The curtain of the Palanquin was lifted, and Huxin nimbly jumped onto the Palanquin without anyone's assistance, then settled comfortably into her seat.
In contrast, Gu Xuanhong elegantly stepped onto the sedan chair at a leisurely pace, the corners of his white robe, as beautiful as jade, slowly gliding across the ground, blooming like white lotuses in the dark night, illuminating the surroundings while dimming the starlight above. He was an extraordinarily handsome man who could steal breath away at any moment.
There were many beautiful men in the world, but Gu Xuanhong's beauty was both serene and dynamic, both righteous and wicked; his unparalleled grace was hard to find elsewhere.
Gu Xuanhong sat down opposite Huxin, gazing at her with eyes as deep as water. In the next moment, as if by magic, six exquisite plates of snacks appeared before Huxin just as the curtain fell.
Huxin's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but swallow hard.
She was truly hungry! After a day of turmoil, she had only managed to eat a bite of abalone cake before being frightened into spitting it out by the Vast Emperor's roar.
"If you're hungry, just eat. There's no need to be polite with me," Gu Xuanhong said lightly. However, at that moment, he seemed inexplicably colder and more indifferent; his lips no longer wore the charming smile of a fox, and his gaze exuded a sense of detachment.
Huxin sensed his change but couldn't be bothered to dwell on it. Right now, her priority was to fill her stomach first! People are made of iron and rice is steel; in this deep palace filled with many who would consume you without a trace, how could she have the strength to fight if she didn't eat enough?
Huxin didn't hold back; since Gu Xuanhong invited her to eat, she would do so without hesitation. After all, everyone knew that life in Gu Family Hong Ye was more precious and extravagant than that of the current Emperor; Xia Huxin wouldn't be polite with Gu Xuanhong!
Huxin quietly enjoyed her snacks while Gu Xuanhong picked up a book to read. However, before he could finish a page, Huxin had already polished off two plates of snacks. Wiping her hands, she looked at Gu Xuanhong, who had shifted his gaze from the book, and said, "Master Hong, I'm full."
"Oh," Gu Xuanhong replied with an expressionless face but secretly wanted to ask her what flavors she had tasted after finishing two plates so quickly.
Glancing down at the empty plates, Gu Xuanhong felt a mix of amusement and disbelief.
The girl looked carefree and straightforward, yet she was picky about her food. She had two plates of snacks: one plate of Bi Yun cake with calming Dragon Lingzhi, and another plate of Osmanthus pastry with Snow Lotus water that could restore energy in the shortest time. The remaining four plates were ordinary snacks, which, although not seen outside the palace, were far less nourishing than those two plates.
Huxin clapped her hands and took a sip of hot tea, feeling invigorated. Her voice became more confident as she spoke.
"Master Hong, it's getting late. I shouldn't delay your return to rest. The Xia Family isn't necessarily on your way back either. I have servants to escort me home safely! I'll take my leave now, Master Hong. Thank you for the snacks; I apologize for the trouble."
Huxin's words were neither servile nor arrogant, simple and clear. Her large eyes sparkled, concealing all her emotions deep within.
Gu Xuanhong shifted his gaze from Huxin to the book in front of him and said lightly, "Are you leaving already?" It seemed he was reluctant, but his tone remained as cold and distant as before.
"Yes," Huxin replied firmly. Why stay after eating and drinking? Staying with this cunning man who was as clever as a nine-tailed fox felt like an eternity.
"Mm." Gu Xuanhong responded briefly. Huxin didn't bother with his indifferent attitude and lifted the curtain to get out of the carriage.
In the next moment, there was a loud bang as Huxin's forehead collided solidly with the beam outside the curtain!
Damn it! Huxin suddenly felt an urge to curse!
When did this beam appear? How did she not see it when she came in?
Huxin felt stars dancing before her eyes and struggled to maintain her balance!
