Chapter 168: Put It Away

Lin Mowan shook her head, smiling sweetly but somewhat distantly: "Nothing, thank you, Your Highness, you don't have to come in person for such things in the future."

Uncle Bei Cheng did not speak, but lowered his eyes, looking a little disappointed. Lin Mowan did not say anything to comfort him, but glanced at the wide-open door and said, "It's snowing, Your Highness, why don't you go in and wait?"

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Beicheng wiped away the disappointment on his face and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's the same if I wait here. If I go in rashly and get seen, it will be bad for your reputation."

"..." Lin Mowan was silent. She admitted that she was still a little moved at this moment, but then she smiled and shook her head: "It's okay. If Your Highness has anything else to say, let's go in and talk."

"No need." Gongshu Beicheng looked at her, his eyes unable to move away for a moment. He turned his head and signaled to the guard beside him, and the guard quickly brought up the things he had prepared.

"This is a cloak made of winter wool specially for you by me. It's freezing cold now, and you'll have to see the old lady off in the next few days, so you must take care of your health." As he spoke, the guard beside him had already handed the thing to Yuzhi.

Yuzhi was a little embarrassed. After all, it was not sent by Shen Weiyuan, and Lin Mowan had no intention of letting her take it. She could only stand there and dare not reach out to take it.

"No need." Lin Mowan glanced at the things beside her. Winter velvet is an extremely rare material in Rong... Country? Even in the entire continent, it is usually only worn by royal relatives and nobles. She shook her head: "I have no shortage of food and clothing. I appreciate your kindness, but this thing is too valuable. I can't accept it."

"There's nothing I can't accept." Gongshu Beicheng frowned: "If you still consider me a friend, then accept it, otherwise you just don't want to have anything to do with me anymore."

He frowned and spoke in a serious tone. Lin Mowan was at a loss for a moment. Seeing her hesitation, Gongshu Beicheng turned to look at Yuzhi: "Put the things away."

Yuzhi still didn't move, but looked at Lin Mowan beside her in embarrassment. Lin Mowan had no choice but to nod slightly. After getting a response, she awkwardly took the thing in the guard's hand.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness." Lin Mowan hurriedly thanked him. Yuzhi took the things and bowed as well.

Gongshu Beicheng nodded, and then said: "I don't have anything else to do, so I won't disturb your rest. See you later."

"See you."

Watching him get on the carriage, Lin Mowan did not try to persuade him to stay. She just looked at the cloak in Yuzhi's hand with mixed feelings. Her intuition told her that Gongshu Beicheng approached her definitely not just for love.

But deep in her heart, there was always a voice of trust ringing out, and she gradually became clear whether she should believe her or not.

Back in the house, Yuzhi put the cloak in her hand aside. Lin Mowan took off her coat, shook off the remaining snow on her body, hung it aside, and casually picked up the little Sanhua that ran to her and meowed, and walked towards the beauty bed beside her.

With the previous weight loss plan for it, this little guy has indeed lost a lot of weight, but it is still round. Holding it in my arms is not as tiring as before, but it is still not easy.

Leaning on the beauty couch, she took the furry little ball beside her and was teasing the little guy. Yuzhi was tidying up things on the side, but seemed a little absent-minded. From time to time, her eyes looked at the clothes sent by Gongshu Beicheng.

It's not that she covets him, she's just anxious. Shen Weiyuan has been busy with the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion these days and has no time to come here. She doesn't want to wait until her second master reacts and find that his girlfriend has already been poached by someone else.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Yuzhi glanced at Lin Mowan who was lying beside her, carefully stood up, picked up the clothes, and tiptoed out of the door, intending to hide it far away, preferably so that Lin Mowan would never remember it.

But as she was heading for the door, Lin Mowan suddenly turned around and asked, "Yuzhi, where is the dried fish you bought for it?" Yuzhi was startled when she heard this, and her brain almost stopped thinking. She forced herself to calm down and quickly replied, "In, in the second drawer of the cabinet over there."

Fortunately, Lin Mowan didn't notice anything unusual, and just carried the cat to get the dried fish. Yuzhi was just breathing a sigh of relief when Lin Mowan seemed to remember something and turned back to look at her: "Where are you taking this thing?"

Yuzhi heard this and her heart was lifted again. She subconsciously argued, "No..."

Lin Mowan just stared at her without turning away, so she had to compromise: "I, I'll take it and put it away..."

Her eyes dodged, and Lin Mowan hesitated for a moment, looking at her meaningfully, as if she understood her thoughts, but did not stop her, but said: "Just don't break it."

After all, it was given to me by my uncle Beicheng, and the material is pretty good. Even if I don’t wear it, I can’t tell him it’s lost when he asks about it. That would be somewhat impolite.

Seeing this, Yuzhi, who was originally a little guilty, now felt completely confident and nodded repeatedly in response: "Okay, I'll put it away right away."

Watching her cheerful back as she walked out, Lin Mowan felt helpless and amused, but she just smiled and shook her head, picked up the food from Xiao Sanhua and sat back on the couch.

This gift is not so easy to accept. They are just friends. Reciprocity is the way to make friends. She still needs to think carefully about what gift to give in return so as not to be too rude.

Anyway, she couldn't afford something as valuable as winter wool, but it didn't matter. All her things were given to her by Shen Weiyuan, so she could pick and choose and always have something presentable.

Thinking about it, she suddenly felt more at ease...

At the same time.

On the road, a carriage with the sign of Guangning Prince's Palace was slowly moving forward. Inside the carriage, seeing the dark man appearing beside him, Gongshu Beicheng had already restrained his gentleness just now. He glanced over there with his dead eyes, and his voice was also extremely cold: "I saw it all."

The dark man nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, he saw it all."

Gongshu Beicheng curled his lips and smiled with satisfaction, then asked, "Has Shen Junchi met Lin Mowan?"

This time, the dark man lowered his head and shook his head: "No, that time the one called Yuzhi came back first and took the person away, so I didn't see it."

"..." Gongshu Beicheng nodded in silence. After a long while, he frowned slightly and took out a folded portrait from his sleeve: "Secretly recruit someone to give it to him, remember to see his reaction."

"Yes."

The dark man took the folded letter with both hands, respectfully and decisively put it into his arms, lifted the curtain, and disappeared into the car...

The snow outside was getting bigger and bigger. Gongshu Beicheng exhaled a breath of mist, and his expression suddenly became a little sad: Lin Mowan, I will be able to confirm your identity soon, please don't let me down...
