Vol 4 Chapter 34.3 (2/2)

“Wu…” Feng Xian didn’t reply immediately and turned her face away. After a long while, she finally squeezed some words out, “That sort of thinking is far too outdated, Xuan De.”

(TL: But she’s too happy at being treated as a girl.)

Seems like she did say something not long after we first met as well. Could it be that she’s angry?

I walked up to her as I ate, and stole a glance at Feng Xian. She still had a smile on as she ate, so she was still happy now.

Whatever happens, it’s good as long as she’s happy.

“Eh?! Isn’t this Lord Liu Bei?!” Just then, someone from a shop nearby ran up to me.

Most people know that I have taken over Xu state but since there was no television or photography in this era, nor do I usually declare my name in normal interactions, most ordinary folk don’t actually know what I look like.

“Umm, you know who I am?” I asked as I hurriedly saluted him when I saw that he had done so.

“I do I do, I have heard about you before after all.” The shopkeeper nodded before taking a look at Feng Xian beside me, “Is Lord Liu Bei bringing his wife around?”

*Clatter*…

“W, wife!” Feng Xian’s bowl slipped down her hands and she began taking deep breaths while she was frozen stiff when she heard this word.

Was Feng Xian angry?

“Umm, I’m not married yet.” I hurriedly explained, afraid that Feng Xian would flare up at the shopkeeper, and changed the topic, “What business are you in? What does your shop sell?”

“Ah, we’re a textile shop. We just brought in some fabric from Jiangdong so business has been good lately.” He ran to the shop and brought me a sample as he said so.

Ah, so it’s something like a clothing shop then.

“Ah yes, Feng Xian, do you only have clothes like these?”

“…” She was still frozen stiff.

“Feng Xian?” I asked again.

“Un!” Feng Xian finally recovered and frantically nodded, “Ah, un.”

That’s a little too plain for a girl’s wardrobe.

“Feng Xian, I’ll buy you a set of clothes.”

“Eh?!”

A girl should have more gorgeous clothes after all.

“I, I don’t need it! I’m not fit for such clothes.”

“How can that be?” I turned back and looked at the girl who was uncharacteristically shy, “Feng Xian is really beautiful.”

“Wu!”

Feng Xian seemed to stop resisting after that was easily pulled in by me.
