Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Old Madam Long nodded in satisfaction when she saw the two of them walked to the garden. No matter what other people said, she was very satisfied when she saw the two of them interacted with each other.

In her opinion, the two of them suited each other very much.

"Old Madam Long, do you have some time for a chat inside?" Song Chuan asked, pointing inside.

Old Madam Long squinted her eyes. "Fine, what do you want to talk about?"

"It's about some important matter, Old Madam Long." Song Chuan smiled.

Old Madam Long snorted. What important matter? Wasn't this young man only wanted her to get inside and not stay outside in this cold weather? But Old Madam Long knew that Song Chuan moved in accordance to what her grandson ordered, so she didn't protest and walked inside slowly.

On the other hand, Song Chuan glanced in Long Qian Xing's direction. He was originally here to talk about some matters with Long Qian Xing and to visit that place. But since his best friend was busy, he would not bother with him.

The two walked inside.

Meanwhile, Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua reached the backyard. There were various fruit trees that was planted here. It looked like fruit garden rather than ordinary backyard.

"Grandmother loved to eat fruits, so she asked the servants to prepare this place. The grapes are over there." Long Qian Xing pointed in one direction.

Nan Hua shifted her gaze and nodded when she saw the grapevine. Many of them were still small and green, but a portion was already big and ripe. They looked delicious to eat.

"Here."

Long Qian Xing plucked one and put it in front of Nan Hua's mouth. Nan Hua paused for a moment, staring at the fruit in front of her. She felt unsure about what she was supposed to do.

Not long ago, she was thinking about Long Qian Xing's strange action because of her interference. Some events that didn't exist popped up because she got involved in those matters and as the end result, she felt that Long Qian Xing kept on pestering her.

Not that she didn't like it, though.

Nan Hua opened her mouth and Long Qian Xing put the grapes inside. Chewing the fat and ripe grapes allowed the juices to come out. It tasted sweet.

"Do you like it?" Long Qian Xing asked with a smile.

"Mhm, it's sweet."

"That's good. Don't forget to spat the seed. You can't eat it."

Nan Hua: "…" I also know that.

She spat the seed to her hand while Long Qian Xing had plucked a few more grapes. He put one into his own mouth, chewing the grape.

"Do you want to pluck by yourself? The grapes over here are still unripe, so if you want to pluck the grapes, you should pluck the one over here."

Nan Hua nodded and followed Long Qian Xing's instruction. He only wanted her to pick the best and left the rest there. She herself knew how to differentiate them, but she said nothing and only thanked him in her soft voice.

The two of them continued to eat the grapes while Long Qian Xing talked about the fruits in the garden.

When Xiao Yun came to the garden, this was the scene she saw. She felt a bit depressed. Miss, why are you standing so close to him? Why are you letting him so close to you? Why are you even letting him feed you?

When she saw Long Qian Xing feed the grape to Nan Hua, she stepped forward.

"Miss, this is a basket to put the grapes."

"Ok."

Nan Hua took it and put the grapes she held in her hand inside. She looked at Long Qian Xing. "Do you think Grandmother would want to eat grapes too?"

"I'm sure she wants." Long Qian Xing narrowed his eyes. His grandmother loved to eat all kinds of fruits, so eating grapes should be fine, right? "Let me hold the basket for you."

"Ok, Brother Long."

Xiao Yun was standing at the side, not knowing what she should feel anymore. Even though the two people in front of her were engaged to each other, she still felt that they were too close!

How come there were barely any distance between the two of them?

She felt depressed when she thought about what other people would say if this goes out. Thankfully, there were no other servants in the garden…

Huh, no servant?

Xiao Yun looked around and only then she realized that there were indeed no one around them. She felt a bit confused because the Long Family Residence was a big place. How come there were no one here?

Little did she know that Long Qian Xing had dismissed his servants.

There were many spies sent by other people. He didn't want anyone to spread rumors about this or even knowing what he was doing with his fiancée. It would be better for them not to know.

Long Qian Xing glanced in Xiao Yun's direction. Seeing that Xiao Yun was keeping her distance, Long Qian Xing knew that Xiao Yun was already trained to maintain her distance when Nan Hua was with others.

That way, she wouldn't hear anything that was not supposed for her to hear.

"Hua'er," Long Qian Xing called out, his voice was a bit low.

Nan Hua paused her hand and then looked up. She was shorter than Long Qian Xing, so whenever she wanted to look at his face directly, she had to look up. "Yes, Brother Long."

"I'm sorry."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "Brother Long didn't do anything wrong."

Long Qian Xing pursed his lips. He had the feeling that Nan Hua knew what he was talking about, but she didn't want to breach onto the matter. Was she angry to him?

The words Emperor Yang Zhou said to him back then floated within his ear once again.

'Women are vengeful…'

He really hoped that Nan Hua was not like that.
