Chapter 677 - 071 Holiday, shopping_1
Xia Zheng had originally planned to ride back to the Capital city by himself, but he was overwhelmed by the large and small packages Lin Yuan prepared for him, so he had to return by carriage after all.
Leaning against the carriage, Xia Zheng wore a face full of resentment—all because of these gifts; otherwise, he could have ridden back and spent another day doting on Lin Yuan. Now look, the carriage is so slow that he had to depart a day earlier.
With no outlet for his frustration, Xia Zheng glanced sideways at the parcels inside the carriage. These gifts were going to someone, and when he got back, he would find someone to vent his frustration on. He didn’t dare provoke the old man at home but that didn’t mean he couldn’t go after his older brother. He heard his brother had bought another scenic residence in the suburbs. Hmm, when he got back, he would first go have a look at the property, and if he liked it, he would just take it.
In a certain mansion on the outskirts of the Capital city, someone was enjoying the snow scenery with his fiancée when he suddenly shivered.
Xia Zhen rubbed his nose, wondering when he had become so susceptible to the cold; then suddenly, he slipped, stepping into a hidden pit full of snow.
His fiancée cried out in alarm, fussing over him with deep concern.
Xia Zhen’s heart thumped nervously: It was his first time strolling in this garden, and to encounter such bad luck—why did he have a nagging sense of foreboding?
In the end, Xia Zheng did leave, and in order not to sadden Lin Yuan, he departed with great fanfare, hiding in the carriage and never coming out again. But only Liuzi, the coachman, knew that after the Young Master hid away, he suddenly drilled a hole in the back of the carriage with a small knife, pitifully peering through to see Lin Yuan’s lovely face.
If Liuzi hadn’t seen their Young Master’s actions through the gaps in the carriage curtains, he might have thought there was something wrong with the new carriage.
