“Thirteen, what are you looking at?”
“Looking at how pretty Ningning is.” Wenren Zong took out a palm-sized brocade box and slid it towards her, “This is for you.”
“What?” Jiang Ning opened the box, inside was a jade bracelet with gold inlays.
Resplendent and exquisite to the utmost degree.
“It’s really beautiful.” Jiang Ning lifted up the bracelet and said, smiling.
“I think this bracelet suits Ningning very well.” Wenren Zong smiled, “Let me put it on for you.”
“Such a valuable gift, I’m afraid it’s beyond what I deserve.”
“Ningning deserves the best things in the world, let alone just a bracelet. It’s nothing really. I came upon it and thought Ningning would look good wearing it, that’s why I brought it.” He took the bracelet, clasped her hand with his left, and gently slipped the bracelet onto her wrist.
Jiang Ning’s skin was white as snow. The shimmering golden gemstone bracelet made her look even more dazzlingly beautiful.
Jiang Ning raised her hand: “Does it look good?”
Wenren Zong looked at her face and murmured, “Truly beautiful.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “Are you complimenting me or the bracelet?”
“In my eyes, Ningning is the most beautiful, the best.”
“Thirteen, your ability to make people happy is completely different from your looks.”
Wenren Zong laughed, “How do I appear to you? Stern, serious, inflexible?”
“Not really, more like a straight-laced official. I didn’t expect you could make people happy.”
“It’s not that I know how to make others happy, I just want to make Ningning happy.”
“I’m hungry.”
“Oh, alright.” Wenren Zong immediately called for the waiter, “Bring up the bass I ordered yesterday, and add a few tasty dishes, something light.”
“Please wait a moment, sir, I’ll be right back.”
The waiter quickly turned and left.
Shortly after, a pot was brought up, with charcoal fire still burning underneath. Once the lid was lifted, hot steam continued to bubble up from inside.
Wenren Zong picked a piece of fish and put it in Jiang Ning’s bowl, then looked at her gently, “Try it.”
“Thank you.”
Jiang Ning rolled up her sleeves and also picked up her chopsticks. She put a piece of fish in her mouth.
“How is it?”
“The fish is very fresh.”
“Yes.”
“The fish is fine, but the flavor is somewhat lacking.”
“This bass from Lakeview Pavilion is already the best in Chang’an City.”
“That’s because you have not tried the bass I cook.” Jiang Ning laughed, “When I get a chance, I’ll make it for you.”
“Really?” Wenren Zong’s eyes lit up, “How about tomorrow?”
Jiang Ning chuckled, “I didn’t realize you could be so impatient.”
Wenren Zong’s fair face showed a hint of embarrassment, “I just want to be able to see Ningning every day.”
Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback, she lowered her eyes and quietly ate her fish.
Wenren Zong continued to pick fish for her.
Jiang Ning laughed, “You should eat too.”
“I am satisfied just watching Ningning eat.” Wenren Zong said with a laugh, “This bass is good for a woman’s body, you should eat more.”
After they finished eating, Xiaoman still hadn’t returned.
Jiang Ning looked outside.
Wenren Zong got up and extended his hand, “Come, let’s go out and look.”
Jiang Ning put her hand in his palm.
Wenren Zong firmly held her hand, leading her out of the private room, down the stairs, and into the main hall.
Xiaoman was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Ning frowned.
Xiaoman was usually obedient and would never run off without asking her first.
“Thirteen, help me look for Xiaoman.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll have someone find her right away.” Wenren Zong immediately ordered one of his followers to inquire about Xiaoman’s whereabouts.
Soon, they got some information from a waiter. Xiaoman had gone northward following a woman..
