Chapter 409: Chapter 82: Co to the Royal Capital to Marry ! (4.8K)
Front Hall.
As the door swung open, the whooshing cold wind rushed in through the wide doorway.
Flakes of snow, light as feathers, flew into the room along with the backdraft.
The temperature difference between inside and outside created such a scene.
“I have seen Senior Lin,” Jiang Ning bowed with clasped hands.
In front of everyone, even with her thick-skinned nature, she couldn’t bring herself to call out “Sister Lin.”
At the sa ti.
Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan, upon seeing Jiang Ning’s arrival, imdiately let out a sigh of relief in secret.
Both of them had already known why Jiang Ning asked them to bring Jiang Yiming and Little Dumpling to the front hall.
Now that Jiang Ning had appeared, it ant that the worst expectations had not co to pass.
Lin Qingyi, standing nearby, saw the two of them and cracked a slight smile: “What are you two doing standing there, co on in! If you don’t co in soon, all the warmth inside will escape.”
Upon hearing this.
The two stepped over the threshold, and Jiang Ning turned to close the front hall door.
…
“Here, sit down!” Lin Qingyi grabbed Jiang Ning’s arm and pushed her down next to the young girl.
She looked from Jiang Ning to the girl beside her and imdiately showed a satisfied expression.
“A handso man and a beautiful woman, truly a perfect match!”
Ji Minghao looked at the two of them: “My sister-in-law’s words are definitely on point.”
Elsewhere.
Little Dumpling tugged on her two little braids: “Brother, what is Dudu doing?”
“I don’t know!” Jiang Yiming shook his head nonchalantly, appearing very grown-up.
At that mont, Liuu Wanwan, who was holding Little Dumpling, had a smile that reached her eyes.
Then she glanced at Jiang Li, and imdiately noticed a faint worry between his brows.
“What’s the matter?” she leaned in towards Jiang Li and asked softly.
Jiang Li shook his head slightly: “I’ll tell you later!”
anwhile.
Jiang Ning turned her head slightly and glanced at the girl beside her dressed in a goose yellow gown.
From the side, one could see the fine peach fuzz on her cheeks and nose.
Also, because they were sitting close, she could sll a faint fragrance emanating from the girl, a blend of osmanthus and gardenia.
Clean and elegant.
Once the girl realized Jiang Ning was looking her way, she seed to relax a bit.
She turned her head to look at Jiang Ning, her gaze unabashed and her eyes shining brightly.
“You’re very good-looking!” the girl said.
“Thank you, you’re very pretty too!” Jiang Ning smiled.
The girl, hearing this, couldn’t help but show a faint smile on her face.
Although she was used to such complints, for so reason, today they felt particularly rewarding.
She looked at Jiang Ning: “My na is Ji Mingyue, what’s yours?”
“Jiang Ning!”
Hearing this, Ji Mingyue smiled, seemingly at ease, with no sign of the initial discomfort on her face.
But in a place out of everyone’s view, her hands resting on her abdon were constantly twisting the corner of her clothing, and her palms had already started sweating.
Ji Mingyue tilted her head and looked at Jiang Ning: “I don’t know why, but I feel like I’ve t you before!”
“t ?” Jiang Ning smiled and shook her head: “Impossible!”
“It’s unlikely!” Ji Mingyue also nodded slightly, echoing Jiang Ning’s words.
Then she extended her soft, fair hand: “Jiang Ning, it’s a pleasure to et you!”
Seeing Ji Mingyue’s gesture, Jiang Ning was montarily taken aback.
Ji Mingyue’s posture was that of offering a handshake.
In this world, there was no such custom of handshaking.
The next mont, he hesitantly extended his right hand.
Seeing this, Ji Mingyue reached out again, her fair hand lightly clasping Jiang Ning’s.
Jiang Ning imdiately felt the delicate, unboned quality of Ji Mingyue’s hand and the fine layer of sweat on it.
This sweat undoubtedly revealed that Ji Mingyue was very nervous, so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Jiang Ning was even more curious.
“Miss Ming Yue, I’m also very pleased to et you!” he said.
Ji Mingyue imdiately looked at Jiang Ning with sparkling eyes and a soft smile, revealing two dimples: “I don’t really like being called Miss Ming Yue!”
“You can call Ming Yue, or Yueer.”
“I’m the seventeenth in my family, so my nickna is Little Seventeen, you can call that too.”
“Little Seventeen, I like that the most!”
“Alright, Little Seventeen!” Jiang Ning’s face showed a gentle smile.
Seeing the smile on Jiang Ning’s face, Ji Mingyue’s eyes curved into crescent moons.
…
A mont later.
At Lin Qingyi’s suggestion, Jiang Ning sowhat reluctantly walked out of the hall with Ji Mingyue.
Lin Qingyi claid it was to give them so private ti together.
And true to the saying “romantic scenery in snowy weather,” the snowy day was ideal for a walk to enjoy the snow.
“You’re so tall!” Ji Mingyue tiptoed but was only able to reach Jiang Ning’s brows.
She stood on her tiptoes, reached a hand up to compare, and gently touched Jiang Ning’s nose with her palm.
Watching Ji Mingyue trying to asure her height against his, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but chuckle.
“n are naturally taller than won.”
“That’s true!” Ji Mingyue nodded slightly, biting her finger as if pondering.
Then, her gaze shifted to Jiang Ning’s hands.
“Can I see your palm?”
Jiang Ning looked at Ji Mingyue, puzzled.
Soon after, he stretched out his palm open.
Ji Mingyue also imdiately opened her palm above Jiang Ning’s.
“Your hand is so big!”
While speaking, Jiang Ning felt their skin touch.
Ji Mingyue’s cool hand was now in his, causing her ears to fill with a red blush.
This was the first ti in his life he had been so daring, mirroring the bold actions from his dreams.
Seeing Jiang Ning’s gaze upon her, she didn’t shy away and looked back at him with twinkling eyes.
