😭
I'll have to choose a new side project.Chapter 04
The fat cadre obviously didn't have a good feeling for sick seedlings and took two steps back in disgust, fearing of being infected by the cold.
"Hurry on..." He raised his hand to signal them to leave, but as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion from the rear right and accompanying it were the messy sound of horse hooves.
"How dare a few cadres stop our young master!" A sharp male voice scolded impatiently.
Most of the cadres present and the people around heard it and couldn't help but seek the source.
Not far away, several cadres stopped a group of men who were about to leave the city. The leader was a handsome sixteen-seventeen year old gentleman in blue.
The young man in blue was followed by four or five followers. The tall horses under them were neighing, pacing, and breathing heavily from their nostrils.
The square-faced young man who just spoke continued to yell at the cadre: "Do you know who our young master is? We are Duke Ying’s..."
"Jiang He!" The young man in blue scolded in displeasure and tightened his thin lips.
The square-faced young man immediately fell silent, remembering that it wasn't appropriate for them to show off when they went out.
The movement on their side was too loud and attracted the attention of too many people, including Juan Bi in the carriage.
Juan Bi looked at the young man in blue. She was startled for a moment and nervousness appeared in her eyes. She lowered her voice and said to Gu Yanfei: "Miss, that is Heir Fang of the Duke Ying's Manor."
The Gu and Fang families were family friends. Heir Fang often visited the Marquis Manor. Juan Bi saw the other party from a distance a few times when she was in the capital.
Of course Gu Yanfei also saw him. Her eyes were calm and deep. She unconsciously gripped her right hand hidden in his sleeve.
The face that had been blurred for two hundred years became clear again at this moment.
Duke Ying’s Heir, Fang Mingfeng.
Gu Yanfei had known that they would meet again, thinking that she would see him in the capital like she did in her previous life, not here.
It turned out that in order to kill her, he actually made a trip to Danyang City himself!
In her previous life, after discovering that she wasn't dead in Danyang City, Fang Mingfeng did not give up. He was like a poisonous snake lurking in a dark corner, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
In an instant, inner demons crazily spread in Gu Yanfei's heart like wildfire. There was a biting chill in her eyes.
Her right hand was tightly clenched in her sleeve and her nails dug into the soft palm. Some unforgettable memories came one after another, flashing around in her mind like a revolving lantern.
"Miss Gu, do you recognize this Heir Fang?" Gentleman Chu turned the white porcelain tea cup in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Heir?!" With great exclamation, Xiao Shi outside the carriage raised his voice.
With his shout, the nearby squad leader and the fat cadre also heard it. Their expressions changed and turned to Fang Mingfeng with a look of fear.
It turned out that this noble gentleman wasn't only a member of the Duke Ying's family, but also an heir!
The officials retreated silently again and again, staying far away.
Fang Mingfeng and his party also noticed the commotion on the carriage side and simultaneously looked over.
When they saw Gu Yanfei in the carriage, their expressions changed and their eyes were filled with emotions such as shock, horror, suspicion, contempt, etc.
Those eyes that seemed to have seen a ghost conveyed: Second Miss Gu was still alive!
Immediately, they noticed that there was an unfamiliar young man in white in the carriage.
The young man was rich and handsome, while the young girl was exquisitely beautiful. Looking at their appearance alone, they were both dragon and phoenix among people. At this moment, they were sitting facing each other across a chessboard, as if they were old friends for many years. The atmosphere was harmonious.
The entourage all frowned, feeling that this Second Miss Gu, who grew up in the countryside, was shameless. A girl who had not yet left the boudoir was actually in the same carriage with a man? !
This Second Miss Gu wasn't worthy of their heir at all!
Fang Mingfeng had a cold face and looked down at Gu Yanfei in the carriage from the horse. His eyes darkened.
After the initial shock, the shock turned into anger and a fire burned in his chest.
Fang Mingfeng rode his horse forward with his figure as straight as a bamboo. His handsome face carried a polite smile, noble, proud and distant.
"How courteous." Fang Mingfeng held the reins and cupped his hands to Gu Yanfei gracefully, "Does this miss know me..."
He was the heir of the duke manor; grew up pampered and born with the aloofness of a proud man of heaven.
"Fang Mingfeng!"
The calm and indifferent female voice interrupted Fang Mingfeng. Gu Yanfei's mind had calmed down.
"..." Fang Mingfeng stared at her in astonishment. His eyes grew darker.
No one had ever dared to interrupt him like this.
Gu Yanfei didn't care what Fang Mingfeng's reaction was and continued with clear eyes, "I can't take a fancy to people like you."
"This is the end of our engagement."
The last sentence was shocking, but Gu Yanfei said it in such a calm tone, as if she was just talking about a trivial matter.
A girl in her prime was as beautiful as the moon in the bright clouds, with a noble temperament.
The surroundings fell into deathly silence.
A flash of light flashed in Gentleman Chu's eyes. His ring finger gently rubbed the cup twice.
The nearby squad leader was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. His eyes swept back and forth between Gu Yanfei, Gentleman Chu, and Fang Mingfeng.
The cadres were all smart people and exchanged glances with interest.
"..." Fang Mingfeng was silent. His thin lips tightly pressed into a straight line. For a moment, his face turned blue to purple, purple to red, and red to black. The colors changing was quite a sight.
It went without saying he looked down upon the vulgar, rude, and perverse wild girl in front of him. Compared with his Rong-er, one was in the heavens and one was in the earth.
However, why did she look down on him? What right did she have to make irresponsible remarks to him!
Fang Mingfeng had been a proud man of heaven since he was young and had never suffered such humiliation in his life!
His face darkened and he felt his face was burning.
"Gentleman Chu, let's enter the city."
Gu Yanfei no longer looked at Fang Mingfeng. The look she cast on Gentleman Chu's face had a hint of discernment, as if she could see through the whole person inside and out.
"Of course." Gentleman Chu's voice was as gentle as water and the corners of his lips still maintained a gentle arc. He ordered the driver, "Sihai, let's go."
The driver Sihai responded and waved his whip. The cadres quickly moved out of the way.
The surrounding cadres and passers-by all eyed Fang Mingfeng with strange gazes, showing sympathy and lament.
So what about if he was a dignified heir? His engagement was canceled in public!
Xiao Shi quickly closed the door of the carriage, blocking out the surrounding eyes of those watching the drama.
The carriage moved toward the city, leaving only Fang Mingfeng and his party frozen in place.
