Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(101) The Heart Gives Birth to Pity and Accompanies Him to go Sightseeing

Chu Qing-Yan walked out of the small alley and didn't know which direction to go to search for Xi Ning and the others, when she heard someone loudly shouting her name. She turned her head and saw Xiao Ran standing among a sea of people.

A top quality, well fitted, blue colored robe made his well-favored complexion seem even more fair and clear.

Having not seen him for many days, the guy had grown a lot taller. Seeing him, she couldn't help but recall a masterpiece in high school that described Bao Yu (1): Face like the moon during Mid-Autumn festival, appearance like the flower at the dawn of spring. Temples that seemed to have been cut by a knife, eyebrows like ink painting, face like a peach flower petal, eyes luminous like autumn ripples. She lamented in her heart that the boy would certainly be a lady killer when he grows up. Just looking at his appearance now, he already had the capital to ruin people.

Seeing it really was her, Xiao Ran's footsteps sped up as he headed towards her. He placed both hands on her shoulder, and he carefully and meticulously inspected her thoroughly. He only released a breath of relief after seeing she was still in good health.

Chu Qing-Yan was confused by his mystifying expression. "What's wrong?"

Xiao Ran, seeing she still had an "at a loss and not knowing to be afraid" appearance, his face stiffened immediately and he started to reprimand her. "Do you always go out without bringing your brain? Do you not know your own identity? Coming out to play and still won't let the bodyguards follow you closely! If it was not for this Highness having found you, don't know where else you would have roamed to!"

Just now, she was seized by someone without any reason and her heart almost jumped out. Now, being mysteriously vented on by someone, moreover, because Xiao Xu often lowered her identity to reprimand her on matters, no matter how good Chu Qing-Yan's temperament was, she still wouldn't have been able to suppress the emotions from today's bitter experiences. Therefore, her face became cold immediately. "No matter what happens to me, there is no need for Fourth Prince to worry about it. What identity I have, I am very clear. Do not need Fourth Prince to remind me again and again."

Maybe it was because her own tone was too heavy, when Chu Qing-Yan finished speaking, Xiao Ran stood in front of her with a blank expression. She was a bit annoyed, it looked like she still hadn't studied calmness to perfection and couldn't restrain her own temper.

Xiao Ran was anxious because he was concerned, he also regretted that he couldn't control his own temper. Seeing the self blame that emerged in the youth's pair of eyes before him, he said. "Don't continue to be angry. I was merely anxious when I said those words. Don't take what I said just now to heart!"

Chu Qing-Yan was just about to apologize but he rushed a step ahead of her with self-criticism. Suddenly, Chu Qing-Yan's heart felt somewhat uncomfortable, she recalled the past two times when she was almost killed. Xiao Ran's identity as Western Xuan's prince would always mysteriously run into some danger. Thus, he would become so cautious, precisely because he considered her a friend, that was why he lectured her just now. He was worried that something would happen to her, this could be considered that she used her own narrow heart to toss aside a gentlemen's heartfelt concern.

"Fourth Prince, Qing-Yan is also wrong. Please don't take it to heart."

Seeing her tone softened, Xiao Ran's heart relaxed, then he waved his hand. "Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about this. That's right, why are you here? If it was not for me going to Prince's Manor and hearing that you came out to play, then I thought I may encounter you by chance, and if I didn't meet Xi Ning and Fire Spirit looking for you, I also wouldn't have known that you got lost. You say, if I didn't find you first, then you would have been crying and snivelling!"
