Chapter 20: An eccentric divine doctor isn't reliable
"Daddy, what did you say?" Chu Qing-Yan handed over the Tanghulu she just purchased from a seller, soon after, she recalled the words Daddy seemed to have said. She couldn't help but to ask, with her head slanted towards Daddy.
A pity that now, in Daddy's eyes, there was only this Tanghulu. Where would he have the mind to pay attention to what she was asking. No, in Daddy's eyes, there was still Mother, as a matter of fact, Daddy was already joyously running to find Mother.
Chu Qing-Yan shook her head and burst out laughing somewhat helplessly. Just now, she suddenly thought of those several people they had encountered on the street, so she couldn't help but to turn around and look. Unfortunately, the crowd was bustling with activity, so she didn't see that man who was extraordinary from head to toe again.
Just when Chu Qing-Yan turned around to continue walking forward, that person dressed in luxurious black clothing stood under a huge tree, his clear and cold gaze looking in her direction. The breeze lightly brushed past, lifting up the corner of his black clothing. On the side of his face, a silver l.u.s.ter shined faintly under the sunlight.
"Your Highness, that little young lady is Chu family's little Miss." A subordinate looked in the direction his family master's gaze was watching, and immediately reported.
"Uh-huh." Xiao Xu faintly responded, even without the reminder from his subordinate, he had already recognized her. That girl who had rescued him once in Mao Village now, through a freak combination of factors, had become his partner in this bestowed marriage. She wasn't really tall and didn't even reach his chest, still possessing the innocence of childhood. When she smiled, two little canine teeth would be exposed, with two shallow dimples.
Don't blame Xiao Xu for looking at her every detail. Whether it was being rescued in Mao Village or maybe that chance encounter in Chu family, he had never seen this girl in the daylight. He was still somewhat curious with regards to this courageous, insightful, witty and prudent little girl.
However, it was only curiosity, his heart wasn't set on Chu Qing-Yan. Based on his thinking, Chu Qing-Yan would very quickly leave his line of sight. Because, when all's said and done, she would run away from Chu family and escape this marriage.
"Master, it seems that Chu family's surveillance towards this Miss has become tighter and tighter." The subordinate couldn't help but to say in surprise.
