The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 152: Let's keep a memento

At the marketplace.

If you want to go Marquis Moyu's estate from Xiangguo Temple, it would take about a day of walking. Ji Man had calculated this approximate time using a mathematical equation.

However, Ning Yuxuan was someone that rode in a carriage or a sedan chair whenever he went out. Although he knew the distance between the two places, it wouldn't have occur to him that walking such a long distance would be very tiring. And so, to her surprise, he actually agreed.

The only thing that Ji Man was grateful about was that she was wearing flat-bottomed embroidered shoes instead of heels.

Why did she have to walk this long path with him? Because based on the original novel, Marquis Moyu liked Wen Wan for her sincerity and down-to-earth personality. Nie Sangyu also had these qualities. She just rarely had a chance to display these traits to him. And, when she was given opportunities, she failed to show them in a positive light. And so, Ning Yuxuan was always biased against Nie Sangyu and thought highly of Wen Wan.

Actually, just like women, men were superficial creatures too. They like to look at attractive people. It was only when they got to the point of being comfortable with looking at your outer self that they would want understand to your inner self. Anyways, you needed opportunities to spend time with the other person for feelings to develop.

Frankly speaking, from Wen Wan's perspective, the secondary female character was truly too evil and malicious. She snatched away her man, forced her to harm her child in order to rise up in status, and used all sorts of methods to compete for Ning Yuxuan's heart. Step by step, she had taken away everything that belonged to her.

If she were in Wen Wan's place, she would also curse Nie Sangyu and say she was a rotten, shameless, little b*tch.

No one was right or wrong. It only depended on which angle you were looking from.

Rewind back to the present.

Coming out of Xiangguo Temple, Ji Man really did drag Ning Yuxuan to slowly walk with her. Guibai was following them while maintaining a small gap. Ji Man naturally wouldn't idiotically hold a stick of sugar-coated Chinese hawthorns while excitedly run back and forth on the street. She specially chose an area that had a lot of small stalls that were selling concentric knots, red strings, matching waist accessories, and what not and led Marquis Moyu there. It was an area that was selling trinkets that they could easily afford with the money they had on them.

After they had walking through several streets, the jade waist accessory and thumb ring that Ning Yuxuan had been wearing were replaced with a cheap concentric knots waist accessory and a ring made of concentric knots.

His expression was rather disapproving. "Do you really believe that if I wear these trinkets, we'll be together for a long time?"

Ji Man shook her head. "No."

Even ligation couldn't change a man's fickle heart, so how could she believe that wearing a cheap concentric ring would do better?

Playing with the concentric knots waist accessory that she was wearing, she quietly said, "They just look interesting, so I brought them for my lord to wear. My lord, if you want to throw them away, that's okay too."

Ning Yuxuan lightly snorted and continued slowly walking side-by-side with her.

The two of them walked very slowly and for a very long time too. The crowds of people gradually dwindled, and the sun slowly descended, but who knew how much further they would have to walk until they reached their destination.
