The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor

ntly listened to with interest.

Although he already knew all about those matters, hearing them from her mouth was a completely different experience.
It was as if each word suddenly contained warmth and strength, and they left behind marks of various depths in his heart.

After she finished telling her stories, she said, “I’ve been talking about my affairs nonstop.
Why don’t you tell me yours for a change? Did you encounter anything interesting?”

Rong Xiu smiled slightly.
“It’s the same old on my end.
Nothing is interesting when you’re not around, so there’s nothing to say.”

A warm current surged within Chu Liuyue’s chest. Doesn’t that mean… he only finds the things that are related to me interesting? T-this person…

“That reminds me.
There’s something that’s troubling me a little…” Rong Xiu frowned and appeared slightly troubled.

“What is it?”

“I came to Xi Ling in such a hurry that I haven’t found a suitable place to stay in… I don’t know how long I’m going to stay here either, so that’s what makes things tricky…” He then rubbed his glabella.

“Come stay in my residence then! Didn’t I tell you that Cabinet Master gave me a mansion? Although it isn’t big, it’s enough to accommodate you.
It’s just that the place is rather plain and simple, so I don’t know if you’ll be comfortable staying there…”

A wide smile spread across Rong Xiu’s face.
“Of course, I’ll be comfortable staying at your place.
I thank you in advance then, Yue’er.”

…

Outside the courtyard, Yan Qing and Qiang Wanzhou stood facing each other.
From the holes in the latter’s clothes, messy hair, and panting, it was clear that Qiang Wanzhou had just been through a tough fight.

But opposite him, Yan Qing appeared all calm and composed, neither panting nor showing any signs of flush on his face.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked somewhat condescendingly at the other.
“Boy, you have some talent.
It’s just that… you’re still a little inexperienced.”

Qiang Wanzhou fell silent for a moment before saying, “One day, I’ll defeat you!”

Instead of being provoked, Yan Qing nodded his head with much interest.
“That’ll depend on whether you have that capability and luck.”

Although he wasn’t too fond of Qiang Wanzhou, after their sparring session, he had to admit that the young chap had absolute talent.
As long as he was groomed properly, he would definitely become someone formidable in time to come.
While he was indeed worthy to stay by Chu Liuyue’s side and become her trusty subordinate, his master…

The room’s door suddenly opened right then, and both Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu walked out.

Yan Qing and Qiang Wanzhou looked over at once.

“Master, Ms.
Liuyue,” greeted Yan Qing with a bow.

Qiang Wanzhou swept his eyes over at the couple, his gaze eventually landing on their tightly clasped hands.

Chu Liuyue then waved him over.
“Come here, Little Zhou.”

He obediently walked up to her.

She let out a cough before saying, “Rong Xiu is my fiancé, so you don’t have to be so wary of him in the future.
If he comes again, just let him enter.”

When Qiang Wanzhou said nothing, she raised her voice a little, calling, “Little Zhou?”

That was when he finally stiffly answered, “Understood.”

Chu Liuyue heaved a sigh of relief.
Although she knew that Qiang Wanzhou was just concerned about her, it was sometimes inevitable that misunderstandings might arise due to his aloof and untameable personality.
She could only slowly teach him all that later on.

“By the way, Rong Xiu is going to stay in our residence in Xi Ling City for the time being, so I’m going to take him there to take a look at the place.
” She planned to leave right away with Rong Xiu.

Qiang Wanzhou hesitated a little, but he didn’t follow them.
Instead, he looked up at the sky and turned around to return to his own room.
He emerged again a moment later, only to head toward Chu Liuyue’s room.

Yan Qing was aghast to see this.
The alarm bells were going off in his head, but a look of confusion appeared on his face the next moment. Is that… a rag in Qiang Wanzhou’s hand?!
