Chapter 577
It was drizzling, but Mu Mingtang didn’t care to hold an umbrella. She followed her servant’s instructions while walking, but yelled out, “Xie Xuanchen!”
Xie Xuanchen was confronting someone with a cold expression, so when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, he turned back in surprise.
“Why are you here?”
Mu Mingtang crossed the puddles on the ground, holding up her skirt and ran towards Xie Xuanchen. Since she ran too fast and couldn’t care to use the umbrella, her hair became damp from running in the rain.
Mu Mingtang ran to Xie Xuanchen, held his arm and looked at him earnestly, “Let’s go back.”
Apparently, she was harassed by a young man of power on the road a few days ago. Mu Mingtang didn’t want to cause trouble for her parents, so she held back and didn’t say anything. The people wouldn’t fight the rich and the rich wouldn’t fight the officials either. After all, their family was just a merchant family, so there was no way they could afford to offend any high ranking Young Masters.
Since it was merely done so verbally, Mu Mingtang endured it.
She later mentioned it to her servant unintentionally, but Xie Xuanchen had somehow gotten wind of it. Upon seeing that he hadn’t shown up for classes and after asking around did Mu Mingtang realise that he had gone in pursuit of the man.
