Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1282 - 1288: Brother Ying Looks for Someone (1)

The man stiffened briefly upon hearing Xiang Yun’s voice, and then slowly turned around.

When he saw that handsome and elegant face, Xiang Yun’s eyes widened in surprise, "Master Situ, is it really you?"

Brother Parrot’s eyes paused on her stunned little face for a second, then he looked away, laughed and said, "What a coincidence, Young Madam. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other. How have you been?"

Xiang Yun nodded, still visibly excited, "Yes, I am fine, but... that... is it you?"

Situ Changge remained silent for awhile then suddenly looked in the direction behind her and said softly, "Young Madam, your maid is looking for you."

Xiang Yun turned around and saw Cui Wen and Cui Lu rushing over with a veil and cloak in their hands.

"Young Madam, why did you suddenly run out alone? You gave us quite a scare..."

As Cui Wen spoke, she put the gauze hat on Xiang Yun’s head and Cui Lu, also busy, draped the cloak on her and whispered into her ear, "Young Madam, please go back to the carriage quickly. Standing on the street talking to a man like this is improper—it could tarnish your reputation."

Without waiting for Xiang Yun to respond, they helped her start walking back.

With the two girls supporting her, Xiang Yun helplessly walked toward the carriage. As she was about to get in, she couldn’t help but look back in the direction of Situ Changge only to see the man still standing amid the bustling street, his stark, towering figure like a crane amongst chickens.

Xiang Yun quietly moved her lips, silently asking, "Is it you?"

Separated by the veil, he couldn’t see her expression, and Xiang Yun didn’t expect him to see it, nor did she expect him to reply, yet she couldn’t help but do so.

However, as if by a telepathic connection, he guessed her thoughts. He subtly nodded, a gesture that served as an answer.

Although the rules of the Ci Yue Gang were strict, forbidding members from casually revealing their identity and martial arts abilities, he chose to defy these rules and answered her—all because he couldn’t bear to see her anxious and unresolved expression, nor could he bear to refuse her face, which was so excited and cautiously hopeful.

Her face was the most beautiful one he had ever encountered, even though the world claimed that the first beauty of the Great Jin Nation was the current Empress Dowager. However, he disagreed.

True, the features of the Empress Dowager were more delicate than hers, and her skin whiter and more tender. But behind those stunning eyes seemed to hide a soul of an older age, always exuding a maturity and steadiness that did not match her years.

Unlike her, she was always so charming—simple, forthright, vibrant. When happy, her eyes curved into crescents and she laughed showing her white adorable teeth; when angry, she puffed her round little bun face and shouted, never hiding her feelings; when excited, tears streamed down her face; when angry, she could grab a liquor bottle and rush out to fight someone; even in danger, she still made sure others were careful...

Such a woman met all his aesthetic standards for a female. Alas, she was not free nor unwed, and though he might not encounter such a woman again in this lifetime, he was not the type to forcefully take what he wanted. Since she was married, all he could do was bury his feelings deep inside, only to confess his melancholy and endless longing to the moon during solitary drinking sessions.

In his mind, such a splendid woman deserved all her husband’s love and tenderness. jedoch, from what he knew, her husband did not love her, but rather drove her away because of a scheming woman. If it weren’t for his impulsive decision to secretly see her that night, she would have already become a lost soul under the knife of that scheming woman...
