A hint of confusion flashed in Mo Shisheng's beautiful, sparkling eyes. "What are you looking at?"
"..."
As soon as she spoke, Huang came to her senses. Her three-lobed mouth continued to move, and she even turned around and shrank into a corner.
Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao also looked away, and the two of them lowered their eyes to look at their hands in unison.
Shangguan Xuan wasn't as dramatic as them; his gaze remained fixed on Mo Shisheng, with no intention of looking away.
"Cough cough..."
Qi Yufeng, however, coughed lightly, trying to ease the tension, but found that the atmosphere only became more awkward. He tugged at the corner of his mouth and looked at Mo Shisheng, "You really don't plan to keep the name Shangguan Yan?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng lazily raised her eyes, "I am not Shangguan Yan, so what does it matter whether I want her or not?"
"Then I'll call you Mo Shisheng from now on." Qi Yufeng's lips curled into a wicked smile as he leaned casually against the carriage. Having left the palace, he truly embodied the meaning of "playful and unconventional."
"random."
Mo Shisheng spoke softly, as if he didn't want to say anything more.
Qi Yufeng naturally noticed this as well, and he wisely shut his mouth, instantly quieting the atmosphere inside the carriage.
Along the way, Mo Shisheng leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
When the carriage stopped, it was nearly evening.
Wu Dong's voice rang out from outside the carriage, "Young master, we've arrived at the inn."
"Um."
Qi Yufeng responded indifferently, lifted the carriage curtain, and got off the carriage first.
Jiang Ge also stood up, and after Jiang Yao picked up the cage, the two of them got off the carriage together.
When Mo Shisheng got up, her feet felt numb, like being pricked with needles, which was very uncomfortable. She frowned and ignored the feeling.
As she jumped off the carriage, she lost her balance and fell to the side. Suddenly, a strong arm swept across her waist and pulled her closer to its embrace.
Mo Shisheng reached out and placed her hand on Shangguan Xuan's chest at the right moment, then took a few steps back to steady herself. "Thanks."
Upon hearing Mo Shisheng's thanks, Shangguan Xuan's lips curled into a mocking smile. Without a word, he strode past Mo Shisheng and headed into the inn.
Er led them to a private room, and after closing the door, began serving the dishes one after another.
This inn is a bit remote, and the dishes are all wild game, but they are very fragrant and appetizing.
There weren't so many formalities when they were out, and Jiang Ge, Jiang Yao, and Wu Dong also sat at the table to eat with them.
Qi Yufeng poured himself a glass of wine and slowly said, "There's still a long way to go to Chushan. There's nowhere to rest except this inn. I'm afraid you won't be used to it, so stay here for the night and continue your journey tomorrow."
"I'm not as delicate as you think."
Mo Shisheng glanced coldly at Qi Yufeng. Her eating manners were not as elegant as those of a well-bred lady, but they were still very noble and pleasing to the eye.
"I was at least thinking of you, otherwise you would have gone so heartlessly."
Qi Yufeng smiled, poured Shangguan Xuan a glass of wine, and then asked Mo Shisheng, "Would you like some?"
"I won't drink it."
Mo Shisheng shook her head. She didn't eat much and was full quickly.
After sitting and waiting for a while, they all put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another. After arranging a room for each person, Mo Shisheng went back to her room to rest.
After taking a bath, all the aches and pains in my body disappeared, and I lay comfortably on the bed.
