looked calm…
They all knew that it was just the surface appearance.
No one would dare to provoke him in this juncture.
Thus, Long Qian Xing's quarter became a red zone where the servants were walking very carefully to avoid alarming the young master.
'You're so ruthless, Little Lass.'
Entering his room, Long Qian Xing sat on his bed and covered his face with his hand. He really felt it back then that if he truly loses her, he wouldn't be able to accept it. If he were to lose her, how would he live the rest of his life?
And even now, he wouldn't be able to hear anything about her.
Whether she was fine.
Whether she was hurt or sick.
Whether something happened to her or was there anyone who dared to bother her.
There wouldn't be any Nan Hua again among the pieces of news that his subordinates sent to him from time to time.
