Chapter 286: Aspect of the Dharma
# 286. Aspect of the Dharma
"Oh, I’ve spotted someone I know, I’m gonna go meet them."
Leaving that one sentence behind in the air, Xu Qi’an turned to go downstairs, discreetly circling around the crowd from a distance, making his way toward the middle-aged woman in plain clothes and a simple wooden hairpin.
Chu Yuanzhen’s eyes followed him, and when he saw that Xu Qi’an’s target was an older, rather plain-looking woman, he immediately burst out laughing:
“Xu Ningyan’s tastes are quite... unique.”
Hengyuan furrowed his brow, about to defend Sir Xu, when he noticed from afar that Xu Qi’an was sporting a rather roguish grin, chatting with the woman.
The woman ignored him, even giving him a scornful look, but Xu didn’t seem to mind, chattering away incessantly.
Seeing this, Hengyuan lost the confidence to defend him, awkwardly saying, “Youthful indulgence might not be a bad thing.”
Chu Yuanzhen laughed heartily. “The Oirans of Jiaofangsi may be beautiful, but they always feel like they’re lacking something. But a married woman like this... there’s a certain charm to it.”
