"It's strange, I'm not dreaming either."
These words were spoken with confusion, and Lan Chengjin's eyes under the mask were full of doubts.
He tilted his head and couldn't help but ask.
"Tan'er, why are you torturing yourself? And also torturing me by the way?"
Xia Tan'er looked back.
After looking at Lan Chengjin's mask and figure for a long time, he asked again.
"Lan Chengjin...you are Lan Chengjin, right? You are not pretending to be someone else."
Hear this.
Lan Chengjin couldn't help but lower his head and chuckled.
"Xiao Tan'er, do you think anyone can pretend to be me?"
"That's not true...who knows what you look like behind the mask. If you really mean it, it would be too easy to pretend to be you in front of me."
"So, you want to see what I look like under the mask?"
The way Lan Chengjin looked at Xia Tan'er was so cute. If she hadn't been so close to her now, she would have wanted to reach out and pinch her cheek.
This world is really unfair.
Why is it that when a woman pinches a man's face, she looks cute, but when a man pinches a woman's face, it's teasing.
"I don't want to watch it. Curiosity killed the cat, so I won't watch it."
"Then what if you don't recognize me in the future?"
Xia Tan'er looked at Lan Chengjin again.
Suddenly I saw a very small spot on his neck. It would be completely invisible unless you pay close attention.
She pointed at the spot and looked at Lan Chengjin with a happy expression.
"There is a way. From now on, I will use this spot to identify you."
Lan Chengjin followed what Xia Tan'er pointed and raised his hand to touch his neck.
"good."
He happily agreed, but in his mind he thought that when he returned to Dong Lingjiu's identity in the future, he would have to cover up this spot.
"Then it's settled."
"Hmm... So, what you did just now, was you acting coquettishly with me?"
"Why, doesn't it look like it?"
"It looks like...it looks like it, but it's not like your style. You still act cool as usual. It's more pleasing to the eye."
"..."
Lan Chengjin was so full of grievances that she could only swallow it by herself.
He did such an unprecedented move, and was actually disliked by Xia Tan'er.
Unexpectedly, the next sentence was even more hurtful.
"So, you are acting coquettishly with me, do you want something from me?"
"I want to treat illnesses and save people, but I can't agree to it right now. The doctor in the Song Mansion said that I can't get out of bed and walk around anymore, regardless of the fetus in my belly. I was very lucky in the past few days."
"Do you think I came here to find you just to treat illnesses and save lives?"
"Isn't it?"
"..."
Lan Chengjin has nothing to say,
He didn't expect that he would be like this in Xia Tan'er's eyes.
At the moment, he can only persuade himself not to be angry.
But then, he asked an extremely profound question.
"So, three days ago, you didn't even care about the child in your belly. Why were you so desperate?"
"I heard from Song Lingcheng that when I saw you, you had already collapsed at the door of the Song Mansion..."
"Is it because of Aventurine Nine?"
Xia Tan'er was stunned.
He looked at Lan Chengjin warily.
"Why do you know about Uncle Nine Emperors?"
I was swept away by this guarded look.
Lan Chengjin was sad again.
Since he is so close to Xia Tan'er, why can't he be compared to Dong Lingjiu, who has only met her twice?
This moment.
Lan Chengjin was a little jealous of his other self.
"Just now in Song Lingcheng's room, Hongxiu suddenly broke in. Listen to what she said."
"hold head high."
This explanation makes sense.
Xia Tan'er's guard was also relieved.
"Yes, after rescuing the second prince Nanling at the palace, I came back in his carriage. It was also because he escorted me during the treatment that I was able to successfully treat Nanling Mu."
"But I didn't expect that Uncle Nine Emperors himself was seriously injured, almost life-threatening."
"The situation is urgent. I have to get help from the Nine Emperors, so I can only take care of myself."
"This Aventurine Nine is very important to you?"
"You have never been someone who would risk your life for others."
It’s no wonder Lan Chengjin knew this.
Xia Tan'er's performance was really too obvious.
When he was in the pawn shop, Song Lingcheng fell to the ground due to tuberculosis.
Even when she was receiving treatment, her first choice was to protect herself.
Therefore, Lan Chengjin was able to conclude that Xia Tan'er put herself first in everything, so she asked this question.
But Xia Tan'er was startled when she heard this question.
A flash of panic suddenly flashed through her narrow eyes, but she calmed down the next second.
She turned her head, her eyes burning.
As if he had made up his mind, he looked at Lan Chengjin with firm eyes.
"Well, it's very important."
Lan Chengjin was stunned.
In the past, his eyes, which were as plain as water and completely unconcerned by others, showed an expression of extreme surprise.
But then, as if he had gone through some kind of upheaval in his heart, his whole body was surrounded by a touch of sadness.
"That's why you are so desperate."
only.
The words have not yet finished.
But he was interrupted by the knock on the door of Song Lingcheng, who had been quietly eavesdropping outside the room for a long time.
"Can you two talk privately? I have something urgent to tell you."
"Come in."
Song Lingcheng opened the door and entered.
His eyes couldn't help but glance between the two of them gossipily.
The expressions on the two people's faces were the same as before.
Lost interest for a moment.
He pulled up a chair and sat on the ground one meter away from the two of them.
"I just went to get the contract, but I didn't expect that the stand-in who was pretending to be Princess Jin in Prince Jin's palace sent someone to send a message."
"What did the letter say?"
"In a few days, there will be a banquet in the palace, and Dongling Luo wants you to accompany me."
"You want me to accompany you? Where's Wen Moqing? What kind of banquet?"
"There is one more thing about this matter, Xiao Tan'er, you don't know yet."
"Do you remember that I told you before that something happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion these days, but you said you didn't care anymore, so the topic was not continued."
"Is it related to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"To be specific, it has something to do with your mother."
"My mother? What happened to my mother?"
"Your mother divorced your father because of you. Now without the help of your mother's family, the Prime Minister's Mansion has become the target of public criticism."
"And at the banquet a few days later, your mother will attend on behalf of the Lu family."
"In order to get help from your grandpa's family, Donglingluo took you to the banquet to win favor in front of your mother and uncle."
"The Lu family?"
"Heli?"
"Why can't I understand what you are saying?"
Xia Tan'er couldn't understand it more and more.
What does her mother's separation from her father have to do with her?
Even if Lu Yimo wanted to reconcile with Xia Zhao for her, where did Donglingluo get the confidence that he could win her over to her grandfather's house as long as he took her with him.
Don’t Donglingluo know?
The original owner's mother was as cold to the original owner as everyone else in the Prime Minister's house.
