Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 326 Su Ran's Worries

After settling down, Su Ran slowly opened the door. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a scene that made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Nangong Qi was looking at Shen Li with an infatuated look. Anyone could see the infatuation in his eyes. Shen Li stood there, and seemed to feel a little uncomfortable being looked at by Nangong Qi.

Su Ran frowned slightly, and an inexplicable jealousy surged in his heart. He deliberately cleared his throat and coughed heavily. The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the slightly quiet atmosphere.

Shen Li seemed to come back to her senses when she heard the cough. She quickly turned to look at Su Ran, then quickly shifted her gaze back to Nangong Qi. She said to Nangong Qi in a slightly urgent tone, "Alright, alright, go back quickly. The journey is not short. If you delay here any longer, I'm afraid it will be dark soon."

Nangong Qi's heart skipped a beat. He had indeed made up a lie just now, saying that the palace was not far from here, but in fact, it would take a lot of time to go back and arrange many matters for Shen Li to enter the palace.

At this moment, being urged by Shen Li, although she was filled with reluctance, she could only nod helplessly, her eyes full of attachment, and she said goodbye to Shen Li with a look of nostalgia: "Then... then Ah Li, you have a good rest. I will come to pick you up to enter the palace tomorrow. You must wait for me."

After saying this, he slowly turned around and left with a slightly heavy step. His departing figure seemed to reveal a sense of loneliness.

After finally seeing Nangong Qi off, Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief. When she turned around, she saw Su Ran still standing there quietly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

She was thinking about going back to her room to rest. Just as she was about to walk towards her room, she heard Su Ran's slightly worried voice behind her: "Li'er, are you really going to the palace with him tomorrow?"

Shen Li stopped walking when she heard the voice, raised her head slightly, looked at Su Ran, and said with a sense of matter-of-factness in her eyes: "Yes, since we have already agreed, and we are staying in Xiqi now, there is nothing else to do, so why not go to the palace to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Su Ran frowned, his eyes filled with melancholy. He stared at her intently and said slowly, "What if... what if you enter the palace and can't come back, what will happen? Have you ever considered this possibility? What if the Emperor of Xiqi..."

He couldn't help but think: The Xiqi Emperor Nangong Zhaolie was only in his early thirties. What would he do if he wanted to force A'li to stay with him?

Thinking of this, his voice trembled slightly, and all kinds of bad scenes emerged involuntarily in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more flustered and confused he felt, and the more scared and worried he felt, as if he had already seen with his own eyes that Shen Li was forcibly detained in the palace by the Emperor of Xiqi and could never come out again.

After all, Shen Li is not only a beauty with stunning looks, she is also the disciple of the immortal Xuanfeng Sanren who is famous in the four countries. No matter which point, it seems to be enough to make the Emperor of Xiqi greedy and want to keep Shen Li by his side at all costs.

Shen Li couldn't help but frown as she listened to Su Ran's words, and began to seriously consider the possibility he mentioned. She knew that people's hearts were unpredictable, and she couldn't rule out such unexpected situations.

As for Su Ran, the worry in his heart had grown like wild weeds and could not be contained at all.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He was about to go crazy. In a moment of desperation, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Li's hands tightly without saying anything. There was a hint of anxiety and panic in his eyes. He said loudly: "I think you should find a reason to postpone this matter tomorrow. The more I think about it, the more I feel that you must not go to this Xiqi Palace! Who knows what variables will happen in that palace? I really can't let you go!"

He exerted a little force with his hands, as if he wanted to make Shen Li truly feel his worry and anxiety at the moment.
