My Little Girl (69)
Shu Nuan sniffed . “I didn’t cry . ”
Maybe Shu Nuan hadn’t cried, but her eyelids were reddish . Looking at her appearance, she was aggrieved .
Sheng Qianmo touched her wet eyes . “This Prince is not bullying you . ”
Shu Nuan hugged him around the neck . Her soft lips against his neck; she was restless . “There is one thing your slave was afraid to say . I’m afraid His Highness will be angry if he knows . ”
Sheng Qianmo looked to his side where he could only see her hair . He held out his hand and gently rubbed it . “What is it?”
AdvertisementShu Nuan told Sheng Qianmo everything that happened in the academy during the day . Near the end, her little hand slipped down from his neck and she looked up at him . “I was angry and held the princess by her neck…”
Sheng Qianmo embraced her slender waist and listened to her words . Then he understood why Shu Nuan had been so depressed that she hadn’t returned to the manor . She had run to the river alone and had just sit there, reading a book…
Whenever he would scold her, just a few words would be enough to turn her eyes red . If his tone was heavy, tears would fall down her face . She had a delicate appearance, and even he hadn’t expected her to lash out like this . But Sheng Gu had humiliated her in front of so many people in the academy . Therefore, it wasn’t strange that the little girl had been fuming with anger .
However, what Sheng Qianmo didn’t expect was that his soft kitten could stretch out its paws .
Maybe she’d been bullied too much .
Only then had she brought out her claws to scratch the princess .
Sheng Qianmo was silent for a while . He said, “This Prince will give you my judgement tomorrow . ”
It was unexpected that the prince wasn’t mad and would give her justice for the matter instead . She lowered her head and bit her lip . She didn’t say anything at all, let alone for Sheng Gu, whose bullying she was really angry about .
But when she thought of mentioning Jing Fei’s matter, she had mixed feelings .
Sheng Qianmo’s favor was too uncertain . She couldn’t tell when it’d rain and when it’d shine . She was worried that, upon making a mistake, she would be pushed down into the abyss by the prince .
Sheng Qianmo, however, had no idea about Shu Nuan’s lack of sense of security around him .
Sheng Qianmo took her to his bed to rest . When he laid her down, he touched her head, and said, “If you do well in the exam, This Prince will reward you . ”
Shu Nuan held his arm, a little overwhelmed . “What… Reward…”
“Anything you want,” Sheng Qianmo said .
Shu Nuan’s eyes lit up . Her beautiful eyes were like a bough of peach blossoms, clear, yet hard to make out each flower separately .
“Thank you, Your Highness,” she said . Her voice was low but filled with spirit .
Sheng Qianmo looked down at her eyes for a long time before he mumbled, “You truly are good-looking . ”
The little girl’s eyes were confused by what she heard . She lowered her head and bit her red lip . She thought about how this man was looking at her . Sheng Qianmo’s eyes were moreover bright and had a charm to them . She felt weak .
But then Sheng Qianmo asked her a question that left her bewildered . “The Emperor of Qing, why did he leave you out?”
In Sheng Qianmo’s opinion, Shu Nuan was impeccable . She was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting: the four arts . There were few Beiguo women with such exquisite and precious talents .
But Shu Nuan’s eyelashes trembled . Subconsciously, she stretched out her finger to touch the tear mole at the corner of her eye . Opening her mouth a little, she said, “Father didn’t disclose the reason . ”
