Chapter 446 - 290 New Year (2)
"Miss Xiao’s fiancée is reserved and not good with words; I’m afraid she might offend you," Xiao Song said with a faint smile, yet showed no intention of stepping aside.
As long as the person wasn’t brought through the door, there could be complications. Before that happened, although Xiao Song wouldn’t hide the fact that he already had a fiancée, he also wouldn’t put her in the spotlight for everyone to comment on. Moreover, Ming has always been a person of many controversies.
"Oh?" The person chuckled, the pitch of their voice rising at the end.
Ran Yan heard the unhurried "pat" "pat" sound, like the handle of a fan gently tapping the palm of a hand.
Soon, a series of footsteps followed.
Ran Yan peered out half a head, and saw one of them dressed in men’s clothing with wide sleeves and a sweeping robe, encircled by a crowd in the middle, with a slender figure and a jade belt tied around the waist, their neck and shoulders enwrapped by a thick, white mink fur collar. With hair half-up and cascading over the white fur, under the bright lights, they seemed to shimmer and twist, captivating even from just a back view.
Halfway through her descent, she suddenly stopped, swiftly unfurled her folding fan, and partially concealed her face.
Xiao Song and Ran Yan both thought she would continue downstairs but, unexpectedly, she turned her head back, the corners of her eyes lifted with a smile. She blinked, then with a toss of her dark hair, she cheerfully made her way down.
Who she was directing that at, Xiao Song or Ran Yan, was unclear.
Once inside, Xiao Song said, "That was Princess Baling."
Ran Yan had somewhat guessed her royal identity, yet hadn’t expected it to be the seldom-seen but widely known Princess Baling. "She does appear to be quite a character."
