Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 525 - 524: Awkward Conversation

"Since Mr. Duan has come to Nanfeng Country, why didn’t he notify my father? He has been talking about you for quite a while."

Du Bingxue took off the veiled hat from her head, her exquisite and beautiful face full of indifference.

"It’s not very polite to trouble Prime Minister Du every time I come to Nanfeng Country." Duan Yunfei chuckled, "And why did Miss Du come here directly instead of returning to the Prime Minister’s Mansion?"

Du Bingxue’s expression paused slightly, she glanced at Fu Junyan and said blandly, "I’m trying my luck, you could also say I’m here to keep an appointment."

Fu Junyan’s thin lips curved into a slight smile.

"Miss Du certainly should keep the appointment," Duan Yunfei stretched lazily, half leaned against Shen Qinglan’s shoulder and smiled, "Someone has been waiting for you here for four years, even gave up military power just to wait for you."

Du Bingxue smiled faintly, she looked at Shen Qinglan, changing the subject, "If my elder sister saw such a beautiful lady beside Mr. Duan, she might be unable to sleep at night."

"Elder sister?" Shen Qinglan gently pushed Duan Yunfei away and said coldly, "You seem to have many romantic debts."

"Dear lady, this is definitely not my fault!" Duan Yunfei protested, "Heaven and earth can witness, you are the only one in my heart, their affections are self-inflicted and unrelated to me."

Shen Qinglan snorted lightly, saying nothing.

"Dear lady?" Du Bingxue was surprised, "Mr. Duan is married?"

"No, but soon." Duan Yunfei said, "Early spring next year, at that time, don’t be absent from the wedding banquet!"

Du Bingxue smiled, "Speaking of which, I haven’t been to Yunye for five or six years. If Mr. Duan gets married, I definitely won’t miss it, and it will be a chance for me to travel around Yunye once more."

Fu Junyan stared at her and said, "We’ll go together then!"

Du Bingxue nodded lightly and responded softly.

She shifted her gaze from Fu Junyan back to Shen Qinglan, scrutinizing her once more.

Shen Qinglan also did not shy away, calmly letting herself be examined.

Actually, Du Bingxue was just a bit curious, there were countless girls who admired Duan Yunfei, though she didn’t know Shen Qinglan’s talent and dared not jump to conclusions, when it came to appearance, those girls were not bad either.

Not to mention anything else, even her half-sister who was born slightly earlier than her, her beauty did not lose to this girl in front of her, moreover, she had deep affection for Duan Yunfei.

Yet Duan Yunfei never even glanced at her, this point, her father felt quite regretful. After all, if Duan Yunfei found Du Bingling appealing, it could not only strengthen the relationship between the Prime Minister’s Mansion and Yongning Manor, but might also promote friendly ties between Nanfeng Country and Yunye Country.

Du Bingling is beautiful and obedient, also highly talented, her father treats Du Bingling even better than he treats his legitimate daughter by three points.

Thinking about it, she could understand her father, after all, she had lived with her maternal family since childhood, learning medicine from her grandfather, and as she grew up, she even defied her father’s advice, leaving home to travel alone.

Whereas Du Bingling stayed in Du Mansion all year round, accompany her father, which parent wouldn’t prefer a more considerate and obedient daughter?

She withdrew her thoughts and smiled faintly at Shen Qinglan, "My name is Du Bingxue, may I ask for the lady’s honored name?"

Shen Qinglan returned her a faint smile, "Shen Qinglan."

Du Bingxue spoke softly, "Is it the Qinglan from ’Clear Water Orchids’?"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Yes."

Du Bingxue: "That’s a nice name."

Shen Qinglan: "Thank you!"

Du Bingxue: "You’re welcome!"

All the men: ...

This conversation carried a subtle awkwardness, yet the expressions of both involved were perfectly serious...
