“Hey, who do you think you are, to dare to talk to my miss this way!? I’ll have Miss’s hidden guard skewer you!” Yue Lan bellowed at Wen Ruhua, “You’d better keep in mind your status. My miss isn’t someone you can afford to casually shout at!”
Wen Ruhua’s face filled with hatred, then he smiled self-mockingly. “That’s right ah, with my status, I’m naturally nothing compared to you who’s the wife of an official.”
Yue Lan looked at Wen Ruhua like he was an idiot. Could it be that he didn’t suspect her miss of lying at all? He didn’t even bother to confirm the facts before he started shouting his grievances all on his own.
There was definitely something wrong with his head, and it was quite severe too.
The hidden guard couldn’t look on any longer either and asked Ning Shu, “Miss, should we give this gentleman- I mean, your cousin, a tent?”
Before Ning Shu even opened her mouth, Wen Ruhua shouted, “No need! Bai Qinxiang, I don’t need your charity. I’ll just sleep outside.”
Ning Shu: …
How unyielding. Ning Shu thought that he would just storm off. Did he really think that sleeping outside showed backbone?
She yawned. She was done wrangling with Wen Ruhua today, so she just pulled Yue Lan into the tent. “Lights off, sleep.”
Outside, Wen Ruhua stared intensely at the tent with a complicated expression as if he wanted to tear the tent down with his eyes.
The hidden guard just glanced at Wen Ruhua before taking a rope and tying it around two trees. Then he hopped onto the rope like the little dragon maiden to sleep. However, the scene wasn’t as elegant as when the dragon maiden slept, it was just horrifying.
>Little Dragon Maiden, from the wuxia film/novel The Return of the Condor Heroes by Jin Long.
When Wen Ruhua saw that no one was paying attention to him, he leaned against a tree and just spaced out while staring at Ning Shu’s tent.
His eyes started turning red from his glower and from time to time he would grind his teeth. In the silent night, this sound was quite creepy.
However, inside the tent, Ning Shu was sleeping soundly while hugging Yue Lan. She had no idea that Wen Ruhua was pacing restlessly outside.
Well, even if she had known, she wouldn’t have cared.
However, Wen Ruhua cared a lot. He couldn’t help but wonder what had happened to Bai Qinxiang and why she would come look for him. What did she view him as? Did she think that she could discard him and pick him up whenever she wanted?
But why was his heart so disturbed? Why was he still affected by this heartless greedy woman?
Wen Ruhua paced around outside the tent for an entire night like this. When, in the morning, he saw Ning Shu come out and stretch leisurely, the anger that he had stifled the entire night immediately erupted. However, when he saw Ning Shu’s eyes, which was the only part not concealed by her veil, he froze in stunned amazement.
