She steadied herself and put one arm around Qiu Yan's forearm.
"Xiaoyan, you're so kind."
Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquettishness.
This made Qiu Yan feel extremely uncomfortable.
She reached out and pushed Qin Susu away, her face serious.
"Young Miss, you've certainly made quite a splash today, but have you considered how you'd handle things if you were alone?"
"Well..." Qin Susu stuck out her tongue and said sweetly, "Isn't it because of you?"
Qiu Yan: "What if I hadn't shown up in time? Would you have died at Huyan Xun's hands, or been devoured by his subordinates?"
She wondered what kind of family environment could raise a girl like Qin Susu.
It seems that Qin Susu had a very happy childhood.
"I... Xiaoyan, you'll definitely help me." Qin Susu stammered, suddenly feeling a bit scared.
She didn't know how to reply, so she simply kept quiet.
Qiu Yan: "What if?" Her abilities are limited, and she doesn't always have a chance of winning.
Qin Susu shook her head, rested her head on Qiu Yan's shoulder, and squinted her eyes.
"Xiaoyan, you've grown taller again."
Qiu Yan: "Don't interrupt!"
What do you mean she's grown taller? She's only known Qin Susu for a few months.
It's as if she's their elder.
"Oh," Qin Susu said lazily, clearly not wanting to continue the topic.
"Xiaoyan, don't be so serious. I won't do it again next time."
She grabbed Qiu Yan's wrist again.
This time, Qiu Yan did not push her away.
Looking at Qin Susu's charming face, she pursed her lips.
"From now on, don't be reckless. I can't always be there to save you from trouble."
"Mmm!" Qin Susu smiled lazily.
Xiaoyan is so good, just like her mother... uh, I can't say that.
She missed her mother, and as she thought about her, her nose tingled and her eyes stung with tears.
She snuggled closer to Qiu Yan.
"Xiaoyan, can I also marry General Gu?"
Qiu Yan... This Qin Susu amused her somewhat.
She replied decisively:
"no!"
"Why not? It's normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines," Qin Susu said, nodding as she spoke.
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
"Oh, you must be so quick to refuse because I'm married."
Don't worry, Xiaoyan, the first thing I do when I get back is divorce my husband.
"Please, please plead with the general. I don't care about status; I'm willing to be his concubine."
As Qin Susu spoke, she laughed triumphantly.
Her laughter was cheerful and very pleasant to hear.
Qiu Yan shook her head and patted Qin Susu on the back of the head.
"Susu, be serious."
She never had a proper job.
Qin Susu straightened her body a little more.
Then, she looked at Qiu Yan carefully.
"Xiaoyan, I'm not joking. I really do want to marry General Gu."
He's serious now, but what about Qiu Yan...?
Has she somehow created a rival in love for herself?
Qin Susu's sudden seriousness made Qiu Yan feel a little uncomfortable.
"Don't even think about it." Qiu Yan stared blankly at Qin Susu for a moment, then rolled her eyes.
"It's getting late, the soldiers are waiting for our dinner."
She quickened her pace.
Qin Susu jogged to catch up.
"Xiaoyan, don't be so stingy, just agree, okay?"
She resumed her previous carefree and playful demeanor, and spoke in a coquettish voice.
Qiu Yan: "I disagree."
What's gotten into Qin Susu this time?
Hearing Qiu Yan's resolute statement, Qin Susu burst into laughter.
"Xiaoyan, you look so cute when you're jealous."
