My Little Girl (38)
“Do you dare to know for sure?” Sheng Qianmo’s gaze was cold, and his voice indifferent . “You have no right to question This Prince . However, if you truly dare to take liberties with me… The fighting in Northern Xinjiang is not yet over, and I can take you there to have some fun . ”
On hearing that Sheng Qianmo was going to send him to the battlefield to fight, Sheng Lingyun was so scared that he couldn’t even hold the cup . He clarified without pause, “Fourth Brother, stop joking . You can rest assured that I will not put my mind to what you just said . ”
Sheng Qianmo face remained expressionless as he looked on . How could Sheng Lingyun dare to stay after this exchange? He said some words about his innocence, and then quickly took his leave .
After Sheng Lingyun left, Sheng Qianmo twisted his brows and asked the Imperial Physician to go to the Qin Hall . [1] As for himself, Sheng Qianmo stayed all night at the Shu Pavilion to study some documents . During this period, the physician went to treat Shu Nuan’s injury . After reporting his diagnosis, he then left a bottle of ointment with the prince .
“On some parts, it is inconvenient for me to treat her . Please find a maid to apply the medicine to the girl . ”
Sheng Qianmo agreed but didn’t say much else . After the physician left, he stared at the bottle of ointment in his hand, before getting up and leaving the library .
Sheng Qianmo pushed open the door to the bedroom . The lamp was still on but, as it was quiet, it didn’t seem like anyone was inside .
Shen Qianmo closed the door and went in . Behind the screen, Shu Nuan was seated on a bed, with her arms hugging her legs, and her white toes curled on the soft bedding .
She had been changed into a clean set of night clothes . But he could see that in just a few days, the little girl had lost weight . At this moment, she lowered her head, and was about to bury her face between her knees .
Hearing the deep and familiar footsteps coming into the screen[2], Shu Nuan raised her head with slow deliberation . As her gaze fell upon Sheng Qianmo, her eyes quickly filled with tears . Short of breath, she stared at him as her eyes turned redder within a few moments . Dew fell from the peach blossom eyes . In her vision the prince’s figure turned hazy, and as he came closer big tears fell more .
They wet the tear mole, and they wet her whole face .
Her small mouth trembled a little, but she clenched her lips tightly and managed not to cry out .
Sheng Qianmo frowned and strode over . “What’s the matter?”
He thought there was something wrong with her, that she was crying in pain .
But Shu Nuan didn’t speak . Still holding her legs, she looked up at the man who had walked over . The trails of tears were all over her face and the ones in her eyes wouldn’t stop falling off .
Silent grievance and uneasiness were evident in her every action .
She didn’t speak, but Sheng Qianmo felt it clearly .
“Don’t cry . Does it hurt a lot?” Sheng Qianmo had never seen Shu Nuan so sad, sobbing with such quiet, before . He did not know how much she had suffered .
He came closer to the bed and raised her little face to wipe her tears . But after a while, her tears fell even more numerous . The next moment, she finally could not help rushing into his arms . Her small trembling hands grabbed his waist, and her big tears soon wet his clothes .
The pain she felt with each movement was still severe . But the fear of losing him hurt more .
Sheng Qianmo finally seemed to understand why she was crying .
He bowed his head and rubbed the little girl’s hair . Finally, his voice became softer . “Come now, don’t cry . I didn’t intend to send you away . ”
[1] – Remember, Qin Hall is where Shu Nuan usually stays . And Imperial Physician will be shortened to ‘the physician’ after its first occurence in a chapter .
