Chapter 148: Destiny Had Been Set Long Ago

oyed to see Chu Tianqi return."Brother, you're leaving the state for two years this time. Your mother and father, along with all of us, will miss you dearly." Xiao Yufu, adorned in elegance, gracefu..."Yes!" Feng Yannie beamed: This young master's way of doing things is just like the old master. No wonder the old master had to coax and deceive her into inheriting the position of master back then.

"Miss, the Young Master has woken up." Qing Luo gently knocked on the door from outside at this time.

"Good, I'll go right away." Xiao Yuge and Feng Yanniang exchanged glances, then walked out one after the other, each going their separate ways.

"How did you get up" Xiao Yuge pushed open the door and saw Qian Tingxuan had already sat up, struggling to put on his clothes. She walked over to help without any shyness.

To his surprise, just as she finished dressing, Qian Tingxuan pulled her into his arms: "Xiaoge'er, you refuse to marry me, are you afraid of being a widow after I die" He knew that in his excitement just now, he had been poisoned again.

"No." Xiao Yuge didn't struggle either. She wanted to hug him, so let him hug her. Anyway, it wasn't the first time. She wanted to tell him the truth, but the absurdity of being reborn, even if she said it, no one would believe it. Besides, whether Heaven allowed her to say it or not was still a matter.

"Rest assured, I have faith in both you and He Crane. I don't believe I'll die so soon either, so trust me, we'll be together forever." He used to think it didn't matter, dying early or late was just a matter of time. But now, he wants to fight fate because he wants to spend his whole life with her.

Xiao Yu Ge leaned against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and her heart fluttered slightly because of his words: "Qian Ting Xuan, you always say that I said when I was a child, wait until I grow up, let you marry me, what's the matter Why do I have no impression"

"Little song, I'll take you to a place." Qian Tingxuan pulled her off the bed and ran outside.

But you're just right...

"It's okay."

"Love Lake What are you bringing me here for"

Xiao Yu Ge looked puzzled, wondering why Qian Ting Xuan brought her here.

"Little song, you really don't remember this place" Qian Tingxuan pointed to the lake surface covered with red silk ribbons in front of him: "Do you know why this place is called the Love Lake"

"I've heard that if you throw a red silk cloth onto the lake and make a wish, you can find your soulmate." Xiao Yuge looked at the piece of red silk, and the entire surface of the lake turned red because of it. It was like the bright red of a wedding ceremony. It was quite stunning. A certain image flashed in her mind, but she just couldn't grasp it.

That year, when I was sixteen, my elder brother suddenly said he wanted to arrange a marriage for me. I thought to myself, if I were to spend my whole life with someone I'd never met, what a boring life that would be! Even though I never believed in fate, that day, as if guided by some unseen force, I found myself here. I saw a small red ribbon floating towards the lake shore. I thought, perhaps it wouldn't be effective unless thrown onto the water's surface, so I figured I'd do the owner of the ribbon a favor. But I had forgotten that at the time, I couldn't swim...

"Then you fell" Xiao Yuge asked curiously.

"Yes, I slipped accidentally, and fell into the lake. Just when I was about to suffocate, a small figure jumped into the water, swam quickly to my side, grabbed me with her little hands, and even gave me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation..."

"Qi-transferring" Xiao Yuge frowned secretly. Wasn't that mouth-to-mouth

Qian Tingxuan stroked her head and continued, "When I opened my eyes, I saw a little girl about eight years old saving me. A pair of big eyes looked at me and asked why I was holding her red silk. Then I realized that the small piece of red silk actually belonged to her. At that time, the weather was very cold, and her clothes were all wet. She shivered from the cold, and her face was flushed red. I hugged her and used my internal force to warm her up. She said that I took her red silk and ruined her reputation, and asked me to marry her when she grew up. I agreed and gave her a jade pendant as a token."

"You wouldn't be telling me that little girl is me, would you" Xiao Yuge seemed to find the answer in his gaze. No way, she had done this kind of coercing people back when she was a child It couldn't have been her!

“I planned to send her back, but she refused to go. As we were leaving, she told me her name was Xiao Yuge, the second daughter of Prime Minister Xiao, and asked me to wait until after she came of age before coming to propose marriage! I wasn't at ease and intended to secretly send her back, but I didn't get far before I was overcome by the poison. That was my first time being poisoned; when I woke up again, ten days had passed. I sent someone to inquire about her at the Prime Minister's Mansion and learned that she had also been in a coma for seven days and seven nights before waking up. I rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion eager to see her, but I found out that day was the day she and Crown Prince Qian Sichin were betrothed…”

"The jade pendant you just mentioned, is this it" Xiao Yuge took the jade pendant she always wore from her neck and handed it to him.

"Yes, this was given to me by my mother. There's also a character for 'xu' on the back."

Xiao Yu Ge flipped to the back and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was indeed the character "Xuan" written on it. How could he have missed it before

"Little Song, you said it yourself. You told me to wait until you came of age before I marry you. Now that you've come of age and broken your engagement with the Crown Prince, why do you want to go back on your word"

Xiao Yu Ge stroked her forehead, a troubled expression on her face: "Actually, all you're saying, I have no recollection of. My memory only goes back to that winter when I was eight years old. Qian Si Chen carried me back when I was unconscious, and it was from that time onwards that I decided to marry him."

"You remember everything about him, yet you conveniently forget our time together. You little rascal, I was genuine, and you've forgotten How should I punish you" Qianting Xuan's hand went around her head, pressing her against himself, punishingly biting her lips lightly.

"You!" Xiao Yuge glared at him angrily. Those scattered images kept flashing in her mind, so she believed him.

"Over the years, I've traveled far and wide, trying to forget that promise we made. But when I learned you were about to come of age, I couldn't help but return. As a result, I was tricked and happened to meet you.......” Qian Tingxuan caressed her small face, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Little Ge'er, I did consider fulfilling your wish and letting you be with him, but you told me yourself that you don't love him."

Xiao Yu Ge tried her best to recall her past life. In her previous life, she and he had not experienced any of this. Could it be that the man from her past life had died on the night he was rushing back No, that couldn't be right. She clearly remembered that in her previous life, until her death, she hadn't heard any news about the death of King Xiao Yao.

"Little Song, you took my first kiss when you were eight years old, and my second kiss at fifteen. That night you even saw me naked. How can you not take responsibility"

"It sounds like you're the one getting the short end of the stick. This isn't the first time, is it" Xiao Yu Ge puffed out her cheeks, looking like a pufferfish." Soon, Xiao Yuge picked two fruits and threw them down to Chu Tianqi. 。Chu Tianqi reached out to catch her, but at that moment, the branch Xiao Yuge was stepping on suddenly broke!"Brother!" she scre...
