Chapter 249: One More
"Fu Gong, are you heading out?" Zheng Nianru looked towards Zheng Haoyuan, the youth’s lips red and teeth white, brows curved, a fine smile hidden at the lifted tips of his eyes, light and playful as the wings of a bird poised for flight, gently slanting into his raven hair.
"Yes, I’m going to Yongnan Street. Are you guys going?"
Upon seeing Zheng Haoyuan, Nanny Yun wished she could slap her thighs and curse if not for the many people around. Why was this boy here? He was like a lingering ghost. Just when things had quieted down for a few days and Nanny Yun originally thought the Fourth Prince had grown up and understood the importance of maintaining a distance between men and women, and upon hearing that the Commandery Princess was engaged, he stopped coming.
"That’s unfortunate, Fourth Prince, our paths are different." Zong Yunqian spoke first, already politely rejecting the other party. Zheng Nianru and Zheng Haoyuan knew each other? Still, since Zheng Haoyuan belonged to the Wen Family, why was he so close to Zheng Nianru?
Zong Yunqian’s words were already a very polite refusal, and although he was not in Zheng Capital, he knew a little about Zheng Haoyuan; he had an overbearing personality.
"Then where are you going? If I go with you, it will be on the way, won’t it?" Zheng Haoyuan didn’t seem embarrassed at all, looking at Zheng Nianru with pity, as if he dared not speak too loudly.
Zheng Haoyuan certainly had not quieted down. In these past few days, he had become very friendly with The Savage. Zheng Haoyuan even discovered that The Savage seemed to understand some of his simple words. He was just delighted at the thought of sharing this good news with Zheng Nianru when he heard about her engagement.
Zong Yunqian hadn’t expected Zheng Haoyuan to say that but also realized that the Fourth Prince was likely waiting here on purpose.
Nanny Yun took a deep breath, wanting to let it out but afraid she couldn’t hold back her temper and would do something that would embarrass her own Commandery Princess. She forcefully held it in until her face turned red and her fingers turned white.
