Chapter 172 His Old Friend



Meng Youning ate slowly and leisurely.

Although this round cake looks ugly, it actually tastes quite good.

The round cake was only half the size of a palm, and Meng Youning ate it all up quickly.

When she suddenly raised her eyes, she met Qi Ran's expectant gaze.

She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

There was a hint of resentment in Qi Ran's eyes.

After much hesitation, he finally asked the question in his mind, "Didn't you notice that they were all swapping with each other?"

Meng Youning exclaimed, then she remembered that she had indeed asked the people around her to prepare the round cakes in advance.

She gave a faint smile, and then, under Qi Ran's expectant gaze, she took out a round cake from her sleeve.

Seeing that he really had it, Qi Ran instantly stretched out his hands and looked at his palms expectantly.

The next moment, a very cute round cake suddenly appeared in front of Qi Ran.

Qi Ran suddenly looked up, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes, "Did you do this with your own hands?"

Meng Youning nodded calmly, "Yes, I made it myself."

Qi Ran chuckled, his lips slightly parted.

"Prince!"

Qi Ran paused, turned around quickly, and looked around with some confusion.

But the people around were only focused on the person in front of them, and no one looked out of place.

Strange, he clearly heard someone calling him just now?

And that voice actually sounded vaguely familiar.

Meng Youning noticed that he looked a little off, so she stepped forward and patted his arm, "Prince, what's wrong with you?"

Qi Ran shook his head, "Nothing."

Meng Youning nodded lightly, but her heart couldn't help but become lively.

She remembered Muxiang telling her about the round cake.

This round cake was clearly taken out with the intention of spending the rest of your life together.

Could it be that Qi Ran really wants to grow old with him?

The more Meng Youning thought about it, the more she felt that this was a possibility.

The other party's reaction tonight was also very strange.

Meng Youning's heart suddenly became alarmed.

No, she must find a chance to see Luan'er again as soon as possible!

She must find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise if she lets Qi Ran continue like this, it will be even more difficult to deal with Prince Yi and his wife.

Besides, if the two of them were really together, her movements would probably not be as convenient as before.

"Meng Youning."

A very firm voice sounded in Meng Youning's ears.

Without turning around, Meng Youning knew it was Qi Ran.

She calmed herself down a little, then turned around and looked at Qi Ran.

Under the moonlight, half of the face of the person in front of me was lost in the darkness.

The next moment, Qi Ran's serious voice suddenly rang out, "Sorry."

Meng Youning was stunned, and her mind was racing.

Could it be that tonight Qi Ran will...

Before Meng Youning had time to think about it, Qi Ran spoke again, "I was the one who let you down on our wedding night."

Meng Youning's eyebrows were indifferent, "Let's not talk about the past anymore."

She curled her lips inwardly, since she and Luan'er would be leaving soon anyway.

In the true sense, Qi Ran was not feeling sorry for her, but for the original owner who had died with hatred in her heart.

Now Qiu Zhuangxie’s business is getting better and better. In just two days, they won’t even need to do the work themselves. They just need to sit back and wait to collect the money.

In this way, I believe I can save enough money soon.

In the next incense stick of time, Qi Ran took Meng Youning to walk along the entire long street.

Buy everything first, whether edible or not.

He gave the edible items directly to Meng Youning.

If it was inedible, he would find ways to process it and then give it to Meng Youning to eat.

At the same time, at a corner not far away.

Several men in black were staring at the woman in front of them expressionlessly.

The woman looked very frightened and she couldn't help but take several steps back.

"You... who are you?"

The woman's hand accidentally slipped to her side.

She calmly reached her hand inside.

However, her little trick was quickly discovered by the person in front of her.

One of them stepped forward quickly, snorted coldly, and quickly drew his sword, pointing it directly at the woman in front of him, and said in a cold tone, "Tell me, what do you want to do by following the prince stealthily?"

Tu Ling's pupils shrank slightly, and she instantly understood the identities of the people in front of her.

Yes, she had forgotten that Qi Ran had always been protected by secret guards.

She was so focused on wanting to see Qi Ran as soon as possible that she ignored other factors.

Now that I think about it carefully, my actions just now were really dangerous.

Tu Ling quickly waved her hand, "Don't worry, I'm just a friend of your prince. I want to meet him."

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she took a step forward, her eyes filled with joy. "Can you take me to meet your prince? Or you can give him a message for me, saying that I am..."

“Pah.”

Before she could finish her words, she received a solid slap on the face.

Tu Ling was completely stunned. She looked at the people in front of her with some confusion.

She had always known that the secret guards around Qi Ran were more powerful than each other.

The people in front of him also matched his impression of secret guards.

He was extremely tall and exuded a murderous aura.

One look at it and one can't help but want to escape quickly.

Tu Ling felt a dull pain on her cheek, but at this moment, she was facing several well-trained secret guards.

There is obviously no chance of winning.

Tu Ling quickly suppressed the inexplicable anger in her heart.

She took a deep breath and covered the half of her face that was beaten with her hand. "Brothers, please be flexible. I am really an old friend of the prince. If you tell him, he will definitely come to see me."

As soon as Tu Ling finished speaking, several secret guards couldn't help but look at each other.

There are countless women who pretend to be familiar with the prince every day.

This woman is so stupid, she actually uses such a lame excuse?

One of the secret guards instantly raised his fist and waved it at Tu Ling, "I'm warning you one last time. This time, since you're a woman and haven't done anything to harm the prince, I'll let you off the hook."

He paused, his words full of threats, "But if you do it again, and we find out, we won't let you off so easily."

Tu Ling sighed, quickly stretched out her hand, and wanted to explain a few more words.

However, in just the blink of an eye, the people in front of him quickly disappeared in the crowd.

It was not until this moment that Tu Ling realized the terrifying nature of the secret guards.

She clearly remembered the faces of those people just now, but at this moment, she could no longer remember what they looked like.

Tu Ling slowly put her hand down.

She looked around with her eyes, and suddenly a cold look flashed in them.
