Chapter 567: The Mysterious Young Master
Mu Wanqing was unaware of a conflicted observer watching from behind. She hid her face against Song Qingshu’s chest, too embarrassed to look up. His body radiated a comforting scent that she couldn’t quite place, but after a moment of thought, she realized it resembled the warmth of sunlight.
Breathing in this reassuring scent, Mu Wanqing drifted off to sleep. When she awoke, she noticed a flurry of sounds around her. Peeking up, she realized they were in the middle of a bustling marketplace, with several people pointing and whispering about them. Embarrassed, she murmured, “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“You’re awake?” Song Qingshu replied with a gentle smile, looking down at her. “You just detoxified the poison. Sleeping a bit longer will help your recovery.”
“There are so many people watching!” Mu Wanqing protested, noting he had made no attempt to put her down.
“If they want to look, let them. A handsome man and beautiful woman always draw attention,” Song Qingshu chuckled heartily.
“I don’t have your shamelessness,” Mu Wanqing retorted, her face flushing. Yet, she didn’t want to leave the warmth of his embrace, so she pulled out a silk scarf to cover her face and snuggled back into his chest.
Amused by her bashful reaction, Song Qingshu laughed. “What are you hiding for? It’s not like we’re in an unspeakable relationship.”
“I don’t care; I just don’t want to be seen like this,” Mu Wanqing muttered shyly.
“Well, if you don’t want to be recognized, then I’ll join you.” Song Qingshu took out his silver mask and covered his face, knowing he needed to keep a low profile.
