Chapter 531 - 352: Farewell_2
He hadn’t finished his thoughts when Wan Lu came to report, "My lord, a servant from the front courtyard says that someone from the palace has arrived, apparently a Junior Supervisor."
Ran Yan, who was leaning on the window to breathe in the cool air, paused in her movements but insisted on looking away, refusing to glance at him.
Xiao Song stepped forward, turned her face towards him, and gently kissed her smooth forehead, helplessly smiling, "Let’s say our farewells in advance."
"Just go," Ran Yan said impatiently.
Xiao Song gave a faint smile and turned to leave.
In fact, his mourning period had already ended today. He was to formally visit the Government Office the next day. If he was only going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Emperor would not have sent someone specially to inform him, unless it was an immediate dispatch to an assigned task.
Ran Yan frowned and looked out the window, soon catching sight of Xiao Song walking through the courtyard with an umbrella. He was still clad in plain clothing, his jet-black hair loosely tied back, under a tawny oiled-paper umbrella. His figure was remarkably proportioned, moving through the curtain of rain like an immortal, drawing one’s gaze irresistibly.
"Lady," Wan Lu brought over a soothing summer soup, "Have some more to dispel the remaining heat."
Ran Yan silently accepted the cup and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wan Lu, why do I feel a bit heartache already, even though he hasn’t left yet?"
"You and your lord have a love as deep as the sea; he is also extremely considerate towards you. It’s natural to feel sad about his sudden departure. I just hope he will come back soon," Wan Lu consoled.
