3454 Found Out
Jun Jueshang paused before adding, “I wonder if you have any good spots to recommend?”
Guan Xilin was preoccupied with his chess piece. “A beautiful, secluded, and quiet spot?” he asked when he heard this inquiry. “There are a lot of them in the city. Have you been to all of those places?” He stared at the chess pieces, considering which move would be better.
“I’ve been to all the famous places, but the scenery is average, quite similar to many other towns,” he replied calmly and indifferently, as if carrying on a casual conversation, so that the listener would not realise that he was actually making a serious inquiry.
Guan Xilin’s mind was still on the chess pieces, so he paid little attention. After that, he just said, “There is one place you must not have been to. The scenery there is extraordinary, but it’s not in this city.”
As he spoke, he placed a chess piece on the board and then looked up, smiling. “It’s your turn.”
Jun Jueshang took a quick look at the chessboard, picked up a piece calmly, and said, “Oh? Is there such a place? Where is it? Why haven’t I heard of it?”
“The Peach Blossom Ridge! The scenery there is stunning. All year long, peach blossoms bloom and fill the air with their sweet smell. The place belongs to Little Jiu. Peach blossoms used to bloom only in March, but after Little Jiu took over, she had peach trees planted all over the place, resulting in year-round blooms. Everyone who comes here will take a stroll in Peach Blossom Ridge. It’s especially suitable for couples in love.”
Guan Xilin could not help but freeze after he mentioned this. He glanced at Jun Jueshang on the opposite side with a slightly embarrassed smile.
“Oh, um, hehe…”
Oh no, he unintentionally mentioned Peach Blossom Ridge. Wanyan Qianhua lived there. If he went to look for this place…
“Peach Blossom Ridge?” Jun Jueshang repeated those three words and then looked at Guan Xilin. “Where is it?”
Jun Jueshang stood up nonchalantly when he noticed Guan Xilin’s expression. “It’s alright, I’ll find it.” With that, he turned and walked away.
The people inside the manor might not tell him, but outside, a simple inquiry would reveal where Peach Blossom Ridge was.
Guan Xilin couldn’t help but feel anxious as he saw Jun Jueshang go, worried that he had caused trouble. He dashed over to Feng Jiu’s courtyard. “Little Jiu, Little Jiu!”
While lazing in the sun on a soft couch, Feng Jiu heard Guan Xilin’s voice. She slowly opened her eyes, looking like she hadn’t fully woken up, “Big Brother? What’s the matter?”
“Little Jiu, just now, I played chess with Jun Jueshang. While I was thinking about my move, he asked me a few questions, and I inadvertently mentioned Peach Blossom Ridge. Now he has gone out, probably to look for Peach Blossom Ridge.”
When Feng Jiu heard this, she let out a chuckle. “It’s alright. My sister is already more than four months pregnant; he wouldn’t dare to do anything to her.”
As she spoke, she sat up and said with a smile, “However, I still want to go and see. Their relationship is a little strange, and I’m interested to see how he reacts when he sees my sister’s bulging belly.”
So, Feng Jiu also followed and headed towards Peach Blossom Ridge.
Calculating the days, her sister’s belly was already more than four months along; it was indeed time for Jun Jueshang to come and see. The only question was, when he sees her sister’s bulging belly, will he be able to handle it?
