Chapter 307 My Cousin is a Married Woman
Chapter 307 My Cousin is a Married Woman
Shen Muge finally brought Ji Nuan to Fusheng Tower.
Coincidentally, Xiao Nansheng and Song Wenhao happened to be here as well.
The private rooms on the second floor, suspended above the main hall below, were built half a foot above the corridor. They were furnished with square low tables and cushions on either side. While they were called private rooms, they were actually partitioned off by screens, offering neither privacy nor soundproofing.
When Ji Nuan and Shen Muge appeared, Xiao Nansheng saw them at a glance.
He excitedly raised his hand, motioning Ji Nuan to look at where he was. If he hadn't considered the occasion and worried about disturbing others, he would have shouted at Ji Nuan and the others without caring about his image.
Ji Nuan easily noticed the hand waving so obviously, and she walked closer with Shen Muge.
"Oh, you are drinking tea here too?" Shen Muge said in surprise.
"Hmm, sit together?" Xiao Nansheng extended his hand enthusiastically. "I met Madam Song on my first outing since coming to Kaiyun Mansion. I have to say we are quite destined to meet."
The last time Xiao Nansheng called Ji Nuan "Dragon Lady" in front of Song Jinbai, he glared at her and corrected her, saying she should be called "Mrs. Song" or "Madam of the Crown Prince." Xiao Nansheng obediently changed his tone, not because he couldn't stand Song Jinbai, but because he feared someone might hear and bring disaster upon Ji Nuan. After all, the Cheng'en Mansion was still seeking revenge on Ji Nuan.
"Cousin, please sit here." Shen Muge cleverly pushed Ji Nuan to sit next to Song Wenhao, and sat down next to Xiao Nansheng.
If Xiao Nansheng and the others hadn't arrived first, Shen Muge would have suspected that he had followed them.
Xiao Nansheng's attitude towards Ji Nuan was unusual, and she sometimes worried that he might have developed inappropriate feelings for her. If that were the case, then by bringing Ji Nuan out to see Xiao Nansheng, wouldn't that be creating an opportunity for Xiao Nansheng and betraying her cousin?
Even though her cousin was annoying and always threatened to marry her to an ugly guy, he was still her cousin after all. How could she let an outsider steal his brother away?
She would never allow this to happen.
"Can't Prince Nan tolerate other people in his eyes? If I can only see my cousin's wife, then I'm not a human being?" Shen Muge moved sideways to block Xiao Nansheng's view of Ji Nuan, and said with a hint of deliberate nitpicking.
Xiao Nansheng also realized that he might have been too enthusiastic, so he quickly put away his excessive attention, poured a cup of tea for Shen Muge himself, and said with a smile, "Miss Shen, that's not the case. Come on, the Snow Orchid Queshe here is very good."
Seeing this, Ji Nuan thought it was just their daily bickering, so she called the waiter over and asked him to bring up another fruit plate.
Seeing that Ji Nuan seemed quite familiar with the place and the waiter was more respectful to Ji Nuan than to other customers, Song Wenhao asked curiously, "Is your cousin's wife a regular here?"
"I guess so. In addition to tea, Fu Sheng Lou also has very good pastries. Just order whatever you want. It's my treat." Ji Nuan said generously.
Shen Muge is still a sixteen-year-old child after all, and he naturally reveals his true nature in front of people close to him.
She shook Ji Nuan's hand and said coquettishly, "Thank you, cousin. I won't be polite then! Oh, I haven't tried the pastries from Fushenglou yet. Please recommend some to me."
Ji Nuan smiled and introduced her to the most popular cake rolls and butterfly cakes.
At this time, the waiter just brought up the fruit plate, and Shen Muge quickly ordered the two kinds of pastries that Ji Nuan had just introduced from the waiter.
The table was originally filled with the four kinds of snacks that Xiao Nansheng and his friends had ordered earlier, including melon seeds, broad beans, etc., and with the newly arrived fruit plate, cakes and tea, it was truly a dazzling array of snacks, perfect for listening to books and drinking tea.
"We will be returning to the capital in two days. When will Madam Song go to the capital again?"
Xiao Nansheng rested his elbows on his knees, supported his chin with his hands, and lazily put a peanut into his mouth.
The name "Mrs. Song" sounded so unfamiliar. When Ji Nuan was getting used to it, Shen Muge spoke.
"My cousin's wife is married. My cousin is working here. How could she possibly abandon her husband and go to the capital? Their love is stronger than gold, but the husband must follow his lead. Do you understand?"
The term "married woman" was what Song Jinbai had used to remind Shen Muge before, and now Shen Muge used it to remind Xiao Nansheng, hoping that Xiao Nansheng would stop thinking about it sooner.
Song Wenhao sneered at the side and said, "He's not married yet, how could he possibly understand these things?"
Xiao Nansheng said indifferently, "Yeah, I don't understand. Maybe I'll understand when I find a suitable girl to marry."
When Ji Nuan heard this, she said something without thinking.
"Isn't there a suitable one here?"
As soon as she said this, she was stunned.
The other three were also stunned.
