“Miss… Miss Nan?” Wu Yue was stunned for a full three seconds before he reacted. “Wait, Miss Nan, how did you know the young master was here?”

Wu Yue was genuinely shocked.

They were under a signal block, unable to contact the outside world, and the outside world couldn’t locate them either. Yet now he was seeing Nan Yan!

Nan Yan raised an eyebrow slightly. “Was it that hard to find you?”

Wu Yue:

Was this high intelligence subtly looking down on low intelligence?

That was hurtful…

Taking a deep breath, Wu Yue forced a smile, revealing two pearly white teeth. “The young master is hiding.”

“There’s an annoying woman who will come to bother the young master soon. He didn’t want to see her and get irritated, so he went back to his room early and asked me to stand guard. If she comes, I’m to chase her away.”

“By the way, Miss Nan, the young master is being forced into marriage. You won’t let him be taken by another woman, will you?”

In two days, Duke Holtz would forcibly engage the young master to his daughter, and they were trapped here, unable to contact the outside world.

Wu Yue was worried that if the young master was tricked into it, he might end up engaged to Duke Holtz’s daughter.

But now that Nan Yan was here, everything was fine!

At worst, he could help Miss Nan crash the wedding!

Nan Yan’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Without my permission, I’d like to see who dares to take my man.”

“Miss Nan, you’re awesome!”

Wu Yue’s heart, which had been in turmoil, finally relaxed.

No more worrying about protecting the young master’s ‘innocence’!

The noise outside had already alerted Qin Lu inside.

Hearing Nan Yan’s familiar voice, he was already opening the door to come out.

So, when Nan Yan just touched the door, it opened automatically.

Before she could see who it was, an arm reached out, pulling her into a tight embrace.

Nan Yan felt her bones ache from his hug, but she obediently wrapped her arms around his waist, standing on tiptoe to whisper in his ear, “Brother, we’ve been apart for less than two days. Don’t be so excited, okay?”

Qin Lu’s heartbeat was rapid.

Indeed, their separation hadn’t been long, but he had never been so thrilled by her arrival.

She came looking for him while he was here.

This filled him with a thrilling sense of gratitude.

Suppressing the surge of emotions, he gently stroked Nan Yan’s hair. “Yan Yan, why did you come?”

Nan Yan gave a playful huff. “If I didn’t come, you’d be taken by another woman.”

“Never.” Qin Lu quickly explained, “I’m yours. No one else can take me.”

He wouldn’t agree to the engagement; no one could force him.

Not a duke, not even a queen, could make him compromise.

The only person he wanted was this little girl in front of him.

Other women were nothing but painted skeletons to him, unable to stir his heart in the slightest.

“I know.”

Nan Yan didn’t tease him further.

They had come a long way together, fully understanding each other’s feelings, and wouldn’t doubt each other’s love over such trivial matters.

Smiling, she asked seriously, “Brother, do you need me to rescue you?”

She feared Qin Lu might feel humiliated.

After all, being held here and forced into an engagement was quite damaging to his reputation.

Qin Lu heard the teasing in her voice and couldn’t help but explain with a mix of laughter and helplessness, “Staying here is just to wait for someone. If I didn’t have to wait for him, I could come and go as I please.”

In his mind, he was already cursing Bo Xijue.

If it weren’t for waiting for him, would this little one think he lacked the ability to get out?

It slightly hurt his masculine pride.

Nan Yan blinked. “Waiting for someone? Who?”

“Someone with a peculiar personality, very hard to get along with.”

Qin Lu’s tone had a hint of gritted teeth.

Nan Yan made an ‘oh’ sound, feeling that the person Mr. Qin was talking about might be her senior brother.

Her senior brother had a rather quirky temperament. Except for being a perfect senior brother to her, always responding to her requests, he was definitely not an easy person to get along with in others’ eyes.

And considering his high status, which even made dukes eager to befriend him, it made sense that he could have some sort of connection or cooperation with Mr. Qin… right?

Nan Yan was silent for a moment before speaking again, “What’s the name of the person you’re waiting for? Maybe I know him.”

Qin Lu replied, “He never reveals his name to others, but his last name is Bo.”
