Chapter 77: Separation (2)

Lu Sheng thought that Chu Sihan was the only one who came to send her off. She did not expect Shi Yi and Yun Ting to come too.

She secretly observed Chu Sihan’s face and noticed that his expression was as indifferent as usual.

The three of them rode on horses. After Chu Yun sent them to the gate, he changed his riding horse.

Lu Sheng glanced at the coachman and said to Chu Sihan, “Lord, I know how to ride.”

In her previous life when she was living on the mountain, her master had reared a white horse before. She often used it to collect goods.

Chu Sihan reined in his horse and turned to look at her.

Moments later, she frowned and asked, “You want to return to Huang Yang Town on your own?”

Lu Sheng nodded. “I can pay for the horse carriage on the spot.”

A carriage should not cost much, right?

She still had eight hundred taels. It should be enough.

“Miss Lu, the Lord bought this carriage especially for you.”

Chu Yun interrupted.

“You bought it for me?”

Lu Sheng looked at Chu Sihan in surprise.

He replied indifferently, “You come to the town frequently and it’s inconvenient for you to travel here and there, so I prepared a carriage for you. This coachman…”

He glanced at the coachman and said, “It’s alright if you don’t want him.”

The coachman was one of his men. He initially wanted him to escort the girl back to Huang Yang Town. However, so be it that she didn’t want him.

“Thank you, Lord! I can do it myself.”

Lu Sheng smiled and thanked him.

Yun Ting glanced at Chu Sihan with an ambiguous smile. His eyes revealed a hint of teasing.

Shi Yi gave a light tsk and scanned both Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng ambiguously.

Seeing Chu Sihan nod at him, the coachman hurriedly bowed and retreated silently.

Lu Sheng chuckled and sat at the spot where the coachman sat earlier. She lifted her head to look at Chu Sihan, who was on the horse’s back, and asked, “Lord, how much is this carriage?”

“No need.” He turned his head and said lightly, “It’s for you.”

This young lady had saved his life, so it was not a big deal to give her a carriage.

“Thank you, Lord!”

Lu Sheng did not care if he could see it or not. She just foolishly smiled at the back of his perfect head.

“Let’s go!”

Shi Yi shouted and left on his horse. Yun Ting followed behind him.

Chu Sihan turned his horse around and walked alongside Lu Sheng’s horse carriage. Chu Yun was at the back.

The weather was good today. The sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle.

The journey out of the city was almost an hour. However, Chu Sihan felt that it was a short time, as though he would be there in an instant.

“You can send me off here.”

Lu Sheng reined in her horse and smiled at them.

“Miss Lu, shall we send you off at a further spot?” Shi Yi asked with a smile.

Lu Sheng smiled and shook her head. “It’s alright. You’re all busy. You can’t let me delay your important tasks.”

As she spoke, her smile disappeared and her gaze landed on Chu Sihan’s face.

Dressed in green, he sat on a horse. His gaze was fixated on her, and no expression could be seen on his handsome face.

He dismounted from his horse and passed her a wooden box. Then, he said in a low voice, “Keep it carefully and take a look only when you get back.”

After Lu Sheng received the box, she smiled again and waved at him. “Lord, goodbye!”

“Goodbye!”

His voice was as cold as usual, but Lu Sheng could hear a hint of sadness in it.

“I’m leaving!”

She waved at the rest, sat up straight, and left on her carriage without turning back.

The willow leaves on both sides of the city had already fallen. Only the branches swayed in the wind.

There were two golden sparrows chirping on the branch, causing the already confused Chu Sihan to become even more confused.
