Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1717 A Short Birthday Interlude (6)

Nan Hua carried the cake slowly while walking with Long Qian Xing.

"I can carry it if you want me to," Long Qian Xing offered when he saw Nan Hua was staring at the cake in front of her. It was not heavy, but if she felt that it was bothering her, he didn't mind taking the turn to carry the cake instead.

"I can do it." Nan Hua blinked her eyes and looked at Long Qian Xing. "Brother Long, will you stop your subordinate if they want to start a family?"

"Huh? Start a family?" Long Qian Xing was a bit surprised by the sudden question by Nan Hua. He laughed. "If I can kick them to start family, I would have done that from a long time ago."

Many of his subordinate had followed him ever since he was young. And it was precisely because of this that they were used to stay around him and didn't have much life on their own.

Long Qian Xing had been itching for them to have their own family. Because he didn't want to see them stay beside him all the time and grew old to be so lonely without a life on their own. They might be his subordinate, but they were also human beings.ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

They deserved to have happiness.

But so far, his subordinate seemed to have come into a tacit agreement not to leave and instead stay beside him. Long Qian Xing also couldn't force them, so he simply stayed quiet and let them be.

Anyway, it was fine to let them work for him a while longer.

"That's good." Nan Hua nodded.

If Long Qian Xing didn't plan to stop them, then Nan Hua didn't have to worry so much. She also hoped that her subordinate was able to have a life on their own. That way, they didn't have to stay beside her for their entire life.

Long Qian Xing listened to Nan Hua's words and looked at the young woman beside him. His brain was turning very fast and thought about Long Ai Ning.

Long Ai Ning and Long Xu had followed him for a long time.

Back then, Long Ai Ning was still very young, so Long Xu had to put Long Ai Ning under other people to help raising her. He was working hard under him and didn't have much time to take care of this little sister of his.

However, Long Ai Ning also stayed in the Long Family Residence in the end and worked in the kitchen. One is because she liked cooking and eating, the other is because this also allowed her to stay near her brother.

From what he knew, Long Ai Ning hadn't expressed any desire to go out on her own.

It was Long Xu who had been pestering his sister so that she didn't have to spend her entire life in Long Family Residence.

"Have you seen Long Ai Ning with someone?" Long Qian Xing asked, rubbing his chin. It seemed that he would need to talk with Long Xu about this. After all, Long Ai Ning is still Long Xu's sister.

Nan Hua pursed her lips slightly. "Perhaps only good feelings toward each other. One of my subordinate is a bit close to her."

And it was also the subordinate whom she knew would not go around to socialize and interact.

That was why she guessed that he might have some interest in Long Ai Ning.

"Then let them be." Long Qian Xing chuckled. He didn't expect that his subordinate would find partner from Nan Hua's subordinate. But thinking about it, it was also good because it meant that they would be able to have more interaction together because of their subordinate.

At this time, Long Qian Xing even wanted to praise them for giving him more reasons to be able to stay with Nan Hua longer.

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and nodded lightly.

She didn't have the interest to pry into other people's relationship and meddle in unnecessary matters. It would be best to let the nature go on its course. If they were truly suitable for each other, they would eventually be together.

The two of them stopped before the campfire and sat down again. Nan Hua handed the cake in her hand to Long Qian Xing. The size of the cake was only enough for one person to eat, so it didn't matter if Long Qian Xing ate it all.

"For you, Brother Long."

"Let's divide it into two." Long Qian Xing picked the cake carefully.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "But it's your birthday."

"I want to share it with you." Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua carefully and smiled warmly. "Are you not going to allow me share it with you?"

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing blankly and then replied, "It's fine then."

Internally, she only felt that Long Qian Xing seemed to be really cunning and even try to lure her with this kind of reasoning. But she was also too lazy to refute and wanted to play along.

"Good."

Long Qian Xing separated the small cake into two and handed Nan Hua the other half.

Nan Hua took the cake and ate in small bite, just like how her aunt taught her. The cake was sweet and fluffy, each bite felt really good in the mouth. Nan Hua felt that Long Ai Ning's talent to cook was indeed really high.

On the other hand, Long Qian Xing's attention was on Nan Hua's eating. The way she ate was just like that of a hamster, very cute and adorable.

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua's red lips and silently looked away.

He had the feeling that staying with Nan Hua without anyone around has always been very dangerous. His mind would definitely wander to do something that was inappropriate for children.

"It's done." Nan Hua finished eating and looked at Long Qian Xing, who's staring in her direction.

She blinked her eyes, there was something wrong.
