Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 731 - 729: We Can Wait

Xuan Ying also poked his head out, looking at Shen Qinglan and grinning, "Miss Shen, don’t worry, we can wait."

Shen Qinglan cleared her throat softly, looking at the quietly chuckling Duan Yunfei, "Aren’t you leaving yet?"

"My dear, you’re so cruel, it’s hard to meet but you rush me away like this!" Duan Yunfei pretended to be hurt, clutching his chest, "My heart hurts!"

Shen Qinglan laughed lightly and pushed him, "So exaggerated."

Duan Yunfei chuckled, then returned to normal, whispering, "I’ll be going, remember to come back to town early."

"Okay!" Shen Qinglan nodded firmly, "I’ll return to town early."

Duan Yunfei nodded, turned and walked to the carriage, then looked back at her with a smile.

In the swirling snow, Duan Yunfei, dressed in white, seemed to merge with the snow, his stunningly beautiful face bearing a brilliant smile, one that shone into Shen Qinglan’s heart like a sudden warm sun in winter.

She was momentarily dazed, her gaze slightly unfocused as she stared into his eyes.

"I’m really leaving!"

The voice full of laughter reached her ears, snapping Shen Qinglan back to reality. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, coughed lightly, and lowered her eyes to nod, "Go on."

Ah, beauty is misleading!

Could this be the legendary "a glance back with a smile, a thousand charms arise"?

It was only after he got onto the carriage and left that Shen Qinglan slowly raised her gaze, watching the departing carriage, unable to retract her gaze for a long time.

When the carriage completely disappeared from view, she chuckled softly, slowly turned around, raised her umbrella, and went home.

That night, the wind started in Lishui Village, and the snow fell heavily, with occasional sounds of branches breaking in the deep night.

The next morning, the snow stopped.

The snow piled up in the courtyard reached ankle height, and the little maids were busy early in the morning. When Shen Qinglan got up, breakfast was already prepared.

Fu Dong looked at her and smiled, "Today, I made the pan-fried buns you taught. I wonder if the taste suits your palate."

Shen Qinglan rinsed her mouth, then looked up and asked her, "Is everyone else still asleep?"

"Awake," Fu Dong replied, "You’re the one who got up late."

"Really?" Shen Qinglan was surprised, "I thought I got up pretty early today."

Fu Dong laughed lightly, "The earliest riser was madam, she’s in the room with young master Jiang."

"Xiangyang is awake?" Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrow, "Did he cry?"

"No!" Fu Dong shook her head, "Just a while ago, I sent porridge over and found he was playing with madam, quite happily."

"That’s good!" Shen Qinglan let out a slight sigh of relief; she was worried the little one would cling only to her like yesterday.

She really likes children, but it’s somewhat troubling for her, one reason being her lack of experience, and another for fear of not taking good care.

"You should eat first."

Fu Dong served her porridge and placed a few steaming pan-fried buns to the side.

"Where are Piao Xue and the others?" Shen Qinglan asked as soon as she sat down.

"They went back to bed after finishing their chores," Fu Dong smiled, "saying it’s too cold."

Shen Qinglan frowned, "Did everyone eat?"

Fu Dong said, "Sister Xi Chun steamed buns early this morning, everyone had some, only you were left."

"Have you eaten?" Shen Qinglan took the chopsticks she was handed and asked softly.

"I have eaten. Not wanting to lie down, I tried making the pan-fried buns you taught me!" Fu Dong sat across from her, smiling, "I’ve tasted them, pretty good, just not sure if you would think so."

"Let me try!" Shen Qinglan picked one up, took a big bite, and nodded in the end, "Yes, they taste really good!"
