Chapter 416: Open And Aboveboard Display Of Affection

Translator: Vesper

The people playing cards saw the scene and were filled with envy.

”There are still so many people here, can’t you all be more considerate?” Xiao Qi Tian reproached.

Qiao Tian Chang opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Qi Tian, he then calmly said: “You can close your eyes if you’re not used to it.”

The corners of Xiao Qi Tian’s mouth twitched: “Tian Chang, I realized that your skin has grown thicker after marrying Meng Yao.”

Ning Meng Yao raised her eyebrows, there was a dangerous glint in her eyes: “Are you saying that I have led Tian Chang astray?”

”You’ve misunderstood, that’s not what I meant,” Xiao Qi Tian quickly shook his head after seeing half the people in the house turning their heads to look at him in a threatening manner.

The people here, other than Xiao Qi Feng and a few others, doted on Ning Meng Yao to the bone, if he had nodded, he would be asking for a beating.

Ning Meng Yao snorted, she then said proudly: “Tian Chang is best the way he is.”

”Yes, he’s the best,” Xiao Qi Tian echoed helplessly, if this carried on, he might be directly thrown out by the others.

Xiao Qi Feng cheerfully watched Xiao Qi Tian experience defeat in Ning Meng Yao’s hands, he never thought of helping out, he even seemed to be taking joy in his misfortune.

Xiao Qi Tian wanted to cry but had no tears, just who did he provoke?

Compared to the lively General’s Residence, Ling Residence appeared to be much quieter. Xiao Zi Xuan did not go out during the New Year, she only stayed in her own courtyard, As for Ling Luo, he was together with Marquis Ling. Both of them were furrowing their brows.

They were already prepared, yet on the contrary they couldn’t do anything right now, and not only so, but they were also unable to contact Nangong Yue, that was what caused the two of them to feel sullen.

”Father, what happened in the Ling Empire?”

”I’m too am not too sure, Nangong Yue can’t be contacted right now, there is no way to contact that side. No matter how well prepared we are, it is of no use,” Marquis Ling was having a headache, how did it turn out like this?

”Then father, what are your plans?” They needed to be well prepared, in case problems arise on that side.

Marquis Ling was silent for a long time, he looked at Ling Luo in a solemn manner: “I’m making a trip, I’ll personally head there to take a look, the army raised on that side also needs to arranged.”

They were already prepared, they just lacked a final push.

”Before I return, you will be in charge of the Ling Residence, but you must remember not to allow Xiao Zi Xuan to announce this. Also, do not provoke Qiao Tian Chang and his group,” Marquis Ling carefully instructed.

”Father, I know what to do,” Ling Luo knew it was a crucial phase for them, no matter how unwilling he was, it was not time to create trouble.

It was the holidays right now, there was no need to head to the imperial court. Marquis Ling disguised himself and left the capital with his men.

He had just left the capital, yet Xiao Qi Feng and the others already knew about his movements.

”It seems that he’s unable to endure it. Qi Feng, have you found them?” Qiao Tian Chang looked at the person opposite him.

”Yup, I’ve found them, in fact I’ve even headed there.” At the same time when Marquis Ling and the others were searching for them, he was one step ahead and headed over, he showed the secret order in his hands to a few people, he even told them that someone would be bringing a fake secret order over.

The other party seemed to be furious about that matter, it would be difficult for Marquis Ling to obtain their help.

Qiao Tian Chang looked at the smile at the corner of Xiao Qi Feng’s mouth, he shook his head in a speechless manner: “Yao Yao and I might return to White Mountain Village once this matter is over,” The two were silent for a short moment before Qiao Tian Chang spoke up.

Xiao Qi Feng was stunned, he looked at Qiao Tian Chang in a startled manner: “Why?”

”Yao Yao likes that place, I also find that place to be very good. Furthermore, we need to return to have a look at the newly built workshop,” Thinking about what happened there, Qiao Tian Chang suddenly realized there seemed to be many things to settle.

He didn’t know if Uncle Jiang had done what he had instructed.

Xiao Qi Feng helplessly shook his head, he had complicated feelings when he saw Qiao Tian Chang acting that way: “I do not know if the changes in you are a good thing or a bad thing.”
