Upon hearing this, Qin Kou'er raised her head and glanced at Lan Xiuyuan indifferently.
fart!
Putting everything else aside, just look at those people who saw Lan Linxue planting explosives. If they weren't arranged by Lan Xiuyuan, Qin Kou'er would have twisted their heads off and used them as a football.
Lan Linxue may not be good at other things, but when it comes to these kinds of things, she's practically an expert! How could she let someone see her so openly? Is she doing some kind of charity work?
Seeing Qin Kou'er's disbelieving look, Lan Xiuyuan immediately raised his hand and swore, "I'm telling the truth! Kou'er, you have to believe me! Besides, if I don't do this, Lan Linxue will take my life! Do you really want to see me die a violent death in the street?"
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Xiuyuan. To be honest, all she had seen in all this time was Lan Xiuyuan constantly framing Lan Linxue. She really hadn't seen how Lan Linxue would try to kill him.
But this was only what Qin Kou'er thought in her heart. On the surface, she still smiled gently and reached out to hold Lan Xiuyuan's hand lightly: "What are you doing! When did I say I didn't trust Fifth Master!"
Lan Xiuyuan felt a gentle tremor as Qin Kou'er held his hand.
He took Qin Kou'er's hand in his own and said with deep affection in his eyes, "Kou'er, it doesn't matter if the whole world doesn't believe me, but you must believe me! Because your trust is more important to me than anything else, you know that?"
Qin Kou'er smiled and looked at Lan Xiuyuan, nodding gently. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed someone sneaking around the corner looking this way.
With just one glance, Qin Kou'er knew that it was that devilish Seventh Brother.
Qin Kou'er showed no sign of it, maintaining her gentle smile. She didn't rush to pull her hand away from Lan Xiuyuan's grasp.
Lan Xiuyuan had never been so close to Qin Kou'er before. Holding Qin Kou'er's hand tightly, he felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Staring into Kou'er's eyes, Lan Xiuyuan said softly, as if making a vow, "Don't worry, Kou'er, no matter what, I will protect you! I will never let anyone bully you, and I will never let you suffer any injustice! Rest assured, as long as I'm here, no one in this capital city will dare to make things difficult for you!"
Upon hearing Lan Xiuyuan's words, Qin Kou'er nodded gently and then told him about opening a branch in the capital.
Lan Xiuyuan listened and nodded.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Kou'er pulled her hand back and slowly walked forward.
Lan Xiuyuan didn't think Qin Kou'er's actions were wrong at all. On the contrary, he felt that Qin Kou'er was very sensible and knew her place, and he respected her even more. After all, what kind of behavior is it to hold hands with a man in the street!
Qin Kou'er subtly steered the conversation to another topic, and because Lan Xiuyuan had shaken her hand, even he probably felt their relationship had progressed. This would make her activities in the capital much easier!
After the two finished discussing Qin Kou'er's shop in the capital, Lan Xiuyuan smiled and looked at Qin Kou'er gently, saying, "Kou'er, the Prime Minister's birthday is coming up soon, oh, which is also my maternal grandfather's birthday. I'd like you to come with me then! What do you think?"
Qin Kou'er smiled slightly, nodded, and said with bright eyes, "Of course that's good! I'm just afraid that because of my low status, I'll be looked down upon by others!"
"Who would dare to look down on Kou'er?" Lan Xiuyuan said coldly, "Kou'er is my honored guest. If I neglect you, wouldn't that be going against me? I'll be angry then!"
Qin Kou'er immediately smiled and teased Lan Xiuyuan, "No! Our Fifth Master can't get angry, or the world will be in chaos!"
Looking at Qin Kou'er's unparalleled beauty, Lan Xiuyuan felt an irresistible urge to marry her, vowing to keep her by his side during the upcoming concubine selection. He was determined to use every means at his disposal to make her his principal wife.
"Kou'er, you, you look so beautiful when you smile!"
As soon as Lan Xiuyuan finished speaking, he blushed.
Qin Kou'er was taken aback by what she was said, and then her face flushed slightly without her noticing. Her shy demeanor was truly captivating.
Lan Xiuyuan felt like he should do something at this moment, but being the first person to fall in love, he had no idea what to do.
Qin Kou'er and Lan Xiuyuan walked forward awkwardly for a while, and then, as if to break the shyness in the air, she said softly, "Fifth Master has been granted the title of Prince this time, and Kou'er hasn't congratulated the Prince yet! I wonder what the Prince likes? I'll send it to the Prince later!"
Lan Xiuyuan smiled warmly and said softly, "With Kou'er by my side, what more could I ask for!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Kou'er immediately glared at Lan Xiuyuan with a coquettish expression, "Your Highness, really! How can you speak so rudely! If you continue to talk like that, I'm leaving!"
Lan Xiuyuan hurriedly looked at Qin Kou'er anxiously: "Did I offend Kou'er? I'm sorry, I just... I just couldn't help myself!"
Qin Kou'er nodded and said softly, "I know! But Your Highness, please don't say things like that in the future. If others see it, they'll think Kou'er is indecent! There's always another time!"
After speaking, Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Xiuyuan with gentle eyes.
Lan Xiuyuan's heart fluttered with joy at Qin Kou'er's words, "There's plenty of time in the future!"
He nodded repeatedly, grinning foolishly, and said, "Yes, there's plenty of time!"
Thinking about the days when Qin Kou'er and Lan Xiuyuan would live in perfect harmony, Lan Xiuyuan felt as light as a feather.
