Chapter 293: Chapter 171 Miaomiao, I Like You! (Sweet Chapter)_2

"I’ll be waiting for you at home."

Jiang Shouzhong gently brushed off the specks of dust on the young girl’s shoulder.

For some reason, the man’s casual words inadvertently struck deep into the girl’s heart. Like a spring rain that nourishes silently, they were etched into her heart.

It was as if a husband was bidding his traveling wife to take care.

That one day, when she returns home weary, there would always be someone steadfastly waiting for her at the doorstep.

Yelü Miaomiao lowered her head, feeling a stinging sensation in her eyes, and grumbled softly, "You really have thick skin."

The two of them found an inn to stay in.

Whether it was good luck or bad, as they were going upstairs, they happened to run into Jin Ao and Long, who were also there to stay.

It was an awkward moment of big eyes staring at small eyes.

Jin Ao said with a strange look, "I say, Jiang Shouzhong, weren’t you going to Bingzhou?"

Jiang Shouzhong chuckled, "I just so happen to have a relative who does business here, so I came to see. By the way, weren’t you heading to Tongzhou? How come you ended up in Fengcheng?"

Jin Ao laughed dryly, "Coincidentally, I also have a relative here, was looking for him for some matter."

"I see, what a coincidence."

"Yeah, yeah, I really have fate with Brother Jiang."

"Haha..."

The two exchanged a few polite words, checked into their rooms, and each returned to their own.

Once inside his room, Jiang Shouzhong’s face grew solemn and he murmured, "Is this guy following me?"

But then he thought that if someone were following him, Mengniang, who was right beside him, would surely notice and warn him.

It could only be a coincidence.

...

On the other side, after Jin Ao entered his room, he scratched his head and frowned, "Could that boy be following me?"

Long said softly, "It’s just a coincidence."

Jin Ao grinned and laughed, "Then that means we are fated. Having fate with me is having fate with our Sect Master. Indeed, they are fated to be married. Not bad, not bad, now I, Old Jin, have even more confidence."

Jin Ao said, "Long, you wait at the inn for me. I’ll go find a smuggler to get a pass document and, incidentally, look for a trade caravan. We’ll set off early tomorrow morning, it’s safer to follow the caravan."

"Mhm."

The woman nodded her head.

...

After a long and arduous journey, covered in dust and dirt, Jiang Shouzhong and Yelü Miaomiao finally got to rest.

They bathed and changed, washing away all fatigue and grime.

Jiang Shouzhong put on a clean linen robe, looking calm and composed, while Yelü Miaomiao donned a freshly made green silk dress that further highlighted her elegant and captivating charm.

After eating something simple, Yelü Miaomiao sweetly pleaded with Jiang Shouzhong to accompany her for a stroll through the street market.

Her joy was like that of a fledgling waiting to be fed, endearing and charming.

A girl about to part always wants to create more memories, wanting to spend a little more time lingering with the person she likes.

At this moment, she no longer cared for reserve.

After all, having been raised on the plains, she was uniquely passionate once she opened her heart.

And Jiang Shouzhong no longer sought to keep the girl overly cautious, indulging her as she wished.

Stepping onto the bustling streets, Yelü Miaomiao became a jubilant little bird weaving through the crowd. She would stop to admire exquisite embroidery here, salivate over street snacks there, and then tug Jiang Shouzhong into a teahouse to listen to a storyteller...

Finding the stories not as interesting as the ones Jiang Shouzhong told, she then pulled him to watch street performers.

Walking along, they paused frequently to appreciate all manner of curious wonders, tasting local specialties and even occasionally joining in the performances of street artists.

Jiang Shouzhong was always by her side, indulging her child-like innocence and cheer.

At this moment, it seemed as though all the turmoil of the outside world was left far behind, leaving only the warmth of their shared moments.

Only when night fell did the tired pair return to the inn.

Jiang Shouzhong had bought a lot of things – a pile of big and small packages including exquisite trinkets, cosmetics, jewelry favored by young girls on the street, and a fine Yanrong dress that he had chanced upon.

Back at the inn, a sweaty Yelü Miaomiao couldn’t wait to head back to her room to bathe.

She also took with her that set of clothes that Jiang Shouzhong had bought.

Jiang Shouzhong simply washed up in the room, pondering when that woman would bring Er Liang to find him.

During the time he spent with Yelü Miaomiao, he also considered what that woman’s purpose was in seeking him out. Eventually, Jiang Shouzhong remembered the mission letter Ge Yulong, the director, had given him upon his departure from the capital.

Jiang Shouzhong speculated that the mission letter might not be arranged by the Liushan Division, but rather by the Empress herself.

After all, Ge Yulong had made it clear from the beginning that the Empress had something to discuss with him.

Only to have it disrupted by Jiang Yi.

If this letter truly was a mission given to him by the Empress, then this golden-clothed woman was very likely one of the Empress’s people.

Of course, Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t directly suspect the Empress.

Who could have imagined that an Empress of a nation was a peerless master capable of flying through the skies?

And at that time, inside the cave, although Luo Wanqing revealed her relationship with her father when she was killing Luo Mingtang, their voices were blocked by Luo Wanqing — as the Empress, chasing down her old man for thousands of miles is something to be kept low profile if possible.

It would not look good for the royal family to make a big fuss, even though she might not care, the dignity of her position remains.

"Knock knock knock..."

The knocking on the door interrupted Jiang Shouzhong’s thoughts.

Before he could get up to open the door, it was already pushed open and a charming figure rushed into the room — it was Yelü Miaomiao.

Jiang Shouzhong was stunned in place.

His gaze was fixed on the girl, and for a moment, he was somewhat spellbound.

The girl was wearing the Yanrong dress he had carefully chosen. Its unique design fit her exquisite curves perfectly, showcasing her graceful figure with a blend of bold elegance and playful charm.
