Lu Qingyan wailed inwardly, "It's over, it's over! I'm definitely going to be disfigured." While her face might not be considered stunningly beautiful, she'd seen it for so many years, and if a flaw suddenly appeared, she wouldn't be able to stand it. She wasn't pretty to begin with, and now she'd be even uglier; she'd probably scare people to death on the street.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qingyan was pulled into someone's arms. With her eyes closed, Lu Qingyan only felt the fragrance of cold plum blossoms at the tip of her nose, and then she was held by a pair of warm and strong arms.
At this moment, a sweet and bittersweet feeling welled up in Lu Qingyan's heart. It was as if a treasure she had lost for many years had returned to her side, yet had completely forgotten her. This feeling was too unfamiliar and too intense for Lu Qingyan; she had never encountered such deep affection even with Shen Jiyan.
"Get up!" Lu Qingyan heard an extremely cold voice, and felt annoyed and frustrated as if she had been touched by something dirty.
Reflexively, Lu Qingyan immediately hugged that hard and warm body.
Lu Qingyan: "..."
I really like this person so much that I want to be with him forever. Even Shen Jiyan doesn't seem so important anymore.
But now was not the time for her to be complacent. Lu Qingyan opened her eyes and froze on the spot. She never dreamed that the person in front of her would be Su Mo, the city lord of Pingcheng.
His eyes were so cold and unfamiliar, almost devoid of emotion, yet there was a subtle, barely perceptible hint of disgust in them.
Lu Qingyan felt a pang in her heart. Did this person really hate her existence that much, or was it that he just hated the fact that she had met him?
Lu Qingyan put aside all her thoughts and gave him a half-bow: "Lord Su."
Su Mo gave a light reply, then looked at Lu Qingyan: "I really didn't expect to run into the Third Princess here. Shouldn't you be in the palace at this time? Why are you out here?"
Lu Qingyan blushed and explained, "There was no one I knew in the palace to chat with and pass the time, so I came out for a stroll. I didn't expect to run into Lord Su here."
"Where is Lord Su...?" Lu Qingyan cautiously inquired. Wasn't he the Lord of Pingcheng? Why hadn't he left yet?
Su Mo merely raised his eyelids: "I was just bored and wanted to see the flower festival in Jin. But now that I look around, there's really nothing to see."
Su Mo's tone was very casual, which calmed Lu Qingyan's initially nervous heart.
"Where does Lord Su intend to go next? May I follow?" Lu Qingyan blurted out the question involuntarily.
Lu Qingyan was a little annoyed. Why had she become so unreserved after meeting this person?
Lu Qingyan thought that she didn't know this person at all, so he would probably reject her!
However, Lu Qingyan felt his slightly cool fingers touch her face.
"Lord Su...Lord Su..." Lu Qingyan stammered, her tongue seemingly tied in knots, unsure of what to say. Her face flushed crimson, like a ripe crab.
Lu Qingyan felt as if this person carried a ball of fire in his hand, and wherever he went, sparks would ignite a prairie fire.
However, when Lu Qingyan noticed Su Mo's eyes, all her restless senses calmed down.
