Chapter 395 - A pleasant surprise (2)
Wen Wan's smile slightly stiffened.
Ning Yuxuan quietly said, ”Dad will bring teacher along the next I come, okay?”
Haohao obediently nodded. ”En.” Then, with his little hand around Ning Yuxuan's neck, he vigorously cuddled him.
From the position of the sun in the sky, it was about that time. A young eunuch came running over and whispered something into Ning Yuxuan's ear. Ning Yuxuan nodded and said to Wen Wan, ”Go to the western entrance and tell my cousin it's time for him to go over there and surprise the junzhu.”
Wen Wan nodded and somewhat stiffly headed towards the outer part of the palace. She was someone that had lost her memories, so this was technically her first time coming to the palace. If she happened to get lost, it wouldn't be her fault, right?
Smiling, the young eunuch caught up to Wen Wan to lead the way for her, ”This way, please.”
Wen Wan wasn't able to smile in response.

Ning Mingjie had gone shopping again and picked out a new gift. He was holding the wrapped up gift in his hand. After Yuxuan had said all those words to him to persuade him, he finally came round. Kangyuan Junzhu was a good woman. He had been too distant with her this entire time. It wouldn't be wrong to treat her a bit better by giving her a nice surprise.
The eunuch led Wen Wan to a spot near the western entrance. There was no way that Wen Wan could pretend to get lost. She could only go forward and salute Ning Mingjie. ”Young Master, my lord said it's time.”
Ning Mingjie nodded when he saw that it was her. ”Oh, that's good. I can bring you with me. I was just saying yesterday that you should meet Kangyuan. You might remember some old memories if you see her.”
Wen Wan shook her head. ”No, that's not a good idea. It would be too much of an imposition...”
”It's okay,” Ning Mingjie said, ”Come with me. We're not far Zichen Hall.”
Wen Wan could only brace herself and follow him.

Inside Zichen Hall,
It was true that Zhao Li had prepared a banquet for Kangyuan, but Pengyue had said she wasn't feeling well and didn't want to attend. Thus, it was only Zhao Li and Kangyuan inside the hall.
Kangyuan had drunk a lot of wine, and her gaze had become a bit blurry. She looked at him with a besotted gaze and said, ”Your Majesty, did you know that I wasn't happy at all when you bestowed that marriage?”
Zhao Li raised his eyebrows. ”Is General Ning not treating you well?”
Kangyuan wryly smiled. ”That person, he looks so warm, and he treats people well. But, if his heart isn't with you, no matter what, it still feels cold. We haven't shared a bed since our wedding night.”
