[1] Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Ch 296 - 300

C296 - Dinner Together (1)

"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.

Nan Hua naturally didn't know what was inside Xiao Yun's mind or she would have been speechless.

She never asked Xiao Yun to be that hard working.

After washing up and changing her clothes, Nan Hua went to the main hall. She was dressed in pink dress with her hair tied into two buns, making her look incredibly cute. If one didn't know better, they might think that there was an exquisite doll that suddenly turn to life.

As always, Nan Luo was the first person to see Nan Hua and his eyes lit up when he saw her. "Hua'er, you look beautiful today."

"You look good too, Luo."

"Is it? I specifically pick this clothes for today." Nan Luo was proud.

At the back, Xiao Yan was keeping a straight face while wondering internally who was the one kept on fussing that he didn't care what clothes he wore. If not because Xiao Yan insistence on making Nan Luo wore that dark red clothes, Nan Luo might have truly picked a random clothes.
