Xiao Xuan lowered his gaze, only then realizing that the boy hadn't returned since he went out today.
I don't know if my elder sister is willing to come out of retirement and take command of the army again.
Xiao Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and took Ning Yin's hand when she wasn't paying attention.
"Let's eat first, without waiting for him."
Ning Yin was caught off guard as her slender fingertips were enveloped in the man's warm palm. Before she could react, Xiao Xuan had already led her toward the dining room.
Led by the man, Xiao Xuan led him to the dining room, where he quickly pulled out chairs for the man.
Ning Yin's cheeks, which had just been slightly flushed, now burned even hotter.
She was almost afraid to look Xiao Xuan in the eye. Xiao Xuan ladled out a bowl of soup for her and handed it to her.
Ningyin took the bowl, lowered her head, and sipped the soup inside. It tasted excellent.
But she was in a bit of a daze and didn't really savor it before quickly finishing it.
Xiao Xuan sensed that Ning Yin must be starving, and he couldn't help but feel touched that she had waited for him for so long.
Immediately, he added some more to the person's bowl.
Ning Yin suddenly came to her senses and realized that the man opposite her was smiling warmly, his deep eyes seeming to hold profound meaning.
That kind of look, just one glance from her, would send her into a state of utter turmoil.
"You must be starving. Don't wait for me from now on. I might come back very late sometimes."
Ning Yin was still feeling uneasy when Xiao Xuan's gentle and delicate voice rang in her ears.
"Hmm, I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, you should eat too..."
Ning Yin served Xiao Xuan a bowl of soup as she spoke. Xiao Xuan's lips curled up, and his face was almost overflowing with smiles.
"I heard you intend to leave the manor today?"
As soon as he returned to the manor today, the guards reported to him that Miss Ning wanted to go out for a while.
Xiao Xuan didn't want to restrict her freedom, but Xiao Ling was now making trouble, and Shen Yun also harbored resentment towards Ning Yin.
He was really worried about leaving her alone out of the manor.
He was afraid Ning Yin would blame him for restricting her freedom, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, but I know you're doing it for my safety."
"Yes, I'm glad you understand."
Hearing Ning Yin say this, Xiao Xuan felt a little relieved.
He had just taken a sip of soup when he heard Ning Yin say, "However, I still don't want to stay here with you forever. Didn't you say you knew someone in the palace? I wanted to ask you if you could ask him if the Imperial Hospital still needs doctors. I'm thinking of... giving it a try."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan's expression changed; he had been troubled by this matter.
He wanted to see Ning Yin every day, but he also didn't want Ning Yin's identity to be exposed.
After Ning Yin said that, he did think that arranging for someone to work in the Imperial Hospital was indeed a good choice.
Xiao Xuan coughed lightly twice, then picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth, and asked in feigned surprise.
"You mean you want to join the Imperial Hospital and become a royal physician?"
