nSeeing the smile on Long Qian Xing's face, Song Chuan chose to stay silent. He might only interact with Long Qian Xing for a short period of time, but he naturally knew that this young man was a double faced person. That smile must have meant that he was up to no good.

n

"The garden is this way.

"

nLong Qian Xing heard the voice of a servant as he glanced to the road. He could see two children at the age of 9 were walking in their direction. The two of them were dressed in light blue color, looking cute as in accordance of their age.

nBehind Long Qian Xing, Song Chuan was stunned when he saw the two children. He blinked his eyes before lowering his eyes.

"Your fiancée is still very young.

"

nLong Qian Xing was speechless.

"I'm only 13.

"

nSong Chuan:

"…

" he forgot.

nIt was only now he remembered that the young man in front of him, who was a head shorter than him, was indeed just a boy. He just couldn't forget the impression he had when he first saw Long Qian Xing at the battle where the young man fought bravely at the front.

nIt made him always think of Long Qian Xing as a commander rather than the young boy he actually was.

n

"Hua'er, if you're tired, I can help you carry it.

" Nan Luo eyed the small basket on Nan Hua's hand. Their servants were waiting at the entrance and Nan Hua was carrying the basket contained the Osmanthus Cake that the servants had prepared.

nNan Hua looked at her twin brother speechlessly.

nShe was even stronger than him by now, alright? Why would she need her twin brother to carry the basket for her when she was stronger than him?

nNan Luo really wanted to convince Nan Hua but he sensed someone else's presence and raised his head. The servant in front of him had also stopped and bowed in accordance to etiquette.

"Young Master.

"

n

"Young Master Long,

" the twins greeted right afterwards.

n

"First Young Master Nan, First Young Miss Nan,

" Long Qian Xing greeted them back with a smile.

"I didn't expect to see you as soon as I return.

"

n

"Grandmother Long asked me to pay a visit,

" Nan Hua replied softly. Her voice was small and sounded obedient. It gave of the impression of a shy and polite young lady, only to those who didn't know her.

nLong Qian Xing nodded.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the garden.

"

n

"Many thanks, Young Master Long.

" Nan Hua glanced at the young man behind Long Qian Xing. She didn't know who he was but he was certainly not the servant who often followed Long Qian Xing previously. However, she didn't linger her eyes on him for too long because it would be impolite.

nNan Luo grumbled when he saw Long Qian Xing but didn't reject it. Anyway, he came here because he wanted to have a spar with Long Qian Xing. By having a spar with this young man, he would be able to pull him away from his twin sister.

nHehehe, that was such a good plan.

nNan Luo was silently praising himself for being such a genius!

n

"Grandmother,

" Long Qian Xing called out when they entered the garden.

nOld Madam Long had been waiting for Nan Hua. When she heard her grandson's voice, she was a bit surprised. She saw her grandson and Nan Hua walked into the garden and a smile formed at the corner of her lips.

nEven without her calling, her son had taken the initiative.

nNot bad.

nThough, their distance was still a bit far… oh well, forget it. She would take her time slowly. There was still more than enough time until the two of them grew up.

n

"Hua'er and Ah Luo, come here.

"

nNan Luo blinked his eyes when he heard the way Old Madam Long called him. He was a bit taken aback by the kindness shown by Old Madam Long, especially since the only one who was called here was Nan Hua and not him.

nOn the other hand, Nan Hua called out softly,

"Grandmother Long.

"

n

"Silly girl, you don't have to use my surname when calling me.

" Old Madam Long laughed and beckoned for her to come closer. When Nan Hua was close, she patted her head tenderly. The more she looked at Nan Hua, the more she liked this small and obedient little girl.

n

"Are you getting better, Grandmother?

" Nan Hua followed her arrangement and asked.

nOld Madam Long nodded.

"Don't worry, this old bone might be old but I'm still very energetic.

"

n

"Mhm.

"

n

"Ah Luo, Ah Xing, come and sit down.

"

nThe servants had already dragged more chairs to the table in order to allow Long Qian Xing to sit down. The two of them naturally didn't object and sat down. Song Chuan felt a bit awkward, so he stood behind Long Qian Xing.

n

"Grandmother, this is for you.

" Nan Hua showed the small basket she had been carrying after she sat down.

n

"Oh, what is it?

"

n

"It's Osmanthus Cake. I bought several but if you can't eat it, I'll give it to Young Master Long,

" Nan Hua replied seriously.

nOld Madam Long laughed.

"I'm still healthy enough to eat it. Also, you can just call him with less polite address. He's your fiancé, why are you still so polite with him?

"

nNan Hua blinked her eyes. Shouldn't she call him politely because they were not married yet? The servants told her that the people here were very conservative since it was part of the culture.

nLong Qian Xing looked at his grandmother and sighed. His grandmother was already so impatient.

"It's fine, you can call me with 'brother.'

"

nNan Hua then turned to look at Long Qian Xing.

"Big Brother?

"

n

"Wait, Hua'er, you're not even calling me with brother!

" Nan Luo suddenly protested. He couldn't stand being silent any longer when his twin little sister was about to be snatched by other people! She didn't even call him brother, ah!
