Chapter 45 - 45. Do You Want To Be My Daughter? I

Third person POV

Long Quan slowly walked towards Li Zhenzhen, he slapped Li Zhenzhen hard. Li Zhenzhen was stunned by the sudden slap, she fell off her chair and the red pouch she held fell in front of Long Quan's foot. Long Quan coldly stared at the red pouch, he stepped and grinded the red pouch with his foot. He summoned an eunuch to burn the pouch. The eunuch was scared to anger Long Quan, he carefully picked the pouch from the floor and burnt it with his magma magic. ( fire branch element)

He shakily excused himself and swiftly walked out of the room. Long Quan looked at Li Zhenzhen coldly, Li Zhenzhen shuddered in fear. Step by step, he trudged towards Li Zhenzhen. He stopped in front of her and squatted, he gently caressed her cheek with his finger. Li Zhenzhen was trembling in fear, his touch was gentle but it was spine chilling.

Long Quan lifted her chin with his finger, he looked at her lovely pink eyes but she wasn't looking at him. He gripped her chin and whispered closely to her face. His breath touched her face, she hesitantly looked at him. She was terrified by his sinister smile, his grey eyes were looking down at her.

Long Quan: " My beloved consort, do you still think about him?"

Li Zhenzhen: " N-no Your Majesty."

She timidly replied, not like her usual confident self.

Long Quan: " Oh my dear, don't be scared. I like your smile, now, smile for me."

Li Zhenzhen lips were trembling, she couldn't smile. Long Quan's smile dropped, he slapped her other cheek and forced her to face him.

Long Quan: " S.m.i.l.e."

Long Quan said with his deep and indifferent voice. Li Zhenzhen forced herself to smile, tears welled up on her eyes. Long Quan smiled sweetly at her, he swept away her hair from her face and kissed her lip.

Long Quan: " Uhmm~ This is the smile that I love. Please don't cry my love."

Long Quan wiped her tears with his thumb.

Long Quan: " Forget him and love me. Why is it so hard? Don't make me do this to you, okay? I will be sad too."

Long Quan hugged her and patted her back.

When Xu Tingfeng exited the hall, Chen Wuyong (the prime minister) followed Xu Tingfeng's behind and glared at him. Xu Tingfeng suddenly stopped, Chen Wuyong flinched and took a step back. His face became pale as sheet and his body shivered from the coldness that Xu Tingfeng emitted.

Xu Tingfeng looked over from his shoulder at Chen Wuyong, his eyes were as cold as ice. Chen Wuyng could only tremble in fear, Xu Tingfeng ignored his glare and walked away. Xu Tingfeng went to the main gate and took Xiao Huo rein from the guards. He mounted Xiao Huo and left the palace.

The time Xu Tingfeng arrived at Xu residence, Bai Huiqing and Hong er were done with the preparation, they were just waiting for Xu Tingfeng. They directly departed as soon as Xu Tingfeng arrived.

After 5 hours of ride, they arrived at Spider Lily and took a rest there. Xu Tingfeng was discussing something with Xu Yingjie and Xu Yongzheng while Bai Huiqing and Hong er were talking with the others. Hong er was holding on Xu Zhaoyu while playing with the other 4 brothers.

Hong er cooked chicken soup for them as a parting gift, she used Xu residence's kitchen to cook the chicken soup and asked the servant here to warm it up. After Lan Mingzhu tested the chicken soup, she immediately complained to Bai Huiqing.

Lan Mingzhu: " Why?! Why is Hong er your daughter?! Can you give her to me? I will gladly adopt her."

Bai Huiqing: " Nope, I won't. You have two cute sons, why do you want my cute daughter?"

Lan Mingzhu: " Because they are not fun to play with! Their head are just filled with practice, practice, and practice! It's hard for me to even see them smile! Hu hu hu~ just look at Hong er, she is cute, filial, has good cooking skill, smart, and most importantly is her smile!"

Bai Huiqing: " No matter what you say, I won't give her to you."

Lan Mingzhu: " Hong er~, do want to live with auntie?"

Hong er was playing with her cousins, she felt like someone called her name so she turned around and smiled dazzingly.

Hong er: " Yes?"

Lan Mingzhu was blown away by Hong er's smile, she hugged Hong er and rubbed her cheek.

Lan Mingzhu: " Never mind! I will just kidnap you and keep you in my room."

Hong er: "?"

Lin Yingyue chuckled by Lan Mingzhu's childish behavior, now she felt like she wanted to tease her.

Lin Yingyue: " Hmm~ As expected, Hong er's chicken soup is the best. Can you cook it for me again in the next class?"

Hong er: " Of course, Lin laoshi."

Lin Yingyue: " Goo-"

Lan Mingzhu: " What?! What did you just say?! Yue er, this is not the first time Hong er cooked for you?"

Lan Mingzhu said with disbelief. Lin Yingyue drank her tea and smirked. After she saw Lin Yingyue"s smirk, she turned to Hong er.

Lan Mingzhu: " Auntie will visit you frequently, so remember to cook for auntie, okay?"

Hong er: " Uhm! I am happy that auntie will visit Hong er. And Hong er will try my best to cook for auntie."

Hong er smiled at Lan Mingzhu and kissed her cheek. Lan Mingzhu melted on the spot.

Xu Zhiqiang: " Mother, I want to visit Hong er too."

Xu Zihao: " Mother, me too."

Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Zihao eyes were glittering with sparkles, Lan Mingzhu couldn't help it, her two big sons were so cute. She wanted to ask Hong er's opinion but what she saw was Hong er's sparkling eyes.

Hong er: " I will be glad if Qiang ge and Hao ge visit Xu residence in Xi An. We can practice together!"

Both of them were overexcited, they can do the things they liked the most with the person they loved the most. They patted Hong er's head while she just kept giggling.

Lan Mingzhu: " I'm fine with it but you have to ask your father."

They nodded and when they wanted to go ask Xu Yingjie, the three Xu brothers came out from their room.

Xu Zhiqiang: " Father…"

Xu Yingjie: " I know what you want to ask. Coincidentally, I discussed with Feng er ( Xu Tingfeng) and we decided to let you and Hao er ( Xu Zihao) to train with him for 2 years."

Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Zihao were elated, ' Two years with Hong er!'.

Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Zihao: " Thank you father."
