Chapter 750: Chapter 559: Very Sweet, Afraid of No One but Princess Jiuyou

Having spent so much time with Jun Wuxian, even though they had a mutual understanding, they hadn’t engaged in overly intimate actions.

Even holding each other like they were now was a rare occurrence.

Jun Wuxian laughed out loud, "You’re now my bride-to-be, what’s wrong with me hugging you?"

Xun Qingqing shyly lowered her eyelids, "I didn’t say you can’t hug me."

Jun Wuxian had only intended to tease her, but seeing her react so shyly, he laughed and had her sit beside him.

"I thought you were quite bold before."

When Xun Qingqing first sat on Jun Wuxian’s lap, she indeed felt very shy. In her mind, such intimate gestures should only be shared with her husband.

"Can before and now be the same?"

Jun Wuxian looked at her with a half-smile, "True, I always saw you in a nightwalking outfit before, never saw your true face; your attitude is completely different when you show your face."

Xun Qingqing couldn’t help but retort, "Who says? My attitude towards you changed gradually; it just sped up a bit after I saw your face. That’s totally different from only changing after seeing your face."

Jun Wuxian, seeing her serious face, couldn’t help but laugh, "I know."

Xun Qingqing, clasping his arm, still looked at him earnestly, "Do you really know?"

Ever since someone, she didn’t know who, told Jun Wuxian that she thought of entering the palace because she was attracted to Xiao Jinyan’s face.

Jun Wuxian always teased her, saying that she liked him for his face as well.

She wanted Jun Wuxian to know that her affection for him was not just about his face, but the feelings of her heart.

Jun Wuxian pinched her cheek again and said with a smile, "Of course."

Xun Qingqing smiled, then suddenly thought of an important question, "Axian, do we really not need to inform your father about our engagement? Won’t he say that you’re too hasty when the time comes?"

Jun Wuxian thought about his stoic father, who had never shown concern for his marriage, even though he was already of marrying age.

"We’ll just tell him when the time comes, he doesn’t care about these matters."

Hearing this, Xun Qingqing, perhaps having read too many stories, automatically filled in her mind the image of Jun Wuxian being unloved at home, with a father who paid him no heed.

"Do you have a bad relationship with your father? He doesn’t care about you?"

Jun Wuxian smiled and said, "It’s true he doesn’t concern himself with me, but ’bad relationship’ might be an overstatement. You’ll understand when you meet him."

Feeling somewhat nervous, Xun Qingqing asked, "Does he have high expectations for his daughter-in-law?"

"He hasn’t expressed any expectations, but from his demeanor, I think there probably aren’t any. As long as I like you, that should be good enough." Jun Wuxian opened his folding fan and fanned himself while observing Xun Qingqing’s reaction.

Relieved, Xun Qingqing knew she was worried about not meeting her future in-laws’ expectations, which would certainly put Jun Wuxian in a difficult position.

"By the way, I’ve never traveled far before, what should I bring? How many sets of clothes do I need to pack? Should I bring some dry food? What if I get hungry on the road?"

"Just bring two sets of clothes; we can buy more along the way if necessary. For food, we can bring some dry goods just in case, but there are inns along the way, so we don’t have to worry too much about meals... However,"

Jun Wuxian gave Xun Qingqing a once-over, questioning whether she, pampered from a young age, could withstand the hardships of a long journey.

Xun Qingqing pressed, "However what?"

Jun Wuxian spoke truthfully, "The journey is long, and I’m afraid your delicate self may not be able to bear the hardship of the travel."

Xun Qingqing was afraid that Jun Wuxian would not take her with him to find Shen Chuwei. In truth, she feared even more that once Jun Wuxian left, it would be months before they saw each other again.

She had grown tired of the long and anxious waiting through the past year.

Clasping Jun Wuxian’s arm, she said, "I’m not afraid. You promised to take me with you; you can’t go back on your word."

Jun Wuxian chuckled softly, "Of course, I won’t go back on my promise. To hasten the journey, we’ll alternate between the horse carriage and horseback. Ask Cai Xia to prepare some extra cushions."

"Alright, I’ll have Cai Xia prepare them right away."

Just as Xun Qingqing was about to stand up, she heard Cai Xia’s cheerful voice from outside the door, "Miss, I’ll go right now."

Only then did Xun Qingqing realize that Cai Xia had been standing by the door all along, and her cheeks flushed even more, having overheard their entire conversation.

Jun Wuxian looked down at her fair cheeks flushed with a rosy hue and teased, "Why is your face red again?"

Xun Qingqing touched her face subconsciously, realizing that she often blushed when she was with Jun Wuxian, just like the stories described.
