Chapter 476 Matters of Great Importance
"Thinking of taking a walk in the garden—eh, Eldest Miss, is that you?" Lin Wanrong looked up and saw Xiao Yuruo standing quietly in front of him. She was dressed in a goose-yellow gown, her slender waist reminiscent of young willows in early spring. Her curvaceous figure traced an enchanting curve.
Eldest Miss Xiao looked gently at him, her willow-like eyebrows slightly arched, radiantly beautiful. Her long eyelashes flickered slightly, and her bright red lips were as inviting as newly-ripened cherries. A subtle touch of rouge gave her face a faint pink glow, as radiant as peach blossoms in March. Her clear, distinctly black-and-white eyes seemed as pure as a lake in autumn, free from any blemish.
"Why can't it be me?" Xiao Yuruo let out a soft sigh, sat down beside him on the edge of the bed, and tightly grasped his hand. "Does it still hurt?"
Lin Wanrong grinned, "I was a bit sore, but now that I've seen you, I feel all better. If you could bless me with a sweet kiss, I would recover even faster."
In the past, joking with Eldest Miss would invite a coy scolding from her, but today was different. Xiao Yuruo stared at him blankly before her tears began to flow. "You're such a shameless scoundrel. You're already injured, yet you still harbor mischievous thoughts. While you’re feeling all right, you've scared the wits out of others!"
She lifted her sleeve to wipe away her tears, but they only fell faster. As if recalling some sad affair, she gave a soft sob and covered her cheeks, crying.
"Eldest Miss, please don't cry," Lin Wanrong, noticing her ceaseless tears, hurriedly took her hand and said, "I'm the one who's injured, I'm the one in pain, yet I'm not crying. Why are you shedding tears instead?"
Having spent the most time with Xiao Yuruo and endured most of her caprices, Lin Wanrong's feelings for her were quite special. From Jinling to the capital, they had experienced many misunderstandings and separations, yet his memories of her were vivid. He loved her strong-willed nature and was captivated by her gentle demeanor.
