Looking at the sudden change in Ning Meng Yao’s expression, and noticing her cheeks getting red, Qiao Tian Chang asked curiously: “What? Your face is red like an apple . It gives me the urge to have a bite . ”

Ning Meng Yao, who was still a little embarrassed, became angry and even more ashamed when she heard him .
“No one will think you’re a mute even if you don’t speak . ” It was obvious that he knew she was embarrassed, yet he dared to say such a thing .
Qiao Tian Chang naturally noticed her embarrassment, he reached out and caressed her cheek: “Dear, I’m just teasing you . ”
Ning Meng Yao rolled her eyes and snorted . Then she proudly said: “From tomorrow onwards, you’re not allowed to come to my house to eat for a month . ”
“Your home is also my home . ” Qiao Tian Chang replied indifferently .
“This is my home . ” Ning Meng Yao stared at him .

“Okay, it’s your home . ” But I will also be living in it in the future .
Ning Meng Yao looked suspiciously at the man in front of her . She always felt that this person had some other hidden meaning in his words, but she couldn’t figure out what he actually meant .
Reaching out and touching Ning Meng Yao’s face, Qiao Tian Chang smiled and said: “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore . I have to leave for a while, for about five to six days . ”
Before the engagement, he received some news from Lei An . He had found the robbers’ camp, so he hoped to go there and have a look .
But because he had to prepare for the engagement, he couldn’t rush over to investigate . Now that he wasn’t busy anymore, he surely had to have a look .
Although he really wanted to be with Ning Meng Yao now, there were things that he couldn’t abandon .

Ning Meng Yao’s brows slightly wrinkled: “Where are you going?”
“It’s about the robbers . Lei An has found out their camp and needs me to be there . ” Qiao Tian Chang said in an apologetic tone .
Ning Meng Yao looked up at Qiao Tian Chang, her eyes were full of inquiry .
“How are you related with them?” This was what she wanted to know the most .
She didn’t care about his past, as long as he was with her in this place to lead a normal life together, but now he told her that he had to leave .
Although he said it very simply, that he was just going to the robber’s camp, if there weren’t any trust, why would they easily let him go? Not only that, they seemed to be deliberately calling him over .

Qiao Tian Chang reached out and hugged Ning Meng Yao . A faint smile appeared on his face: “I stayed on the battlefield before . I was a general . After the war ended, I left and came to this place . I’ve also informed the top . If there’s no war, I won’t go back . But this is different because those robbers are a little tricky to handle . They couldn’t find a suitable person, so they ask for me . Besides, he and me are like brothers . ”
After the explanation, Ning Meng Yao finally understood . She withdrew from his arms and looked at his handsome face seriously .
She always knew that he was extraordinary, but didn’t expect that he used to be a general . Now she understood that he wouldn’t return unless there was war .
As far as her understanding, every country’s diplomatic relation was still relatively stable, so it was easy to avoid war . At the same time, the one above was also quite ironic . Since the moment he claimed the throne to now, he had dealt with many dissidents, and had most of the rights in his control . Therefore, he wouldn’t allow anyone to challenge his authority .
“I’ll be here waiting for you to return . ” After thinking about it, Ning Meng Yao smiled slightly .
“Alright, I’ll be back soon . You have to be careful too, understand?” Although she had many talented people protecting her, he was still worried .
Ning Meng Yao patted his hands and whispered softly: “Don’t worry, I’m not easily bullied . ”
Qiao Tian Chang smiled . After the explanation, he stayed with Ning Meng Yao until very late before going back home .
At his own home, Qiao Tian Chang felt dissatisfied . He wondered: Should I marry Ning Meng Yao when I’m back? After the engagement, he found it weird to be living alone in this empty house . It was too quiet .
How did he not realized it sooner?
In her room, Ning Meng Yao also couldn’t sleep . She turned and twisted, and finally fell asleep in the early morning . She got up early the next morning, and prepared some dry food for Qiao Tian Chang to bring along in his journey . After having a meal together, she stood at the door, looking at the man on the horse riding away .
Looking at his back as it gradually becoming smaller, she couldn’t do anything but pray that he would return safely .
