Zhao Luoning instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Ji Shisu was quick - eyed and grabbed it.
"It's crowded. Don't fall. It's good to hold my arm like this."
"But... but it's not proper etiquette."
"We're husband and wife. What's improper about it?"
Hearing this, Zhao Luoning didn't try to pull her hand back anymore and just let him lead her forward.
Yu Chi and Cai Xue followed behind Zhao Luoning, looking at the well - matched couple.
The two had completely different reactions.
Yu Chi: The Second Master has finally come to his senses. That's right. You have to take the initiative to pursue the Second Young Mistress.
Cai Xue: Ahhhhh, my family's cabbage has been ravaged by a pig. Let go of my young lady quickly!!!
This warm scene didn't last long.
Before they had taken a few steps, Ji Shisu and his group were stopped by someone.
The person who came was a young boy carrying a big bunch of sugar - coated haws. He handed a letter to Ji Shisu, pointed at a small building not far away and said,
"This was given to you by a sister over there."
Everyone looked in the direction the boy was pointing. At the end of his finger, there was a place full of debauchery and alluring words.
Tianxiang Tower.
Zhao Luoning immediately understood.
She pulled her hand out of Ji Shisu's arm, curtsied and said,
"I won't disturb the Second Master. I'll take my leave first."
With that, without giving Ji Shisu a chance to explain, she led Ji Shihan and walked straight away.
Ji Shihan gave Ji Shisu a look of disappointment and then trotted to catch up with Zhao Luoning to comfort her.
Ji Shisu was also very annoyed. The delicate little hand on his arm had left, but the tingling feeling still remained.
Why did someone always come to spoil things every time he got a little closer to Zhao Luoning?
He angrily opened the letter the boy had given him.
Lianxiang had better have something important to tell him!
After reading the content of the letter, Ji Shisu's expression instantly became solemn.
Yu Chi, who didn't know the inside story yet, stepped forward and tried to persuade him kindly.
"Second Master, I think the Second Young Mistress is angry. Why don't you go after her and persuade her?"
Ji Shisu looked in the direction where Zhao Luoning had left. The letter paper in his hand was crumpled into a ball.
At this time, Ji Shihan had caught up with Zhao Luoning and quickly persuaded her,
"Sister - in - law, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry." Although she said so, her steps quickened.
"Before Brother got married, he was indeed a bit muddled, but he has changed a lot in the past few months."
"It has nothing to do with me."
"Oh, how can it have nothing to do with you? Brother changed for you. Sister - in - law, just wait. Brother will definitely come after you to apologize."
Hearing this, Zhao Luoning stopped. She looked back and let out a cold laugh.
"Shihan, that person is not worth your good words for him."
Ji Shihan looked back in surprise and only saw Ji Shisu leading Yu Chi, hurriedly heading towards Tianxiang Tower.
Ji Shihan sighed helplessly.
Brother, among the girls in Tianxiang Tower, who can compare with Sister - in - law in terms of talent and appearance? You don't want such a good sister - in - law. You're really muddled.
Ji Shihan could only pull Zhao Luoning and say,
"Sister - in - law, I'm a bit tired. Let's stop shopping and go back."
Although Zhao Luoning was a bit sad, she didn't want Ji Shihan to sacrifice the rare chance to go out.
Seeing Ji Shihan being so considerate, she quickly composed herself and said,
"I came out specially with you. How can we go back so soon? Even if you're willing, Hongshao hasn't had enough fun yet. Let's walk around a bit more. Don't let my mood spoil yours."
To Ji Shihan, these words sounded like forced smiles.
Who wouldn't be angry to see their husband lingering in the red - light district?
Zhao Luoning's reaction was already quite remarkable.
Ji Shihan thought to herself that if she were Zhao Luoning today, she would surely be in tears and rush to the old matriarch to ask for justice.
Ji Shihan didn't know if Zhao Luoning was just too patient or simply didn't care about her brother's affairs.
Anyway, it was not suitable to stay here any longer.
Going back earlier was the wise choice.
Ji Shihan insisted that she was tired and didn't want to shop anymore.
Zhao Luoning had never been very interested in shopping. Seeing that both of them said so, she readily agreed.
After the group got on the carriage, Ning Huainan walked out from behind the willow tree.
He had been following them for a long time.
At first, he saw Ning Huaizhi and Zhao Luoyue causing trouble for Zhao Luoning and wanted to step forward to help.
But Ji Shisu got there first.
It was only after Ji Shisu revealed his identity that he remembered that the man who had been following them since they left the inn was Zhao Luoning's husband, the amorous second young master of the Ji family.
No wonder he didn't recognize him at first.
He had only met Ji Shisu once, and at that time, he didn't even dare to look at Ji Shisu, let alone face the sight of the woman he loved being affectionate with another man.
"Ji Shisu!"
Ning Huainan gritted his teeth and uttered this name.
"Why, why don't you cherish her even though you've already got her? Why do you make her sad!"
She was the one he held dearest in his heart. How could he allow others to bully and trample on her?
But soon, Ning Huainan lost his spirit.
What was the use of his hatred?
She was already someone else's wife.
Moreover.
She didn't like him at all and didn't need his concern.
It was just like a flower falling in love with the flowing water, but the water had no intention of lingering with the flower.
Tianxiang Tower
One coquettish woman after another was dressed up gaudily, waving colorful silk handkerchiefs to attract those guests who were tempted by the scent of makeup.
Ji Shisu led Yu Chi in.
The girls all knew that the Second Master Ji was Miss Lianxiang's guest. Although they were envious of this fat customer, they didn't dare to step forward because of Lianxiang's temper.
The madam greeted him with a smile.
"The Second Master is here. Lianxiang is waiting for you upstairs."
Ji Shisu's face was not looking good. He even found the scent of makeup in the room extremely unpleasant, suffocating and nauseating.
The madam led Ji Shisu to the second floor.
In the lobby on the second floor, a group of dancing girls surrounded Lianxiang. Lianxiang was wearing an extremely revealing dress and was dancing the extremely difficult Rainbow Garment Dance surrounded by the dancing girls.
Seeing Ji Shisu coming, Lianxiang showed a charming smile on her face.
After the dance, the guests were still not satisfied, but they could only watch helplessly as the charming dancing girl fluttered towards the Second Young Master Ji like a butterfly.
Everyone could only sigh.
The second young master of the Ji family was really lucky in love.
Lianxiang led Ji Shisu into the room and dismissed the attendants. There were only the two of them left in the room.
Lianxiang poured a pot of fine wine. Wearing an elegant and coquettish dance dress, she was full of charm.
"My lord, Lianxiang offers you a toast."
Lianxiang walked closer to Ji Shisu. Soft and fragrant, she leaned towards Ji Shisu. Her boneless white hand held the wine cup and offered it to Ji Shisu.
Ji Shisu felt extremely annoyed. He gently pushed Lianxiang away without showing it.
"Is what you said in the letter true?"
