I heard the little girl in front complaining persistently, and Lu Ruojiang whispered to Qin Liangwan, "Luckily, you're not that kind of girl."
Qin Liangwan's small hand covered Lu Ruojiang's waist, "What if I am?"
If Lu Ruojiang said something Qin Liangwan didn't want to hear, that fair little hand wouldn't be polite.
Lu Ruojiang smiled and held Qin Liangwan's hand, "If you want to, then I like it too. It's just that there might be some twists and turns between us, after all, I used to dislike others whispering in my ear."
"You're sensible!" Qin Liangwan snorted lightly.
Lu Ruojiang asked, "You really don't want anything?"
Qin Liangwan shook her head, "I'm a little hungry, let's go buy some snacks to eat, okay?"
"Sure."
Lu Ruojiang protected Qin Liangwan and walked hand in hand with her through the bustling crowd.
Just as Lu Ruojiang was offering Qin Liangwan some pastries to eat, the Lantern Festival suddenly descended into chaos. The crowd scrambled to escape, and the panicked and piercing screams were incessant.
Lu Ruojiang acted quickly, pulling Qin Liangwan into a small alley.
Qin Liangwan exclaimed, "I have to go back. Father and my brothers must be very worried about me!"
"Okay, I'll have someone escort you, be careful." Lu Ruojiang beckoned a commoner dressed guard, "You escort Fourth Lady back."
"Yes."
Watching the guard take Qin Liangwan to find someone from the Qin family, Lu Ruojiang was also escorted outside to the Lantern Festival.
"What happened?" Lu Ruojiang's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. This was his first time visiting the Lantern Festival with Qin Liangwan, and such an abrupt ending left him in a very bad mood.
Cong Bei, who was not only Lu Ruojiang's personal guard but also the leader of his intelligence organization, said, "After General Lin Boowen returned to the capital, he began investigating the matter of the stolen military equipment. A few days ago, he found something, and today at the Lantern Festival, they also came. Perhaps they had a conflict with the culprit."
Upon hearing about the stolen military equipment, Lu Ruojiang's expression darkened. "Do not investigate this matter any further; military affairs are not something we can interfere with."
Although His Majesty is kind-hearted, he is uncompromising when it comes to certain non-negotiable boundaries. Lu Ruojiang is quite content with the current state of affairs and has no desire to provoke the sensitive nerves of those in power. "Yes."
I saw a worried face looking for himself, Qin Kai, Qin Liangwan quickly asked the guards to leave, and then ran over by herself.
"Father!"
Upon hearing Qin Liangwan's call, Qin Kai instantly looked in her direction, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was really Qin Liangwan.
"Wanwan, are you okay? Where have you been? You weren't hurt, were you?"
"I'm fine!" Qin Liangwan shook her head and showed Qin Kai the pastry in her hand. "I was a bit hungry earlier, so I bought some pastries."
"That's good to hear." Qin Kai felt relieved as he looked at the paper bag in Qin Liangwan's hand. He smiled affectionately and said, "If you want to eat or play with something in the future, just call your second brother and third brother to go buy it. You mustn't leave without saying a word like you did today."
Qin Liangwan nodded obediently, "Okay."
...
Although the Lantern Festival didn't play to the fullest, the housewarming banquet at Qin Mansion arrived as scheduled, and Lu Ruojiang could see Qin Liangwan again.
This is the first time Qin Kai and Cui Danlian have returned to the capital after many years. They not only need to visit relatives they haven't seen in years, but also need to get to know the prominent families in the capital.
As the lady of the house, Cui Danlian started preparing early in the morning. When the time came, she and Qin Kai welcomed the guests together with Qin Yang and Qin Duoting, as well as Qin Liangwan who refused to go to the backyard.
