"You don't have to wait for me, Brother Long."
Nan Hua didn't know how long Long Qian Xing had been here, but she could guess that it must be more than an hour. The snow and the color of his skin told her everything that she needed to know.
For some reason, she didn't want to see him wait for her in cold Winter like this.
Long Qian Xing chuckled. "Let me escort you back."
He didn't answer her question at all.
Even though Nan Hua didn't know why he didn't want to answer, she didn't pursue him. She didn't disagree and let him lead her back to Feng Family Residence. As if knowing that she was going out in secret, Long Qian Xing didn't lead her to the main entrance and instead to the side entrance that was usually deserted.
"Hua'er."
"Mhm?" Nan Hua looked up.
Long Qian Xing smiled. "Today is New Year. My family is at the Capital City, so I would like to ask you whether I can join your family dinner."
Join her family dinner?
Nan Hua didn't mind. Her mind recalled that he had already done that in the past with his grandmother coming along.
"Sure."
"I'll come later, then. Go inside and don't get cold."
"Mhm."
Nan Hua tugged the coat around her, but Long Qian Xing stopped her movement. "Wear it. You can return it later."
Before Nan Hua could answer, Long Qian Xing had left. Looking at the way he walked, Nan Hua was wondering if he was worried that she would force him to take the coat back with him. She looked at the oversized coat and chose to keep on using it as she entered the residence.
It was not cold for her, but she kept on wearing the coat.
Xiao Yun was stumped when she saw her Miss coming with a male coat around her. "Miss, this coat…."
"It's from Brother Long." Nan Hua tugged it off. She contemplated for a brief moment. "Wash it then give it back to me so that I can return it to Brother Long."
"Yes, Miss!" Xiao Yun felt that she had received a very important task as she looked at the coat in her hand. She had to make sure that no other servants found out about this because this would be detrimental for Nan Hua's reputation. Even if it was from her fiancée, getting too close before their actual marriage was still a big no in this era because it was loathed upon.
The rules were incredibly strict.
Not to mention, since Long Qian Xing was Nan Hua's fiancé, Xiao Yun vowed to make sure that her Miss's image in front of that gentleman to be always good. She had to make sure that everything was perfect.
Feng Qian Shao took a deep breath of relief when he saw Old Master Nan no longer glaring daggers at him. He was already worried that Old Master Nan wanted to scold him for another day. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
