Chapter 509 Hesitation
He is not gentle, not considerate, has a dull and unlovable personality, and his cold face turns people away thousands of miles away.

But even so, his tall figure and that face still added a lot to him, attracting countless people to look at him curiously along the way.

When they saw the fat-bellied foreign woman in his hand, some women from the Lantern Festival felt very sorry that such a man was someone else's husband.

Shalan followed him quietly, feeling the eyes of these people, but had no reaction, and her expression remained calm.

Because she knew that these eyes could only look at her like this and could not threaten anything.

Suddenly, Xie Changqing stopped.

Sha Lan also stopped and was keenly aware that Xie Changqing's body seemed to tense up for an instant.

She looked at Xie Changqing and found that his gaze was staring not far away, so she followed his gaze.

There was a carriage parked on the corner of the street not far away. Standing beside the carriage was a beautiful woman in rich clothes. The woman was also holding a little boy about the same age as Xie Huan.

The little boy was also dressed in splendid clothes, and he looked as noble as the woman.

There were many guards and servants with him.

The little boy saw Xie Changqing, ran over and said happily: "Second Uncle Xie, are you coming out to the lantern festival too?"

"..."

Xie Changqing was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes."

"Then let's go together!" Xiao Yi happily grabbed Xie Changqing's sleeve and wanted to pull him away, but belatedly found Shalan being held by him and standing beside him.

Xie Huan and Xiao Yi had said something, so Xiao Yi immediately knew who Sha Lan was.

He looked at Shalan with slightly confused eyes, a bit critical and hostile in his eyes.

He learned about what happened between his mother and Uncle Xie some time ago, and also knew about his mother's desire to renew their relationship with Uncle Xie.

He had a deep relationship with Princess Anyang as mother and son, and also liked Xie Changqing very much, so he was looking forward to this event.

But after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Changqing never went to the princess mansion again.

I heard that Xie Changqing didn't respond to his mother's letter.

It's probably all because of this big-bellied foreign woman that entangled him.

Xiao Yi's eyes passed over Sha Lan and he didn't want to look any further. He shook Xie Changqing's sleeves and said, "Since we have met, let's get together, okay?"

Xie Changqing frowned slightly.

Before he could speak, Shalan squeezed his palm.

Xie Changqing looked back.

Shallan said, "I don't want to."

"You do not want?"

Xiao Yi made a face, "Then you can go home by yourself, it will be fine if the second uncle is with us!"

Shalan ignored him, just stared at Xie Changqing and said, "Xie Changqing, let's go."

The beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes standing beside the carriage looked here. Although she didn't say anything, Shalan just felt something unusual. She didn't need Xie Changqing's introduction to know that this was the princess.

She herself did not want to be with that princess, had no intention of competing with her and provoking anything, and she absolutely did not want Xie Changqing to get involved with her.

Xie Changqing hesitated.

He once had a deep love for Yun Xianning, and later went into self-exile for many years. She was the moonlight in his heart when he was a boy.

At this time, he was holding another pregnant woman standing in front of Yun Xianning... Such a scene made Xie Changqing feel a little embarrassed in his heart, and he felt a little embarrassed when he saw Yun Xianning's slightly bitter smile.

And his hesitation and embarrassment made the two women's moods even more unpredictable.

Yun Xianning saw his embarrassment and understood that he still had feelings for her, but now he was holding back because of the woman beside him.

But for Shalan, this hesitation ignited the anger in her heart.

In her mind, he shouldn't hesitate.

Why is he hesitating?

Shalan looked at Xie Changqing and said again: "Let's go!" "..."

Xie Changqing's eyes were complicated, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "I'll have someone take you back."

Sha Lan looked at Xie Changqing steadily, the eagerness and expectation in her eyes gradually dissipated, turning into a dull expression like stagnant water.

Xie Changqing frowned, feeling an unspeakable stagnation in his heart that made him breathe heavily.

She chased him out of Yaocheng at that time, and she was like this when he ignored her.

This posture is really depressing.

Xie Changqing couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, and his tone became softer, "I'll go back soon."

Shalan laughed, her smile was bright and bright, but her eyes were dull and without any warmth.

She slowly and slowly broke away from Xie Changqing's hand, turned around and left without saying anything.

Xie Changqing's entourage quickly followed her.

Xie Changqing frowned and stared at Shalan's stubborn and graceful back, feeling an urge to chase after her immediately.

But before she even lifted her steps, Yun Xianning's voice sounded behind her, "She is so beautiful... Of all the women I have seen in my life, none is more beautiful than her."

"..."

Xie Changqing turned around, his expression a little complicated, and he didn't know what to say.

Yun Xianning laughed softly: "When will she give birth?"

"Now."

Yun Xianning nodded, looking at Xie Changqing who was unwilling to say anything and whose heart was no longer here, a very faint bitter smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

God, I always like to tease people.

They were deeply in love back then, but they decided to break up their lovers.

Now that she lost her husband, she thought she had another chance, but there happened to be another woman beside him.

She thought they would eventually get together after ten years, but it turned out to be such an awkward and unspeakable scene.

But she had suffered for ten years and was unwilling to give up even though she knew it was forced.

"There are people buying lanterns in front of us. Let's buy a lantern together." Yun Xianning took the initiative.

Before Xie Changqing could say anything, Chang Sui, who had left with Shalan earlier, ran back panting and said with an extremely ugly face: "He's gone!"

"what?"

Xie Changqing asked in a dark voice: "What do you mean?"

"My subordinate has been following Miss Lan, but when she turned around and glanced at her, she felt a little dizzy. When she regained consciousness, she was gone!"

Xie Changqing's expression suddenly changed.

The subordinate couldn't be dizzy for no reason. Shalan must have used some evil spell on him again.

This woman!

It really can't save people's worries for even a quarter of an hour.

Xie Changqing turned around and left, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to the house immediately and call for someone to look for the little sister. Ask her to ask His Highness to help keep an eye on the four city gates."

Yun Xianning opened her mouth, but before she could say "Do you need my help?", Xie Changqing quickly entered the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yun Xian stood frozen on the spot, her face pale.

Xiao Yi held her hand worriedly: "Mother..."

"..."

Yun Xianning forced a smile and said, "Mom, it's okay. Let's go buy lanterns. Buy your favorite octagonal palace lantern, and then take you to eat delicious food."
