"Thank you, Guard Kong." Chen Qingxuan also breathed a long sigh of relief and clasped his fists to Kong Wenmin.
"What are you two talking about? Why are you so excited?" Fang Chengyin saw the two of them standing at the door, talking nonstop as soon as she left the room.
"Nothing," Kong Wenmin said hurriedly. He stepped forward and asked, "Miss, shall we go back now?"
"Yeah. It's getting late, we should go back," Fang Chengyin nodded to Kong Wenmin. She glanced at Chen Qingxuan and said to Kong Wenmin, "Go and drive the carriage over here."
"Yes. I obey your command." Kong Wenmin glanced at Fang Chengyin, then at Chen Qingxuan, then turned around and left.
After Kong Wenmin left, Chen Qingxuan and Fang Chengyin stood facing each other. No one spoke. Fang Chengyin looked at Chen Qingxuan. Then she sighed softly.
"Mr. Chen," Fang Chengyin spoke. Her tone was a little sad, totally different from the cheerful and bright look she had just shown when she was teasing Grandma Chen in the room. "Don't you really like me coming here so often?"
Chen Qingxuan stared at the dirty snow on the ground and said softly, "My humble abode is remote and simple. Miss Fang really doesn't need to keep..."
"Okay. I've heard this just now, and I don't want to hear it a second time." Fang Chengyin suddenly interrupted Chen Qingxuan's words, and her beautiful face became even more annoyed. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Kong Wenmin driving over, she stopped talking. She glanced at Chen Qingxuan who was hesitant to speak, and her beautiful eyes dimmed. She didn't say anything else, just bowed to Chen Qingxuan, then turned around and hurriedly got on the carriage.
"Goodbye!" Kong Wenmin clasped his fists and said to Chen Qingxuan, being polite for once in a rare moment.
"Goodbye." Chen Qingxuan also clasped his fists in return.
"Gee, gee, gee!" Kong Wenmin whipped the horse and urged it to gallop away.

Pang Yi was driving on a country road. There was snow on the road, so the horse inevitably ran slower. Pang Yi has never been a quick-tempered person, but for some reason, he was a little irritable today. It might be because there was an unfamiliar woman sitting in the carriage, especially because this woman was very noisy.
"Mr. Pang," Gu Qingtong thought for a while in the carriage before pushing open the door and said to Pang Yi with a smile, "I am really sorry to bother you today. If you hadn't come here, I don't know when I can go to the street again."
Pang Yi pursed his lips slightly, and while swinging the whip, he said to Gu Qingtong behind him: "Miss, you are too polite. It was originally on the way."
"That being said, I'd still like to trouble you to take me for a walk," Gu Qingtong said hurriedly. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke, and she looked shy like a young girl. "Um... Brother Pang, when we get to the street later, I'll treat you to a meal. It happens to be time for lunch."
The call of "Brother Pang" made Pang Yi startled, and then he frowned slightly. He originally thought that Mei Ya was just talking nonsense that day, but this time he couldn't help but believe it a little bit, and his heart was even more confused for a moment.
"Miss, you really don't have to be polite," Pang Yi said after a pause, his tone clearly showing a sense of alienation, "I'm really sorry, I have something else to do at home, so I really don't have time to have dinner with you today. I'll take you back after you finish shopping, as I have to hurry home."
"Oh, is that so..." Gu Qingtong couldn't hide her disappointment, and her fair hands kept rubbing the square red handkerchief. She could hear the excessive politeness in Pang Yi's words, and she was inevitably a little discouraged, but she still forced a smile and said, "Brother Pang, I call you brother, so don't call me girl all the time. If you don't mind, just call me sister from now on."
Pang Yi didn't say anything, his lips were tightly clenched. He whipped the horse's butt hard and said to Gu Qingtong without turning his head, "Girl, go in and sit tight. This road is a bit bumpy."
"Oh." Gu Qingtong looked dejected. She wanted to say a few more words to Pang Yi, but the carriage suddenly accelerated and it was shaking violently. She had no choice but to sit back in the carriage obediently.
"Gee, gee, gee!" Pang Yi whipped the horse hard. The horse neighed all the way and ran towards the market.
