After returning to the castle, Dongfang Yan went back to his room. Mu Lan looked at Dongfang Yan's back, and a feeling of loneliness sprouted in her heart. She had always been pestering people, but this time she couldn't move and could only be stunned.
She watched him leave. Mu Lan was a person with low self-esteem and pride. The previous pestering was based on knowing Dongfang Yan's doting on her. Now, his back was cold and distant, and Mu Lan could not make herself appear...
So humble.
"Mu Lan..." Luo Qing walked to Mu Lan's room and made a cup of her favorite hot chocolate.
"Sister Luo Qing..." The little girl tried her best to put on a small face and told her congratulations.
The two people sat side by side on the thick soft cushions, leaning on each other and chatting.
"Did something happen between you and Yan? Why do you look so cold?" Luo Qing originally didn't want to interfere in their affairs, but when she saw the lively and cheerful little girl suddenly cast a shadow,
There is always something unbearable.
Luo Qing has always known Mu Lan's sensitivity and intelligence, but no matter how smart she is, she is only a ten-year-old girl, and no matter how mature she is, she still has the softest and most fragile heart of a girl.
"I don't know either." Mu Lan curled up her body, dragged her head, and sighed innocently, "It's been like this since the past few days. I want to ask him, but he always talks about himself, so I can't do anything about it.
"
As long as it's something he doesn't want to talk about, it's useless no matter how hard others force him.
"Mu Lan, tell sister Luo Qing, what is your dialogue..." Luo Qing knew she shouldn't ask this, but she didn't want Mu Lan to make herself suffer so much when she was ignorant.
"I don't know if this is the same as the love you adults said, but I really like Yan very much." Mu Lan suddenly turned her head and said in a serious tone that she had never heard before, "I don't want to be separated from him.
, I want to be with him all the time. Maybe, Sister Luo Qing, you will think that I am a child at heart, but in fact, I am not. I really want to be with him seriously, even though I know that we are eighteen years apart.
Years old, but so what."
Sure enough.
Luo Qing frowned. Even if an ordinary woman fell in love with Dongfang Yan, it might not be that simple. After all the previous interactions between Dongfang Yan and Kai Yi'an, Luo Qing really had no way of determining what his sexual orientation was.
, Zixuan said that what he felt for Kai Yi'an was not love, but just pity, but Luo Qing felt that other than the person involved, no one else could pry into this kind of thing.
Not to mention, Dongfang Yan's identity is very sensitive. Although Zixuan didn't say it clearly, Luo Qing could still roughly feel Dongfang Yan's identity. Such a man who lives in danger all year round, really
Can it bring happiness to Mu Lan? The most important thing is that there is an eighteen-year gap between them. Even if Mu Lan is serious, Dongfang Yan will not have any interest in a ten-year-old girl, right?
Thinking of this, Luo Qing felt a headache. Mu Lan's problem was indeed more complicated than she imagined.
"Sister Luo Qing, you are the bride, so don't bother me anymore." Mu Lan stuck out her tongue and made a face.
Her matter is not so easy to solve. Maybe, as sister Luo Qing said, it is just a little girl's admiration for a heroic man. However, this admiration gradually made her change from admiration to
Admiration, that's all.
"But..." Luo Qing shook her head, looking at Mu Lan's forced smile, she became even more worried.
"Okay, go and accompany Brother Zixuan. I'm going to rest." Luo Qing was pushed half-pushed out of the door. Mu Lan leaned against the door and fell to the floor, covering her head and sighing.
On the other side, Zixuan, who was sent by Luo Qing to explore Dongfang Yan's tone, also sat opposite Dongfang Yan. It was a very strange thing for two grown men to talk about their matters.
"What is Mu Lan's identity?" Dongfang Yan finally said this after being silent for a long time.
Even though he had found out Mu Lan's identity, he still wanted to confirm it from Zixuan. Maybe it would be his fault.
"Since you asked, it means you have already checked, right? Your check is indeed correct, she is his daughter." Zixuan answered his question with almost no hesitation.
"Why?" Dongfang Yan suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Zixuan. This is the vigilance of a killer. Once he senses danger, he will unconsciously turn on his whole body's defense. Zixuan clearly knows the grudge between him and that person.
, why did he let Mu Lan stay with him even though he knew Mu Lan's identity? Doesn't Zixuan feel uncomfortable seeing him doting on Mu Lan so much?
"Mu Lan is Mu Lan, that person is that person, so what if she is a daughter?" Zixuan shrugged, as if he didn't quite understand what Dongfang Yan meant, "What's more, that person doesn't know Mu Lan's existence at all."
Hearing Zixuan's words, Dongfang Yan's heart tightened. Thinking of Mu Lan's lonely eyes before, he clenched his fists, not allowing himself to become so soft-hearted.
"Yan, are you going to take revenge on Mu Lan for your resentment towards that person?" Zixuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I don't think the Dongfang Yan I know would do anything to such a little girl.
.”
"Zixuan, what exactly are you planning?" Now that he knew Mu Lan's identity, Dongfang Yan had already sensitively thought of another question. He looked at Zixuan intently, trying to get something out of this cunning fox.
I found something, but found that it was simply a dream to see the truth from his expression.
"You are a person outside my plan, so you don't have to worry about being plotted by me. As for Mu Lan, since you don't plan to care about her, then how I plot against her has nothing to do with you, right?" Ji Jiangfa said.
Zixuan had become proficient in this trick when he was ten years old, not to mention facing Dongfang Yan, who was always straightforward.
Dongfang Yan pursed his lips fiercely. Even though he knew that Zixuan was right, he still captured the information in Zixuan's words. He indeed had a plan for Mu Lan. Privately, he didn't want the simple Mu Lan to become anything.
She should not be the kind of person who is used as a chess piece by others.
"She will be my trump card. Maybe when it comes time to reveal her identity, I won't hesitate." Zixuan stood up and looked at Dongfang Yan, "Yan, if you are really sure that you put her on the opposite side,
On that side, then stop worrying about her affairs. Whether she lives or dies, that is her life and it has nothing to do with anyone."
Looking at his feet in silence, he heard the sound of Zixuan walking out. The moment he opened the door, Dongfang Yan finally couldn't help but speak, "Zixuan, don't hurt her."
Because you, whether it is you or Luo Qing, are the people Mu Lan wants to be close to the most. If she is hurt by someone close to her, Mu Lan is not yet completely strong enough to ignore all harm.
After closing the door, Zixuan looked at Dongfang Yan, who had his back to the door, and sighed silently. Didn't he still understand? Compared to him and Luo Qing, Mu Lan couldn't accept Dongfang's hurt, even if it was just
A little bit of neglect and disregard will make her sad for a long time, right?
