Chapter 122

Huo Jin thought about how childish he was when he deliberately showed the handkerchief to his father-in-law that day. He cleared his throat uncomfortably and said, "It's not too late now, do you want to go shopping?"

Luo Chaoyan nodded. Since they were already out, they could just go back later.

So the two of them got off the carriage and walked along the street.

Shu Lan and Feng Li followed behind, and the guards pulling the carriage followed closely behind.

Shu Lan smiled and whispered to Feng Li: "Shu Lan, don't you think the young lady and the master seem to be a lot closer?"

Fengli nodded, with a smile on her face, and said, "Yes, this is how we act like a couple."

Huo Jin had a handsome face, which attracted the girls passing by to look back at him frequently. Some of the bolder ones even flirted with him, but he always kept a cold face and ignored them.

He was holding Luo Chaoyan's hand, but fortunately his sleeves were wide and covered their hands.

She raised their clasped hands and motioned for him to let go.

Huo Jin looked at her and said, "Don't get separated when there are so many people."

Luo Chaoyan looked at him speechlessly, she was not a child. But seeing that he insisted on holding her hand, she let him go.

She turned around and saw a stand selling masks not far away, and said, "Let's go over there and take a look."

The stall owner saw that they were a young and beautiful couple and said with a smile, "Sir! Madam, look at my mask."

He took out a pair of masks and introduced them, "These are the Cowherd and Weaver Girl masks, which are very suitable for you two loving couples."

Cough cough! Luo Chaoyan blushed for a rare moment. This was the first time someone outside had said in front of her that they were a loving couple.

Huo Jin looked at the stall owner and asked, "How much?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "Not expensive, twenty cents each."

After Huo Jin handed him the money, he took the mask from his hand and handed a Weaver Girl mask to Luo Chaoyan.

Luo Chaoyan looked at him and smiled: "I want the one from Cowherd."

Huo Jin was stunned, and seeing that she really wanted it, he gave it to her.

The stall owner smiled and said, "Madam, your husband is so good to you. I wish you two will live happily ever after."

Huo Jin raised the corner of his lips and said, "Thank you!"

Luo Chaoyan felt that if she stayed here any longer, the stall owner might say something embarrassing, so she quickly pulled Huo Jin somewhere else.

Huo Jin saw someone selling candied haws and thought that she seemed to like them, so he asked for two strings.

Luo Chaoyan looked at the candied haws he handed over, the corners of her lips twitched, and she said, "My dear, do you treat me like a child?"

Huo Jin smiled and said, "You don't like to eat?"

Luo Chaoyan paused, took a string, took a bite, then raised her hand and handed the candied haws to his mouth. Motioned for him to eat too. It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. certainly! She did it on purpose because she didn't believe he would eat it. Humph, you treated me like a child.

Huo Jin looked at the bulging thing in her mouth, which looked like a cute squirrel with some sugar filaments on the corners of her lips. He took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her, then took a bite in her incredible gaze.

He actually didn't like sweets very much, but since she took the initiative this time, he certainly didn't want to reject her.

Seeing him frown, Luo Chaoyan said, "If you don't like it, don't force it."

Huo Jin shook his head and said, "Not bad."

When a woman passed by them, she saw Huo Jin's handsome face and immediately fell in love with him, throwing a handkerchief to him.

Huo Jin didn't even look at her, and continued walking forward holding Luo Chaoyan's hand.

Seeing that every few steps a girl would repeat the same trick, Luo Chaoyan sighed and said, "Why don't you put on the mask?"

Huo Jin looked at the Weaver Girl mask in his hand with a big red flower tied on the edge, and looked at her, as if asking: Do you really want to wear it?

Luo Chaoyan did not give him the chance to refuse. She directly took the mask from his hand and stood on tiptoe to help him put it on.

After putting the mask on him, Luo Chaoyan was very satisfied. He was a good-looking man, and his charm could not be concealed by just a mask.

"My dear, don't worry, you are still very handsome!" It's just a pity, if he changed into women's clothes, he would be more beautiful! Thousands of people

Huo Jin looked at her helplessly.

Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Let's go!"

Although some girls looked at him curiously this time, no one threw a handkerchief at him again.

The two of them walked around for a while, bought some food, and when they saw that it was getting dark, they decided to go back.

Just as I turned around, I saw Gu Xinyu coming over with a few maids.

Gu Xinyu looked up and saw that Luo Chaoyan was walking so close to a masked man, and she couldn't help but be curious about the man's identity. Given Lord Huo's cold temper, he probably wouldn't have the leisure time to accompany her to stroll around this messy street market. Is there something shameful going on?

Thinking of this, the corners of her lips curved up, she walked up to them, nodded to Luo Chaoyan, and greeted, "Mrs. Huo!"

Luo Chaoyan nodded calmly, and said to Huo Jin, "Let's go!"

Gu Xinyu pretended to be wronged and said, "Mrs. Huo, we know each other anyway, can't we just chat for a while?"

Luo Chaoyan looked at her as if she were a fool and said, "Ms. Gu, although we know each other, we are not close." Don't try to make friends with me, I'm annoyed!

"Mrs. Huo, don't you think it's inappropriate for you to be so intimate with a man in public?" Gu Xinyu looked as if she was doing it for her own good.

She didn't know why, but as soon as she finished saying this, she felt a chill emanating from the man's body and his eyes were a little cold. It made her heart tremble.

Luo Chaoyan blinked, she looked at Huo Jin, then at Gu Xinyu. Hadn't she admired Huo Jin for a long time? Can't you recognize me with a mask on?

She may not know that Gu Xinyu has seen Huo Jin only a few times, so it is normal that she did not recognize him at first.

Huo Jin said coldly: "We are husband and wife, and we don't need others to interfere in what we do."

Gu Xinyu's body stiffened. This voice was... it was Lord Huo's.

She adjusted the hairpin on her head, and said apologetically, "It's really my poor eyesight that I don't know whether it's Master Huo or Master Huo who can forgive me."

After saying this, she bit her lip, looking aggrieved and about to cry, with some tenderness and resentment in her watery eyes.

Luo Chaoyan felt goosebumps when she saw this. She looked at Huo Jin, but saw that he was only looking at her.

Huo Jin asked, "Do you still want to go shopping?"

Luo Chaoyan looked at the gray sky, which looked like it was about to rain, and she shook her head.

Huo Jin took her hand and turned to walk away.

Gu Xinyu felt a little ashamed and annoyed when she saw that Huo Jin didn't even glance at her and just ignored her. Looking at their backs as they walked away hand in hand, she felt even more resentful in her heart. How on earth could she compare to Luo Chaoyan, a woman without any ladylike upbringing?

A maidservant beside her asked with some concern: "Miss, are you okay?"

Gu Xinyu gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay, let's go back!"

Huo Jin took Luo Chaoyan by the hand and walked towards their carriage.

Luo Chaoyan looked at him and said, "My dear, don't you recognize who that girl was just now?" She had seen clearly the resentment on Gu Xinyu's face just now.

Huo Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter to me who she is."

Luo Chaoyan subconsciously asked, "What's important to you?"

"You!" Huo Jin looked at her seriously and said, "You are the most important to me." I hope that one day I can also be the most important to you.

When Luo Chaoyan saw him looking at her intently, her heart began to beat fast. Cough cough! It turns out that the most beautiful things in the world are love words!
