"Qingqing, do you really think so?" Feng Cang lowered his head and lifted Murong Qiqi's chin, looking into her eyes. That pair of beautiful eyes were calm. There was no jealousy, no anger, and not even a hint of affection.
She had no feelings for him at all! Feng Cang's eyes were filled with sadness, and his heart ached. So this was what unrequited love felt like. It was like looking at a red flower on a tree, wanting to pick it, but unable to reach it.
Before he met her, he didn't know what love was. After knowing her, he knew what love was, but he also tasted the bitterness of falling in love.
"If my withdrawal can bring about a happy ending, I will naturally grant it!"
Murong Qiqi couldn't understand the faint sadness that emanated from Feng Cang.
It seemed that he must love that woman very much, which was why he had such a sad look in his eyes. It turned out that people in high positions also had their own frustrations and puzzles. But she didn't know who that woman was, and why couldn't they be together? It seemed that she had really become a big light bulb.
The two of them had their own thoughts, one on the left and the other on the right. Like a painting, they walked left and right.
"Heh …" Feng Cang let go of her and turned around to see the four hairpins on the table. He was instantly filled with jealousy.
No wonder she said that she would grant it. She was actually asking him to grant it to her! Did she know the meaning of the hairpins for the coming of age ceremony? Not only had she accepted a man's hairpins, but she had also accepted four of them at once! It seemed that his little princess was very popular! Could it be that one of them was her sweetheart? What should he do?
"Your Highness, Your Highness …" Murong Qiqi was puzzled when she saw Feng Cang staring at the hairpins on the table. Did these hairpins offend him? Why did his eyes look like that?
Murong Qiqi hurriedly put them away in her jewelry box. Her actions made Feng Cang even more suspicious.
"Qingqing, are the hairpins I gave you not good enough? Why do you have to accept other people's? " Feng Cang immediately put on a pitiful expression and moved closer to Murong Qiqi, but his eyes were fixed on the jewelry box that Murong Qiqi was protecting.
The two of them couldn't meet before going to Beizhou, so Feng Cang had waited until now to sneak over. He hadn't expected his little princess to accept so many hairpins.
Four! Did that mean that he had four love rivals? Who could it be? He had to let Nalan Xin find out!
They dared to have ideas about his little princess. Did those people eat the guts of a leopard? This Princess was decided by him, she was his person! He must swat all those flies and mosquitoes to death!
"Your Highness' hairpin is very good, otherwise I wouldn't have accepted it. As for these, they are gifts from friends. Naturally, I can't reject them. "
Murong Qiqi was puzzled by Feng Cang's behavior. He wasn't poor, right? Why did he covet her hairpins so much? Why did he look at them as a starving man looks at a loaf of bread?
"Qingqing, can you give me these four hairpins? I'll use the hairpins from the Treasure Store to exchange with you. No matter what you like, I'll buy it for you! "
Jewelry from the Treasure House was indeed a very tempting condition. If Murong Qiqi was an ordinary woman, she would definitely be tempted. However, she was the behind-the-scenes boss of the Treasure House. Those hairpins were personally designed by her, so Feng Cang's condition was completely useless.
"Your Highness, these are gifts from friends. How can you use them as a condition for exchange? Wouldn't you be letting down your friend's goodwill?"
Feng Cang almost cursed. His Princess Consort was really stubborn. Why couldn't she be more greedy, more thoughtful, and more sensitive like other women?
But then again, if Murong Qiqi was also that love-struck, big-breasted, brainless, and short-sighted, he wouldn't have taken a liking to her.
However, the most critical problem now was how to trick those annoying hairpins from the little princess's hands! When he got his hands on them, he would definitely smash those hairpins into powder and send them back to their owners. Hmph! Feng Cang's Princess was not someone they could covet!
Just as Feng Cang was racking his brains on how to trick the hairpins from Murong Qiqi, Su Mei's voice came from outside the door. "Madam!"
"Where's Young Miss?"
"Young Miss is in the room. Please allow me to report!"
So it was Li Qiushui. For the sake of Murong Qiqi's reputation, Feng Cang couldn't stay any longer. Before leaving, Feng Cang glared angrily at the jewelry box in Murong Qiqi's hand and jumped out of the window.
This man was really strange. Seeing the white figure disappear in front of her, Murong Qiqi was even more confused. Could it be that he had a fetish other than a hand fetish? Did he like collecting hairpins?
"Young Miss, Madam is here!" Su Mei lifted the curtain and was slightly relieved when she didn't see Feng Cang.
Even though she knew that this person was not her mother, she was still grateful to this body for giving birth to her. Thus, Murong Qiqi was still very polite. "Mother, please sit!"
"Don't be so busy. Let Mother take a look at you!"
Li Qiushui held Murong Qiqi's hand and made her sit beside her, looking at her affectionately.
Murong Qiqi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by a woman. She didn't know if there was something wrong with her senses, but she felt that Li Qiushui's eyes were hiding too many complicated emotions. It seemed like he was looking at her, but it also seemed like he was staring at someone else.
"Qiqi, do you still need to pretend in front of Mother? Quickly take off the Aquamoon Mirror and let Mother see your face! "
The Aquamoon Mirror! Li Qiushui actually knew that she was wearing the Aquamoon Mirror? If that was the case, then her guess was correct. She might not even be Murong Tai's biological daughter, and Li Qiushui definitely knew the truth!
With these doubts in mind, Murong Qiqi slowly took off the mask that was as clear as water, revealing her original appearance.
"Like, really like —" Seeing Murong Qiqi's face, Li Qiushui couldn't help but spit out these three words, looking at her with an increasingly excited gaze.
"Mother, who do I look like?" Murong Qiqi pretended to be innocent and looked at Li Qiushui curiously.
"Like …" Sensing that she had lost her composure, Li Qiushui quickly coughed, "I mean, you look like … your father!"
"Mother, who is the father you're talking about?" Murong Qiqi continued to ask. "Isn't my father Murong Tai?"
