Chapter 128 - 126. Chang An I (1/2)
Third person POV
After 4 days of travelling, they finally caught up to Hong er's entourage not far away from the capital. Hong er and Huayun jumped onto Meiyun as soon as they saw her. Meiyun stumbled backwards by the sudden weight, fortunately Di Shang managed to catch her. He smiled gently at her and helped her get her balance back. Meiyun nodded her head in thanks which made Di Shang smiled wider.
Hong er: ” Aiya, it is General Di.”
Di Shang: ” Nice to meet you here, Miss Xu.”
Hong er: ” Me too, it is nice to meet you here General Di. On what occasion you come to Chang An?” (A/N: Chang An= Da Qi's capital.)
Di Shang: ” Nothing important, just sending Meiyun off.”
Di Shang patted Meiyun's head and smiled at her. Meiyun lowered her head in embarrassment, Hong er and Huayun saw her red ears and grinned mischievously.
Hong er: ” Hoo~ Oh, please let me treat you a dinner as thanks for saving Meiyun.”
Di Shang: ” No-”
Hong er: ” And you can stay with Meiyun longer.”
At first he wanted to reject her offer, however, he immediately agreed at the thought he could be with Meiyun a bit longer.
Di Shang: ” Then I have to bother Miss Xu for this.”
Hong er: ” It's fine~ It's fine~”
Hong er and Huayun released Meiyun from their clutch and touched all over her body to check if there's any injury.
Huayun: ” It is good that you are fine.”
Meiyun: ” Uhm~ Only a scar here.”
Meiyun pointed her cut that was hidden by her mask.
Huayun: ” On your face?! How careless can you be? Oh? When did you wear a necklace?”
Meiyun: ” Oh this, this was given by Madam Di as a gift.”
Huayun glanced at Di Shang's necklace and whispered to Meiyun.
Huayun: ” Yours and General Di's necklaces are matching, it feels like you are a couple.”
Meiyun: ” What are you saying?!”
Meiyun whisper screamed with her face flushed red. Huayun sighed and patted Meiyun's shoulder.
Huayun: ” I'm just happy that you found someone that you love.”
Meiyun stared at Huayun and smiled.
Meiyun: ” Thank you.”

Di Shang was looking at Meiyun all the time during dinner, he even asked the Yun sisters to sit together and join the dinner. Hong er excitedly agreed as she always eat her meal together with them when she's not in residence. They sat down and waited for their Young Miss and Di Shang to eat first. Di Shang as the oldest among them, took a piece of meat and placed it on Meiyun's plate. Meiyun blushed deeply because she could feel the look that Hong er and Huayun gave her.
She looked at Di Shang and wanted to refrain him from doing things that could make people misunderstand their relationship but the genuine smile on his lips stopped her. Furthermore, he looked very proud and happy when he saw that Meiyun accepted everything that he did to her despite the embarrassment. He stretched out his hand beneath the table and held Meiyun's hand.
