She placed the bundle she was carrying on the table, then picked out the undershirt, trousers, and long pants that Gu Linchao needed to wear and handed them to him.
Gu Linchao vaguely saw her approaching figure through the screen. His breath hitched, and a vein throbbed on his forehead. Just as he was about to stop her, she stopped outside the screen. "Your Highness, I bought you some clothes and put them on the screen. Please change into them."
Gu Linchao looked up and saw that she had placed the clothes on the screen one by one.
"By the way, you probably won't be used to the cloths at the inn, so I bought you some new ones." Wen Nongnong said, turning back to the table, taking the cloths, and walking back to hang them on the screen for him.
Seeing this, Gu Linchao became even more puzzled.
She was clearly a pampered young lady from a noble family who never lifted a finger, so how could she be so experienced and considerate when out in public without servants to help her?
Her actions were nothing like those of a noblewoman unaware of human suffering; rather, they suggested she was someone who frequently roamed the martial world…
Gu Linchao was very puzzled.
Just then, the girl squatted behind the screen, reached in, and placed a pair of new boots next to the bathtub.
“I didn’t know Your Highness’s size, so I picked the largest size in the shop. It’s better to be a little bigger than a little smaller, Your Highness, please make do with it.”
Gu Linchao looked at the boots beside the bathtub, his lips pursed tightly.
She was so thoughtful; she even bought him boots.
When he got dressed and went out, the girl was sitting at the table, organizing the things she had bought.
When she saw him come out, her bright eyes lit up. "Your Highness looks so handsome in this outfit."
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then walked over with a composed demeanor.
"I have a good eye for clothes, don't I?" the girl couldn't help but boast.
Gu Linchao's lips curled slightly, and he said gently, "You should go wash up too."
"Okay, I'll go get the waiter to come up and pour some water." Wen Nongnong put down what she was holding, got up, and went out.
Gu Linchao's gaze swept across the table, and when he saw that splash of vibrant color among the scattered clothes, he paused, his handsome face slightly flushed. But he quickly remembered something, and hurried back to the screen, where he found the pocket coat among the old clothes he had just changed out of.
Looking at the bloodstains on his clothes, he hesitated for a moment, then put one hand into the bathtub to wash them.
When Wen Nongnong returned with her assistant, he had already washed the pockets clean, wrung them out, and hung them on the windowsill to dry.
The waiter quickly emptied the water from the bathtub and brought in clean hot water, which he then poured into the tub.
They only left after the bathtub was filled with hot water.
Having been caught in the rain, Wen Nongnong had already felt unwell. She had taken a change of clothes and walked to the screen.
Seeing this, Gu Linchao said at the opportune moment, "I'm going out for a walk."
"Okay," Wen Nongnong replied cheerfully.
Gu Linchao left the room, but did not go far. He leaned against a pillar in the corridor.
The inn was a mixed bag of people, and he was worried about leaving Wen Nongnong alone in the room.
Wen Nongnong knew that the current environment was not suitable, so she did not wash for too long.
When she finished dressing and opened the door, she saw Gu Linchao leaning there, wearing the dark blue robe she had bought for him. Even with his wet hair, his dignified and noble demeanor remained undiminished.
He leaned there with a detached and aloof expression, much like a deity untouched by worldly concerns.
After admiring it for a while, Wen Nongnong called out, "Husband."
Gu Linchao looked up.
The girl had washed her hair, and water droplets were still dripping from the ends. She had changed into a light green dress, and her face was clear and clean. She looked like a lotus emerging from the water, a stark contrast to her usual glamorous and beautiful appearance. At this moment, she had an ethereal and refined beauty.
