At that moment, the setting sun slanted into the guest room, casting its afterglow upon Mu Jin, draping her in a golden halo that was both warm and beautiful.
Looking at the silent Mu Jin, Nangong Min nervously forgot to breathe.
After a long while, Mu Jin raised her eyes and said to Nangong Min, "You've been by my side for a long time, you should know that I can't tolerate even the slightest imperfection."
Upon hearing Mu Jin's words, Nangong Min stiffened, his face turning deathly pale.
Seeing him like this, Mu Jin chuckled, took out a handkerchief to wipe Nangong Min's eyes, and finally curved her lips into a smile.
“I have never doubted your feelings for me. To this day, I still hold fast to the promise I made to you in that cave. As long as your grandmother truly blesses us, nothing else will affect my determination to be with you.”
Hearing Mu Jin say this, Nangong Min was as happy as a child. He held Mu Jin's hand even tighter and said sincerely and affectionately, "Ah Jin, believe me, Grandmother will definitely bless us."
Mu Jin nodded slightly, a smile curving her lips: "Crying and laughing at the same time, you're so silly..."
Nangong Min didn't think there was anything wrong with his appearance in front of Mu Jin: "Ah Jin, I'm just so happy that you're still giving me a chance."
Mu Jin could hear that Nangong Min's voice was trembling slightly with joy and excitement.
With a loud rumble, Mu Jin's stomach rumbled at just the right moment. The aroma of food wafting in from outside the window made Mu Jin, who was already hungry, instinctively protest.
The rumbling of her stomach due to hunger made Mu Jin feel both embarrassed and annoyed. She glared at Nangong Min with a disgruntled expression.
"It's all your fault! I'm starving after talking for so long."
Nangong Min smiled, took Mu Jin's hand, and said to her, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Come on, I'll take you out to eat something delicious."
At this time, the town of Xianren was just beginning to light up, and the streets were bustling with activity, with some shops hanging colorful lanterns.
The streets were packed with people, making it impossible for vehicles to pass; people could only walk.
Nangong Min held Mu Jin's hand and asked her gently, "Is there anything you'd like to eat, Mu Jin?"
Mu Jin smiled and replied, "Just now in the guest room, I seemed to smell the aroma of wontons. I want to eat some wontons."
Nangong Min smiled and said hello to Mu Jin, then turned around and looked around the surrounding streets. He found that there was indeed a small stall selling wontons to their left.
The stall owner was busy cooking wontons for customers. Judging from the number of customers gathered around the wonton stall, it was clear that the owner's skills were quite good.
Nangong Min took Mu Jin's hand and walked to the vendor selling wontons.
"Boss, are there any seats left? Bring us two bowls of wontons," Nangong Min asked.
"Yes, yes, please follow me, gentlemen."
The owner of the wonton shop led Nangong Min and Mu Jin to an empty table at the very back of the stall.
He quickly wiped the table clean with a rag, then cleared away the dishes left by the previous guests, and invited the two to sit down.
"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. I will cook two bowls of wontons for you right away."
"Thank you for your trouble," Nangong Min said to the wonton shop owner, who then turned and went off to work.
Nangong Min turned to look at Mu Jin and said, "Does A Jin usually like to eat these street wontons? I remember you took me to eat wontons in the market when we were in the capital."
In the present world, Mu Jin lived in an orphanage since she was a child. When she was in school, she would always hear her classmates talking about how their families would take them out to eat wontons on weekends.
Her classmates would always describe how delicious the wontons were. Back then, a bowl of wontons only cost three yuan, which wasn't expensive. But as children in an orphanage, they didn't have any pocket money to buy a bowl of wontons to enjoy.
Every day after school, as she passed the wonton stall, watching the vendor serve customers a steaming bowl of wontons, she would always feel a mixture of envy and longing to taste the delicious wontons that her classmates talked about.
It wasn't until high school that Mu Jin earned her first prize money through part-time work.
She used the money to order a bowl of wontons for herself at a wonton stall on the street; it was the first time she had ever eaten wontons.
The wontons must have tasted good back then, so much so that every time she received a scholarship, she would go to that wonton stall and reward herself with a bowl of wontons.
Rather than saying she loved eating wontons, it would be more accurate to say that bowl of wontons was simply a childhood obsession for Mu Jin'er.
"Ah Jin?"
Seeing Mu Jin lost in thought, Nangong Min softly called Mu Jin's name.
Mu Jin then snapped out of her thoughts.
"Hmm? I like it! The wontons are quite delicious," Mu Jin replied.
Nangong Min smiled and said, "There is an old nanny by my grandmother's side who makes very delicious wontons. She often made them for me when I was a child. When I return to the Nangong Divine Sect this time, I will learn from her. That way, I can make them for you whenever you want to eat them, okay?"
Mu Jin smiled slightly but did not respond.
Seeing that Mu Jin did not respond to him, Nangong Min felt a little disappointed.
Just then, the owner of the wonton shop brought the cooked wontons to the two of them.
After thanking the owner, Nangong Min quickly picked up a wonton from the steaming soup bowl, blew on it, and offered it to Mu Jin's lips.
Mu Jin felt somewhat uncomfortable with Nangong Min suddenly feeding her in front of outsiders.
She paused for a moment, then realized what was happening. With a smile, she picked up her chopsticks, took the wontons Nangong Min handed her, and thanked him.
Mu Jin put the wonton in her mouth and chewed slowly, saying, "Delicious!"
Nangong Min felt somewhat embarrassed because Mu Jin refused his offer to feed him.
