Chapter 488 “His Wife? (1)”

Since Ling Yue herself was excluded from the representing group for Da Xia, it’s only natural that she wouldn’t be privy to this news since no invitation was ever sent to her. As a result, she was now left in a bind, unsure whether or not to leave or to go inside the study room.

“Teacher, just return the invitation,” Feng Shen flatly refuses it.

“But Young Master, His Majesty and the Sacred Maiden….” Mr. Mu sounds troubled by his lord’s childish behavior.

“I just don’t want to go,” the boy insists, refusing to budge.

Towards this version of the boy, Ling Yue was honestly quite astonished by it. She’s never seen him in this form. In her view, Feng Shen was always the calm and stable type who would never change in front of turmoil or pain. That she has seen firsthand, not this childish version which seems to be unusually captivating to the ear and eye still.

“Just say I am unwell.” Helplessly turning his head aside, Feng Shen had long noticed the girl hiding outside. As a such, it swiftly gave hint to Mr. Mu to this fact as well by the way he moved.

“Oh good Miss Ye, my lord here was just saying he’s unwell. Could you please come take a look at him?”

Knowing she’s been caught, Ling Yue immediately showed herself in to stand before the two. Squinting her eyes at the mentioned person, “I think your family’s lord is looking quite good, hardly the face of someone sick.”

“But I am sick, very badly too. The physicians said I am suffering from stuffiness and needs to go out for a stroll in order to cure it.” Revealing a smile so mischievous that his teethes were showing, the lad was truly angelic in how memorizing he appears.

…………………

Soon after the willful incident inside the study room was concluded, two familiar figures were seen leaving from the back entrance – one being full of smiles while the other was wrapped up like a dumping on the face.

“Ling Yue, I will take you to the night market in the city.” When Feng Shen made a grab for the girl’s hand there, Ling Yue still couldn’t help but want to retract it. She’s just not used to being so intimate with something out of the blue.

This guy…. Did he get addicted to holding my hands or something?

But the boy’s reaction wasn’t slow either. Knowing what she wanted to do, he firmly tightens his grasp around that dainty hand until there’s no room for escape.

“I heard that the night market in Di Shing City is very lively. In order to avoid losing each other, it’s best we keep our hands together don’t you think?”

As one of the few super-large capital cities on the continent, the level of liveliness during the night here was in no way inferior to the daytime. Just that, though the boy said he would take her out for a stroll, it’s more like Ling Yue taking him out instead considering how enthusiastic he was along the streets.

“You never came to the night market before, did you?” Though the girl only asked this out of casualty, but she could already tell what the answer would be.

Back during the afternoon when she was cleaning up her room, Ling Yue had accidentally come across an old lady by the name of Granny Zhang and that she was the nanny of the former mistress of the House.

Through her mouth, Ling Yue learned a lot of things about the boy.

From childhood to the age of teen, Feng Shen have always been frail and weak in his constitution. As a result, the boy’s been perennially stationary within the palace during that part of his life.

Then after coming to age at ten where his body has finally recovered somewhat, that’s when he moved back to the Phoenix Manor to inherit his family fortune. Though the boy was inherently talented, it still took him four years of studying and trial and error to fully master the businesses under him.

It’s no wonder he’s so excited. A childhood that’s only filled with a room full of medicine and ledger books, that’s hardly worthy to be called a childhood at all…. Loosening her mood, Ling Yue’s uncomfortable behavior from before was now completely gone, leaving her wide open for the boy to drag through the streets.
