Across Time And Space Chapter 39

"My mother and sister will be arriving in the capital in a month . " Yang Yun said .

"The renovation to your new place is done?" Mingyue asked . "I thought it would take a while longer . "

He smiled . "It should be complete soon . I asked them to come earlier . It will be too cold for them to travel later . Let's plan for a family gathering after they arrived . My mother wanted to meet your parents to discuss the wedding . "

Mingyue nodded, and she lowered her gaze . She sipped her drink slowly . When she looked up again, her cheek has turned reddish as the warm vapor from the tea touched her skin .

Looking at this situation gave Yang Yun the urge to pinch her cheek .

"Yang Yun… I heard you went back to report for duty this morning . " Mingyue said . She recalled that Princess Lingchen had told her about how Yang Yun will stay in the capital for the banquet .

"Hmm . "

Mingyue bit her cheek so that she would not unconsciously smile and give away her thought . "When will you return to the Northern border?"

Yang Yun lifted his gaze and stared at her . "I won't be returning to the border soon . The Emperor is planning a spring banquet for the princess . Until the banquet is over, I will have to stay in the capital . " The corner of his lips tugged up as he studied her expression . "You know about this, don't you?"

Mingyue blinked . Clearly, she was trying to pretend that she knows nothing .

"I know your expressions well . I can tell if there's something up from your expression," Yang Yun said with a smile . "You know about this arrangement, right . Princess Lingchen told you about this?"

She pouted . "You already know so much about me . What if you get bored with me later?"

"I will not . " He gave her an a.s.suring smile .

Without realizing, he had been watching her for almost eight years . From the day he saw her sneak into the army camp and later, she disguised herself as one of the soldiers . Thinking about that night will always make him smile . Back then when he saw her among the soldiers, he thought that she was a man .

Although he knows Mingyue for long and could guess what she thought about from seeing her expression, he could never be bored spending his time with her . Mingyue always surprises him with something new .

Soon, their food arrived, and the two had their meal and chatted quietly . When their stomachs were full, the two of them took a stroll in the market . Mingyue bought a few things for Ying Yi, and the two shopped around . Occasionally, they would make a stop at a few stalls to buy some snacks .

Mingyue visited a clothing store and chose a few thick coats for Ying Yi . After checking the quality of the coat, she paid the seller and turned around . She frowned when she could not see Yang Yun behind her .

"Yang Yun?" she walked slowly . Her eyes were searching for him amid the large crowd .
