Chapter 434: Relying Slowly and Deeply on You

After Xu Ziling finished her meal, she brought Zuiying back to her room.

Xu Ziling let out a quiet yawn, then turned to Zuiying and said, “here are two couches. We’ll both share one and sleep for a bit.”

“But…”

“It’s not like I’m making you lay in a bed of nails. Why must you refuse? In the afternoon, I want to take you out and it’s going to be tiring, so let’s get a good rest.”

In the end, Zuiying had no choice but to lay down and sleep on the nearby couch.

As Xu Ziling lied down, she took a few sneak glances at Zuiying and smiled. Without knowing it, she drifted off.

When Zuiying woke up, Xu Ziling was still asleep so all he could do was lie on the couch in boredom whilst waiting for her to wake up. However, after half an hour had passed, she was still asleep.

Zuiying contemplated for a moment, then got up and walked over to Xu Ziling. “Young Lady, it’s about time to wake up now!” He cried.

Xu Ziling slowly opened her eyes. When her lovable, charming face saw Zuiying, a sudden smile formed.

Zuiying was left stunned at the sight of her. Xu Ziling didn’t look at all like her usual, unruly self. In fact, he thought she looked beautiful beyond compare. Actually, she looked pretty innocent and captivating when she didn’t put on an evil look on her face.

Xu Ziling stood up groggily. Her wobbly frame wanted to find something to lean on, and so without knowing it, she fell on top of Zuiying.

Zuiying was immediately retreated a few steps in shock, causing Xu Ziling to accidentally almost fell over. Instantly upset, she walked over to Zuiying and raised her hand, wanting to slap him across the face.

Zuiying caught Xu Ziling’s wrist and coldly cried, “I didn’t do anything wrong. You can’t be like this.”

Xu Ziling raised her foot in an attempt to kick Zuiying, but he miraculously dodged it.

Having failed, Xu Ziling coldly ordered Zuiying, “Hug me. Otherwise, I’ll chop your brother up!”

Zuiying gritted his teeth furiously, then tightly hugged Xu Ziling.

Xu Ziling leaned into Zuiying’s chest, revealing a faint smile on her face. She liked how it felt in this shadow guard’s embrace. It felt really comfortable.

In the afternoon, browsed the streets with five to six servants behind her, as she sat in the sedan chair.

Just when Xu Ziling stepped out of the sedan chair, a vulgar-looking son of a high official came forward to hit on her.

“Young Lady Xu, long time no see and you’ve grown more beautiful and charming.”

Xu Ziling smiled gracefully at the man and replied, “Oh it’s Chen Yifei, the minister of revenue’s second son! It’s nice to see you!”

Chen Yifei couldn’t help but feel delighted. “Young Lady Xu, I wonder why you’re out today,” he said with a brimming smile on his face.

“I’ve just come out to casually window shop. It’s nothing important,” Xu Ziling said with a smile.

“That’s great! I heard that a new jewelry store with three floors will open today just ahead. I was about to head there myself for a gander. If Young Lady Xu doesn’t mind, how about you join me?” Chen Yifei’s smile was as warm as the spring breeze, which made it difficult to refuse him.

“Alright. I’d like to go with Mr. Chen,” said Young Lady Xu with a faint smile.

Whilst Xu Ziling and Chen Yifei talked and walked in front, Zuiying and dozens of servants followed behind them.

Zuiying saw how happy Xu Ziling and Chen Yifei were chatting and for some reason, felt annoyed. He secretly called Xu Ziling shameless for flirting with a man out on the streets.

To his surprise, after just a few steps, yet another man stopped in front of Xu Ziling. The man wore an outfit with embroidered bamboo and seemed smart and genteel.

“Young Lady Xu, nice to meet you!” Said the man with a gentle smile and cupped fists.

Xu Ziling wore a beautiful and charming smile. “Mr. Yang, I have known about your highly revered reputation. I never thought that I’d have the fortune of seeing you today.”

“Young Lady Xu, you are quite the sweet talker,” said Mr. Yang with a smile.
