Chapter 518 - Slapped Across the Face (1/2)
The light snow that fell last night acc.u.mulated into a thin layer on the ground. Originally, it was very normal for her, with her cultivation, to leave no trace of trodding in the snow.
However, Qiao Mu purposely treaded a line of small footprints in the snow, one footprint for each step, stringing them together crookedly.
As she trodded, she mused over the matter that the senior manager came to report about earlier, oblivious to the several figures pa.s.sing by on the nearby path.
The birthday feast of the master of the Qin Estate and the VIP list—were they thinking of adding Crown Prince Mo’s name on to it?
Last night, was he the person Family Head Qin and that person with a somewhat familiar voice were conspiring against? How were they going to plot against him?
Would the crown prince really come?
He was busy with state affairs, so he probably wouldn’t go so far as to come personally to give his felicitations for a mere Qin Estate, right?
She stomped out a pair of small footprints with a hop as she ruminated: Even if he really came, she wouldn’t let anything happen to him.
The little fellow ran her fingers over her small face. Since she disguised her appearance, this current face of hers was very ordinary, unrecognizable amongst a crowd.
She was probably going to b.u.mp into many acquaintances on the day of the birthday feast, but as long as she didn’t speak, no one should be able to recognize her.
However, the amount of confidence that the little fellow exuded in her facial disguise right now would equal the degree of her stupefaction later on…
Suddenly, a light chuckle entered her ears.
When Qiao Mu turned her head, she saw an exceptionally fine young master dressed in a dark purple robe, his long, loose hair slightly disheveled, with a spot of vermillion between his brows. He was currently leaning against a snow plum tree, glimpsing at her small, purposely-crooked footsteps with smiling eyes.
“Who are you.” Qiao Mu’s face remained stoic as she asked frigidly.
