Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 43

"What do you want to eat, Hua'er?" Nan Luo asked in nonchalant tone as if what had happened before was nothing.

"Anything is fine."

Nan Hua was not picky about food. She didn't usually care that much about what she ate as long as it made her full. Besides, there were many times when she had to scavenge food in order to survive.

"Then, we're going to eat noodles." Nan Luo had decided. "The restaurant is still a bit away, so we're going to walk for a bit."

"Ok."

The two of them walked in neither fast nor slow pace. They were enjoying the rare walk since they were usually confined inside the residence to study. Aside from going to academy, Nan Luo himself rarely go anywhere.

Nan Hua's attention landed on the commotion in front of them. A girl who was wearing a veil was angry and berated the shopkeeper there. Looking at the name of the shop, Nan Hua seemed to remember that it belonged to Long Family.

"There are a lot of commotion nearby. Should we take detour?" Nan Luo's manservant asked in low voice.

Nan Luo furrowed his brows. "Hua'er, do you want to take detour. Such unsightly sight is not for us."

"Too late."

"Mhm?" Nan Luo's eyes narrowed.

The girl who was angry now had turned her head to look at the two children. Even though she was wearing a veil that covered half of her face, both Nan Hua and Nan Luo could recognize her as Long Xu Nian.

'Enemies meet at narrow road...' Nan Luo thought to himself and scowled internally. If only it was possible, he really didn't want to meet with this group of annoying people in front of him.

"To think that I'll see you two again outside," Long Xu Nian said in annoyed tone.

Ever since the incident from that time, she hadn't been able to attend any parties anymore. People were still talking about her and even her engagement was not going as smoothly as she wanted to.

The date was pushed back and there were even some people who said that it might be broken. In order to not create any bad rumors, Long Xu Nian was not allowed to leave the residence and had to cover her face like this. She was coming out to inspect the stores that was supposed to be her dowry.

However, the shopkeepers were making things difficult for her.
