246: Awkward...

Awkward...

Given her exquisite lifestyle, the beautiful lady set the standard equally high for Feng Wu. Everything had to be perfect, which meant that taking a bath was a very time-consuming process.1

Feng Xun had been standing outside the whole time.

He hadn't wanted to intrude on the warm atmosphere in Feng Wu's family. Once Feng Wu started her bath, it was even more inappropriate for him to go in. Hence, he had no choice but to go on waiting.

He waited until Feng Wu came out of her bath, all clean and refreshed.

Feng Xun only knocked on the door when he heard Feng Wu's voice inside.

Granny Zhao answered the door. Seeing that it was Feng Xun, she asked, "Young Lord Feng, how may I help you?"

Feng Wu knew all along that Feng Xun was outside. However, she had been deliberately keeping her distance from Jun Linyuan and his people after what happened the day before. Hence, she kept Feng Xun waiting on purpose, hoping that he would leave on his own.

"Is Xiao Wu here?" Feng Xun asked politely.

Inside, Feng Wu rolled her eyes.

Couldn't he just cut to the chase? She could only decide if she was at home or not after knowing why he was here.

Feng Xun had made a great impression on Granny Zhao and she warmly invited Feng Xun in right away. "Yes, she's here. Please come in."

The bath cleansed Feng Wu of all the sweat and fatigue and she looked like a new person.

Fair-skinned and with features as pretty as a picture, Feng Wu looked even more stunning with a little bit of makeup on.

Granny Zhao wished she could show off Feng Wu to the entire world, instead of keeping her mistress shut away from everyone.

Looking up, Feng Xun was also stunned by Feng Wu's beauty.

"Enjoying the view?" Feng Wu waved a slender index finger in front of his face.

"Ahhh —"

Only then did Feng Xun return to himself. "Well —"

"Why are you here?" Feng Wu frowned a little. She would never go see Jun Linyuan again after what happened yesterday. No, she wouldn't. What excuse should she give now…

While Feng Wu was racking her brain, Feng Xun spoke.

He got right to the point. "Xiao Wu, my aunt woke up! Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to examine her today? Why didn't you go see her?"

Feng Wu looked baffled.

Feng Xun was confused. "Why are you giving me that look? You can't go check on my aunt now?"

Feng Wu was speechless.

She had assumed all along that Feng Xun was going to take her to Jun Linyuan, but as it turned out, he was here for Mrs Ning…

She had racked her brain to come up with an excuse to turn him down… how awkward.

"Ahem —" Feng Wu cleared her throat. "It's about time. Let's go to Mrs Ning now."

She rose to her feet and left some instructions with Granny Zhao and Qiuling before she left. "Go and pack. We'll set out for the imperial capital after I get back."

Granny Zhao and Qiuling thought it was rather hasty, but since they were used to following Feng Wu's orders, both nodded without any objections.

On their way to Mrs Ning, Feng Wu realized that Feng Xun's head was down, as if he was pondering something. She darted a look at him in bewilderment, but didn't ask him about it.

They reached the Ning family's place in no time.

Conflicted, Feng Xun waited a while before asking, "Are you leaving for the imperial capital already?"

Feng Wu nodded. "Yup."

"Why the rush…" Feng Xun puffed out his cheeks. "Didn't you say that Boss Jun needs to rest in bed for three days? Why don't you wait until he recovers? We can leave together and we'll be able to look out for one another, right?"
