When Wen Ruhua saw her eyes, he froze, then blurted out, “Bai Qinxiang, why do you seem completely different from before? You’re not Bai Qinxiang?”
It had been dark earlier and since she had been wearing a white veil, he hadn’t been able to see what she looked like. Now that he saw her in daylight, he felt like this woman couldn’t possibly be his cousin.
At most, Bai Qinxiang’s features could be praised as simple and delicate. She wasn’t very tall either, but the person in front of him had long slender legs and an elegant and curvy frame. She clearly wasn’t Bai Qinxiang.
Ning Shu lifted her brows and replied lightly, “Cousin, I am Bai Qinxiang. I know that I broke our promise and betrayed you, but I’ve already been punished for it.”
Wen Ruhua furrowed his brows. He was certain that this person wasn’t Bai Qinxiang, but she seemed to know about what happened between him and Bai Qinxiang. What was going on?
He was completely lost.
Ning Shu stroked her face as she said, “Don’t you feel like my eyes have become big and sparkly and that I’ve gotten taller? I had married into a wealthy family after all. After days of sea cucumbers, abalone, and milk baths, it’s natural for there to be a change. If you eat well and live well, your body naturally experiences a second spring.”
Bai Qinxiang had only been fifteen when she got married, so it was very possible for her to have changed so much that Wen Ruhua wasn’t able to recognize her.
“Are you boasting to me about your luxurious life?” Wen Ruhua glared at her coldly. “Then why are you looking for me now?”
“Ding, trauma points +20. Current number of trauma points is 40.” 2333 seemed a bit excited. “Wow, not bad. You got 40 trauma points in just one night. Ning Shu, keep working hard. We might hit it big this time.”
Ning Shu: “Get lost.”
“Humph, heartless woman, I hate you. I won’t talk to you again!” 2333 wiped at its tears. Then Ning Shu heard the sounds of running footsteps. After a few moments, 2333 shouted shyly, “Hurry up and tell me to come back. Tell me to come back!”

NIng Shu: “Get lost… somewhere far away.”
Ning Shu turned to look at Wen Ruhua. He was a mess. His green garment was stained with dirt and bits of grass and he looked very haggard with his ungroomed facial hair.
Wen Ruhua’s greatest sore spot was the fact that his cousin had married someone else for wealth and honor. Thus, any casual word Ning Shu said was enough to hit his sore spot.
This was the pain that Wen Ruhua had buried in his heart and refused to acknowledge.
Ning Shu felt that Wen Ruhua was pitiful and loathesome. He was a weak and useless man that couldn’t take even a little hit from life. He had been the one to give up on his own life; he didn’t have the strength of a man at all.
How could this kind of man be a male lead? She felt that even when he shared Mu Yanmeng with the six other men, he was probably the one that was always bullied. All the other men either had power, money, strong martial arts, or strong convictions.
But Wen Ruhua didn’t have any backbone at all. All he had was book knowledge, but what use was that?
He probably had to rub himself whenever he lost the fight to get the female lead. Ning Shu’s thoughts were starting to wander off…
Wen Ruhua picked up his bamboo basket and prepared to leave. Ning Shu hastily asked, “Where are you going?”
Wen Ruhua said coldly, “Of course I’m heading back.”
Ning Shu said, “I’ll go with you.”
Wen Ruhua immediately shouted sternly, “Bai Qinxiang, I’m not something you can just abandon and get back as you please. Just give up!”
Ning Shu paid no attention to him and got back on the carriage to follow behind Wen Ruhua.
