Chapter 719 - A Chance Encounter With an Acquaintance (1/2)
After standing at Lin Mengya’s door for a long while, Qinghu left slowly.
Lin Mengya, who had refreshed herself after a good night’s sleep, saw Qinghu sitting in front of her as soon as she opened her eyes.
“What time is it now?” She asked.
Although Lin Mengya repeatedly teased Qinghu about his overreacting, he could only feel a little at ease by watching over her all the time.
“The day has just dawned. Get up. It’s still early,” Qinghu said.
They had arrived on shore last night, but Qinghu instructed the boatman to stop and waited for her to wake up just because of her words.
Qinghu nodded, let down the curtain and went out to wait for her. After a long while, he heard some rustling sounds from inside.
“I’m done.” Hearing a helpless voice, Qinghu turned around, only to see that she was pulling her slightly messy hair with upset in her eyes.
“I, I can’t do my hair. Can you help me?” Lin Mengya stared at Qinghu pitifully like a child and said.
Qinghu suppressed his gloom. Probably because her fingers were no longer flexible, she was even incapable of such a simple thing.
“Okay, let me help you. Sit down.” After saying that, Qinghu settled her in front of the dressing mirror and gently combed her hair.
Soon, the woman with messy hair in the mirror had a brand new look.
Her face, as big as a palm, became delicate and charming.
With her hair done in a bun popular among young ladies nowadays decorated with only a few hairpins made of red coral, she looked vivacious with smooth skin.
“Do I look good?” She asked.
She rarely dressed like this. When she was in Prince Yu’s Mansion, she was always dressed as a noble and dignified lady.
Now she was more pleased with being dressed casually.
“Yes, you are only slightly inferior to me,” Qinghu said.
She rolled her eyes at this guy with annoyance, wondering what made him so confident.
Glancing at herself in the mirror, she slowly stood up with Qinghu’s help.
“Maybe I shall not go?” Lin Mengya said apologetically.
She, who moved with difficulty now, could fall carelessly and walked at a particularly slow speed.
If she went with Qinghu, it might delay him.
Unexpectedly, Qinghu smiled slightly, picked her up, and gently put her, who was struggling slightly, on something.
“This is…” She, who sat in a wooden wheelchair in surprise, said. She didn’t see Qinghu prepare this before, and nor did she expect that her condition would worsen so quickly.
Unexpectedly, Qinghu had prepared everything properly.
She was touched, while wickedly wondering if he had looked forward to the day, when she could not walk, long before!
She stuck out her tongue, thinking she should hide this thought. Otherwise, Qinghu would definitely think that he even suffered more serious injustice than Dou’e did!
“Let’s go! Rest assured that no one has discovered that you’ve gone. Even if it’s discovered, the news won’t spread to Yang City so soon. Even he won’t be able to figure out our route this time,” Qinghu said with a smirk.
He had always been keen on making things difficult for Long Tianyu.
Moreover, this time they were going to travel both by water and by land.
Although it would make their trip more difficult and troublesome, it would save them a great deal of time and make it difficult to track them down.
Not to mention that Long Tianyu was delayed by the affairs in the Capital City, even if he went all out to track them down, it would be a difficult job for him.
By the time Lin Mengya and Qinghu went ashore, the day had completely dawned.
Lin Mengya sat in the wheelchair, letting Qinghu push her from the dock that gradually became bustling to the street.
She took a deep breath and smelled the aroma of breakfast.
Perhaps because there were traveling merchants visiting Yang City all the time, the pedestrians only cast a few glances at them despite their ravishing appearances.
Nevertheless, it was not annoying.
“Lass, let’s go to the stall Fuji for their fried buns. Have a taste and try to find the difference between them and those made in our kitchen,” Qinghu suggested.
Knowing that Lin Mengya had no appetite, he still tried to recommend some local specialties to her.
Lin Mengya nodded. Although she was not hungry, she was attracted by the tempting fragrance in the air.
