Chapter Six: Resignation from the Marquisate

Xiao Ge responded, having picked up a package from the bed and delivered it to my side, her pair of distinctly black and white eyes already swollen from crying

Am I beautiful? And who is Suqing?

Little Ge wiped her tears and said: "Young Master has waited for Young Master Liu for so long, naturally he will follow him."

I know they are reluctant in their hearts, and I cannot help but feel moved. My nature is inherently cold and indifferent; no matter how well Lin Qiuxiao treats me, I cannot muster even half a measure of warmth to respond to his friendship or any other feelings. Xiao Ge has diligently served me for seven years, growing from a thirteen-year-old girl into a twenty-year-old woman, her most beautiful youthful years completely spent in this small courtyard for me, and I have never once given her a warm and comforting smile.

I let out a soft sigh, gently embraced Xiao Ge, and whispered, "Take care of yourself"

Whether to follow Liu Qin was a question I had hesitated over before meeting her. However, just now when Liu Qin told Qingtian Hou that she would take me with her, I surprisingly felt it was a natural course of events, without considering any other possibilities at all

Liu Qin smiled again, somewhat indifferently saying: "No need, I will buy you a better one."

I am moved: "Do you know I am about to leave?"

His attire and headpiece appear simple and ethereal, yet upon closer inspection, they are exquisitely luxurious. Moreover, given his association with someone like the Duke of Qingtian, he is certainly not lacking in wealth. However, I stand by my opinion: "There are some things I do not wish to part with"

I touched my cheek and smiled wryly. Over the years, I have rarely looked in the mirror, let alone paid attention to whether I am beautiful or not. I am a man; as long as I am not ugly, that is sufficient. Why should I concern myself with my appearance?

It seems that Xiao Ge understands me even better than I understand myself

Suppressing the bitterness in my heart, I gently said: "Xiao Ge, please help me pack my clothes. Bring my teapot and tea leaves as well."

I want to return to my room to pack my things. I quickly stopped my daydreaming and answered quietly

Liu Qin seemed not to expect that I would be so stubborn in my opinions, her long brows furrowed. Although she still wore a faint smile, the icy glimmer in her eyes gradually intensified. Nevertheless, she said: "Alright, I will take you to hetushucomcom to tidy up a bit"

Qingtian Hou let out a sound of acknowledgment, neither affirming nor denying, yet in the gaze directed towards me, there was a hint of regret

Liu Qin had said to Lord Qingtian: "My lord, thank you for taking care of Ying'er over the past few years. Now, he has grown up, possesses remarkable martial skills, and it is time for me to take him away."

"Is there something?" Liu Qin turned around with a smile, her face blossoming with an enchanting curve, the lines as perfect as a finely carved jade ornament. The light emanating from her black pupils was mesmerizing, momentarily leaving me slightly dazed. In my memory, she was already beautiful, but now, she seemed to possess an indescribable charm, undoubtedly attracting many exquisite women.

Xiao Ge nodded vigorously, and tears soaked a large area of my moon-white garment

Could it be that over the past few years, someone was sent to teach him diligently, yet ultimately did not do anything for him, which left him displeased? However, since Liu Qin dared to entrust me to him, there must have been some prior agreement, right

In my room, Xiao Ge is sitting on the couch in tears, while Lin Qiuxiao is anxiously pacing back and forth in the living space

I halted my figure

Yet Liu Qin unexpectedly said she would leave, and truly took me out of the flower hall, heading towards the main road leading outside the residence
