Chapter 187 Bai Pianxian's Love Affair

Funing Restaurant

Inside the private room, Chen Qingsong, who had been waiting for a long time, felt his heart pounding with anxiety.

To distract herself, she recalled the moments she had known and spent with Bai Pianxian, and her turbulent emotions gradually calmed down.

Bai Pianxian walked in and looked at the man with a smile in his eyes and a warm expression on his face. The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.

When this man returned to see her three years ago after high school, and learned that she was going to observe three years of mourning for Grandpa Bai, he acted the same way, asking nothing and only tenderly promising, "I'll wait for you."

His affectionate eyes held a deep tenderness, and his gentle words carried a weighty force, striking Bai Pianxian's heart and unlocking its tightly closed doors.

At that moment, she thought, "If this person really waits for her for three years, then why shouldn't she give him her life in return?"

Thinking of this, Bai Pianxian smiled brightly and called out, "Qingsong..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingsong looked up, and the two locked eyes, their gazes filled with each other's presence. It was a mutual attraction.

Bai Pianqian lifted her foot and walked over gracefully, sitting down in the chair opposite Chen Qingsong.

She looked at the other person with a charming smile.

Chen Qingsong, who is composed and talented in the imperial court, becomes as clueless and uneasy as a street urchin when facing Bai Pianxian, who has a bright smile.

He opened his mouth several times, trying to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

Only when he heard Bai Pianqian's silvery laughter beside him did his panicked heart calm down.

Bai Pianxian rested her chin on her hand and asked with a smile, "So, what brings you here?"

Chen Qingsong poured Bai Pianxian a cup of tea, looked up at her intently, and said, word by word, "Pianxian, I love you."

"Will you marry me?"

Bai Pianxian sat up straight and asked seriously, "Am I the only one?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingsong smiled slightly, and a firm voice came from his mouth, as if from the depths of his heart: "For the rest of my life, only you are my witness, heaven and earth bear witness."

It was sincere and heartfelt, and its words resonated deeply.

Bai Pianxian was deeply moved. She suppressed the urge to cry and got up to leave.

As Chen Qingsong watched her departing figure, he assumed she was unwilling, and his heart sank deeper and deeper, aching unbearably.

Bai Pianqian walked gracefully to the door, turned back to look at Chen Qingsong, who was surrounded by an aura of grief, and said with a laugh, "Fool, what are you still sitting there for? I'm going back to the manor to wait... wait for you to come and offer your betrothal..."

After saying that, she turned and left, wiping away the tears that welled up in her eyes as she walked away.

Upon hearing Bai Pianxian's laughter and scolding, Chen Qingsong's mood instantly shifted from the harshness of winter to the warmth of spring, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. As he laughed, tears uncontrollably streamed down his face. It took him a long time to calm down before he left the restaurant.

Recalling the past, the first time he met her was when he was a child and his mother were selling vegetables on the street. He was a young boy wearing a short, coarse linen outfit and was helping his mother hawk her wares. When he looked up, he saw the lovely Bai Pianxian being led by Grandpa Bai in the crowd.

Later, Old Master Bai had them deliver vegetables to the Bai family. Whenever his mother delivered vegetables to the Bai family, he would accompany her if he had time. This continued for more than ten years.

Perhaps, as the stories say, some people are destined for life just by glancing at someone in a crowd.

Just like his feelings for Bai Pianxian.

Beijing

Murong Yu stayed in the palace for more than a month, leaving behind four Blood Spirit Fruits before taking his leave.

The day after he left the capital, Mu Chengyu arrived in the capital, but unfortunately, he still missed Murong Yu.

Holding the Blood Spirit Fruit given to him by Murong Zhi, Mu Chengyu learned from Murong Zhi that Murong Yu, the man he saw on the battlefield who resembled his father, was actually his uncle, his father's younger brother, Prince Fu, Murong Yu.

I was shocked and increasingly regretful that I hadn't been able to spend more time with him.
