"Gu Qian," Qiu Yan nudged Gu Qian, forcing him to lean against a large tree, and pressed down on his waist.
She wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her head against his chest, and listened to his pounding heartbeat, feeling a sense of peace within her.
"I'm here, I've always been here, don't worry, as long as you don't abandon me..."
"I will be with you through life and death!" Gu Qian was deeply moved. He wrapped his arms around Qiu Yan's body and leaned down to inhale the fragrance of her hair.
He didn't want to miss a single moment with Yan Yan.
The two embraced peacefully near the mountain, their hearts filled with each other.
"Brother Qian, are we still going to Shangjin?" Qiu Yan looked up and asked Gu Qian earnestly.
After all, Gu Qian had won the battle, and in principle he should return to report the situation to His Majesty.
However, given Gu Qian's current situation, Qiu Yan doesn't want him to go back.
"I'm not going," Gu Qian shook his head. "I have already petitioned His Majesty to retire from military service and return to my hometown."
The war is over; whether he goes or not is irrelevant. At most, he'll just get a promotion.
But now, he doesn't care about any of that.
He did want He Lin to give him some money to support Yan Yan's business.
However, he knew that after more than a year of war, their Dongjin treasury was already empty.
He even felt that His Majesty was poorer than him.
"Hmm." Qiu Yan knew that if Gu Qian didn't go to Shangjin, His Majesty would come sooner or later.
Her biggest worry right now is the Northern Desert.
I imagine that Huyan Xun must hate her to the core.
Qiu Yan shook her head, trying to clear her mind of these worries.
Qiu Yan's days that followed were very busy.
When they got engaged, Gu Qian gave her a lot of jewelry.
It can be said that there are countless examples.
She gave some to her aunt and some to her younger sister, but kept most of them at the bottom of a trunk.
She didn't intend to buy any more; she wouldn't be able to wear that many anyway.
However, Gu Qian refused.
Gu Qian didn't accompany Qiu Yan to the clothing store last time, and she felt a little disappointed.
This time, he offered to accompany Qiu Yan shopping.
Qiu Yan: "You..."
'May I'
Before the three words were even uttered, they turned into,
"good!"
Since Gu Qian is going, let's go together.
Qiu Yan stared intently into Gu Qian's eyes, trying to find a flaw.
However, Gu Qian's eyes remained unmoved, and she could only conceal her restless breathing.
Her eyes were somewhat misty.
Gu Qian nodded with a smile, then called Ling Ba to act as their coachman.
Soon, Qiu Yan and Gu Qian drove their carriage to Baiyang.
After Bai Yang and the other person got out of the car, Qiu Yan held Gu Qian's wrist tightly, afraid of getting lost.
Gu Qian, with his amazing hearing, perfectly avoided the pedestrians around him.
Qiu Yan stared into Gu Qian's eyes for a moment longer, showering him with praise.
"Brother Qian has really impressed me."
Gu Qian slightly moved his cheeks and smiled gently.
They first went to a jewelry shop.
Gu Qian waited outside the door and gave Qiu Yan a bag of silver before she went inside.
Qiu Yan naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony with Gu Qian.
She put the money in her pocket and went into the jewelry shop.
With Ling Ba out there, Qiu Yan didn't need to worry.
When she came out again, Qiu Yan had bought several sets of gold and silver hairpins.
I bought a pair of gold bracelets, and also some necklaces and other similar items.
Anyway, she bought a set of everything she could get her hands on.
Besides buying for herself, she also bought some hairbands and accessories for Gu Qian.
She didn't buy any jade because, compared to jade from the Western Regions, Baiyang's jade was not only more expensive but also inferior in color.
