The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 947 - 531: Luming and Anqi... (First Update)
An Ning and Xiao Jinxing practiced calligraphy inside the house for an entire afternoon.
A group of children played in Qin Mengxi’s courtyard for an afternoon, having a great time.
Anqi finally managed to catch a butterfly with the help of the maid and house servant, excitedly showing it to Youyou, "Youyou, look at the butterfly I caught."
An Youyou stretched her neck to look at the butterfly inside the net, very delighted, "Wow, it’s so beautiful, I want one too."
"How about I give you this one?"
"Okay, thank you, Anqi sister." An Youyou sweetly replied.
That’s why she’s particularly likable wherever she goes.
Anqi shared her butterfly with An Youyou and then ran off to catch more butterflies.
She spotted a blue butterfly on a small red petal and approached cautiously.
The house servant and maid followed behind Anqi, not daring to make a sound.
Anqi swiftly wielded the butterfly net.
"Wow! I caught another one!" Anqi exclaimed excitedly.
She had never been this happy before.
Indeed, the arrival of her younger siblings made her feel truly happy.
An Youyou ran over with short legs, cheering, "Anqi sister, you’re amazing, you’re amazing!"
Ye Jixuan also flailed his arms nearby, "Anqi, you’re so impressive, can you give this one to me?"
Anqi hesitated for a moment, "Not this one, I want to give this to Luming first. You’re the uncle, you should let your nephew have it."
"Okay." Ye Jixuan obediently agreed.
Anqi hurriedly took the captured butterfly to An Luming in the pavilion.
"Anqi, aren’t you playing anymore?" Qin Mengxi asked, watching them play from the pavilion.
"No." Anqi shook her head.
She walked up to An Luming.
An Luming frowned slightly.
He looked up at her.
He noticed beads of sweat on Anqi’s forehead.
He didn’t like people sweating, thinking it was unclean.
Yet, Anqi’s white and rosy face strangely didn’t repel him.
Her sweaty body seemed to carry a fragrant scent.
An Luming pursed his little lips and asked in a flat tone, "Is something up?"
"I caught a butterfly for you," Anqi beamed brightly.
An Luming glanced at it.
He didn’t like such things.
He found all small animals dirty.
"I don’t want it." An Luming directly refused.
"The butterfly is beautiful, let me show it to you." Anqi insisted warmly.
She felt this brother was too aloof, worrying he’d miss out on joy.
So she cared more about Luming’s feelings compared to Youyou.
"No need." An Luming remained indifferent.
Anqi furrowed her small brows.
She gently took the butterfly from the net, holding it in her palm.
"Luming, put your hand out." Anqi called to him.
"No." An Luming was very resistant.
"Once you see it, you’ll like it..." Anqi persuaded.
An Luming simply didn’t respond.
"Luming." Anqi stubbornly put her hand in front of An Luming, suddenly blocking his book.
An Luming seemed startled.
He swiftly pushed Anqi’s hand away.
Anqi, unsteady half-squatting, was pushed to the ground by An Luming’s force.
Meanwhile, her hands instinctively let go, and the butterfly in her palm flew away.
"Aiya!" Anqi cried out.
Seeing Anqi fall, Qin Mengxi quickly approached and anxiously asked, "Anqi, what happened?"
Seeing Anqi fall, An Luming’s face also showed some tension.
He was about to help Anqi up.
Anqi had already been supported up by Qin Mengxi.
"Are you okay, did you get hurt?" Qin Mengxi asked Anqi.
"No." Anqi lightly patted her clothes.
"What happened to Anqi sister?" An Youyou now ran over with short legs, full of concern.
"It’s nothing." Anqi reassured, "I just accidentally fell."
"That’s not true, I saw brother push you." An Youyou accused An Luming.
An Luming bit his little lip, saying nothing.
"An Luming, you’re so mean, Anqi sister worked hard to catch a butterfly for you, and you pushed her away, why are you so annoying!" An Youyou stood up for Anqi.
"Youyou, don’t say that." Anqi intervened, "Luming didn’t like it, I insisted on giving it. He didn’t mean it."
"Let’s not play with brother." An Youyou wrinkled her little nose, very displeased with An Luming’s actions today.
An Luming kept biting his little lip, not speaking.
An Youyou pulled Anqi away. As she left, Anqi turned back to Luming and said, "Luming, it’s okay, I’m not hurt, and I can catch another butterfly, don’t worry."
An Luming’s little lips seemed to tighten more.
After An Youyou and Anqi left.
Qin Mengxi noticed An Luming’s suppressed little face, looking just like the emperor.
Even his sad expression was identical.
Qin Mengxi squatted down and patted An Luming’s head, comforting him.
"Grandmother, was I mean just now?" An Luming suddenly asked.
Qin Mengxi was a little surprised.
Luming didn’t like to talk much.
His personality was similar to the emperor’s.
His sudden initiation surprised her; she smiled warmly, "Refusing something you don’t like is not mean, but next time you can explain to Anqi why you don’t like it?"
An Luming nodded, silently nodding.
"Also, Anqi is a good kid, she won’t mind, don’t be upset." Qin Mengxi consoled.
"Hmm."
Qin Mengxi smiled again, saying no more.
She felt Luming was more mature than other children, and since he disliked closeness, excessive words would burden him.
By dusk.
Anqi, Youyou, and Xuanxuan were all tired from their play.
They left the back garden to play inside.
Only An Luming hadn’t left.
Naturally, many palace attendants and guards accompanied him.
An Luming stood up from the pavilion, looking at the net left behind in the garden.
He picked it up from the ground.
Then he started catching butterflies alone in the garden.
The people around An Luming were stunned.
So, Prince actually disliked being watched playing? Preferring to play alone?!
...
After dinner.
Everyone returned to their courtyards to prepare for sleep.
An Luming held a glass jar with a blue butterfly inside.
He paced outside the courtyard where Anqi and An Youyou lived.
"Your Highness, if you want to see Princess Anqi and Princess Youyou, I can inform them for you," the palace attendant serving An Luming respectfully suggested.
"No." An Luming denied.
The palace attendant smiled.
The prince was really someone who said one thing and meant another.
Clearly here to apologize but couldn’t bring himself to say it.
