A large group of people happily finished their meals and went out after checking out. The women were about to step on the stool to get into the carriage, but then one person exclaimed: “Miss Bai?”
Bai Zhi turned her head and saw a noble young man approaching her and looked intently: Isn’t this Xianer’s elder brother, Ke Xicheng?
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Young Master Ke, what a coincidence!”
Ke Xicheng stepped forward with a surprised look in the face: “It’s really you. I thought I was dreaming. Why didn’t you visit Xian’er when now you’re here in the capital? Xian’er is worried sick about you.”
Bai Zhi asked hurriedly: “Is she sick?”
Ke Xicheng shook his head: “She is lovesick. She couldn’t eat all day long or sleep well. She keeps talking about you. But now that you’re in the capital, that’s great.”
Bai Zhi heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: “We just arrived here a few days ago. I originally planned to take Ru’er to play with Xian’er after we settled down.”
Ke Xicheng asked again: “Does Meng Gongzi know that you’re here in the capital?”
Hu Feng’s face turned black immediately. He coughed and said solemnly: “It’s time to go back!”
Only then did Ke Xicheng realize that a man was standing next to Bai Zhi. He looked at him and saw that he dressed in a magnificent robe, but he didn’t know which family he came from, so he asked: “This is?”
Zhou Gang smiled and said: “This is his highness, Prince Jin.”
Ke Xicheng was taken aback, Prince Jin? He immediately remembered what his father said the other day. He said that Prince Jin would return to the capital in the next few days and would take him to visit Prince Jin’s Mansion. He didn’t expect that he would meet him on this street before he could visit him.
Ke Xicheng hurriedly paid respect: “Ke Xicheng greets his highness, Prince Jin.”
Hu Feng waved his hand: “You don’t need to be polite. We still have something to do. You can go now.”
How can Ke Xicheng dare to follow? He immediately retreated far away, until Prince Jin and the others disappeared without a trace. He scratched his head and said to himself: “How did Miss Bai know Prince Jin? How come the two of them be together? And also that carriage, it’s engraved with Dongfang Family’s symbol. What is her relationship with the Dongfang Family?” He tried hard to think of an answer, but he couldn’t think of any. In the end, he decided not to eat outside, and just hurried back to their house.

On the carriage back to Dongfang Family’s Mansion, Hu Feng squeezed himself into Bai Zhi’s carriage. Zhao Lan looked at Hu Feng, who was sitting in the carriage stupidly, and said with a smile: “Should I go to Sister Wan’s carriage?”
Bai Zhi grabbed her hand and said: “We’re already here. Why still change the carriage?”
Zhao Lan took a glance at Hu Feng and said with a smile: “I can see Hu Feng has something to say to you.”
Bai Zhi also took a glance at Hu Feng. Her heart beats so fast: “If you have something to say, just say it. If something bad happened to you by holding it, I will not cure you.”
Hu Feng took a glance at Zhao Lan awkwardly. Then, he coughed twice and said: “Master told me that you have suffered a lot along the way. Do you blame me?”
Bai Zhi looked at him amusedly: “Although we ate many hardships, why should I blame you?”
Hu Feng said: “As the General-in-charge, I didn’t even know that the enemy forces sneaked in our country. As your future husband, I didn’t show up on time when you need me. It’s my fault that you have suffered so much.”
Bai Zhi’s cheeks blushed: “It is indeed your fault. And I helped you kill all those bad guys and solved this worry. You should thank me!”
Hu Feng laughed and asked: “I really should thank you. Speak, how do you want me to thank you?”
Bai Zhi tilted her head and thought for a while. But she couldn’t think of something, and so she simply said: “In this case, you promised to help me with something. But I haven’t thought what I want, so you wait until I think of something.”
