Volume 1 Chapter 010 Don't Leave You

  At dinner, Shangguan Qing'er was obviously very hungry, but she couldn't eat much and sullenly ate a bit before crawling onto the couch to sleep, treating this place as if it were her own home.

  Xia Jinhans wanted to discuss with the generals about matters such as the alliance and treaty with Zhao, and had no time to bother with Shangguan Qing'er, but felt that the girl seemed to be sulking at him, which made him feel somewhat displeased.

  He did this to establish strict military discipline, but she herself made a mistake and dared to blame him? Isn't it that he was too good to her, making her think she's a kind person?

  Xia Jin Han never thought of himself as a kind person, so it's even more impossible for him to take in Shang Guan Qing Er without reason and treat her so well. Everything must have a purpose...

  For the next two days, Shangguan Qing'er didn't say much and looked somewhat downcast.

  She didn't know what was wrong with her, but suddenly felt that Xia Jinhan was very cruel. Those people just didn't keep an eye on her and let her slip away, and he punished all of them. If she continued to stay by his side, wouldn't it be very dangerous? It's said that accompanying a lord is like accompanying a tiger, and although Xia Jinhan wasn't an emperor yet, he would be eventually. Did she really want to follow him?

  But later, Shangguan Qing'er felt that she was thinking too much and overestimating herself. Xia Jinhan hadn't even said he wanted to keep her by his side forever, who knows when he would abandon her, whether she could stay here or not was a question, so other thoughts were superfluous.

  Having thought of this, Shangguan Qing'er bit her lip and lay on the soft couch, turning over and over in her mind, weighing whether to continue staying with Xia Jincheng, that ruthless and cold-blooded man, or to leave him once and for all.

  At this time, a cold voice came from outside, "Qingyun, pass down the order, tomorrow morning pack up and leave Shacheng, return to the capital."

  "Yes, Your Highness." Qingyun took his leave and departed. Soon, the only sound left in the great tent was the crackling of the burning candles.

  Shangguan Qing'er suddenly sat up from bed, biting her lip, and made a difficult decision.

  She had to follow Xia Jinhans, this was her only way out. Since she came to this world, she must survive well here. She is now three years old and cannot go out on her own to make a living. Xia Jinhans is the crown prince, if she follows him, she will definitely be honored together with him in the future, at least she can grow up in a better environment. So, she couldn't afford to offend Xia Jinhans.

  Thinking of this, she immediately got out of bed and walked out from behind the screen without even putting on her outer clothes.

  At this time, Xia Jinhan was sitting in front of the office desk, supporting his forehead, looking at some memorials and other things, carefully reviewing them. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his handsome face, unparalleled in beauty, was illuminated by the candlelight, with a layer of golden light covering his entire body, as if he were a god, exuding an aura of nobility that was overwhelming.

  Shangguan Qing'er's breathing paused, and she thought that this man was truly a demon. It's said that men are most handsome when they're working seriously, and indeed, Xia Jinhans' current appearance was breathtakingly beautiful, even Shangguan Qing'er, who was now three years old, was enchanted by him, her heart fluttering with excitement.

  Even Shangguan Liang'er couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards heaven, why did others cross over and become 13 or 14-year-old young ladies, while she became a baby? Xia Jinhan was already 16 years old, in this era, as the crown prince, he should have had concubines by now, right? Probably even a crown princess.

  Looking at her own chubby paws, Shangguan Qing'er let out a melancholic sigh, feeling that fate was playing tricks on people. In the future, she thought to herself that she would definitely be filled with regret, "Once upon a time, there was such a beautiful love that appeared before me, I didn't cherish it well, until I lost it and only then did I understand..."

  Cough, no, it's not that she doesn't cherish him, but rather she never had the chance. Moreover, this actually has nothing to do with love or whatever, mainly because in her heart, she feels sorry for him - such a good man, what kind of woman would be worthy of him?

  Originally came out to apologize and admit mistakes, and also to please Xia Jinhans, but ended up standing by the screen, watching the beautiful man start to get infatuated and drool.

  Xia Jin Han had seen Shang Guan Qing Er early in the morning, and although he was very busy these past two days, he hadn't neglected this little girl. She was obviously throwing a tantrum at him, but he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her. If she wanted to throw a tantrum, then let her be. One of these days, if he found it annoying, he would just get rid of her.

  But seeing her staring at him with a silly expression and drooling, Xia Jinhan's mouth still twitched uncontrollably. Can this girl be any more outrageous? She's really a little pervert...

  "Ah..." Shangguan Qing'er was lost in thought, wondering what kind of woman Xia Jinhan would like, when she suddenly felt a pain on the top of her head. She looked up to find that Xia Jinhan had somehow appeared beside her and was now looking down at her with an air of superiority.

  Seeing Xia Jinhan's icy face, Shangguan Qing'er touched her head and revealed a bright smile, waving her hands and looking at Xia Jinhan with a timid expression, "Brother, hug..."

  "Huh? Aren't you the one who's been making a fuss in front of me? Why do I still have to hold you?" Xia Jinhan didn't know how he ended up arguing with a child, but his response was almost instinctual.

  Shangguan Qing'er hugged his long legs, rubbed against him, looked up at him with her powdered cheeks and sparkling eyes, every move was like a little kitten trying to please people.

  "Brother, Qinger is not angry, Qinger was wrong, brother don't leave Qinger behind." The childish voice, sweet and with a hint of pleading, made Xia Jincheng feel that all the discontent in his heart over the past few days had been swept away.

  But his face remained icy cold, and his tone didn't soften, "What do you take me for? Let go!"

  Shangguan Qing'er didn't get angry, nor did she give up. She just looked at him pitifully without making a sound. Her eyes were filled with pleading, her expression was one of grievance, and her tightly pursed lips were more lethal than any words.

  Xia Jinhans didn't show any mercy, and with a light kick of his foot, he kicked her. She held on tightly and wouldn't let go. He couldn't help but use a bit more force, but unexpectedly, that one use of force sent Shangguan Qing'er tumbling to the ground.

  Xia Jinhuan watched her tensely, seeing her fall to the ground without crying, only her body lightly trembling. That small figure, wearing only a white undergarment, in this night's outskirts, with the cold wind howling, how could she bear it?

  Xia Jinhuan also found that her small face was frozen purple, and her body was trembling, but she didn't make a sound.

  Half a sound, Xia Jin Han finally still stretched out his hand and picked her up, the big palm fell on her small buttocks again, coldly scolding in her mouth, "Don't you know it's cold? Wearing so little to come out, looking for death? Want to die just say it straight, this palace will fulfill you."

  Wrapped in Xia Jinhan's warm arms, Shangguan Qing'er immediately reached out and tightly hugged Xia Jinhan, sobbing softly and pleading in a low voice, "Brother, Qing'er was wrong, don't abandon Qing'er, from now on Qing'er will listen to brother."

  The tender voice, with a sobbing tone, made Xia Jinhan feel heartbroken as well. This girl was indeed pitiful, forget it, why bother arguing with a child?

  Xia Jinhan stuffed her into the quilt, but she tightly hugged Xia Jinhan and wouldn't let go. Tears and snot were all over his body as she cried out, "Gege, gege... Qinger doesn't want to leave you, wu wu..."
