Chapter 508 - 505: Shared Joy_1
Bai Qingyan raised her eyes and met Xiao Rongyan’s deep gaze, gently tightening the white-glazed, gold-trimmed teacup in her hand.
His eyes carried a faint smile, calm as still water, as if he had not just said something shocking.
Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes, her smile deepening, her ears reddening. She steadied her mind and put on a serious demeanor, nodding: "Mr. Xiao, you’re very thoughtful."
"I heard that the Emperor plans to send the newly recruited soldiers to the southern border. I congratulate you on achieving your wish."
Bai Qingyan set down the teacup and said to Xiao Rongyan: "Congratulations to you too, Mr. Xiao, on achieving your wish."
The new soldiers sent by the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom would be trained by the Bai family army and might be used by them in the future.
As long as the Jin Kingdom stationed troops on the western border, the danger to Yan would be resolved.
Thus, both Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan would benefit from this, a matter worthy of celebration.
Xiao Rongyan sat just below Bai Qingyan, looking at her delicate, fair features, feeling hot inside. A day without seeing her felt like three years.
Recently, matters in Yan kept him busy. It wasn’t appropriate for him to visit Bai Mansion daily. And sneaking into Bai Qingyan’s chamber at night might have made it hard for her to explain to her mother. He endured these days and used the pretext of bringing a birthday gift for Bai Qingyan’s mother to come see her.
