Chapter 1970: To Stop or Not to Stop?
"Su Chen, please wait a moment, I’ll go report for you!"
One of the guards quickly said.
He knew that Su Chen was highly valued by the Family Head, especially since his relationship with Miss Xi was quite special!
Su Chen nodded and started waiting at the entrance!
"Su Chen, you’re finally back!"
Before long, a delighted voice sounded, and a graceful figure rushed over, immediately throwing herself into Su Chen’s embrace!
Su Chen didn’t expect this little girl to be so enthusiastic and was almost knocked to the ground. He quickly held her to stabilize himself!
"Cough, cough, cough!"
At this moment, a coughing sound came from a distance!
"Family Head of Nangong, long time no see!"
Seeing Nangong Jian approach, Su Chen felt a bit embarrassed and quickly tried to move away from Nangong Xi!
But unexpectedly, Nangong Xi held onto him tightly, refusing to let go!
The two guards at the door pretended not to see what was happening and looked into the distance!
Unable to do anything, Su Chen had no choice but to let the little girl hold him!
After a while, Nangong Xi looked around, realizing her overflowing excitement. She stuck out her tongue and released Su Chen!
"Su Chen, please come inside!"
Nangong Jian said with a smile.
Then, Su Chen followed Nangong Jian inside. At this point, Nangong Xi didn’t hold him anymore but did link her arm with his!
Nangong Jian was helpless about this, but if his daughter chose Su Chen, he was happy to see it happen. After all, such a monstrous young person is rare!
"By the way, Su Chen, I heard you’re going to participate in the grand trial with Princess Ling Ya?"
As they walked, Nangong Jian said.
"Yes."
Su Chen nodded; knowing this through the relationship between the Nangong Clan and the royal family was not surprising.
"Su Chen, I won’t stop you from going, but remember one thing: don’t overexert yourself!"
Nangong Jian said solemnly.
Feeling the genuine concern from the other party, Su Chen nodded in acknowledgment of this kindness!
Of course, he knew what to do when the time came!
"Alright, I’ll head back to my room now and won’t disturb you young folks!"
Nangong Jian stood up, looked at his daughter, and laughed, then left.
"Su Chen, last time you didn’t get a good look at my home, let me show you around!"
After Nangong Jian left, Nangong Xi pulled Su Chen up and said.
"Sure, having Miss Nangong as my guide is an honor!"
Su Chen joked.
The two then wandered around the Nangong Clan. After a while, Nangong Xi asked:
"Su Chen, where are you going later? Going to Sister Ji Ya’s place?"
"Yes!"
Su Chen nodded; he originally planned to see this little girl, Nangong Xi, before going to Ji Ya’s place!
"Wait for me then, I’ll tell my father, and I’ll go with you!"
Nangong Xi immediately said upon hearing this.
Before she finished speaking, she rushed away like the wind!
"This girl, always so frantic!"
Su Chen touched his nose and smiled wryly.
He stood in place, waiting for Nangong Xi to return!
Soon, Nangong Xi came back, skipping, and once again linked her arm with Su Chen, saying with a smile:
"Let’s go!"
"Why are you going?"
As they walked towards the gate, Su Chen casually asked.
"I haven’t visited Sister Ji Ya in a while, can’t I go see her?"
Nangong Xi replied naturally.
"Of course, you can!"
Su Chen couldn’t argue with that!
In truth, he knew this little girl was simply bored at home!
"Are you worried that I’ll ruin things between you two?"
Afterward, the little girl said with a mischievous smile.
Su Chen: "....."
The two walked straight towards the Imperial Palace, and once they arrived, everything went smoothly!
Whether it was Nangong Xi or Su Chen, there was no restriction on entering the Imperial Palace!
Then, they arrived at the familiar palace where Ji Ya lived!
"Sister Ji Ya, I’m here to see you!"
Nangong Xi’s voice rang out as soon as she reached the door!
Before she finished speaking, the door had already been opened!
The maid at the door naturally wouldn’t stop Nangong Xi; after all, she had been here many times!
However, for the man following behind—Su Chen—the maid wasn’t sure what to do!
Should she stop him or not?!
After all, this was the princess’s chamber!
How could a man enter without notification?!
However, considering his close relationship with Princess Ling Ya and Miss Nangong, what if the other party gets upset if stopped?!
What if the princess scolds them instead?!
While the maid hesitated, Su Chen had already entered!
At this point, it was too late to stop him!
Upon further thought, this wasn’t the first time. There was just a notification last time, but not this time.
In fact, Su Chen didn’t realize that his casual action led the maid to such a train of thought!
He hadn’t thought much about it, simply following Nangong Xi inside!
"Xi Xi, you’re here!"
Upon hearing Nangong Xi’s voice, Ji Ya walked towards the door. Seeing Su Chen, she was slightly taken aback but then smiled gently:
"You’ve arrived too?"
"Yes!"
Su Chen smiled slightly.
The two seemed to share a natural understanding!
The maid at the door relaxed upon hearing Ji Ya’s gentle voice!
It seemed her thinking was correct. Princess Ling Ya indeed had a special relationship with this young man!
She felt relieved, thankful she hadn’t rashly stopped him earlier!
...
"By the way, Su Chen, why don’t you stay here instead of at the inn this time?"
After chatting for a while, Ji Ya suddenly said.
"This..."
Su Chen hesitated upon hearing this.
But when he glanced up, he saw a hint of anticipation in Ji Ya’s beautiful eyes and nodded:
"Alright then!"
"Great!"
While Ji Ya hadn’t said much, Nangong Xi, this little girl, was already jubilant:
"Sister Ji Ya, can I stay here too these days?"
"Rest assured, I won’t disturb you two!"
Nangong Xi then raised her hand to swear.
She understood the two would soon attend the grand trial, so they must seize every moment for cultivation!
"Alright, little girl, you can stay if you want to!"
Ji Ya smiled looking at her earnest little face.
"You’re the best, Sister Ji Ya!"
Seeing Ji Ya agree, Nangong Xi immediately acted spoiled, tugging at her arm.
In fact, she felt it was too dull living alone, hence her desire to stay here!
Though the two might not have much time to accompany her, it’s better than being alone at home!
Besides, Su Chen is also here!
