Meng Nan sneezed and asked urgently: “Can we go inside now?” The little guard moved to the side and said with a dry smile: “Yes, of course, you can, you two please!” He had reported a long time ago. It’s just Prince Jin sent him to do errands, which is why he was delayed. Meng Nan quickly stepped forward and kept asking the little servant who led the way: “Is Miss Bai inside?” “How long has she been here?” “How is she doing?” “Why does she live here?” The little servant who led the way didn’t dare to talk casually, he simply pretended not to hear, and walked fast all the way. When they arrived in the front hall, Dongfang Mu and Hu Feng were sitting and drinking tea. The two were chatting and laughing together. They were very harmonious. “Dongfang Daren!” This was the first time Meng Nan has seen Dongfang Mu. However, he felt a little awed in his heart after hearing many deeds of Dongfang Mu. Dongfang Mu waved his hand: “Are you Meng Nan?” Meng Nan slightly bent his waist and said: “This young one is Meng Nan. I heard Master Dongfang’s name a long time ago and admired him very much. It’s my great fortune to see you today.” Hu Feng slightly snorted: “Your mouth is very sweet. The Dongfang Mansion has been built in the capital a long time ago. Why didn’t you come? Are you here to see my master today?” Meng Nan was a little embarrassed, he looked up and glared at Hu Feng, but said nothing. Dongfang Mu laughed and said: “Okay, well, you should speak less. He is a guest. And since he came in here, he has a heart.” Dongfang Mu waved his hand, told Meng Nan to sit down, and ordered his servants to serve tea. Then he asked: “I’ve heard Zhi’er say that when you were in Huangtuo Village, you saved her life and she regarded you as a close friend. She always wanted to find a chance to visit your place, but you came first.” Meng Nan was overjoyed: “She really said that? She is really going to find me?” Dongfang Mu nodded: “Of course, if you don’t believe me, you can ask her.” Hu Feng’s face turned black. He turned his head and stopped looking at Meng Nan. After a while, Bai Zhi was brought to the hall by the servant. She saw Meng Nan sitting in the hall from a distance. Bai Zhi couldn’t help but speed up her pace and said as soon as she stepped into the hall: “Meng Dage, why are you here?” Meng Nan immediately got up from the chair when he saw Bai Zhi coming towards him. When she stood in front of him, she seemed to have become a little taller than when they met last time. Her skin was white and rosy. She was wearing a simple dress, but she looked very elegant. She looked so beautiful. He could only think of these words to describe her right now. Meng Nan was very excited. He was so excited that he didn’t know what to say. He stared at Bai Zhi in a while, and then complained a little bit: “You girl, now that you’re here in the capital, why you didn’t come to see me? You made me wait for days.” Bai Zhi puzzled: “Wait? Waiting for what?” Jin Shiwei on the side hurriedly interjected: “Miss Bai, you don’t know. Since gongzi learned what happened in Huangtou Village, he wanted to rush in there to look for you. It’s just madam fell ill and he couldn’t go. He could only wait for Boss Chen’s letter to learn news about you every three days. If Ke Gongzi didn’t come today to our place, we wouldn’t know that you had come in the capital.” Bai Zhi was full of guilt. These days, she had been busy with Dongfang Wan’s illness. She didn’t care about other things. She had planned to go to see Xian’er, but still, she hasn’t done it. “Meng Dage, I was wrong. I should have come to see you sooner.” Meng Nan sighed, then smiled: “Well, you didn’t come to find me, I’m sure you have your own reason. I don’t blame you. But today, you have to invite me to have a meal. If you don’t, I won’t leave.”
