Chapter 272: You Should Take This Kind Of Thing Seriously
Ten minutes after they got off the merchant boat, Ying Yi came to Xiao Shao and the others who were waiting in a teahouse at the port. Ying Yi cupped his fists and said, "Master, everything is ready."
Listening to Ying Yi’s report, Xiao Shao nodded. "Mhm."
Then he looked at the other four people and said, "We should leave now. There is still a long way to go to the mountains."
After paying for the refreshments, Ying Yi led them to the place where other hidden guards were waiting with their horses and carriages. Xu Xiang, Huan Yun, and the still injured Mu Yucheng got into the carriage, while Hu Wenfeng rode with Xiao Shao and the hidden guards.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Xiao Shao said, "Let’s go."
Following his order, they headed for the snow-capped mountain ridge of Qin Kingdom. Inside the horse carriage, Xu Xiang took out soft blankets, pillows, tea sets and snacks from her space. She put the pillow behind Mu Yucheng, and then arranged the snacks and brewed a pot of tea for him.
While chewing melon seeds, Huan Yun watched Xu Xiang busy tidying up the spacious carriage, and making sure Mu Yucheng could sit comfortably.
After watching for a few minutes, Huan Yun couldn’t resist the urge to say, "Xu Xiang, you have asked him if he is comfortable or not four times in just a few minutes. Why do I feel that you are treating Mu Yucheng more and more like those dedicated wives treating their beloved husbands?"
Hearing her words, Xu Xiang ignored Huan Yun. She covered Mu Yucheng’s legs with a soft blanket, looked up at him, and asked, "Do you want to eat something? I have prepared your favorite snacks and cream puffs."
Ignored by Xu Xiang, Huan Yun put the remaining melon seeds back on the plate on the low table, wiped her hands, and said, "Yes, please. I’m hungry."
Xu Xiang glanced at Huan Yun and said, "I didn’t ask you."
Huan Yun heard Xu Xiang’s words, sighed sadly, and exaggeratedly said, "I’m so pitiful. After losing a lot of weight in the past few weeks, my friend cares more about her boyfriend than she cares for me. What is the use of me living in this world? I should die of seasickness and leave this cold and cruel world."
