180 The Time is Up
After solving the problem with Yan and Soujin, Jun Hua can relax more. But, after a few days, she received news that makes her stumped.
"The time is up?" Jun Hua looks towards the paper in her hand. No way, it's this quick? If it was before, she would not hesitate and go from the capital right away. But now she can't do that anymore.
Jun Hua knows that this reluctance to leave the capital is not something in her original plan. It just happens naturally. She remembers her conversation with Kuina when that girl tells her that everything just comes to her naturally. Now that Jun Hua had experienced it herself, she finally understands.
"Miss, if we stay here too long, Strategist Wu would find out our plan and stop us, " Yamin said carefully. She was bringing a message to her Miss and judging from her Miss expression, she knows that Jun Hua is reluctant to leave.
"I know, " Jun Hua create the chaos exactly at the time of the other person return in order to let him not investigate them. Once the entire chaos ended, he will set his sight to Jun Family and it will be a bad news for them.
"Tell them to prepare for everything, " Jun Hua instructed.
"Yes Miss, " Yamin quickly disappears.
Jun Hua looks towards the door with a sigh. No matter how much she cherishes her feeling and her time here, she can't let go the important matters. Jun Hua closes her eyes for a moment, gathering her resolve to put an end to her stay in capital.
"I need to go to Restaurant Han Yan. Xia, you help with the preparation."
"Yes Miss, " Xia answered.
Not long after that, Jun Hua arrives in front of Restaurant Han Yan. Both Yan and Soujin are in that restaurant, bantering around. They are surprised to hear from the servant that Jun Hua had come.
"What is it, little girl?" Yan looks at the young girl with interest.
Jun Hua looks at them and opened her mouth, "It's time for Jun family to leave the capital."
The two of them froze. They have known about this news for some time, but no one dares to bring it up. Previously, it's because the news is truly heavy for them, but now, it's become even heavier for them. They thought that they can still wait for a little longer, but the time finally comes to an end.
Soujin looks at the girl in front of him. The crystal-clear eyes are looking at him without any ripple, but he could somehow detect the waves behind it. Is it also a hard thing for her?
"You can't delay any longer?" Soujin asks.
Jun Hua didn't immediately reply. She is surprised to hear Soujin question about that since she didn't expect it. In truth, she has been delaying her stay in the capital for a long time to wait for the attack from Lan Gao Ya. After all, she could just create a difference chance with Lan Ping always having an enmity with her other identity.
Even after that, she still stays in the capital and spends her time a few times with them. If not because of the letter she receives today, she would just stay in the capital for a longer term and wait for the emperor permission to leave the capital. But now, she can only fasten them and retrieve the permission quicker.
"There is no reason for me to delay any longer, " Jun Hua answered. 𝙛rℯ𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝓷o𝐯e𝗹 - 🅽🅽novel
Yan's mouth opened wide when he hears what Jun Hua says. Is this girl serious? She and Soujin clearly have been flirting with each other for some time and now she says that she didn't have any reason to delay her stay any longer?
Soujin expression didn't change, but there is a slight ripple within his eyes when he looks towards Jun Hua, "You don't have to lie."
"I'm not lying, " Jun Hua answered back.
"Does it mean you don't want to stay in this city any longer?"
She opened her mouth slightly. It would be a lie if she said that she didn't have any heavy feeling to leave this place. But she had to leave now that she already lost her second identity and the fact that her plan cannot be delayed any longer.
Before Jun Hua can answer, a servant come inside and bowed down respectfully, "General Soujin, Miss Tian Ni is here."
Soujin remained still in his place. His eyes never leave Jun Hua while Jun Hua didn't look at him directly. The two of them stayed like that for a few seconds until Yan breaks the silent. He coughed up to remind them that there are other people here.
"Your childhood sweetheart had come. Don't you want to greet her?"
This time, Jun Hua looks towards the incoming girl. She was still the same as before, petite and pretty. But, the way she looks back is somewhat disturbing. Jun Hua peeked towards Soujin and noticed his expression changed a bit.
Soujin noticed the movement of Jun Hua. He knows that he cannot hide it from her. He walked forwards towards the girl as Jun Hua and Yan still sit in that room.
Jun Hua looks towards the cup in front of her. What is this feeling?
Yan looks at Jun Hua expression and decide to tease the little girl a little bit, "Are you jealous?"
"Am I?" Jun Hua stared back. Her question along with her innocent expression is really cute to the point that Yan wished for nothing than hugs the girl. How can there be such a cute girl?
Yan quickly shakes his head to erase those thoughts from his head. If his friend were to find out that he had such reaction towards the little girl, he's sure that he won't be able to keep his head intact. The special treatment Soujin show towards the girl is painfully clear for him who already knows the other party for years.
"Why did you say something like that to him?" Yan changes the conversation in fear he would making himself fall for the little girl cuteness. He wants to curse himself to be so weak in front of pretty girls.
"Because it's the truth, " Jun Hua answered. It was only half truth since she indeed doesn't have any reason to delay anymore for her family, but she has reason for herself.
Yan doesn't know what to say anymore. He just sighed helplessly."You two are problematic."
"Yeah, " Jun Hua took the glass in front of her and sipped it. Her slow and elegant motion makes Yan unable to look away. He hurriedly drags himself back to the real world. He feels that he had done something wrong today, to think he would have his heart thumped for a little girl!
Yan shifted his gaze away feeling like he wants to cry. Previously, it's Jun Min who will beat him up if he stole a glance at Jun Hua. But now, Soujin would be the one who will beat him up. When will he find the change to look at a pretty girl?
