Mu Chenshuang raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her.
The moonlight poured down on the man like water, his silver hair flowing, his handsome appearance unparalleled, and his golden eyes radiating a gentle light, as if a god had descended to earth.
Fu Junheng looked at the motionless woman in his arms, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "Shuang'er, have you missed me?"
A deep, mellow voice is like the sweetest wine, intoxicating the soul.
Mu Chenshuang glanced at him and said coldly, "I can cure your delusions for free."
Fu Junheng smiled lightly, "I'm not sick, there's no need for you to treat me, Shuang'er." As he spoke, he brushed a strand of hair from the woman's chest and placed it to his lips, lowered his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath, "But I miss you so much, Shuang'er." His tone was filled with deep affection and longing, and his posture was even more alluring and seductive.
Mu Chenshuang stared at him.
Fu Junheng lowered his hand. "Since Shuang'er is alone, I'll accompany you to stroll through the lantern festival."
Mu Chenshuang pushed the man's hand away, turned around, and refused, "I don't want to go."
The words had barely left his mouth.
She was lifted up horizontally in my arms.
"Fu Junheng, what are you doing? Put me down."
The man, holding the woman in his arms, leaped away from the courtyard.
Mu Chenshuang stared at him speechlessly, not leaving through the door like a thief.
Inside the Marquis's residence.
As soon as Linglong and her companions arrived at the entrance, they saw Shen Nanzhi dismounting and walking towards them.
"General Shen."
Linglong called out.
Shen Nanzhi looked at the group, knowing what they were doing out, and asked, "Didn't your young lady come with you?"
Linglong smiled and said, "Miss probably thinks we're too noisy. It's just in time that General Shen is here. General Shen can accompany Miss out for a stroll."
Shen Nanzhi nodded and said, "I'm here to see her. You guys go ahead!"
"good."
Shen Nanzhi went to the mansion alone to find Mu Chenshuang, but when he arrived at Tingzhuzi Courtyard, it was empty. In an instant, his heart clenched, and he had an extremely bad feeling.
Fu Junheng led Mu Chenshuang to the main street, where there was a bustling scene of cars and people.
The streets are lined with colorful lanterns, and fireworks light up the night sky, their brilliance like shooting stars, scattering colorful light as they fall. Colorful lanterns float on the river under the bridge, symbolizing good fortune.
Throughout the journey, Fu Junheng held onto Mu Chenshuang's hand tightly, constantly keeping an eye on their surroundings.
At this moment.
Fu Junheng released his hand and changed to a hugging posture.
Mu Chenshuang was startled. Holding hands was already her limit, and now he was actually embracing her in front of everyone.
"you……"
Before she could speak, Fu Junheng explained, "After we cross the bridge, there's Chang'an Avenue ahead. It'll be crowded, so I feel more at ease holding you like this."
Her magnetic yet gentle voice conveyed no hint of mockery, only genuine concern.
Mu Chenshuang's heart skipped a beat. She looked up at him. His handsome and charming face, and his pair of golden, bewitching eyes, appeared even more deep and captivating under the lamplight, like a deep sea. It seemed that as long as they met each other's eyes, they could drown in them and be unable to extricate themselves.
Realizing her guilty lapse in composure, she abruptly turned her gaze away, her head brushing against her fair cheeks with a faint blush.
"Whatever!"
An impatient tone.
Fu Junheng looked at her and smiled faintly, "Let's go!"
After crossing the bridge, Mu Chenshuang saw a different bustling scene. On both sides of the street, there were dazzling goods, children chasing each other with lanterns, and couples strolling around. It was a sea of people, so crowded that people were almost walking side by side.
Fu Junheng held Mu Chenshuang tightly around the waist, protecting her in his arms.
Just then, a masked child carrying a lantern chased after them. The child looked back and almost bumped into Mu Chenshuang.
"careful!"
Fu Junheng spun around with the woman in his arms and stood on the side of the street.
Mu Chenshuang leaned against the man's chest, her heart still unsettled. When she looked up, she saw a face so close to hers, eyes brimming with tenderness.
"Are you alright?" the man asked in a gentle, soothing voice.
This moment.
Mu Chenshuang felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
She quickly realized what was happening, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "It's nothing."
Even though she tried to calm herself down, her voice was still hesitant. Her heart felt like it was burning with fire, and she didn't dare to look at him anymore. She could only look away and saw the colorful lanterns across the street. A sense of anticipation inexplicably rose in her heart.
A deep, resonant male voice came from above, asking, "Want a lantern?"
Fu Junheng didn't wait for Mu Chenshuang to answer.
"Wait here for me, I'll go buy it for you."
Mu Chenshuang watched the man's back as he walked through the crowd. Among the crowd, he was the most eye-catching and prominent figure. His tall and noble figure could be seen at a glance.
Her gaze followed his retreating figure, and she even stood still, just as he had told her, waiting for him to return.
At this moment.
The woman selling candy nearby suddenly spoke up: "Young lady, is that your husband?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang suddenly came to her senses, turned her head to look at the old woman beside her, and was about to explain.
The old woman praised them, "I've never seen anyone as good-looking as you two. You're like characters from a painting, a perfect match! I can draw a couple for you with my sugar figurines. Would you like a pair, young lady?"
She should have refused outright, since the misunderstanding was too great. If Fu Junheng saw her buying these couple's candy figurines, she wouldn't be able to let him get away with it.
But she still had some inexplicable hesitation in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, a crowd suddenly surged into the street, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums resounding into the sky.
In an instant, the surging crowd parted to make way for them, and the deafening roar of the crowd echoed through the sky.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly panicked and subconsciously looked across the street, but the dragon dance team blocked her view, making it impossible for her to see the situation on the other side clearly.
