Chapter 273 - The sky is filled with little stars (2)

Wen Wan naturally didn't have the face to come over and ask Nie Sangyu to change her status.

And so, Ji Man pretended that she hadn't heard anything about this matter. When night arrived, she went to the western courtyard according to the time that Marquis Moyu had set.

When she heard this afternoon that Ning Yuxuan had been ordering the servants to move things around, Ji Man didn't inquire further about it. Shouldn't men be allowed to have their little secrets?

But, she did find it strange that when she arrived in the western courtyard, Ning Yuxuan pointed a spot for her to sit down and told her to not move. Then, he crouched down in the outside courtyard, took out various sky lanterns from a bamboo chest, and started fiddling with them.

What was he doing?

Ji Man was stunned. She really wanted to open her mouth and ask questions. But, seeing how serious he looked, it felt awkward for her to speak.

One by one, Ning Yuxuan fixed all of the broken sky lanterns that he had taken out from the bamboo chest over the span of two hours. His feet were probably frozen from crouching down in the snow for so long, but he hadn't said a single word.

Based on the principle that if the other person wasn't making a move, then she wouldn't either, Ji Man hadn't asked a single question either. She watched him fix all of the sky lanterns. Then, he ordered Guibai to light up the lanterns for him. One by one, the lanterns were released in the sky.

Ji Man propped up her chin in her hand as she watched. The sky was overcast tonight, and the moon's light couldn't be seen. Once the sky lanterns were released, it attracted many people's attention. The lanterns looked like little stars in the sky. It was quite the spectacular sight.

Ning Yuxuan walked over and asked, ”Does it look pretty?”

Ji Man nodded. She could finally ask, ”My lord, were you thinking that Sangyu is tired from managing household affairs, so you invited Sangyu here to look at the sky lanterns.”

The corners of Ning Yuxuan's lips twitched. He seemed to be emphasizing a certain point when he said, ”I fixed them.”

So? Did he want her to congratulate him with a large bouquet of red flower? Ji Man felt somewhat confused. Looking at his slightly sparkling eyes, she went along with it and cheered him by clapping her hands. ”Wow, you're so amazing!”

Marquis Moyu's expression slightly sunk. His gaze even looked slightly angry as he looked at her.

Ji Man blinked. Did he not like it when people flattered him? Then, he should have said that earlier, ah. But, did he not having anything better to do? Why had he fixed so many sky lanterns until late evening?

”My lord.” Wen Wan's voice came from the courtyard's entrance. Ji Man froze for a moment before she subconsciously jumped into the room behind them.

By the time she was thinking clearly again, she felt there was something strange about her impulse. Why did she need to hide?

Wen Wan had come over here because she saw the sky lanterns. With her thin dress and fluttering cloak, she looked like a b.u.t.terfly when she rushed to Ning Yuxuan's side.

Because of the darkness of the night, she hadn't seen that Nie Sangyu was also here.
