Mu Nanzhi, just seeing that name in Bian Suwen’s message made Wang Haoran’s heart stir, because after that incident the other day, he had chatted with Shao Wanwan and asked who that woman was.
From that conversation, he learned the woman’s name was Mu Nanzhi, and she was extremely close with Bian Suwen, so the person Bian Suwen mentioned now had to be the very same woman Shao Wanwan had dragged into a pit.
Once he pieced that together, several doubts that had been hanging in his mind finally untangled, and the whole situation suddenly made a lot more sense.
Qin Fan had said yesterday that his peach blossom luck was approaching, and that he would run into a beauty, so Wang Haoran naturally understood that the so-called peach blossom could not be Feng Xuansu, because they already had the bond of husband and wife.
He was curious who the so-called beauty would be, and now it looked like it was probably Mu Nanzhi, yet there was still a problem that was hard to ignore.
Mu Nanzhi was with Bian Suwen, and he was here with Feng Xuansu, so if they actually ran into each other, then his trouble would be enormous, and this could not be called peach blossom luck at all, because it would be a fright scare instead.
“Who are you messaging?” Feng Xuansu asked because she saw him fiddling with his phone while walking.
“My classmate,” Wang Haoran replied without changing his expression, and he added another sentence right away, “A guy.”
Feng Xuansu felt quietly pleased inside because he rushed to explain so quickly, which made it seem like he cared about how she felt. As they continued forward, she glanced at the storefronts along the road and said, “Why are there so many shops selling old-style clothes here?”
“Is it expensive?” Feng Xuansu asked, and her gaze lingered on the clothes displayed inside those shops.
“Money is a small matter, and if you are interested, then we can go try,” Wang Haoran said, because he could already see what she was thinking.
Around Muwang Pavilion, plenty of tourists walked around wearing ancient costumes, so it was not unusual at all, and Feng Xuansu immediately suggested, “Then let us do it together.”
“Alright,” Wang Haoran agreed, because if they changed their look, even if they ran into someone familiar, it would be less likely they would be recognized at a glance.
He scanned the area once, then walked into a shop that looked a bit more upscale, because the quality of these outfits varied a lot, and the cheaper ones looked awkward and felt uncomfortable when worn.
He was not short on money, so he naturally preferred something with better fabric, and since the shop offered both rentals and brand new purchases, he did not even consider renting, because who knew how many people had worn those clothes before him. The shop had many styles, and it even had dragon robes, yet he felt wearing one would look embarrassingly silly, so he did not want that at all.
After browsing for a moment, he picked a scholar outfit that matched his temperament, along with a square cap and a folding fan, because the cap could hide his short hair so it looked less out of place, and the fan could cover his face at a critical moment if he needed to avoid being recognized.
Feng Xuansu chose a pale pink hairpin dress, and the two of them went into the fitting rooms to change. Then, after Wang Haoran paid, they walked out together.
The moment Feng Xuansu stepped outside, she stopped and spun lightly in place, letting her skirt flutter up before it settled back down, and she looked at him with bright eyes that seemed to carry light as she asked, “Do I look good?”
Her glance was so lively and dazzling that Wang Haoran felt a sudden heat surge in his chest, and he was about to answer when he heard the sound of a car losing control and smashing into the roadside barrier.
He turned his head and saw the male driver did not even bother checking the car, because his eyes were fixed on Feng Xuansu instead, and similar scenes were happening all around them, with some people walking straight into trees, and others freezing mid-step as if someone had cast a holding spell on them.
The one responsible for all of it was Feng Xuansu, and Wang Haoran could only sigh inwardly that she truly deserved the title of a calamity-level female lead, because that kind of attraction was absurd, and only someone like Tantai Yaoyue might be able to compete with her.
At the same time, he felt an unmistakable satisfaction rise in him because this breathtaking beauty was his wife.
As that thought surfaced, another one followed close behind, because his situation with Feng Xuansu had been dragging on for quite a while now, and it felt like he should finally put it on the agenda, yet he also wondered how he could confirm their relationship properly without making the house explode.
For a moment, a ridiculous plan even flashed through his mind, like sneaking over at midnight and pretending to sleepwalk, then denying everything the next morning, yet he pushed that nonsense down quickly and said, “You look good, you look very good.”
“You are so perfunctory, and I bet you do not think I look that good at all,” Feng Xuansu said, looking wronged.
Wang Haoran complained in his heart because he wanted to tell her he was already boiling over and could barely keep himself composed, yet he obviously could not say something that shameless out loud, so he bent slightly and pointed toward Muwang Pavilion as he said, “Let us go, we can take a look over there.”
Not long after they left the clothing shop, Bian Suwen and Mu Nanzhi arrived outside the very same store, because they had finished boating and wandered over.
Bian Suwen suddenly proposed, “Let’s go inside and look around,” and Mu Nanzhi did not object, so the two of them went in together.
Bian Suwen was in a good mood and wanted to change outfits and take some photos as souvenirs, then after turning around for a bit, she suggested they wear matching sister outfits, specifically the looks of Little White and Little Green.
A short while later, they were dressed and ready, with Mu Nanzhi in a white dress and Bian Suwen in a green dress, because Bian Suwen was slightly older and should have worn the elder sister outfit, yet it did not fit her well, while the younger sister outfit fit just right.
Mu Nanzhi was a bit taller, so the white outfit suited her perfectly, and after they left the shop, they headed toward Muwang Pavilion to take photos.
On the other side, Wang Haoran and Feng Xuansu were standing on an ancient bridge in front of Muwang Pavilion, using the pavilion as their background while a passerby helped take their pictures, yet Wang Haoran remained on guard the entire time.
He already knew Bian Suwen was here too, so to avoid a collision, he had to stay alert, and before long, he really did spot two figures in the distance, Bian Suwen and Mu Nanzhi, moving in this direction.
The two of them were dressed like snake spirits, and it was obvious they were coming to take photos here as well, which instantly made things troublesome, so Wang Haoran was thinking about pulling Feng Xuansu to another spot when Feng Xuansu’s phone suddenly rang.
Feng Xuansu had been smiling, yet after she answered the call, her expression immediately turned gloomy. “My elder sister wants to talk to me about something related to Fengxi Sect, and she wants me to go right away, so I have to leave,” she said with a frown.
Wang Haoran felt delighted inside because this was basically creating a perfect chance for him to run into Mu Nanzhi, and he could not help thinking that Qin Fan really was frighteningly accurate, since the peach blossom luck was about to arrive.
On the surface, he still acted regretful and said, “It is fine, we can come again next time,” and he added, “Do you want me to take you back?”
“No, you can stay and play a bit longer, and I will just take a taxi back myself,” Feng Xuansu said, because she did not want to spoil his mood. Then she waved at him and jogged toward the main road.
Wang Haoran watched her leave, then he lifted his gaze into the distance and looked toward Bian Suwen and Mu Nanzhi, and his eyes grew a bit sharper, as if he was already preparing for what was about to happen.
