Chapter 140 Qian Renxue: My Brother is a Fool

"How about this, let me show you around Heaven Dou City as an apology?"

As soon as Qian Renxue finished speaking, Xue Ke didn't care at all; in fact, she was quite happy. She just didn't want to go back to the palace. As for where she went or who she went with, she didn't care. As long as Qian Renxue was with her, that was enough!

But Ning Rongrong was somewhat unhappy.

If Qian Renxue hadn't said that, and Han Feng hadn't been willing to go back, wouldn't she have been able to have a natural opportunity to be alone with Han Feng?

But this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was shattered by Qian Renxue's words. How could Ning Rongrong be willing to accept that?

And for some reason, when she noticed the way Qian Renxue looked at Han Feng, she felt a little uncomfortable and subconsciously wanted to hug Han Feng tightly, like a child wanting to protect their candy.

As for Han Feng, he glanced at Qian Renxue, his eyes flashing, then nodded and said, "Alright! Thank you very much, Brother Xue!"

I'll take this opportunity to ask about Sister Qianqian's situation!

I almost forgot again!

As for the fact that the prince in front of us is actually an imposter, let's forget about that for now!

Qian Renxue and Xue Ke were overjoyed to see Han Feng nod, with Qian Renxue even saying, "In that case, I'll have to be a good guide!"

Ning Rongrong glared at Han Feng with some displeasure, leaving Han Feng completely bewildered. He asked blankly, "Rongrong? What's wrong?"

"I'm fine!" Ning Rongrong glanced at him.

Seeing the intimate scene between Han Feng and Ning Rongrong, Qian Renxue felt a sudden stirring in her heart. An unprecedented feeling welled up inside her, and she subconsciously wanted to separate Han Feng and Ning Rongrong, but reason stopped her. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever told her what "jealousy" meant. Moreover, she only regarded Han Feng as her younger brother now, so how could she know what was wrong with her?

Seeing her younger brother being liked by someone, shouldn't the older sister be happy?

I never felt this way when I heard about Ning Rongrong from Meng Shenji and the other two, or from Han Feng's letters, but seeing it with my own eyes just made me uncomfortable.

Qian Renxue wasn't sure what she was thinking, but she still spoke meaningfully, "Rongrong seems to be feeling unwell? Should I have Xueke take you home?"

Qian Renxue had met Ning Rongrong. After all, Ning Fengzhi was Qian Renxue's teacher. Qian Renxue had also been to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and occasionally saw Ning Rongrong. However, the two were not very familiar with each other and had only met a few times, so they could barely be considered acquaintances.

"don't want!"

No sooner had Qian Renxue finished speaking than Xue Ke and Ning Rongrong's eyes bulged out and they screamed in unison.

The two women's voices startled Qian Renxue and Han Feng, who looked at Xue Ke and Ning Rongrong strangely.

Xue Ke, however, didn't seem to mind, stubbornly insisting, "Royal brother! I also want some fresh air! How could I, the dignified princess of Tiandou, not even be familiar with Tiandou City? Wouldn't that be laughable?"

Ning Rongrong blushed and forced a smile, saying, "I'm fine! Nothing's wrong with me!"

She wouldn't feel comfortable letting Han Feng walk with a prince of a country!

As the legitimate daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master, Ning Rongrong was fully aware of the underhanded dealings among the higher-ups, and she immediately saw through Qian Renxue's intention to win over Han Feng.

These powerful figures will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, and arranged marriages and betrothal gifts are commonplace. If Han Feng, that simpleton, is tricked into an arranged marriage by Qian Renxue, wouldn't Ning Rongrong be devastated?

Looking at Xue Ke and Ning Rongrong, Qian Renxue could only nod.

Xue Ke and Ning Rongrong both smiled broadly.

"Brother! Let's go buy candied hawthorns!" The next moment, Xue Ke seemed to remember something and pleaded with Qian Renxue.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng rolled his eyes – Good heavens! He's still thinking about it now?

Qian Renxue gave Xue Ke a strange look, a sinister thought creeping into her mind: "This girl... has the palace mistreated her?"

