Chapter 160 Don’t Call Me Prince
"Yes, what else?" Shi Qiuwu asked back.
"Oh, oh." An Qingqian stretched out her wrist and placed it on the table.
Seeing that An Qingqian seemed a little shy, Shi Qiuwu thought about what he had just said and suddenly realized that An Qingqian had misunderstood something.
He couldn't help but chuckle, but didn't say anything.
"Yeah, I'm in good health, nothing wrong."
Looking at the snow-white wrist and the slender fingers like peeled onions in front of him, Shi Qiuwu couldn't help but be distracted.
Last night, these hands kept messing around on his body, making it impossible for him to control himself.
"Oh." An Qingqian nodded.
The room fell silent, and the two were silent for a while.
An Qingqian lowered her hands and looked at the teapot on the table, while Shi Qiuwu's eyes fell on An Qingqian's face.
Under the candlelight, her face was still fair and delicate, with outstanding features, like a fairy walking out of an ancient painting.
"Qianqian, what do you think about what I said this morning?"
Shi Qiuwu had no idea what An Qingqian was thinking, and when he saw her refuse in the morning, he felt a little uneasy.
He did not return to Fuguang Temple today, but stayed in Prince Xian's Mansion all day. He was thinking, why would An Qingqian not agree to this matter? What were her concerns?
Therefore, at night, he couldn't help but come to the general's mansion to find An Qingqian.
"Things happened a little suddenly. I, I haven't thought about this matter carefully yet." An Qingqian looked up at Shi Qiuwu, then looked away.
"Qianqian, can you tell me what you are worried about?" Shi Qiuwu reached out and grabbed An Qingqian's hand which was placed on the table without taking it back.
Feeling the dryness and heat on his hands, An Qingqian's heart skipped a beat.
"I'm not worried about anything, I just haven't thought it through."
Seeing that An Qingqian looked somewhat embarrassed, Shi Qiuwu felt a little anxious, but he had to force himself to hold it back.
"Well, Qianqian, if you have any concerns, just tell me and I will definitely resolve them all."
Shi Qiuwu stared at An Qingqian and made a serious promise.
"I understand. By the way, you can take this jade pendant back. I have someone on my side, so there's no need to bother the person who came from heaven." An Qingqian stood up and took out the jade pendant from the dressing table.
"Since I've given it to you, how can I take it back? Just treat this as a token of our love, okay?"
Shi Qiuwu didn't even look at the priceless jade pendant, but stared straight at the person in front of him.
"But..." An Qingqian was about to speak, she hadn't thought about this matter yet.
Moreover, he was the one who made the mistake yesterday, and Shi Qiuwu didn't need to do this at all.
"There's nothing to worry about. From the moment it reaches your hands in the morning, it's yours. If you don't like it, just throw it away."
Shi Qiuwu took An Qingqian's hand and sat down, holding her hand in his palm and stroking it gently.
"If you have concerns and don't want to speak, I won't force you. But if you figure it out, tell me."
Seeing that An Qingqian's expression had relaxed a little, Shi Qiuwu paused and continued speaking.
"Qianqian, I can swear that if you marry me, I, Shi Qiuwu, will only have you as my wife in this life. I will not take concubines or wives. I will only be loyal to our marriage. If you break this oath, you will be struck by lightning and you will never be able to turn over."
"Oh..." An Qingqian had never expected that Shi Qiuwu would say this in front of her and swear such a poisonous oath. She didn't even have time to stop him.
"I'm not forcing you to give an answer by saying this. This is just my intention and attitude. As long as you are willing, I will immediately ask my father and mother to come to the general's mansion to propose marriage."
"Prince, let me think about it again, let me think about it again."
The more Shi Qiuwu said this, the more uncomfortable An Qingqian felt.
"Don't call me Prince. From now on, just call me by my name." Shi Qiuwu felt that this title was a bit awkward and foreign.
An Qingqian didn't say anything, just glanced at Shi Qiuwu.
"Okay, take your time to think about it. Don't be anxious. You can figure it out anytime."
As Shi Qiuwu spoke, he stretched out his right foot, hooked the stool An Qingqian was sitting on to his side, and then took An Qingqian into his arms.
It was not until he truly hugged An Qingqian again that Shi Qiuwu felt more at ease. He also felt that everything was not a dream, not his illusion, and that everything that happened yesterday was real.
Leaning in Shi Qiuwu's arms, An Qingqian's body subconsciously stiffened.
However, smelling the reassuring scent of sandalwood on him, she slowly calmed down.
"You know, it's not until now, when I hold you in my arms, that I feel it's a little more real." Shi Qiuwu rested his chin on the top of An Qingqian's head.
"Oh, by the way, when Wu Tiancheng was found this morning, he was already dying. King Dingyuan was furious and ordered his subordinates to find out the real culprit and avenge his son."
Shi Qiuwu told An Qingqian the news he had received today.
Since An Qingqian has chosen to take action against Wu Tiancheng, he should know all the situations over there so as to be able to cope with any changes.
"I already knew about this." An Qingqian knew that An Zhenyuan had told her some news during dinner.
"There should be some news over there, right?" An Qingqian asked.
"Well, Qianqian is really smart. Prince Dingyuan knows what happened in Fuguang Temple yesterday and has sent people to investigate Yingyi's identity. At the same time, his guards found a sachet when they checked the room. It is said to be made of floating brocade and embroidered with a soaring eagle."
"Who do you think is the owner of this sachet?" An Qingqian looked up at Shi Qiuwu.
Shi Qiuwu lowered his eyes, stared at the person in his arms and smiled, "I guess it's you who lost the sachet."
Upon hearing this, An Qingqian just smiled, neither admitting nor denying.
"That sachet, whether it's the material or the pattern, is not something that ordinary people can use. Prince Dingyuan is also very smart. He directly set his sights on the homes of various high-ranking officials in the capital and started investigating this matter."
"Let's see if King Dingyuan can find out the truth of the matter." An Qingqian raised his lips with a sarcastic smile.
Prince Dingyuan has not returned to the capital for more than ten years. This time he suddenly came back with his son. He must have some ulterior motive.
Moreover, the first thing he did when he came back was not to meet the emperor, but to secretly meet with Prince Yong's staff.
This made An Qingqian wonder whether his return had anything to do with Prince Yong.
"It seems that you are confident." Shi Qiuwu heard the pride in An Qingqian's words.
An Qingqian didn't say anything, but a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
