The driver was dressed in coarse linen clothes, wearing a tattered hat, and holding a horsewhip as if he were just pretending.
He got off the carriage with an air of importance, put down a small stool from the back seat, and lifted the curtain to wait for the people inside to get off.
Who is it?
Lu Mingming peeked over.
A hand, clearly from hard labor with calluses on its palm, extended an exquisite embroidered curtain. On its wrist hung strings of agate, jade, and gold bracelets, which, despite their appearance, did not seem vulgar at all, but rather exuded an air of unparalleled nobility.
The driver picked up the carriage, and then a deep purple dress came into view, with a beige hem and pink lotus flowers embroidered on the body.
This is definitely not the kind of cheap photo studio makeup you can get for a few hundred stars at the entrance; this effect has successfully sparked discussion among tourists.
"Wow, this dress is really beautiful. It must be one of the custom-made ones."
"Luckily, I managed to book a custom-made item on the day I managed to snag a ticket. I heard it's now 10,000 Singapore dollars and you can't even get one."
"It's only been open for 3 months. I'll definitely pre-order one next time I manage to get a ticket. I missed the chance this time, sigh."
The tourists' chatter went in one ear and out the other, while Lu Mingming stared blankly ahead—she seemed to know who the other person was.
The woman lifted the curtain, revealing a heavily made-up face that exuded an aura of power and wealth. The surrounding tourists were immediately silenced by this presence, as if they had encountered a powerful family from ancient times.
Only Lu Mingming waved and called out, "Aunt Shi!! It's you who came to pick me up!"
Aunt Shi's eyes locked onto Lu Mingming's direction. Ignoring the driver who was waiting beside her, she hurriedly lifted her skirt, revealing the sneakers she was wearing underneath, and ran over.
"You little devil, you've been gone for three months without a word. I only just found out you're back, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight!"
Aunt Shi scolded him one after another, playfully hitting Lu Mingming's arm, but without any force, even gently stroking it.
"I came to find you guys as soon as I had some free time~"
Lu Mingming tried to please him by acting cute.
"I can't be bothered to talk to you."
Aunt Shi looked around and saw that the tourists were all staring at the two of them, speculating about their relationship.
"Let's go inside and discuss this slowly; there are too many people here."
Lu Mingming nodded and followed Aunt Shi into the city openly.
"By the way, wasn't there a short guy with you? Why didn't we see him?"
When Lu Mingming heard Aunt Shi mention the young boss, she had no choice but to repeat the story again.
"This little brat... I'll rip his whole room apart!"
Aunt Shi cursed loudly, her expression full of anger.
"So you mean you didn't go to the mermaid's lair?"
These words were spoken in a very soft and mysterious voice, so much so that Lu Mingming could barely hear them.
Lu Mingming shook his head: "We came back to see the chief about something else. Orannar plans to establish a hidden base on Blue Star, and things are about to change."
