Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince-Chapter 680 Be mine, Miaoran [Bonus chapter]
680 Be mine, Miaoran [Bonus chapter]
Miaoran morning shift to tailor the dresses got over and she came to the main shop as per the owner's request. With the arrival of winter, many had come to purchase new clothes. Miaoran attended to the few customers and showed them the best collections of their recent work.
A group of three noblemen came toward her and asked for some recommendations.
"Please be seated, Young Masters," Miaoran humbly said and motioned her hand toward the chairs. She asked them about their choices of clothes and kept them in mind. After a while, she returned with several pairs of woolen overcoats with the helper, who placed them on the table.
"This one is our latest design and the newest one by our shop only in the entire capital," Miaoran started explaining them. The three noblemen keenly listened to her while checking the others as well. One of them picked up the last one and asked Miaoran about that.
"I feel the fur used in this a rare one," the nobleman said.
"Young Master is absolutely right," Miaoran asserted with a smile and asked him if he would like to buy that.
"I would love to since I prefer rare ones. If you have a few more designs like this, then I will like to purchase them as well," the nobleman said.
"There are several such designs. The price will be a bit higher, Young Master," she stated.
"Money is not the problem for me," the nobleman said.
"Gwang Jun belongs to a rich family of the capital, the Gwang family. They look after the inter-province trades of goods," the nobleman next to Gwang Jun stated.
Miaoran was astonished to learn that. The capital had surely many rich families. She asked Gwang Jun to wait a bit since she needed to ask the other two noblemen about their choices.
Several minutes later, Gwang Jun said, "You do not appear to be from the middle class," as he received his packed clothes from Miaoran.
"You are right, Gwang Jun. Did you join this place recently? Earlier, we never saw you here," the other nobleman said.
"Ahh, I am the daughter of the Hui Family," Miaoran answered. She decided not to lie about her identity since one-day people would find out. And she had no shame in doing work despite belonging to a noble family.
"The ex-wife of Chen Xiao?" the nobleman at the right of Gwang Jun said.
Miaoran did not like that remark. She did not want to be known as the ex-wife of Chen Xiao. Instead, she wanted to own her identity.
His two friends looked at him when he told them they should leave as they were done purchasing the clothes for themselves. After both of them left, Gwang Jun apologized on his friend's behalf.
"That step was indeed commendable," Gwang Jun stated.
"Pardon me?" Miaoran arched a brow at him.
"About separating your ways with an abusive man like Chen Xiao," Gwang Jun asserted and opened the pouch which had coins.
"I got help, which made it possible," Miaoran answered.
"God helps those who help themselves," Gwang Jun stated and looked at the slip on which the amount was written. He placed the three gold coins on the table and gazed at Miaoran, "I would love to know more about Miss Miaoran," he said and smiled at her.
Miaoran smiled back and said, "I do not understand the meanings of Young Master Gwang's words."
Gwang Jun inhaled deeply. "To know more about you at a personal level," he asserted, "I am not married yet."
Miaoran was stunned to hear a proposal from a random man. She opened her mouth to refuse him when Gwang Jun said, "You have fancied me. I like strong women and finding one is difficult."
"She already has one," a familiar voice fell into Miaoran's ears. She saw Feng Lao approaching them and he had worn the same woolen coat which she had made for him.
Gwang Jun gazed at Feng Lao. "Pardon me, I did not recognize you," Gwang Jun said.
"I am Shui Feng Lao and this woman," Feng Lao gazed at Miaoran, "is mine." 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
He said in such a loud voice that everyone in the shop heard them. Miaoran had stopped blinking while Gwang Jun looked at Miaoran for a brief moment.
Feng Lao had been standing near the pillar for quite a long time. He felt jealous when Miaoran smiled at Gwang Jun and continued the conversation with him. However, his patience broke when Gwang Jun asked for her hand. Only he could do that and the thought of seeing Miaoran with someone else made him feel annoyed.
"I should take my leave," Gwang Jun said and looked at the two servants, who were holding the clothing bags. When he walked away, Feng Lao asked Miaoran to follow him. She removed the apron from the shop and followed Feng Lao.
Feng Lao was waiting for Miaoran in the backyard of the shop as she was informed by the owner. The owner gave her a day off as Feng Lao had asked him to.
Miaoran saw Feng Lao had his back toward him and she gradually approached him.
"Feng Lao, I was going to refuse him. You did not have to lie this way," Miaoran said when he turned to her. "I did not do anything. He asked my name and then praised me out of the blue. Thank you for—"
Her eyes grew big as Feng Lao kissed her. He moved his head back and placed his hand on the back of her head. "I did not lie, Miaoran. Whatever I said was truth only. My insides burn when he looked at you with that gaze. Last night, I hurt you. With you, I find comfort, Miaoran. You understand me deeply, and even when I was not near you, you thought about me. I felt privileged. I want to live happily with you, so be mine, Miaoran," Feng Lao confessed his heart out. Those words came from his heart.
Miaoran ended up smiling and her eyes turned watery.
"I will love to be yours," Miaoran said. Feng Lao leaned down and captured her lips. He poured his entire feelings for her into that kiss. He longed for that love and Miaoran was the woman who gave him that love.
