Chapter 197 A Mix of Laughter and Tears



The servant glanced at her again before saying, "Yes, but please tell me your name so I can inform you."

So Li Chang'an told the servant his name, and soon the servant rushed back, opened the gate, and respectfully welcomed the group inside.

When Li Chang'an entered the reception room, Liu Mengwan was waiting inside. Her eyes lit up when she saw him, and she immediately went to greet him, asking in her gentle voice, "Your leg should be almost healed, right? Remember to use the scar removal cream on time."

Looking at the kind-faced girl in front of him, Li Chang'an's expression warmed, and he nodded and said, "I've fully recovered. I've been using that ointment, and it's very effective."

"That's good."

Liu Mengwan nodded gently and gave Li Chang'an a faint smile.

Upon seeing the woman's face, which was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from clear water, Liang Xuanjing's eyes immediately lit up. He then launched into a conversation, saying, "Miss Liu's accent sounds like she's from the Jiangnan region. May I ask if her ancestral family is the Liu family of Suzhou?"

Hearing the clear male voice, Liu Mengwan couldn't help but smile knowingly, and then nodded slightly, saying, "Young Master's ears are quite sharp."

Upon hearing this, Liang Xuanjing immediately bowed slightly to Liu Mengwan, then stood up and said with a faint smile, "Indeed, I have heard that the Liu family has produced a master. I am honored to meet you. Oh, by the way, I have not yet introduced myself to Miss Liu. My name is Liang Xuanjing, the 'Jing' in 'mysterious and profound.'"

Seeing Liang Xuanjing's eager and attentive manner, Li Chang'an couldn't help but smile faintly, but he didn't interrupt the two of them.

"Liu Mengwan".

The woman spoke with a graceful and poised manner.

"Dreaming of tying up one's black hair, how wonderful! This name suits Miss Liu's temperament very well!"

Liang Xuanjing stroked his chin and muttered to himself for a moment, then looked at Liu Mengwan with a smile.

The woman's cheeks were tinged with a faint blush, making her look even more beautiful and alluring.

Li Chang'an and Zhuque watched silently as Liang Xuanjing chattered on and on, utterly speechless.

"I came here today specifically to express my gratitude. I would also like to invite Miss Liu to have a meal with me if she has the time."

Li Chang'an quickly interrupted Liang Xuanjing, otherwise who knows how much more this guy would have said.

Although her words were very polite, they did not feel distant.

After hearing her words, Liu Mengwan's expression returned to normal, and she readily accepted the invitation.

"Please have some tea in the hall first, and I will be there in a moment."

Afterwards, Liu Mengwan bowed slightly to everyone and then stepped out of the reception room.

"Believe it or not, she must have gone to get ready."

Liang Xuanjing looked at Li Chang'an with a grin, only to be met with a big eye roll from him.

"Don't presume to know what's going on in other girls' lives!"

Li Chang'an frowned slightly and whispered a reminder.

Although this young master Liang has always liked to let his nature run wild, this is still someone else's home, and it's his first time visiting. Why is he acting like he's very familiar with them?

That's a bit too unrestrained!

Zhuque, standing to the side, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and say, "What, you don't have the patience to wait for Taoyao-jun to get ready? But if it were Miss Liu, I bet you'd be quite interested!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Chang'an was drinking tea when he almost choked after hearing Zhuque's sharp-tongued remarks.

Then she looked at Suzaku with admiration and couldn't help but nod.

That hits the nail on the head!

But Liang Xuanjing looked quite self-righteous at this moment: "Of course, isn't it a pleasure to have the opportunity to wait for a beauty to do her makeup?"

Seeing the man's arrogant and boastful manner, Li Chang'an and Zhuque were speechless.

About an incense stick's time later, Liu Mengwan returned.

Sure enough, looking at this woman now, she has an almond-shaped face and peach-like cheeks, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes. Her pretty face is lightly made up, delicate but not gaudy, beautiful but not vulgar.

When they arrived at the entrance of Xikelou, Liang Xuanjing even went so far as to help Liu Mengwan lift the carriage curtain. If it weren't for her personal maid's quick reflexes, he probably would have taken her hand and helped her out of the carriage.

However, Liang Xuanjing did not mind this, and then went to help Li Chang'an.

"Hey, I don't need anyone to help me!"

Li Chang'an waved his hand and then nimbly jumped down from the carriage.

Liang Xuanjing chuckled. Then, feigning mystery, he sighed and whispered to Li Chang'an, "I just have to be fair to everyone..."

But the next second his expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and then he was pulled backward and thrown out.

"Waaaaah..."

Liang Xuanjing couldn't help but cry out in surprise, feeling his footing slip and about to fall. Fortunately, Liu Mengwan, who was closest to him, caught him.

"Thank you so much! Thank you so much, Miss Liu, for your help..."

After finally regaining his balance, Liang Xuanjing thanked Liu Mengwan somewhat awkwardly. Even though he was a thick-skinned person, he was still a little embarrassed.

He then angrily went to find the culprit who had suddenly appeared and caused him such a huge embarrassment.

But when she looked up, she met a sharp gaze.

Upon seeing the man's face, Liang Xuanjing immediately felt a chill run down his spine and thought to himself that something was wrong. He then feigned composure and said, "I wondered which hero it was, but it's the Regent. What's going on today? I keep running into acquaintances everywhere I go..."

Although Liang Xuanjing had a carefree and cheerful expression, Feng Beichuan's face remained dark and brooding, his gaze as if he wanted to tear the other person to pieces.

"Who says we're acquaintances? Don't try to get close to me!"

Feng Beichuan spat out those words through gritted teeth, showing no respect whatsoever to Liang Xuanjing.

Speaking of which, it's quite a happy thing to run into Li Chang'an here after not seeing him for a few days. Feng Beichuan was originally planning to go over and greet him with a big smile, but unexpectedly, this unexpected person appeared out of nowhere.

Feng Beichuan had just witnessed Liang Xuanjing and Li Chang'an's intimate interaction, which was enough to make him so angry he almost vomited blood, but who knew that the guy was still grinning like an idiot.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? Meeting is fate, and as the saying goes, familiarity breeds contempt! Let me count how many times we've met..."

As he spoke, Liang Xuanjing began to count on his fingers and actually started calculating.

This left everyone present, except for Feng Beichuan, somewhat at a loss for words, neither laughing nor crying.

Feng Beichuan snorted coldly, too lazy to pay any more attention to this shameless person, and turned to look at Li Chang'an, saying, "Your leg injury is healed? How come you've run around again after only a few days!"
