Chapter 4 Engagement



"Hurry up..." He raised his hand to signal them to leave, but as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion from the right rear, accompanied by the sound of messy horse hooves.

"How dare you, a few yamen runners stop our young master!!" a sharp male voice scolded impatiently.

Most of the yamen runners present and the surrounding people heard it and looked in the direction of the sound.

Not far away, several yamen runners stopped a group of men who were about to leave the city. The leader was a handsome young man in blue, about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was dressed in fine clothes and rode a horse, looking extraordinary.

Behind the young man in blue were four or five followers. The tall horses under their crotch were neighing, padding their hooves, and breathing heavily from their nostrils.

The square-faced young man who had just spoken continued to shout at the yamen runner: "Do you know who our young master is? We are the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion..."

"Jiang He!" The young man in blue scolded unhappily and pursed his thin lips.

The square-faced young man immediately fell silent, as he then remembered that it was not appropriate for them to show off when they went out.

The noise they made was so loud that it attracted too many people's attention, including Juanbi in the carriage.

Juanbi looked at the young man in blue, and was startled at first, then her eyes showed nervousness, and she lowered her voice and said to Gu Yanfei: "Miss, that is Prince Fang from the Duke of Ying's Mansion."

The Gu and Fang families were old friends. Prince Fang often visited the Marquis's residence. Juanbi had seen him from afar several times when she was in the capital.

Of course Gu Yanfei also saw him, his eyes were calm and deep, and his right hand hidden in his sleeve clenched unconsciously.

The face that had long been blurred over the past two hundred years became clear again at this moment.

The Prince of England, Fang Mingfeng.

Gu Yanfei knew that they would meet again and thought that she would see him in the capital like in her previous life, not here.

It turned out that in order to take her life, he actually went to Danyang City in person!

In her previous life, after discovering that she did not die in Danyang City, Fang Mingfeng did not give up. He was like a poisonous snake lurking in a dark corner, ready to strike at any time.

In an instant, the inner demon spread wildly in Gu Yanfei's heart like wildfire, and a piercing chill was revealed in his eyes.

Her right hand was clenched tightly in her sleeve, her nails digging into the tender palm. Some unforgettable memories came flooding back to her mind, flashing through it like a kaleidoscope.

"Miss Gu, do you know this Master Fang?" Master Chu turned the white porcelain teacup in his hand and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Prince?!" Xiao Shi outside the carriage raised his voice in surprise.

When he shouted like that, the squad leader and the fat runner next to him also heard it. Their faces changed and they looked at Fang Mingfeng in fear and trepidation.

It turns out that this noble young man is not only from the Duke of Ying's mansion, but also a prince! The yamen runners retreated silently, and then retreated again, staying far away.

Fang Mingfeng and his companions also noticed the commotion on the carriage side and looked over in unison.

When they saw Gu Yanfei clearly in the carriage, their faces all changed, and there were waves of shock in their eyes, with emotions such as shock, horror, suspicion, contempt, etc.

Those eyes, as if they had seen a ghost, almost said: Second Miss Gu is still alive!

Then they noticed that there was a strange man in white in the carriage.

The young man was handsome and the young girl was extremely beautiful. Just looking at their looks, they were both outstanding people. At this moment, they were sitting facing each other with a chessboard between them, as if they were old friends, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

The attendants all frowned, thinking that this second Miss Gu, who grew up in the countryside, was really shameless. How could an unmarried girl share a carriage with a man? !

This Second Miss Gu is not worthy of their prince at all! Fang Mingfeng had a cold face, looking down at Gu Yanfei in the carriage from his horse, his eyes darkened.

Fang Mingfeng rode his horse forward, his body straight as a bamboo, a polite smile on his handsome face, looking noble, proud, and distant.

"Greetings." Fang Mingfeng held the reins and bowed elegantly to Gu Yanfei, "Could this lady know Fang..."

He is the eldest son of a noble family, living a life of luxury, and is born with an aura of superiority that comes from being a child of destiny.

"Fang Mingfeng!"

A calm and indifferent female voice interrupted Fang Mingfeng, and Gu Yanfei's mood had already calmed down.

"..." Fang Mingfeng looked at her in astonishment, his eyes becoming increasingly darker.

No one had ever dared to interrupt him like this.

Gu Yanfei didn't care about Fang Mingfeng's reaction at all. His eyes were clear as he continued, "I don't like people like you."

"Our engagement is now over."

The last sentence was shocking, but Gu Yanfei said it in such a calm tone, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

The young girl in her prime is incredibly beautiful, like the bright moon among the clouds, with a noble temperament.

The surroundings fell into deathly silence.

There was a gleam of light in Master Chu's eyes, and his ring finger gently stroked the cup twice.

The squad leader next to him was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and his eyes glanced back and forth between Gu Yanfei, Master Chu and Fang Mingfeng.

The yamen runners were all shrewd men and exchanged glances with interest.

"..." Fang Mingfeng was speechless, his thin lips tightly pressed into a straight line. For a moment, his face turned blue to purple, purple to red, and red to black, with the colors changing wonderfully.

Of course, he looked down on this rude, eccentric wild girl in front of him. Compared with his Meng'er, there was a world of difference between them.

But why did she look down on him, and what right did she have to say anything bad about him! Fang Mingfeng had been a child of destiny, and he had never been humiliated like this in his life! His face sank, and he felt his face burning.

"Mr. Chu, let's go into the city."

Gu Yanfei no longer looked at Fang Mingfeng. The look he cast on Master Chu's face carried a hint of deep meaning, as if he could see through the person inside and out.

"Of course." Mr. Chu's voice was as gentle as water, and the corners of his lips still maintained a gentle arc. He ordered the driver, "Si Hai, let's go."

The coachman Sihai responded and waved his whip, and the yamen runners quickly made way for him.

The yamen runners and passers-by around looked at Fang Mingfeng with strange eyes, with sympathy and sighs in their eyes.

So what if he was the prince of a noble family? He still had his engagement broken off in public!

Xiao Shi quickly closed the door of the carriage, shutting out the onlookers' eyes.

The carriage moved towards the city, leaving Fang Mingfeng and his group frozen in place.
