âI understand. Now the only thing that I am thankful for is that you are still here and thatâs enough.â

In Paramount.
Jiu Ming was leaning lazily on the back of the chair that he was sitting on.
A woman was respectfully standing in front of him.
âIt is the Mu familyâs masterâs birthday in a few days. Feng Lan, send a congratulatory gift on behalf of Paramount.â Jiu Ming smiled, evilly. âIn Feng Ruqingâs name.â
Feng Lan was stunned. âIn the princessâs name, or...â
âNo. It should be in Paramountâs masterâs name.â
Feng Lan was speechless.
âYoung Master, are you sure that Princess Feng Ruqing will not be angry if she knows that you have forced the titleâParamount Master onto her?â
Feng Lan was a little silent. After a while, she said, âRecently, the people of the Mu family have been wandering outside Paramount. If you do this, the people might find out that the spirit herb dish was provided by the princess.â
âYou donât have to worry too much. It will be fine as long as we deny it regardless of their guesses. You just have to let the people know that little Qingâer is Paramountâs master.â Jiu Ming stood up from the chair lazily. âLittle Qingâer went to Tian Shen Manor this time. She would definitely attend the Mu familyâs masterâs birthday feast. How can I not support her?â
Fengyun Manorâs name was obviously not enough to make Mu Ling uncomfortable. What if Feng Ruqing also held the title of Paramountâs master?
Did Mu Ling not come to Paramount for Divine Physician Qing Xian?
He would not tell Mu Ling that Feng Ruqing was Divine Physician Qing Xian. The entire Paramount belonged to Qingâer. However, if Mu Ling was nicer to Qingâer earlier, naturally, he would have easily found Divine Physician Qing Xian.
âAs for the gift, you can pick something from the spirit herb chamber. Donât be too stingy. We are going there to support Qingâer.â
âYoung Master.â Feng Lan glanced at Jiu Ming hesitantly. âYou care about the princess so much. Why donât you go there in person?â
âBecause Iâm afraid that I wonât be able to control myself from taking her away from Nan Xian.â Jiu Mingâs fingers stroked his lips. He smiled. âAfter all, little Qingâer is too attractive. I need to spend a lot of energy to hold myself back from snatching her away.â
This was bad.
His little Qingâer would definitely get angry.
Feng Lan lowered her head. âYoung Master, I understand.â
Young Master was so infatuated in Feng Ruqing. But he was still one step later than Nan Xian.
The princess already had someone who she liked.
Empress Nalan and Feng Tianyu were so affectionate. Their daughter would also be very loyal and affectionate. Therefore, it was impossible for Feng Ruqing to love another person other than Nan Xian.
If Young Master was unable to stop loving Feng Ruqing, he would be very lonely.
âThe birthday feast organized by the Mu family is bound to not be peaceful.â Jiu Mingâs smile was unfathomable. âWhen little Qingâer gives anyone a tough time, you donât have to say much. You just need to remember those peopleâs names.â
âYes, Young Master.â
Feng Lan bowed and left.
Jiu Ming gazed out of the boathouse. His eyes were gloomy and the lightning birthmark under his eyebrow looked even eviler.
âIf I canât take her away, then I will be her family. Iâd like to see how many people at the Mu family will bully her this time!â

Inside the inn.
Mu Huan stood in the room nervously. She looked anxious.
She always thought that Master had already left. She did not expect him to be here and it seemed that Master was in a hurry to find her.
âMaster, my mother and I went to find a birthday gift for Grandfather. I could not serve Master well during this period. Are you blaming me for that?â
