Chen Lianhe looked at Xun Niannian with a deep gaze, but did not answer her.

Didn’t sleep well? More than just didn’t sleep well?

He didn't sleep all night last night.

"Well, the food is ready. Do you want to eat now?" Xun Niannian couldn't stand his gaze and took the initiative to change the subject.

Chen Lianhe finally looked away and walked towards the table.

It can be seen that Chen Lianhe is very hungry and eats much faster than usual.

However, there was no sign of rudeness in the movements. It was still so elegant.

Xun Niannian sat on an embroidered chair not far away, supporting her chin and looking at him.

[This guy usually seems to like wearing purple clothes, but today he changed into a plain white long gown, which makes him look even more handsome and elegant. This appearance is really amazing.]

[Should I tell him directly that there is a problem with the Lingcheng Reservoir and ask him to send someone to check it out? ]

[Forget it, let's not talk about it. If I tell him how I knew there was something wrong with the Lingcheng Reservoir, how can I explain it to him? I can't explain it at all!]

[After all, I can't tell him that I learned this from a book, and that you are all characters in a book...]

After finishing the meal, Chen Lianhe suddenly raised his eyes and said to Xun Nian Nian: "The rain outside has eased a little. I have arranged a carriage to take you back to the capital. Go pack up now and leave later!"

"Ah, now, going back to Beijing?" Xun Niannian was so shocked that she jumped up from her chair.

What is going on?

Everything was fine just now, why did he suddenly ask her to return to Beijing?

Ah, no, it doesn’t seem like suddenly, he said “already”.

He had just been in the room the whole time and hadn't gone out, which meant that he had already made up his mind to let her leave Lingjun.

But why so sudden?

"What about you? Are you coming back?"

Chen Lianhe shook his head, "There are still many things to deal with here. I need to stay here. You go back first."

"Go pack up, don't delay. If we set off now, we should be able to pass Lingjun Pass and reach the nearest posthouse before it gets completely dark."

Xun Niannian frowned, and did not immediately go back to her room to pack her things as she was told.

She stood there motionless.

Seeing that she hadn't taken any action for a long time, Chen Lianhe raised his eyes and asked, "Why aren't you going yet?"

Xun Niannian: "Why? Why do you suddenly want to send me back? Is it because I did something wrong? Did I just say something wrong? Or is it because the food I cooked is not to your liking?"

Chen Lianhe rubbed his brows and said, "It's not your problem.

You are right. Ling County is in a very dangerous situation now and may be flooded at any time. I am sending you back for your own good."

"Oh, I see." Xun Niannian breathed a sigh of relief.

She said in her heart: "Although I really want to leave, I can't leave! I still have a mission to complete. If I leave like this, won't I have to suffer inhuman torture in the next few days? I won't be able to bear it!"

[The book says that Lingjun will be in trouble two months later. I bet it will be fine now!]

She rolled her eyes and looked at Chen Lianhe with affection, "Then, my lord, I will not leave. I will stay and face it together with you."

Xun Niannian's tone was particularly serious and sincere when she said this.

Coupled with those affectionate eyes, if Chen Lianhe hadn't just heard what she said in her heart, he might have really been moved by her!

"Are you sure you're not leaving?"
