Gu Linchao paused for a moment, seeing that she was holding peaches in her hands and couldn't free her hands, so he had no choice but to hold the candied hawthorn to her mouth.
Wen Nongnong took a big bite and ate half of the candied hawthorn.
Her mouth was small, and the candied hawthorn immediately made her cheeks bulge.
This reminded Gu Linchao of a squirrel gnawing on a pine cone.
So... adorable.
A ripple appeared in Gu Linchao's dark eyes.
Wen Nongnong was completely unaware that her eating manners reminded a certain prince of a squirrel, and she continued to eat happily.
The red candy, stuck on her already luscious lips, gave her a decadent look.
Gu Linchao paused, then looked away.
Afterwards, Wen Nongnong bought some dry food for the journey and returned to the inn with Gu Linchao.
The two did not linger; after packing their clothes and medicine, they planned to return to the capital.
However, Wen Nongnong couldn't drive, and Gu Linchao's left arm was injured, so she was in a dilemma.
"How about we hire a driver?" she suggested.
"No need, I can drive," Gu Linchao said.
“But your hand is injured,” Wen Nongnong said hesitantly.
"It's alright, I can use my right hand," Gu Linchao said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong immediately looked at him with admiration, "Your Highness is so amazing, you can actually drive a carriage with one hand."
Gu Linchao wanted to say that it was nothing, but when he saw the unreserved admiration in the girl's eyes, he felt a strange sense of joy.
He smiled, took the bundle from her hand, and was the first to leave the inn.
Wen Nong Nong followed happily behind him.
As they left the inn, Wen Nongnong felt a pang of reluctance as she looked at the black horse that the waiter had led over—the one that had carried them from Juezhou and followed them all the way here.
"Your Highness, may I take it with me?"
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."
Wen Nongnong was taken aback when she saw him agree so readily, and asked, "How should I bring it?"
Gu Linchao didn't speak, but looked at the waiter and said, "Could you please help me out?"
"Yes." The waiter was somewhat flattered.
This young man was not only handsome, but also had a noble air about him. He had hardly spoken to him since arriving at the inn, so the sudden request for his help surprised and flattered the young man.
With the help of his companions, Gu Linchao quickly replaced the horse pulling the carriage with this black horse.
Wen Nongnong suddenly realized, happily stroked the black horse's mane, then leaned close to its ear and whispered, "From now on, you'll follow me, and I'll definitely treat you to the best of everything."
As if in response to her, the black horse snorted.
She was whispering to the dark horse here, unaware that Gu Linchao had overheard every word.
He looked at the girl and chuckled. Did she really think the horse could understand her?
"Young master, what about this horse..." the waiter asked from the side.
"This horse is for you," Gu Linchao said.
The waiter thanked him happily, saying, "Thank you, young master and young lady."
"You're welcome, you're welcome," Wen Nongnong replied for Gu Linchao.
Gu Linchao glanced at her but didn't say anything.
Wen Nongnong boarded the carriage herself, then took the bundle from Gu Linchao and put it in the carriage. After a short while, she turned around and got out, sitting down in the driver's seat.
Gu Linchao was taken aback. "Why don't you sit inside?"
“I want to sit with the Prince,” Wen Nongnong said matter-of-factly.
Gu Linchao had no choice but to refrain from further persuasion.
After spending the past two days together, he has gained a better understanding of his little princess.
She may appear delicate, but she is actually quite resourceful and not your average young lady. She is intelligent but not foolish, and she has her own insights. Sometimes, the courage she displays can make many men feel inferior.
She is not the kind of woman who can be bound by rules and regulations.
However, she's not bad this way.
Thinking of this, a smile crept onto his lips.
