Chapter 1098: Chapter 1099: Aren’t You Angry?
An Jing and Xiao Changyi hadn’t made lunch yet when ng Lanqing and Tobanya arrived.
Tobanya did co alone.
When ng Lanqing arrived, he brought a family mber—Gong Juese.
Gong Juechen had his disguise down perfectly, not letting his sister Gong Juese notice anything amiss; in fact, he even provoked her into chasing after him to hit him.
Because Gong Juechen had remarked that Gong Juese’s son had gotten plump, describing him as a little mound of pudginess.
Like ng Zhuqing, ng Lanqing knew that Gong Juechen was actually Su Chenglin, but he chose, like the others, to continue deceiving his unsuspecting wife.
He believed it was better for his wife to remain oblivious to these matters.
Tobanya, however, had no idea that Gong Juechen was Su Chenglin, who was supposedly burned to death over twenty years ago, and ng Zhuqing had no intention of telling Tobanya this. After all, everyone had chosen to keep it a secret, so it was better left unsaid.
Knowing that Tobanya was coming today, ng Zhuqing had arranged everything early and then had nothing else to do, so he waited at the entrance of Prince Yi’s Mansion for Tobanya.
The mont ng Zhuqing saw Tobanya’s carriage approach, his face lit up with joy.
As the carriage stopped at the entrance of Prince Yi’s Mansion, he hurried over and called out, “Yao’er.”
Since the two were betrothed, ng Zhuqing had started calling her Yao’er.
Inside the carriage, Tobanya, with her cool and elegant deanor and stunning face, showed no expression, but upon hearing ng Zhuqing’s voice, a slight smile couldn’t help but bloom on her usually aloof visage.
Erging from the carriage and seeing ng Zhuqing standing below, Tobanya didn’t hurry to disembark, instead asking, “How co you’re conveniently at the entrance?”
ng Zhuqing replied honestly, “I knew you were coming today, so I waited here for you.”
Tobanya didn’t speak; she just stepped down from the carriage. Yet her heart felt incredibly secure.
Since the eradication of the Five Clans, ng Zhuqing had been the only one able to give her this sense of security.
Once they entered Prince Yi’s Mansion and saw that the hallway was devoid of others, Tobanya took out an embroidered mandarin duck purse to give to ng Zhuqing.
ng Zhuqing, however, didn’t imdiately accept the purse, but instead looked at the one being held out to him and asked sowhat dumbly, “For ?”
Tobanya responded, “I made this purse with my own hands. Would you not be angry if I gave it to soone else?”
ng Zhuqing imdiately took the purse and said with a goofy smile, “Of course, I’d be angry. You are my wife-to-be, and a purse made by your hands should naturally only be for .”
Tobanya didn’t speak; she just curved the corners of her mouth and continued walking toward the main courtyard of Prince Yi’s Mansion.
But as soon as she turned around, ng Zhuqing noticed the purse tied to her waist—identical to the one in his hand, clearly a matching pair. A foolish grin spread across his face.
Then, he hastily tied the purse to his own waist.
After that, he quickly followed after Tobanya.
Tobanya’s pace was leisurely; it was obvious she was slowing down to wait for ng Zhuqing to catch up. When ng Zhuqing did catch up and walked beside her, she slightly turned her head.
Seeing that ng Zhuqing was also looking at her, she gave him a subtle smile.
Her cool deanor was like the bloom of a cold plum on a winter day.
ng Zhuqing was transfixed.
When Tobanya and ng Zhuqing leisurely arrived at the main courtyard, they happened to see Gong Juese chasing Gong Juechen, trying to hit him.
Tobanya didn’t pay it any mind; she went straight to An Jing and Xiao Changyi, giving a slight bow to indicate she had co on invitation.
