Chapter 1411 - 1418 Mutual Affection (4)
"Yes!"
Xiang Yun reluctantly agreed with a sigh, just as she was about to discuss the mischievous mindset she had indulged in the girl, her eyes suddenly widened and her body stiffened as she turned her face slowly.
By the window, a handsome and refined man was dressed in a sky-blue brocade arrow-sleeved robe adorned with the pattern of green bamboo; the collar and cuffs were bordered with a silver-grey cloud pattern. He wore official boots with black edges on a white base, his waist encircled by a jade belt, his dark hair bound up high and a white jade hairpin fastened within, exuding an imposing aura of nobility—it was none other than the person they had just been talking about.
"You, you, you..." Xiang Yun, as if she had seen a ghost, pointed a trembling finger at him, her tongue tied in knots.
"What’s wrong with me?"
Wanyan Jingchen had originally wanted to imitate her stuttering with ’I, I, I, I came to see you,’ but fearing she might get annoyed, he dispensed with the idea of teasing her and answered her with a pleasant smile before sitting down on a rattan chair beside the table.
Xiang Yun became anxious, her face flushed as she whispered, "How can you barge in during the middle of the night like this? If word gets out, what will become of my reputation?" After she finished speaking, she added dejectedly, "Ah, my reputation isn’t much to speak of anyway!"
Wanyan Jingchen smiled warmly and said, "If you’re unwilling for me to come at night, I can come to see you during the day tomorrow instead."
"Ah, no, no, no—"
Xiang Yun waved her hands repeatedly, "Absolutely don’t come, there are too many eyes and ears in the mansion; if they start spreading baseless gossip about us, it wouldn’t be good. Whatever you have to say, just say it now."
Wanyan Jingchen nodded and looking at her flushed cheeks, said, "I just overheard your conversation with Madam Wu, and I want to know what you really think."
