Chapter 599 - Commander Yuan Song
Chapter 599 - Commander Yuan Song
On their way back, Xie Ming fell asleep while Jian Yan kept staring at her from the side.
In the car, only the driver was there other than them. This time neither Jian Yan's manager nor Song Xiner came because they have already told them to not come so far just to pick them up.
She was sleeping with her head against the neck pillow, with her hands wrapped around her chest in a relaxing manner.
Jian Yan pursed his lips and wrapped her with a blanket because the air conditioner was on in the car.
After a while, he also fell asleep with his head against the window.
….
Xie Ming knitted her brows while sleeping when she had the same strange dream again.
In her dream, a girl was sitting in front of the mirror and a young girl who seemed to be her maid was styling her hair.
This time, she could see the face of the girl clearly and it was not blurred like before. The girl was fair and beautiful. The girl has waist-long black hair, large bright eyes, cherry-like thin lips, and that innocent and sweet smile which made her look extremely elegant and attractive.
In her dream, she was looking at everything with the girl's perspective and could feel the excitement of the girl.
" Mei Mei...hurry up. I don't want to miss Commander Yuan." The girl who was getting her hair styled said impatiently.
" Miss, are you sure what you are doing is right? What if his Majesty finds out that you're going out secretly like this to see Commander Yuan?"
" Don't worry. He won't find out. Also, I am his only daughter, I am the princess of Tan Empire. What do you think can happen to me? " She said boastfully.
" Now hurry up and put on my hairpin. I can't spend my whole day getting my hair done. "
" Yes, yes." As said this, the young girl fixed her hair with her jade hairpin.
" Miss, why do you like this hairpin so much? You always wear this one. "
The girl smiled as she caressed her hairpin and said, " Because my father gave it to me when I was young. This hairpin is so precious to me because it was given to me by the father when he promised mother to not have any other Consorts or concubines, so from that day I became the only princess of Tan Dynasty. Just like the father has his crown, this is like my crown, my symbol of being the princess of Tan Empire."
The girl smiled subtly as she saw her reflection in the mirror.
Xie Ming frowned when the setting in the dream changed and it was now an ancient local market.
The local market looks like her past life where people were selling things on the street and it was crowded because it was the morning time.
The girl who claimed to be the princess of the Tan Dynasty was walking briskly and was trying to find someone among the crowd.
" Where is he?" The girl continued to walk while looking here and there.
" Ah, there he is." Her eyes glowed when she spotted someone walking in front of her.
She increased her pace trying to catch up with the person who was walking away from her.
" Commander Yuan Song."
The man who had his hands behind was walking on the street paused in his steps hearing the soft voice and turned around to see the person who called him.
He turned around and looked at the girl with a surprise, " Princess Tan Xiu, what are you doing here?"
The girl smiled and replied, "Ah, I was getting bored at the palace, so I just came out to look around. It's good to have fresh air, you know."
Yuan Song pursed his lips and nodded unknowingly.?[ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces). If you are reading this elsewhere, then this novel is pirated. Support the original author, not thieves. Regards Kamlyn]
" I was at the palace a few moments ago. I was there to have a meeting with His Majesty." The man said while maintaining some distance between them.
Tan Xiu nodded as if she was surprised to hear this. Of course, she knows that he was at the palace just now. That's why she came out hurriedly to find him.
The man pursed his lips and asked," Your Highness what are you doing alone? Where are your guards and maids??You didn't bring them along?" He raised his brows and asked in a low voice when he noticed that she was alone.
Tan Xiu pursed her lips and said hesitantly, " Yes. I feel suffocated when I bring my maids along. They don't let me do what I want to do and always nag at me to not do this and that." She said while pouting her lips as if she was wronged.
She looked at him with a hesitant smile and waved her hand which was behind her back signaling her maid to stay away from her. Her maid was hiding behind the wall and looking at her from far away. The young girl saw Tan Xiu's signal and hid well behind the wall.
Her Miss would kill her if she got caught by Yuan Song hiding like this.
The man pursed his lips in a thin line and looked around.
" This won't do. Prin...Miss Tan Xiu, you can't wander alone on the streets like this. It's not safe at all. Even though it's morning, you should not roam around like this." He didn't call her Princess anymore afraid that people might hear him and recognize her.
The girl kept quiet and was trying hard to control her smile.
' Ahh, he is worried about me.' she couldn't help but squeal in happiness seeing him worried about her.
" But I just came out and I don't want to go back so early. I haven't eaten anything yet." She said while puckering her moist lips a little.
Yuan Song's expressions stiffened seeing her acting cute like this. He pursed his lips and looked around and tried to keep his strong demeanor.
" If I go back like this without walking around then it would be a waste for me to come out. You know, I don't get many chances to go out like this."
" Commander Yuan Song, you don't need to worry about me. You can go and do your work. I will be fine on my own. I will just look around and after eating something 'alone' I will go back. It's not that something will happen to me." She said while looking at him with her innocent elegant smile.
Yuan Song frowned hearing her words and thought for something.
" How can I go back to do my work leaving you alone like this?"
" I am not going anywhere. If you want to look around, then you can do so, but I will accompany you. It's my responsibility to protect you, I can't let you roam around on the road alone like this." the man tried to sound righteous.
The girl's face brightened hearing his words.
' Of course, I don't want you to leave me. I didn't come out to roam alone on the streets '
She nodded and said, "Then... I apologize for troubling you. I know you're busy and have many things to take care of but I am bothering you like this." She said while walking forward.
He also walked beside her while keeping a certain distance between them.
" There is no need to apologize. It's my duty and I just can't let you wander on the roads alone. " He said while glancing at the girl whose hair was fluttering in the air making her look artistic.
Tan Xiu's lips curled up in a satisfactory smile when she looked at their steps which were moving in sync.
' I wish we can walk side by side forever.'
