Chapter 704: Untitled

Charlotte’s style was also relatively calm.

Gu Qingjiu smiled at her back view. Helian Niancheng walked over and lowered his gaze at Gu Qingjiu. “Don’t talk to her. She’s a little kid with great mischief.”

A little kid with great mischief.

It was rare for Gu Qingjiu to hear Helian Niancheng giving his opinion of someone.

Gu Qingjiu spoke her mind. “Charlotte is beautiful.”

Wasn’t this a superficial world?

Helian Niancheng chuckled. “You like the good-looking one.”

“Are you comfortable sleeping here tonight? If you’re not…”

He suddenly said something like this. He unexpectedly lowered his head for the remaining part of his sentence and edged closer to Gu Qingjiu’s ear before continuing to speak. “I’ll find time to come over and keep you accompany at night.”

“Nah, why would I not be comfortable?”

Gu Qingjiu shoved Helian Niancheng with a smile. Just as he was about to look up, an incredible female voice suddenly rang from outside the door.

“Lance?”

The duo looked towards the door unanimously and found Hilda standing at the door with an astonished expression on her face.

Gu Qingjiu shifted away from him embarrassedly, while Helian Niancheng got up calmly. “Mother.”

“Lance, can you let Qingjiu and me have some time together? I need to speak with her in private about some matters.”

Hilda’s words made both Gu Qingjiu and Helian Niancheng pause in surprise.

When Hilda spoke in English, she exuded the calmness and elegance, which had a convincing quality.

Helian Niancheng nodded. “Sure.”

He then glanced at Gu Qingjiu and indicated for her to be at ease before walking out.

After he had walked out, Hilda walked over.

She gazed at Gu Qingjiu gently. “Do you feel at home here?”

Gu Qingjiu nodded. “It’s pretty nice.”

“That’s great. I more or less understand what’s going on with you and Lance. You’re now attending military school in China and are also an outstanding trainee of the shooting department?”

“Mm, something like that.”

“I know that you and Lance have been dating for some time now. I more or less know what Lance is thinking. For him to bring you back shows that he’s serious about you. Then, I need to ask you this: Qingjiu, if you and Lance get married in the future, and the royal family requires you to end your military life in China and come here to be the princess consort, are you willing to do that?”

Hilda’s words astonished Gu Qingjiu and made her heartbeat furiously.

End her life in China and come here to be a princess consort? How was that possible?

“Us, the Helian family, although we no longer participate in the royal family’s activities, Lance is still a royal prince. Do you understand what I’m saying, Qingjiu?”

Hilda wore a beam on her face when she spoke of all this.

She didn’t make Gu Qingjiu feel pressured. But still, Gu Qingjiu found this hard to accept.

She then looked at Hilda. Before she could even consider what thoughts Helian Niancheng might have about this, she quietly shook her head.

Give up on being in the military in China and come here to be a princess consort.

To put it in nicer words, she would be a vase here.

Perhaps a princess consort would have a different value, but Gu Qingjiu could never do something like this.

Seeing Gu Qingjiu shake her head so firmly, Hilda seemed surprised. “Are you certain?”

Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips and said nothing.

She didn’t quite understand why she had to make such a choice.

Why couldn’t she be with Helian Niancheng without giving up the life she had in China?

Hilda suddenly reached out a hand and stroked Gu Qingjiu’s hair. “I was indeed not wrong about you.”
