But Long Ai Ning was different.
In Nan Si's eyes, she seemed to be very clear stream in this kind of world, which was extremely rare.
No matter what the situation, she would laugh happily and it made Nan Si's days brighter.
For him, who was used to the darkness of the world, he liked her very much. So much that he kept on following her from time to time unconsciously when he was not doing his missions.
"I'm far from the word kind," Nan Si said calmly.
"I know." Long Ai Ning chuckled. "But in my eyes, you're really kind and it's enough."
She didn't need to know what Nan Si was doing when he was facing others. Because she knew that it was his face when he faced strangers and those who dared to threaten their Master.
They were his enemies.
Isn't it only natural for Nan Si not to treat them well?
But when Nan Si was in front of her, Long Ai Ning could see that he was indulging her and this made her really happy.
This kind of life is good.
As for leaving?
Sorry, Long Ai Ning didn't think that she would be able to live better if she were to stay outside of the Long Family Residence. There were no other places that they could go to and this is basically already the best place for them to stay.
Even if she has some tasks that she had to do, but she also has a lot of free time to develop dishes and have fun.
If she was outside, she would have to work and do other things too.
This is just how life is.
For the sake of their survival, there were some things that they had to do and it was simply inevitable.
…
While Nan Si and Long Ai Ning were having their personal time in the kitchen, Chu Yue silently moved away from the kitchen. She originally wanted to see if the food was ready but since the two people were still busy talking and all, she chose not to disturb them.
It was not the time for meal too.
After walking for a while, Chu Yue saw that Lou has just finished reorganizing the rest of the men who were left behind and didn't follow the army this time.
"Lou, are you not going with Long Xu?" Chu Yue asked curiously. She thought that Lou would also follow Long Xu to the battlefield and didn't stay in the Long Family Residence.
After all, these two people were both Long Qian Xing's adjutants.
If there was any battle, they would go on their own.
Being questioned was more like a routine inquiry for them.
Those who were truly doubted were those of lower ranked who didn't have much position in the Long Family Residence.
"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded and then she looked at the people who came. Her expressions turned bleak. "There are more gifts again?"
After Nan Hua gave birth to a daughter, the news spread out and other people also gave gifts to the Long Family Residence, congratulating Long Qian Xing for his child. The number was not that many because most people in this era still paid more attention to son, but they would still give some gifts for the sake of Long Qian Xing's face.
Naturally, the one who had to receive these presents were the four of Nan Hua's maidservants.
But after the arrangement, only Chu Yue and Ran were suitable to sort out the gifts because Mu Yan and Xiao Yun were helping Nan Hua to take care of the little girl.
Chu Yue didn't have much disagreement about this matter.
After all, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to help taking care such a little girl. She was also afraid that she might harm the little baby instead because of her strength.
But…
Why are there so many gifts?
Even if they wanted to give face to Long Qian Xing, they didn't have to give so much, right?