A princess of a nation, finally managing to leave the palace, and all she thinks about is eating candied hawthorns? Doesn't that make the Heavenly Dou royal family seem rather pathetic?

"Okay! I'll do as you say!" Since Xue Ke had already spoken, Qian Renxue could only smile indulgently and agree to Xue Ke's request.

Han Feng and Ning Rongrong reluctantly followed, arriving at the entrance of a shop specializing in candied hawthorns. Qian Renxue said apologetically to Han Feng, "Ke'er is naughty; please don't hold it against her!"

Han Feng felt a little uneasy—he was certain that if he hadn't provoked Xue Ke earlier, she would never have thought of this.

"Brother Xue, you flatter me! Rongrong and I also want to try the candied hawthorns from Tiandou City, to see if they're different from those in other places!" Han Feng chuckled. To prevent Xue Ke from letting something slip, he took out a gold soul coin, took three candied hawthorns, and shoved them into Ning Rongrong and Xue Ke's hands with lightning speed.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue was completely stunned, staring blankly at Han Feng, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Han Feng frowned, looking at Qian Renxue's expression, then at the candied hawthorn in his hand, and tentatively offered it to Qian Renxue: "Um... how about you have one, Brother Xue?"

Even Han Feng himself didn't believe he said that!

Qian Renxue wouldn't be that petty, would she?

Is she angry because I didn't give her a candied hawthorn?

Qian Renxue was certainly not so petty. The reason she was so surprised was because she was shocked by Han Feng's generosity!

"Xiao Feng... is it really appropriate for you to use one gold soul coin to buy three candied hawthorns?" Qian Renxue said as tactfully as possible.

To everyone's surprise, Han Feng looked at the candied hawthorn in his hand with a puzzled expression and said with a sigh, "Isn't that enough? The candied hawthorn in Tiandou City is indeed precious! Ordinary people probably can't afford it, right?"

Ning Rongrong and Xue Ke on the other side looked at Qian Renxue with the same puzzlement.

Qian Renxue looked at the expressions of the three people in front of her and felt quite helpless!

This is way too much! One gold soul coin can buy over a hundred servings of candied hawthorns! What exactly are ordinary people like in Han Feng's eyes?!

Little did Qian Renxue know that although Han Feng did not come from a wealthy or noble family, he had an extremely doting mother. When Han Feng went out, he carried half of the entire Han family's wealth with him and never had to worry about money!

Moreover, Han Feng rarely goes out and rarely spends money, so he doesn't really have a deep concept of money. Even when he does go out, it's either a group activity or he's with Dai Mubai or Ning Rongrong. When he goes out with Dai Mubai, Han Feng never brings any money. At most, the two of them stay behind to wash the dishes, or Dai Mubai treats them.

As for Ning Rongrong...

Ning Rongrong was extremely sensitive to large sums of gold soul coins, but she never cared about small amounts like one or two.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is so poor that all they have left is this!

Xue Ke and Ning Rongrong were similar; as a princess of a nation, when had she ever spent her own money? Whether it was gold or bronze soul coins, it meant nothing to her except for the difference in color.

Looking at Han Feng's matter-of-fact, genuine face, Qian Renxue sighed inwardly, giving up on explaining. She simply shook her head and said, "It's alright. But I'll pay for the rest! As the older brother, how can I let you spend money?"

Han Feng felt that Qian Renxue's gaze was a little strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He could only frown and hesitate, "Alright then..."

Qian Renxue was both amused and helpless. She used to think that Han Feng was perfect, but she never expected that her younger brother would have such an unexpected flaw.

In the past, apart from the letters Han Feng sent, Qian Renxue could only get some information about Han Feng from Meng Shenji and the other two.

Meng Shenji and the others knew that Qian Renxue valued Han Feng, so why would they say anything bad about Han Feng in front of her? Naturally, they would only say the nice things!

As for Han Feng's letter...

This isn't a question of whether Han Feng is willing to expose his shortcomings; it's a question of whether Han Feng even knows what his weaknesses are!

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue felt inexplicably excited—this simple-minded Han Feng was just as lovable in her eyes, which made her eager to know more about Han Feng's shortcomings. This contrast made her unable to resist!
