Chapter 1576 Victory Banquet (7)

Feng Ao Kuai narrowed his eyes at Prime Minister Lan's words.

He didn't need to guess where Prime Minister Lan heard of his plan because he didn't plan to hide it. There was no way he could hide it when he came back to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City either way.

But he was unwilling to be a pawn used by others.

If he agreed with Prime Minister Lan's help, he would be put into Prime Minister Lan's camp. It would be troublesome for him, who hadn't built his power to be put into a camp right away.

He wouldn't be able to shake them off in the future.

"Prime Minister Lan is really kind." Feng Ao Kuai put on a polite smile. "However, this one is only trying to broaden my horizon. There's no need for special attention from a person of high stature like Prime Minister Lan."

Prime Minister Lan heard Feng Ao Kuai's words and narrowed his eyes but didn't pester Feng Ao Kuai. "I see, that's too bad but I wish you a successful path."

Feng Ao Kuai smiled back politely and watched as Prime Minister Lan walked away. He lowered his head, his eyes were brewing with several matters. There were many things he had to do and his every word and action had to be considered very carefully. 

…

<Long Qian Xing's side>

Long Qian Xing is a general and had already achieved quite a lot of fame for the past two years. With his remarkable achievement on the battlefield, many people were eyeing him. It was even more so because he was currently single and there was no rumor about his partner and everything else.

Some officials even wanted to introduce their daughter to him. 

After all, having a connection with a powerful general like Long Qian Xing would also bring them prosperous future in front of them.

However, Long Qian Xing rejected them all and said that he had a fiancée. Even if his fiancée was apparently dead, he would not get close to other women for her sake.

"So tiring."

After getting away from those officials, Long Qian Xing walked to a secluded corner in the garden and sighed deeply. He looked at the figure who was also hiding and laughed lightly. "Hua'er."

Nan Hua was also resting. She had no hobby to interact with these people, but she still remembered them well thanks to the teaching and training she received ever since she was young. 

She raised her head and looked at Long Qian Xing. "Brother Long."

"Do you want to head over there? It's more secluded." Long Qian Xing pointed to an area that was more secluded than here. It was a pavilion in the palace that seemed to be used by the Imperial Family here for some meeting. Of course, it was now empty as the others were busy in the garden and hall. 

"Two generals are meeting secretly in the pavilion." Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "If people were to see it, they will be surprised."

"I'm not worried about it." Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua deeply. "I'm only spending my time with my fiancée, why should I be ashamed if people were to look at it?"

In his original word, having date was extremely common. If not because of the strict rules in this world, he would have long wanted to drag Nan Hua away and have a real date for the two of them.

But because the rules didn't allow it, he could only hold himself back and sighed deeply. 

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and smiled faintly.

Seeing Nan Hua's smile, Long Qian Xing felt his heart thumped. Nan Hua's face was extremely beautiful and when she smile, he could feel as if his heart was being taken away. It was no wonder that Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai warned for her not to smile in front of other people.

Just her face alone was already more than enough to cause a lot of people to lose their minds.

If she smiled at them, it was estimated that a lot of people would be willing to sacrifice their lives just for her to smile at them.

It was outrageous.

This was the first time that Long Qian Xing felt that a woman was actually really dangerous. Just like a beautiful flower that has thorns and couldn't be touched by ordinary people. 

"Hua'er," Long Qian Xing called, his voice was hoarse.

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and silently took a step back. Just now, she felt that Long Qian Xing was inexplicably more dangerous than he usually was. Just like a beast that was looking at his prey. 

Feeling that his emotion would go out of control, Long Qian Xing turned around and walked into the main hall again. He felt that in front of Nan Hua, his proud self control was nothing more than rubbish. For her smile, he felt that he was even willing to do many things.

It was quite outrageous.

After several times of berating himself inside his mind, Long Qian Xing finally took some cakes and walked towards that secluded corner again. This time, he had calmed down considerably and looked at Nan Hua with a smile.

"I brought you cakes."

"Thank you, Brother Long," Nan Hua replied and took the cake that Long Qian Xing brought. The chefs specially hired by the Imperial Family were all very skilled, so the cake tastes really sweet.

Nan Hua's eyes brightened slightly with light when she tasted the sweetness.

Long Qian Xing watched Nan Hua's reaction and silently remembered in his heart that she loved sweet cake. When he brought snacks for her in the future, he had to remember this point.

"Hua'er, what's your plan?" Long Qian Xing didn't dare to tease Nan Hua again. If he were to be tempted again but couldn't do anything in this place… isn't that the same as sweet torture?
