"It's not impossible for me to go, but I still have something to do." A cold light flashed across Song Xiangsi's eyes before she could finish her sentence. She still had a lot of things to do.

Back then, her grandma could actually make people do that kind of thing to her. Song Xiangsi snorted coldly. She really didn't know how to bite people anymore. This matter wasn't over yet.

"Are you going back to solve Grandma's problem?" Meng Ling Xuan could immediately see through her thoughts, and a deep smile appeared in his eyes.

Song Xiangsi glanced at him unexpectedly, but surprisingly, she did not object. She only nodded slightly, "I will go to Qinghe County with you after I've settled this matter."

"No need." Unexpectedly, Meng Ling Xuan actually opened his mouth and refused.

Before he could say anything, Song Xiangsi, who had thought that she understood his meaning, suddenly turned cold. With an unprecedented coldness in her voice, she said, "Oh, if that's the case, then I understand."

Seeing her like this, Meng Ling Xuan held his head in distress. Deep in his eyes, however, there was a deep smile. He said in a comforting tone, "You misunderstood me. I meant that you don't need to care about that matter from the beginning anymore."

Upon hearing this, the already furious Song Xiangsi became even angrier, and she missed the part where his words were not right: "What, you still want me to let this matter go?"

"Sigh, silly girl, why is it that you always misunderstand my meaning?" Meng Ling Xuan took a step forward and placed his hand on her soft hair. He felt pity for her.

Misunderstanding?

A sliver of surprise flashed across Song Xiangsi's eyes as she widened her eyes. "You mean …"

Could it be that before she could finish her sentence, Meng Liangxuan had already smilingly nodded his head. "How could I let you do that kind of unscrupulous thing yourself? I've already settled it for you."

The atmosphere suddenly became tranquil. Seeing that Song Xiangsi did not have the joy that he had expected, for a moment, even Meng Liangxuan's heart did not feel at ease. He asked uneasily, "Did I do something wrong?"

Was it because he couldn't personally vent his anger and felt uncomfortable, that made him so unhappy?

Song Xiangsi was stunned for a moment before staring at him with a complicated look in her eyes. There had never been such a thing as a pie dropped from Tian'er before in the world. She said gently: "What have you done to her?"

"I got someone to teach her a lesson, then threw it to a remote manor and sent someone to look after it. Without my order, she wouldn't be able to come back for the rest of her life."

Because he didn't know what to think, Meng Ling Xuan hurriedly told her everything he had done, fearing that he would provoke her in any way.

Song Xiangsi's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly turned her head away from his deep gaze, her thoughts in chaos.

"Don't always be so kind to me." Song Xiangsi bit her lower lip as she tried not to open her eyes. This person was truly gentle.

She didn't think that there was anything outstanding about her that could make Meng Ling Xuan be so considerate towards her. Furthermore, she didn't believe that someone would treat another person so wholeheartedly.

"Because it was you." In response to her question, Meng Fangxuan fell silent. He could only deeply stare at her as she said those four words.

He was not a bad person. If that person was nothing to him, he would be able to remain calm and not meddle in other people's business even if that person was in front of him.

However, to him, Song Xiangsi was no ordinary person. She was someone he could care less about.

"Why?" Song Xiangsi looked at him blankly, concealing the shock in his heart.

Someone suddenly appeared to tell her that she had done what she wanted to do and that she did not need any reward. Song Xiangsi felt that this was a completely different story from what he had experienced previously.

In the past, she had always believed that everyone had their own agenda. No matter whether it was in terms of benefits or power, no one would be so kind as to help you without asking for anything in return.

However, the things that Meng Ling Xuan was doing right now didn't seem like those people she had met before. Although Meng Ling Xuan usually spoiled her and cared for her, in the end, she was still quite wary of him.

He didn't look as if he had always wanted to take advantage of her and act like a spoiled child. The gentleness in his eyes seemed to drip down like water, "I don't know what you went through before, but from now on, I'll accompany you on your path, never leaving."

Song Xiangsi was so shocked by these words that she did not notice the large hand he used to cause trouble for her. She only stared blankly at him as she tried her best to digest this matter.

But no matter what, Song Xiangsi had no choice but to admit that she had indeed been moved by those words. She lowered her eyes and stared at her slender fingers, the corners of her lips lifted as she muttered to herself, "Is that so?"

They were not married yet, so he could not ruin Song Xiangsi's name. He only said lightly, "Yes, from now on, I will accompany you."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Since the matter has been resolved, let's pack up and prepare to set off." Song Xiangsi waved her hand, no longer bothering about this issue.

Looking at her back as she hurried out of the door, the smile in Meng Ling Xuan's eyes became even more obvious. That little girl was obviously shy. Otherwise, with her character, how could she allow him to rub her hair?

Standing outside the door, a chilly breeze blew across her face. Song Xiangsi exhaled lightly to ease her tensed mood. It had to be said that she had been moved by Meng Ling Xuan's words for a while.

"What's wrong?" After packing his things and preparing to leave, Meng Ling Xuan's gaze was attracted by the people standing outside and looking at the road in confusion. He walked to her side and asked in a soft voice.

Song Xiangsi's attention was pulled back to him at that moment. His mood, which had almost calmed down with great difficulty, became lively once again. He hurriedly lowered his head, not wanting him to notice that he was in the wrong.

"Is everything ready?"

Seeing how she was ignoring him, Meng Fanxuan understood what she was feeling. He had been a bit too hasty today, and he was afraid he might scare her. He said tenderly, "It's about time. We're ready to head out."

Just as he finished speaking, Meng Ling Xuan walked to the side to deal with the matter of the tail sweep. Seeing this, Song Xiangsi let out a long breath, no longer as nervous.

To be honest, she didn't know what she was actually nervous about, but now that she had met Meng Ling Xuan, she was indeed in a state of tension.

When Meng Ling Xuan called her over, Song Xiangsi stared at the luxurious carriage in front of her. The corners of her lips twitched as she pointed to his mount. "I'll ride as well."

She was not the kind of girl who stayed in her room and never went out. The road was so long that she could not bear to sit in the car.

Having long known that she would say this, Meng Liuxuan ordered someone to bring over a seemingly docile little horse, preparing to set off on their journey.

"What are you doing in Qing He County?" Along the way, Song Xiangsi found a topic to talk about to cover his embarrassment.

"Go deal with the corruption case of one of the ministers of the court!"
