Jiang Li secretly wanted to pull her sleeve from his grasp, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t succeed. Her movements were too abrupt, causing her to wobble and nearly trip, but Jih Heng steadied her.
"Be careful when you walk," he said with a smile in his voice.
Jiang Li had no choice but to give up.
As they walked along the streets outside Huangzhou City, not many people dared to stride so openly during such tumultuous times. Especially since Jih Heng’s appearance was so striking, it immediately caught the attention of many. People hid behind windows and doors, stealing glances at them. Young girls in particular, seeing Jih Heng’s extraordinary demeanor, had already been sizing him up covertly. And naturally, they didn’t stop staring at Jiang Li, whom Jih Heng was holding onto.
Jiang Li really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; she truly disliked being gawked at as if she were a rare spectacle.
Jiang Li said, "Duke, I think we should go back. Or perhaps you could continue on your own, and I’ll head back first."
"When you were Xue Fangfei, you must have been quite used to this," Jih Heng reminded her leisurely.
Jiang Li choked on her words. That was true; when she first married into Yanjing City, she had been the epitome of beauty and had always been the subject of people’s gazes. At first, she felt uncomfortable, but later she grew accustomed to it. But now, she no longer looked like Xue Fangfei. Jiang Li said, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. I am no longer Xue Fangfei."
