The Little Childhood Friend in a Female-Dominated World (ChatGPT Translated)

Jealous

Li Shi quickly twisted her body to the side, causing the honeyed embrace to fall empty. She gave a signal to Lu Feng, indicating for her to go to Xu Mu.

It had been a year since they last saw each other. Xu Mu, who was already beautiful, now appeared even more dazzling. His small face, the size of a palm, was buried in the fur collar, revealing a pair of peach blossom eyes with a hint of charm.

In this past year, he had become noticeably thinner, but his figure appeared even more slender and delicate.

Faced with the person she had missed day and night, Lu Feng's heart was filled with excitement, causing her fingertips to curl involuntarily. But when she actually saw him standing there in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of shyness. Taking three or four steps forward, she stopped half a step away from him. With a voice filled with deep longing, she called out, "Mi Jian."

Xu Mu casually lifted his eyelids and glanced at her. Seeing that Lu Feng appeared unharmed, the worry that had been weighing on his heart finally dissipated.

He made a nonchalant sound of acknowledgment, lacking warmth.

Xu Mu's cold demeanor made Lu Feng feel uneasy. She carefully reflected on whether she had done something wrong recently or if she had written something in the letter that had upset him.

How could it be that after a year of being away on a military campaign, the affectionate and clingy Mi Jian suddenly didn't even hug her?

Lu Feng had thought that when she stood still, she would be greeted with a warm embrace from Xu Mu, just like a bird returning to its nest. Who would have expected the current situation?

She cautiously glanced at Xu Mu's displeased expression and quickly discovered the reason.

Originally, she should have been directly sent back to the Rongyuan Manor by Mu Tou. However, the carriage that had been passing by the entrance of the Lu Mansion not only stopped, but Rong Rong inside the carriage also opened the curtain and came down.

Rong Rong's reason was simple. Lu Feng had saved his life, and now that they had arrived at the entrance of the Lu Mansion, if he didn't come down to greet her, others would say he lacked manners.

He insisted on stopping, and the little attendant who was serving him by the carriage was also of the same mind.

The little attendant stopped Mu Tou, opened the curtain, and helped Rong Rong down.

The handsome young master had a refined appearance. Although he was not as stunning as Xu Mu, nor as cold and proud as An Qingle, he had a charming and lovely appearance. His figure was slender and graceful, exuding a gentle and dependent aura.

A typical southern young master, he was most adept at evoking sympathy from women.

While Xu Mu calmly observed Rong Rong, little did he know that the other person had also taken a good look at him.

Xu Mu's appearance, not to mention being ranked first in the capital, even Rong Rong in the south had never seen eyes as enchanting as his.

Coming down from the carriage, Rong Rong smiled gently, with a hint of shyness on her face. After being covered with a cloak by a young servant, she glanced at Lu Feng as if seeking her opinion, then walked over and greeted Ji Shi and Li Shi.

Lu Feng was already a little impatient when she saw him get off the carriage, and said, "You don't need to thank me, let alone bow. It was Mu Tou who saved you, not my command. Just thank her."

With one sentence, it shattered the coyness and deliberate ambiguity between Rong Rong and Lu Feng. Rong Rong didn't know whether to stand up or not, her lips pursed, her face pale, and her eyes full of grievances.
