My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along-Chapter 450: How About Repaying the Debt with Your Body?

Nangong Mo quietly pulled down the blanket covering his face, lowered his eyes, and gazed at the gentle and serene sleeping face of the person in his arms. His eyes, like dark jade pools, overflowed with tenderness.

...

Yun Ran had been resting at the villa for three days, torn between returning to Qishan to continue the hunt or heading straight back to the capital.

She had seen and experienced what hunting had to offer, whereas in the capital, her medical clinic, judging by the days, should have been refurbished and ready, with the opening imminent.

However, Nangong Mo had been assassinated, and she was plotted against, all of which happened at Qishan. Returning there now, though delayed by a few days, might still uncover some clues.

Yun Ran immediately packed her bags, preparing to head to the Qishan hunting grounds.

Nangong Mo entered the room holding a paper kite, saw Yun Ran packing her clothes, and was momentarily stunned. Then he raised an eyebrow, "Aran, are you planning to run away from home?"

Yun Ran turned around and gave him a sidelong glance, "Run away from home? No, I’m even packing your bundle for you."

Nangong Mo glanced at what she termed ’his bundle,’ which contained nothing more than a bowl and a bun.

Was this meant for him to go begging?

The man’s thin lips curved slightly, his demeanor elegant, "Is Aran thinking of eloping with me?"

"???"

"I am willing."

Yun Ran: "..."

Looking at him with a serious, sincere, and expectant expression, Yun Ran almost wanted to give him a bowl!

"Nangong Mo, be serious. I plan to head back to the hunting grounds."

"Does Aran not like it here?"

Yun Ran paused slightly at his words, and her gaze passed through the half-opened window, looking toward the courtyard.

The sunlight was bright, the scenery picturesque, under the white jade bridge were rippling waves, alongside the cobblestone paths were blooming flowers. This villa was fresh and elegant, possessing a unique tranquility, which she liked very much.

Moreover, here, with no one to disturb them, he could shed his façade and stop pretending to be blind or disabled.

Yun Ran’s gaze swept over the paper kite in his hand, and she lifted the corners of her mouth slightly, her dimples showing as she smiled, "I quite like it here. I’ve decided to come and stay for a few days frequently, so as not to waste the beautiful scenery."

Then she changed her tone, with a hint of mischief, "However, this villa now belongs to me. If you wish to stay here, remember to pay Silver!"

Nangong Mo: "..."

He pressed his lips together and cast Yun Ran a sidelong glance, half-smiling, "Talking about money hurts feelings. How about I offer myself as payment?"

Yun Ran: "... Get lost!"

"Where to? By your side?"

"..."

Yun Ran held her forehead, not wanting to look at him.

However, Nangong Mo guessed her intentions for going to Qishan and candidly told her he had already sent people to investigate. Regardless of the outcome, whatever they find, he would inform her completely.

In addition, regarding everyone who had visited the Qishan hunting grounds, if there was anything she wanted to know, he would tell her everything he knew, without reservation.

"If Aran hasn’t had enough fun and is still thinking about those spiritual beasts and herbs, I am, of course, willing to risk my life to accompany my lovely wife, searching every mountain, leaving no mosquito or blade of grass unturned."

"..."

Hearing this, Yun Ran’s mouth twitched violently, and she looked at him speechlessly for a while before picking up the bowl and throwing it at him.

"Take your dog bowl and go eat grass."

...

Qishan.

The person sent by the Crown Prince to the capital to gather information returned, reporting that Nangong Mo had not returned to the capital.

Nangong Jue’s face darkened slightly, "He truly hasn’t returned to the capital?"

If he hadn’t returned to the capital,

"The subordinate lingered outside the Prince Qin Mansion for a few days, confirming that he never returned to the mansion."

"In addition, the subordinates also guarded several of his properties,"
