Sang Luan exclaimed, "I saw him walking around, maybe he was looking for you."
Meng Youning remained silent and walked towards Qi Ran.
At the same time, when Qi Ran inadvertently turned sideways, he caught a glimpse of Meng Youning's figure.
His face suddenly lit up with joy and he hurried towards Meng Youning.
"Prince?"
A gentle yet tentative voice sounded from the right.
Qi Ran's expression was obviously stunned for a moment.
This sound...
Why does it look so familiar?
He slowly turned sideways, and when he saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted.
His hands trembled unconsciously and his feet moved towards the person who came.
The man in front of him was wearing only a white shirt of an extremely simple style.
Her long black hair was tied up with several wooden hairpins.
She has no makeup on her face, but at first glance, her face doesn't look monotonous.
Instead, the whole person gives people a feeling of extraordinary temperament.
The person in front of him and the figure in his memory gradually overlapped.
He stretched out his hand slightly, "Sister Ling, is it really you?"
Tu Ling's lips curled slightly, and her voice was gentle, "Xiao Ran'er, how come you don't recognize me after just a few years of not seeing each other?"
Her voice seemed to come from far away.
As it floated, it instantly fell into Qi Ran's ears.
Qi Ran shuddered all over and reacted quickly.
He rushed forward without hesitation and hugged Tu Ling tightly in his arms.
"Sister Ling, you are still alive!" Qi Ran was very excited. "I thought I would never see you again in this life."
Tu Ling tilted her head slightly and spoke softly, "Okay, you're already grown up, why are you still the same as before? There are so many people watching here."
Qi Ran cried out twice and quickly let go of his hand, unable to conceal the joy on his face.
"Sister Ling, when did you return to Shengjing?" Qi Ran followed Tu Ling closely with a curious look on his face, as if afraid that she would disappear again if he blinked. "Why haven't I seen you before?"
Tu Ling waved her hand casually. "It's been a long time. I just saw your figure and felt that you looked a bit similar. I called out tentatively, and I didn't expect it to be you."
Qi Ran chuckled twice, "Sister Ling, since you are okay, I must prepare a big banquet for you."
"And!" Qi Ran leaned closer to Tu Ling, "I'm already married. I'll take you to see her. She's right there..."
Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly stopped.
The familiar figure was no longer in the direction his finger was pointing.
Strange, where is Youning?
He leaned his head forward and looked. There were people coming and going in front of him, but he still didn't see the person he wanted to see.
Qi Ran looked away with some disappointment.
"Sister Ling, do you have a place to live now? If not, I will immediately find someone to arrange one for you, and I will definitely let you live in the best courtyard!" When Qi Ran's eyes fell on Tu Ling, his expression changed instantly.
Tu Ling smiled sweetly and shook her head. "Even if I don't have a place to live, I can't bother you. Besides, I see patients every day now, and the treatment at the clinic is very good. I feel quite safe living there."
Qi Ran nodded lightly, "That's very good, that's very good."
Tu Ling lowered her eyebrows, her eyes flickering slightly, "Xiao Ran'er, do you know where Hengzhi is now?"
An unnatural look crossed Qi Ran's face, and then he snorted coldly, "Him? He's the Prime Minister now, a big shot around the emperor. Sister Ling, why are you worried about him? Besides, he was also responsible for your accident!"
The more he spoke, the more excited Qi Ran became.
Tu Ling narrowed her eyes slightly.
The Prime Minister is actually Hengzhi?
She paused and spoke slowly, "Xiao Ran'er, after I left, was there any misunderstanding between you two? What happened back then has nothing to do with him or you."
She paused, raised her head and said word by word: "I have never blamed you."
Qi Ran's eyes reddened. "Sister Ling, you are still the same as I knew you before, so gentle and quiet, so tolerant and generous, always thinking of others."
Tu Ling raised her eyelids slightly, and she already had a plan in mind.
She reached out and patted Qi Ran's shoulder. "Well, I'm not as good as you say. I'm just an ordinary woman. What I want is no different from that of ordinary people."
When she said this, her eyes were full of complexity.
Qi Ran quickly shook his head, "I don't care, Sister Ling, you are the best woman in the world."
The two walked forward, talking and laughing happily.
Cang Hei had no choice but to follow Qi Ran closely.
Seeing that the two people in front of him were getting happier and happier chatting, Cang Hei had to silently retract his outstretched hand.
He did not miss the loneliness on the Crown Princess's face.
The moment the Crown Prince's wife saw the Crown Prince talking to Miss Tu Ling, the disappointment on her face was so clear.
He thought for a moment, then hurriedly whispered to Qi Ran, "Princess, didn't you come out today specifically to apologize to her?"
Qi Ran glared at him impatiently, "Can't you see I'm having a great time chatting with Sister Ling right now? Why are you bringing up other people?"
Cang Hei helplessly spread his hands and shrugged, "Okay, then you and Miss Tu Ling continue."
Tu Ling glanced at Cang Hei, "Ah, if I remember correctly, you are the little Cang Hei back then, right? It's only been three or four years since we last met, and you've already grown so tall."
Cang Hei lowered his head slightly, with a forced smile, "Miss Tu Ling, you are too kind. Miss Tu Ling looks completely different from three years ago."
Tu Ling chuckled twice, "Really?"
As she spoke, she reached out to tuck a slightly messy strand of hair behind her ear, and her sleeve inadvertently slipped down.
Qi Ran inadvertently glanced at the scar on Tu Ling's arm.
It was clearly a white, tender and delicate arm, but it was covered with several ugly and embarrassing wounds.
Qi Ran's expression changed, and he suddenly grabbed Tu Ling's hand, "Sister Ling, what happened to your injury?"
Tu Ling's eyes were a little evasive, and she silently pulled her hand back from Qi Ran's.
She covered the wound tightly with one hand, looking unwilling to talk about it.
She sighed softly, "Forget it, it's nothing more than the suffering I've endured in the past few years. Now it's all in the past. Let's not talk about the past anymore."
A trace of pity flashed across Qi Ran's face. "Sister Ling, how much have you suffered in the past few years since you left Shengjing?"
There was a hint of sob in his voice unconsciously.
"Come on, come back with me first." Qi Ran walked forward, "Let's have a good chat."
Cang Hei leaned forward slightly and whispered in Qi Ran's ear, "Prince, the Crown Princess should be at the mansion. If Miss Tu Ling were to return and bump into the Crown Princess, she might think too much."
