Chapter 104.3: The General's Daughter Who Eloped with the Lowly Stage Actor (12)

The past eluded her grasp, a fleeting memory that she tried to forget but kept resurfacing, haunting her thoughts. Despite knowing it’s not right, the temptation to compare persists. In fleeting moments, the person’s image leaps into the heart, vivid as if it were yesterday. His voice, appearance, and laughter remain clear, effortlessly evoking the intricate details in her mind.

In the blink of an eye, in Qian YunSheng’s company, she saw glimpses of him – the one man she truly yearned for.

But alas, can you see me now?

Gu MingYue fought the urge to reveal her emotions, locking them away beneath Xue HeZe’s endearing facade. With her heart’s secrets hidden, even the astute Qian YunSheng couldn’t fully comprehend her depths.

Two souls entwined in a delicate dance of emotions, uncertain if the other held the key to their hearts. The complexities of their unspoken desires played like a symphony, waiting for the right moment to break free and resonate in harmony.

Unaware of the hidden depths of Gu MingYue’s emotions beneath her appearance, he beamed with satisfaction as he swung open the door to the guest room. There, in a neatly arranged basket, lay an exquisite collection of brand-new clothing he had personally instructed the waiter to procure. Each piece was meticulously crafted with top-quality fabrics, and he felt an air of contentment washing over him.

As he sifted through the garments, Qian YunSheng’s heart felt lighter than ever. A moment of delight led him to casually toss a silver dollar as a generous tip and a reward for the waiter’s efforts. His impeccable taste and generosity knew no bounds.

Gu MingYue’s wardrobe presented a spectrum of enchanting attire. A pale purple swan velvet robe with flowing wide sleeves, adorned delicately with handcrafted white lace patterns and sparkling crystal gemstones, exuded an aura of grace and elegance. There, she had a soft pink plain long skirt, a sleek black knitted openwork woollen cloak, a warm camel-coloured nylon black fur high-necked windbreaker, and a loose-fitting long-sleeved waistless dress featuring a mesmerizing yellow-green plaid pattern. Each ensemble was complemented by silk stockings and versatile leather high heels, allowing her to effortlessly transition between casual and sophisticated looks.

Qian YunSheng’s wardrobe was equally impressive, featuring clean innerwear, a captivating dark blue plain cotton padded long shirt, a striking black magpie-standing-on-a-branch pattern vest, a graceful white woollen long scarf, sleek silver metal frame glasses, and an elegant silver-grey shiny surface suit matched perfectly with a vest of the same hue. Underneath his suit, a black silk shirt peeked out, while a slightly darker necktie added a touch of sophistication. As for footwear, he had two choices – classic black leather shoes and deep grey cotton boots.

In these garments, they both adorned themselves like two figures in a grand painting, each with their unique allure and a hint of hidden emotions waiting to be unravelled.

After receiving Qian YunSheng’s attentive care, Gu MingYue looked breathtaking in her attire – a flowing light purple robe with elegantly draped wide sleeves, gracefully paired with a soft pink long skirt. To complete her look, a black knitted woollen cloak adorned with intricate patterns adorned her shoulders, while her hair was artfully coiled and secured at the back of her head with the same metal hairpin that once served as a threat to Tang YingZhi. The result was a portrait of an elegant and gentle young wife, radiating with beauty.

Qian YunSheng, on the other hand, exuded an air of a refined scholar as he donned a long azure robe, accentuated by a pristine white long scarf and glasses with silver rims, resembling two milk bottle bottoms. The scholarly attire perfectly suited his demeanour, adding to his charm.

Together, they made their way down to the dining hall, where Qian YunSheng had chosen a table adorned with an array of mid-range dishes, along with a delightful assortment of Nanjing’s local delicacies. Their appetites whetted by days of limited meals, and they looked forward to indulging in a grand feast. The selections ranged from tantalizing Nanjing salted duck, delectable squirrel fish, and flavorful clove ribs, to succulent Nanjing scallops. The table also boasted an impressive lineup of delightful snacks, including duck blood vermicelli soup, fragrant sesame oil dried silk, shredded chicken poured noodles, five-spice beans, thin-skinned dumplings, savoury beef potstickers, luscious plum blossom cakes, assorted tofu salads, and crispy goose oil pancakes…

As they faced the bountiful spread of delicacies on the table, the two of them appeared poised and sophisticated, seemingly savouring each morsel with genteel grace. Yet, beneath that refined facade, their movements in selecting and devouring dishes were lightning-fast, leaving others around them astonished at their speed and efficiency. Qian YunSheng played the role of an attentive host, constantly replenishing Gu MingYue’s soup and serving her favourite dishes with utmost care and thoughtfulness, earning the admiration of an adjacent couple dining together.

Qian YunSheng’s determination was crystal clear – Gu MingYue was his woman, and he would shower her with unending love and devotion. The decision to spend the rest of his life with her was firm in his heart, and he vowed to hold her close, never letting her slip away.

Although he might not yet possess the status and wealth of a daughter of the Xue Family, he firmly believed that his future self would rise to become a man who could provide and protect her with unwavering strength. No longer would he hide behind a woman’s back, feeling helpless; instead, he was determined to stand tall and face life’s challenges head-on, showing the world his unyielding spirit and love for Gu MingYue.

In this era, power came from wielding guns or wealth.

While he might not have the means to possess guns, he was determined that he had the capability to amass a fortune.

After a satisfying feast, the table was littered with delicious remnants, but Gu MingYue felt like her belly was about to explode. She had never imagined she could devour so much food. Perhaps, Xue HeZe’s well-fed upbringing prevented her from experiencing such a ravenous appetite.

Previously, when they crossed paths with Tang YingZhi on the train, they hurriedly pressed on towards Beiping. However, now that they had reached Nanjing, they took the opportunity to leisurely explore the city, indulging in various activities.

Finally arriving in Beiping and entering Shi XiaoMan’s residence, they were met with an unexpected and unwanted guest who had been lying in wait for them.

This means she might be somewhat emotionally attached to Qian YunSheng because he has a similar vibe to that doctor guy ????
