The afternoon sun was exceptionally bright, shining on the golden leaves and making them sparkle, which put everyone in a bright mood.
Yun Ran reached out to grab them but inadvertently caught sight of a bracelet on her wrist.
A bracelet that was very beautiful yet somewhat peculiar.
Yun Ran stared at the bracelet...
It must have been Nangong Mo who slipped it on her wrist while she was asleep, along with those golden leaves... Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novｅlfire.net
"Is he suddenly feeling guilty, or is he plotting something again? Could there be some kind of scheme?"
Before Yun Ran could finish her sentence, she heard a man’s cold snort from behind, "Is that how poorly you think of me in your heart?"
[With how treacherous, cunning, black-hearted, and shameless you are, don’t you have any self-awareness?]
"Oh, no, never, my lord! I was just trying to say that this bracelet and those golden leaves are really beautiful! My lord, you truly have an eye for beauty!"
"But, what made you suddenly decide to give these to me?"
[The sneaky man never leaves a leaf of grass when it comes to swindling her silver! Suddenly acting ... there must be some mischief!]
[Speaking of which, could it be that he has done something guilty behind the scenes?]
Nangong Mo lightly coughed to conceal his guilt, "Seeing you cry so pitifully last night, with tears and snot everywhere, I felt sorry for you, so I gave them to you."
[How can he spread such false rumors to ruin someone’s image?!]
"Stop talking nonsense, when did I cry?"
[Forget it! For the sake of the golden leaves, I’ll spare your dog life for now!]
Just then, Ying Yue came in from outside, holding a letter of invitation.
"Princess Consort, this is a letter of invitation sent by Miss Shen Weixi from General Shen’s residence."
Lin Wanyue’s only friend.
One of the few people who were good to her.
Yun Ran quickly reached out to take it.
Shen Weixi invited her to meet at the Yanyu Building, and the time was this afternoon.
As per tradition, invitations are usually delivered two days in advance, so Shen Weixi must have had something urgent to see her about.
Yun Ran turned to look at Nangong Mo, reaching out with both hands to tug gently at his sleeve, "My lord, I need to go out for a bit later."
Nangong Mo’s gaze slowly traveled from the girl’s fair little hand up to her face, raising an eyebrow, "What? You want me... to accompany you?"
[Tch~ Who wants to play with you? Dream on!]
Yun Ran rolled her eyes at him, despising his narcissism, "Aren’t you still planning to attend lessons later? Can I take a leave of absence?"
This dead girl actually didn’t want to take him with her?!
The man’s expression was indifferent, showing no room for negotiation.
Yun Ran: "How heartless!"
Ying Yue covered her mouth and chuckled to the side, "Princess Consort, the lord had already sent a message there early this morning, you won’t need to attend lessons today."
Yun Ran blinked, early this morning... Doesn’t that mean when she was still sleeping?
"Last night, an assassin disturbed the household, disturbing the Princess Consort’s sleep, therefore, the lord said lessons would be canceled for the day."
The man, who had been silent all along, coldly spat out two words.
"I recognize my mistake! I will go out and reflect immediately!"
Ying Yue finished speaking and quickly slipped away.
Yun Ran smiled sweetly at Nangong Mo, "My lord~ You’re really nice~"
[He’s truly a man who says one thing and means another!]
"Oh? In what way am I nice?"
"Since I am so nice, why don’t you ask me to go with you?"
[Praise him a couple times and he gets carried away... Ask you? Ask your dog head!]
After Yun Ran arrived at the Yanyu Building, she pushed open the door of the private room, but a man walked out instead.
