Chapter 48: Greeting
He wanted to go to the back and throw away some snacks to greet the guests.
As soon as he opened the bead curtain, he saw the second young lady standing here. He knew that the second young lady was timid and afraid of strangers. There were so many people here and she would not go out.
When she saw the official, she raised her eyebrows, took a step towards him, and spoke in a low voice in front of him. "Can you do me a favor?"
"Second mistress, please speak." The official took great care of this second mistress. As long as she asked, he would be happy to do it.
Shen Mengyan blushed and whispered something before turning around and running away. After hearing this, the official was a little dazed and looked at her back with a hesitant look on his face.[
However, he still turned around to get some snacks, and when he returned to the hall, he took the time to say something in Yuchi Xuanjing's ear, bringing Shen Mengyan's words to him.
Yuchi Xuanjing listened to the official's words, nodded, said hello to Shen Tao, and walked to the yard alone.
The yard of Shen Tao's house is not big, but it is still exquisite. There is a beautiful view from the semicircular arch, and there is a lotus pond in the middle. However, the lotus flowers are not in bloom at this time, and there are only a few red carps swimming around in the pond.
Shen Mengyan stood by the pool, lowering her head and squeezing her fingers. She didn't know if Yuchi Xuanjing would come, but she still fully expected him to come.
When she heard the footsteps, she didn't dare to raise her head. She just turned slightly and stared at the floor in front of her. When she saw a pair of black shoes appearing in front of her, she slowly raised her head little by little and looked up.
Yuchi Xuanjing saw her as soon as he stepped into the courtyard. He was always impressed by beautiful women. Although Shen Mengyan was not as dignified and soft as Shen Menghan, her big, watery eyes were very alluring.
She gave him the impression that she was very timid. She would look frightened when Qian Xiaorui glanced at her casually. Today she was so bold to ask him to meet alone! He was curious about what she wanted to see him for?
When he came to Shen Mengyan, he saw her head slowly raised bit by bit. He was not in a hurry and stood waiting for her to raise her face. Shen Mengyan raised her face with a shy and nervous expression. Looking into his eyes, she blushed and lowered her head, covering her rapidly beating heart with one hand.
"See you, Your Majesty!" She bowed slightly, but she still remembered to salute.
"You don't need to be polite, Miss Shen, what do you want from me?" Yuchi Xuanjing showed a bright smile, although the one facing him was a bun.
"I, I want to..." Shen Mengyan mustered up her courage, took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked directly into Yuchi Xuanjing's eyes. "I want to thank you for saving my life in Tianxiahu!"
After saying that, she immediately lowered her head, almost touching her chest with her chin.
"Oh, that thing! If other people were passing by, they would have gone into the lake to save others. Miss Shen, you don't have to remember it!" He had forgotten such a small thing long ago. He didn't think about it at all. Then she would have the courage to come and thank him. Looking at Shen Mengyan's look, he realized today that timid women are so cute!
"Anyway, I just want to thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Mengyan pinched her fingers and saw someone coming from the corner of her eyes. She was startled and turned around to run away without even bothering to say hello to Yuchi Xuanjing.
"Hey!" Yuchi Xuanjing was confused by her actions. He just said a few words and then ran away. How scary is he?
