Ye Feng returned to the villa and then had dinner with Hong Qingyan.
However, during dinner, Hong Qingyan kept her head down and didn't speak, appearing to be in a rather poor mood.
Ye Feng set down his chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter, Qingyan, you seem to be troubled?"
Hong Qingyan was startled for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said, "Big Brother Ye, actually, there's something that has been weighing on my mind for a long time, but I don't know how to tell you."
Ye Feng quietly watched her, watched this girl whose heart was as pure as the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, pale from illness yet with a pitiable grace that only made her more endearing.
"What's our relationship, you can speak your mind without hesitation," Ye Feng said with a slight smile.
As the Northern Border King, he rarely smiled, and it was only in front of Hong Qingyan that he would put aside his kingly demeanor.
