The Stunning Mad Empress: The Useless Third Miss-Chapter 60 - A Lack of Heart Flutter

Little Pearl leaped onto the bed and began to dig into the snacks that were still left uneaten nearby with her paws.

“Hmm, Qian Xun’s kindness to me is indeed profound. No matter what, I must repay him in the future.”

“Master, you should offer yourself to him!”

While eating, Little Pearl puffed up her cheeks and added, “As long as the Honored One likes the master, the master is the most suitable person for the Honored One.”

At that moment, Qian Xun, who was personally holding a fruit plate and preparing to enter the room, suddenly stopped upon hearing Little Pearl’s words. He stood quietly at the door, waiting…

Xiao Qingcheng frowned, her blush still lingering on her face: “What are you talking about, you little thing? Qian Xun is your esteemed Honored One, and I am just the third miss of the Xiao family, whom everyone scorns.

Do you think there is a future between him and me?”

After finishing her meal, Little Pearl tossed the empty plate aside: “That’s not certain! As long as the Honored One likes the master, the master is the most suitable person for him.”

Xiao Qingcheng hugged her knees and curled up on the bed: “In fact, he is truly excellent. But I always feel… that I lack a sense of heart flutter for him.

Perhaps, I haven’t embarked on the journey of love yet. Perhaps, the matchmaker hasn’t tied my marital knot yet. In any case, I don’t want to think about romantic love right now.

Moreover, if Qian Xun himself has a woman he likes or someone who is a good match for him, wouldn’t it be awkward for him and embarrassing for me if I admired him?”

Little Pearl, watching Xiao Qingcheng speak at length without even catching her breath, held up a cup of tea with both paws and respectfully offered it: “Master, have a sip of tea to calm down.”

Xiao Qingcheng also felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and she thought that if she continued, she would blush again.

With a “creak,” the door was pushed open.

Qian Xun, holding a fruit basket, walked in: “Have some fruit. Later, I’ll use the people from the Xianfu to send you to the Xiao family.”

“The people from the Xianfu?”

Xiao Qingcheng got up and asked curiously.

Little Pearl added: “Actually, they are just the lowest-ranking guards from the Xianfu! Master, don’t panic. Those people don’t even have the right to touch my food normally.”

“Oh! Alright. Um… Qian Xun!”

Qian Xun sat at the round table, and upon hearing this, he raised his eyebrows: “Hmm?”

Xiao Qingcheng replied somewhat embarrassedly: “Truly… thank you!”

Qian Xun wiped all expressions from his face and just nodded indifferently: “Hmm!”

After a pause, Qian Xun suddenly asked curiously: “Are you truly sincere?”

Xiao Qingcheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in realization: “Yes, I am sincere.”

Qian Xun suddenly curled his lips into a smile: “As long as it’s sincere, that’s good.”

Xiao Qingcheng frowned, not understanding Qian Xun’s words at all. However, she was also smart enough not to ask further.

That afternoon, guards from the Xianfu were waiting at the back door of the inn. Qian Xun personally led Xiao Qingcheng out.

Several guards, upon seeing Qian Xun, immediately knelt on one knee, but were stopped by him: “Alright, just get Miss Xiao San to the Xiao family safely and intact.”

“Yes, we understand!”

Xiao Qingcheng looked at Qian Xun: “Do they know what to say?”

Qian Xun squinted his eyes, his face gentle: “Yes, don’t worry. Once you’re there, be careful. I hope you truly remember what I said.”

Xiao Qingcheng nodded: “Yes, I remember every word you’ve said.”

Upon hearing this, Qian Xun suddenly smiled. His handsome face, almost otherworldly, seemed to emit a golden glow that made Xiao Qingcheng unable to open her eyes.

Qian Xun, looking at the admiring Xiao Qingcheng, reached out his jade-like hand and gently tousled the little head in front of him: “Go.”

Xiao Qingcheng turned and walked towards the guards, but suddenly remembered something and paused to turn back: “Um, is the matter from yesterday also related to Xiao Family Town? I…”

“The matters in Xiao Family Town are not your concern. For now, just focus on dealing with the Xiao family’s main branch.”

Little Pearl, perched on Xiao Qingcheng’s shoulder, also said: “Master, don’t worry. With the Honored One here, these matters will be resolved. That second young master won’t be able to oppose us for now.”

Xiao Qingcheng pursed her lips, looked at Qian Xun with great gratitude, and then left without looking back.

Qian Xun watched Xiao Qingcheng’s thin yet extremely determined back, his eyes filled with a radiant glow.

Then, with a teleportation, he also left the inn.

After parting with Qian Xun, several guards from the Xianfu dutifully escorted Xiao Qingcheng to an extremely magnificent mansion gate.

“Miss Xiao San, this is the residence of the Xiao family’s main branch. This is the side gate, and it’s appropriate for us to bring Miss Xiao San in through here. Later, we will use the pretext of paying respects to Lord Xiao to get the young lady inside.

At that time, we will also speak on your behalf. Miss Xiao San, just stay relaxed.”

Xiao Qingcheng looked at the guards who were extremely polite and courteous to her and nodded: “Okay!”

“Master, it’s all because of the Honored One’s favor.”

“Hmm, I know. I really hope that one day I will be so revered too!”

“Wow! That would be so hard for the master!”

“Alright, let’s not chat more. Let’s talk once we’re inside this tiger’s den.”

“What’s a tiger’s den?”

“It’s this majestic, awe-inspiring main branch of the Xiao family.”

The guard handed over his token, and in a short while, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked out with a smile: “Oh my, what wind has brought the adults from the Xianfu here? Come in quickly!”

The guard, who had been extremely polite to Xiao Qingcheng just now, suddenly put on a haughty face and said: “We are here by order to pay respects to Lord Xiao. Lead the way.”

The middle-aged man immediately bent over and put on a flattering face: “Ah, yes, please come in, gentlemen.”

The guards glanced at each other, and the leader smiled at Xiao Qingcheng: “Miss Xiao San, please follow closely behind me.”

Xiao Qingcheng, holding Little Pearl, nodded: “Okay!”

The middle-aged man standing by the gate squinted his sharp eyes and curiously asked: “Who is this young lady?”

After all, the guards from the Xianfu were too obsequious towards Xiao Qingcheng, which really piqued his curiosity.

Before Xiao Qingcheng could speak, one of the guards interjected: “You are the housekeeper of this Xiao residence, right? Just lead the way. You are not worthy of knowing this master’s name yet.”

The guards were extremely diligent in protecting Xiao Qingcheng. At least before he finished his mission, there must be no mistakes.

“Yes, yes! I am one of the deputy housekeepers of the Xiao family. I apologize for my rudeness. Please come in, gentlemen!”

With flattery, Xiao Qingcheng and the guards entered the main branch of the Xiao family’s gate in a very dignified manner.

Once they crossed the threshold, it was already a different world.
