Jialan looked at Jiaqian, whose face was full of excitement.
"Please sit down first, don't rush."
Jiaqian saw that despite all she had said, he remained unmoved.
He was furious, his face full of disappointment and frustration.
Garan spoke with a light laugh.
"Alright, alright, don't rush me, sit down and listen to me."
As she spoke, she reached out and pulled him to sit down in the chair.
"I know you're worried about me, but..."
As he said this, a determined look appeared in his eyes.
"I truly love him. As long as he treats me sincerely in return, I will be with him. What does it matter what others say or think?"
Jiaqian said urgently.
"It doesn't matter? Do you know that someone's spittle could kill you?"
Garan spoke in a calm tone, yet with a hint of determination.
"As long as two people are in love and steadfast in their feelings, what is there to fear about what others say behind their backs?"
Jiaqian's eyes were full of helplessness.
All that I said was a complete waste of breath.
Upon seeing this, Garan chuckled softly.
She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder, patting him gently.
"Don't worry! I know what I'm doing."
Jiaqian thought to herself: No, I'm not at all at ease.
Garan looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting late.
He stood up.
"It's getting late, I'll go to the small kitchen to prepare some food and take it to the adults."
He took two steps and turned to look at Jiaqian sitting in the chair.
"By the way, are you eating?"
Jiaqian was utterly speechless.
I thought to myself: I'm so angry I'm full.
"I won't eat."
Jialan nodded.
"Okay, then I'll only make the adults' portion."
With that, he strode toward the small kitchen.
Jiaqian...
Right now, all you care about is your adult!
This kind of older brother is really worrying!
Hopefully, that Grand Preceptor is sincere and not just playing around, otherwise...
His gaze turned cold, his fingers tightened, and the cup in his palm shattered.

As evening fell, Ning Qing, who was lying on her bed drinking a little wine, suddenly heard familiar footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.
His hand holding the wine jug paused, and his eyes shifted.
My wife is here!
Looking towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Garan approached gracefully, carrying an exquisitely carved food box in his hand, a smile on his face.
When she reached Ning Qing, she called out softly.
"grown ups".
Ning Qing smiled, sat up, and patted the spot next to her.
"My wife, come sit here."
Jialan placed the food box on the table.
Only then did he walk to Ning Qing's side.
Ning Qing reached out and pulled him into her arms.
Jialan nestled into Ning Qing's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist.
Ning Qing was surprised to see him so obedient and docile.
He looked down at the person in his arms.
"My wife, have you missed me?"
Jialan's eyes flashed.
"No".
Ning Qing pinched his chin and lifted it slightly.
"Oh, no? But I miss you, what should I do? Hmm..."
Jialan's eyes flickered, and she slightly curved her lips into a faint yet incredibly alluring smile.
His fingers slowly climbed up Ning Qing's front, making subtle circles.
"Oh, does my lord really miss me? How come I didn't know?"
Ning Qing's Adam's apple bobbed as she swallowed.
She's such a little devil! She exudes charm all the time!
Ning Qing curled her lips into a smile.
The hand gripping his chin tightened even more.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered.
"Then I will show it with my actions."
