As soon as she finished speaking, Xiang Wan felt that it was inappropriate to say those words under the circumstances, but what's said is said, and it was too late to regret it. Besides, she had just been rescued by the man and was still in a daze, so it would be good to distract herself.
"Raise your head!"
A cold, stern voice came from above, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Xiang Wan was no longer flustered. Hearing the man's words, she stood still and looked up at him.
As the man crouched down, his plain white brocade robe, embroidered with gold thread at the collar, draped over the carriage. His black hair stood up, secured only by a white jade hairpin. His thin lips were slightly pursed, his eyes sharp, and he toyed with a piece of mutton-fat jade in his hand. The morning sunlight shone on him from behind, making him appear even more handsome and dashing.
Xiang Wan was momentarily stunned. In her modern life, she had seen many movie stars and collected a lot of pictures of handsome men. They were pleasing to the eye, but she had never seen a handsome man so close to her in real life. She couldn't help but breathe softly, afraid of disturbing him.
Is it pretty?
"nice."
As soon as Xiang Wan finished answering, she sensed a change in the man's aura and instantly snapped out of her daze. She took a few deep breaths, suppressed the slight infatuation in her heart, blinked, and calmly looked back at him.
The man seemed a little surprised, a ripple appeared in his eyes, but when he looked over again, only indifference remained.
Xiang Wan remained calm, as if nothing had happened. She curtsied and asked, "Young master, your journey has been blessed with divine assistance. I congratulate you on your resounding success. However, I wonder where my sister is now. I hope you will be so kind as to enlighten me."
"Heh, you're quite an interesting woman. I just saved your life, and instead of thanking me for saving it, you're asking about my sister's whereabouts." The man toyed with the white jade in his hand, saying with a hint of amusement, "Do you think I'm omnipotent?"
Seeing that the man wasn't angry, but rather seemed quite calm, Xiang Wan deduced that he must have already rescued the drugged Xiang Xia. Looking at the man's appearance, setting aside his face, his profile seemed somewhat familiar. Since arriving at the Qin residence, she hadn't seen a more unforgettable man, and she hadn't really looked at him closely after he rescued her. After thinking carefully, she remembered the man who had inexplicably glanced at her at the restaurant last night, becoming even more certain that he was after these human traffickers. However, the man seemed unwilling to talk about it now, and she couldn't force him. While pondering, she decided to probe his background.
"I have no other skills, but I do have a little talent for reading faces. Would you like to give it a try, young master?"
After Xiang Wan finished speaking casually, seeing that the man did not say anything, seemingly agreeing with her words, she continued, "Young master, you are born into wealth and honor, and eight or nine out of ten things you wish for will come true. However, you are currently having a lot of romantic entanglements. If you do not handle it well, you will be in big trouble."
"Oh?" The man seemed to find Xiang Wan's words amusing, and gestured for her to continue.
"Judging from your full forehead, bright eyes, and rosy complexion, this peach blossom must be exactly what you desire."
The man raised an eyebrow, and Xiang Wan knew there was a chance. So she lowered her head and pretended to calculate with her fingers. After a while, she advised with a serious expression, "Young master, your destined person seems to be somewhat incompatible with your current romantic prospects. I hope you will be careful."
"Haha, you're quite an interesting woman."
The man laughed heartily, thinking that Xiang Wan was talking nonsense.
"If you believe, it will work; if you don't believe, it won't. The destined person is in the southeast direction. Why don't you go and find her, sir? If you really meet her, then it's fate, and I'll consider it my way of thanking you for saving my life. If you don't meet her, then just consider it nonsense, and I will definitely find another way to repay you in the future."
