Chapter: 067 out of 513 – This brainless woman (2)

Without noticing, his feet had led him to Feiwan Courtyard. Nie Sangyu was currently pruning the plum tree in her courtyard. Her sleeves were tied up and her hair was loosely tied behind her back instead of being arranged into an elaborate hairstyle. She looked gentle and soft.

In the past, Nie Sangyu was the person that he disliked to see the most. But now, the more he looked at her, the more he found her pleasing to look at. Ning Yuxuan couldn’t help silently cursing himself. How could he think of Feiwan Courtyard as a place that would put his mind at ease?

Ji Man’s back was facing the entrance, so she didn’t see Marquis Moyu. But, Muxu, who was standing nearby, saw him. However, this young girl had spent a lot of time with Ji Man and had become much smarter. She immediately left without making a sound.

“Muxu, where’s my handkerchief?” Ji Man’s hands had been stained by dirt. She was in a very good mood as she looked at the plum tree she had just finished pruning.

There was someone standing near her. The person wordlessly took out a handkerchief, grabbed her hand, and wiped her hand clean bit by bit.

Finding something off about the situation, Ji Man turned her head and saw Ning Yuxuan’s gentle eyes.

Her

hand instinctively pulled away from his.

Ning Yuxuan didn’t get angry. He only looked at her as he asked, “Why are you in such a leisurely mood today?”

Ji Man awkwardly laughed and said, “Winter has arrived and the courtyard is feeling bleak, so this servant has been tr.i.m.m.i.n.g this plum tree. This way, this servant will feel happier seeing this tree from inside my room.”

Ning Yuxuan looked at the plum tree in front of them and his eyes were rather disdainful as he said, “You’ll feel happy looking at this mess of a tree?”

The way she had trimmed it look way too ugly.

Ji Man was grinding her teeth as she forced herself to smile. Then, how else should she prune it? Was he expecting her to prune it into the shape of h.e.l.lo Kitty? She had already cut down all of the branches that looked ugly!

“Hand that over to me.” He stretched his hand out. His slender fingers were simply perfection.

Ji Man gulped and handed over the slightly dirty shears.

Ning Yuxuan took the shears and looked at the plum tree for a few moments, then he stretched his hands out and swiftly started to cut away the superfluous branches and twigs. He left behind the trunk and small,

small, nicely shaped branches. Compared to the lush growth from before, the plum tree finally had the feeling of winter’s bleakness.

Ji Man felt that Marquis Moyu’s standard of beauty was slightly strange, but she didn’t have courage to say this thought out loud. She could only agreeably say, “Ah, it looks much better.”

Ning Yuxuan dropped the shears to the side, took the handkerchief from her hand, and wiped his hands. Then, he was silent for a moment before he said, “I’ll be sleeping here tonight.”

A glance was enough to tell that Ji Man that he was feeling troubled again. Ji Man was already used to this. Every time this person was feeling troubled or had an argument with Wen Wan, he would always come to her place.
