This is what it means to ruin everything by opening your mouth.
Jiang Yi wanted to take back his previous thoughts. This Xu Ning was only worthy of being a monkey in the wild.
However, despite being extremely angry, Jiang Yi remained calm and turned to signal the innkeeper to bring the warm breakfast to the table.
But when he saw his master actually serving Xu Ning himself, he instantly felt like a powder keg that had been ignited. His emotions completely lost control and he blurted out, "Master, let me serve Miss Xu. You haven't even had breakfast yet."
Xu Ning, who was biting into a bun, stopped abruptly when he heard this. Jiang Yan, however, seemed oblivious to the words and continued to place the cheese roll onto Xu Ning's plate. Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Yi with a calm gaze.
Just that one look was like a bucket of ice water poured over Jiang's head, instantly bringing him to his senses. He also realized that he had made an unforgivable mistake. He hurriedly lowered his head and quickly stepped aside, remaining silent for the entire day.
At this moment, Xu Ning felt the hierarchy and the distinct relationship between master and servant with unparalleled clarity. So, she too chose to remain silent and finish her breakfast with full concentration.
Later, under Jiang Yan's guidance, she came to the top of the snow mountain.
Jiang Yan asked the others to walk away a little. He and Xu Ning stood side by side at the highest point, overlooking the distance.
At this moment, Xu Ning felt a chill at the height. She looked down and saw the Tianshan Snow Lotus blooming right in front of them.
Tianshan Saussurea involucrata, also known as snow lotus, is an alpine plant that grows between 3,600 and 4,800 meters above sea level in the Tianshan Mountains. It is a Class II protected wild plant in China and one of the world's most precious plants.
The Tianshan Snow Lotus is a beautiful plant. Its flowers are white or pale yellow, shaped like small bowls, and its petals are very thin, paper-thin. Its leaves are green and shaped like small spoons, with serrated edges. Its stems are cylindrical, covered in fine hairs, and are green or brown.
The growing environment of Tianshan Snow Lotus is very harsh. It usually grows in mountainous areas where the climate is very cold, the air is very thin, the sunlight is very strong, and the soil is very poor.
Therefore, the Tianshan Snow Lotus, which can grow and reproduce in such a harsh environment, has very high medicinal value. It can treat many diseases such as colds, coughs, pneumonia, hepatitis, nephritis, hypertension, diabetes, etc.
"Aning, are you really not going to pick it?" Jiang Yan's voice was very soft, and soon the wind carried his voice into Xu Ning's eardrum and then took his voice away.
Xu Ning shook his head gently, gazing at the Tianshan Snow Lotus, a wave of emotion welling up in his heart. The Tianshan Snow Lotus was beautiful and tenacious, seemingly fragile, as if a gentle breeze could blow it down, yet in reality it was able to grow tenaciously on the peaks of the towering mountains.
Isn't this just like being human? We may appear fragile and brittle on the outside, but deep down we possess immense strength and resilience.
Xu Ning called the treasure chest and asked it to take a picture of the Tianshan Snow Lotus. Then she slowly turned around and started to go down the mountain.
Jiang Yan followed Xu Ning silently. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not order anyone to pick mountain snow lotus.
When they returned to the foot of the mountain, Jiang Yan's other men had already prepared some steaming food in the tent. Xu Ning's cheeks, hands, and feet had become stiff from the biting mountain wind, but after drinking a cup of warm goat's milk, he gradually regained consciousness.
Xu Ning had remained silent since descending from the snowy mountain, so Jiang Yan chose to remain silent as well. The quiet snowy mountain seemed particularly peaceful, with only the whistling wind and the gentle breathing of the two people echoing in the air.
Back at the inn, the fur traders and several skilled embroiderers Jiang Yan had contacted were already waiting. Xu Ning, unconcerned about the price, bought all the furs without hesitation. These fur traders had been approached by Jiang Yan's agents, and every piece of fur was of the finest quality.
The embroiderers showed off their specialties one after another. After careful observation, Xu Ning only kept the two with the best embroidery skills and let the rest go.
Jiang Yan was also preparing to leave. "Aning, if you need anything, just send someone to see me."
"good."
Back in the room, Xu Ning fell on the quilt, opened his eyes and asked the treasure chest: "Bao, if I give up that damn stubbornness, everything will be fine."
Xu Ning suddenly didn't understand what she was insisting on. Sometimes when she saw Jiang Yan condescending to be so kind to her, even she felt that she was ungrateful.
"Player, the treasure chest cannot understand what you mean."
"Dad, why do you have to make me marry? Why? Who is Jiang Yan? Why do you have to arrange for me to marry him?"
"Hello player, Treasure Chest doesn't understand you."
"If you can't understand, just listen. I'm not asking you to understand, just listen."
Xu Ning was discouraged and rolled over on the bed several times.
Within a few days, the embroiderer had completed all the embroidery that Xu Ning had requested. Xu Ning asked the shopkeeper to find a reliable caravan to transport the items to Happy Valley in South City. He also wrote a letter inside, asking Qi Canglan to help him return the items to the Xu family before the New Year.
Then, Xu Ning started eating mutton every day, and ordered a bunch of mutton delicacies to her room every day.
For half a month, Xu Ning felt that his breath smelled like sheep.
Before leaving, Jiang Yan met Xu Ning again. This time, he told her, "Aning, next time we meet, I'll tell you my secret. Can you please stop resisting me?"
"Jiang Shaoheng, do you really like me that much? Or is it just because you can't have me?"
"I really like you, Aning, you know that? I've known about your stay in the Western Regions for five months, but I didn't dare come. This was the place that made me feel the most pain. But I wanted to see you so much that I came. Aning, I know you have secrets, and I do too. Next time we meet, I'll tell you mine, and can you be honest with me too?"
Xu Ning frowned. She felt uncomfortable no matter how she heard this. It felt like someone was setting a flag for tragedy.
"Don't say such things. It's like saying goodbye to each other forever."
"Jiang Shaoheng, please speak nicely. It's so cold, don't talk about these things that give me goosebumps. And as for exchanging secrets, forget it. I don't like to hear secrets."
Jiang Yan choked, feeling that his sentimental remarks to Xu Ning were like playing the lute to a cow.
"Okay, listen to Aning."
"Why listen to me? You are the master of your own life. I am the master of my own life too."
Jiang Yan: He is tired. He really can’t attract this kind of straight woman.
"Hurry up and leave. Don't say things like that next time. It's easy to get into trouble. Have you read the script? If you say something like that, the person is definitely going to be in trouble. Hurry up and say 'Pah, Pah, Pah'. It's getting late. I won't see you off..."
