Princess Too Young, Prince Too Old Chapter 40

Proofread by Claire . KK

Of course he would be more pleased if the engagement between Mu Nanzhi and the son of Marquis Zhongyuan was just an illusory dream . Fortunately, Lu Zhishan was sure that the engagement would be broken soon and the big problem would be settled in a matter of days . He had enough solutions even if the Taoist priest didn’t appear at that time .

There were four dishes and one soup on the table, including eggplant box, crystal trotters, fried bamboo shoots, fried shrimps with Longjing tea and lotus leaf soup . Lu Zhishan beckoned Song Fu to withdraw . Sitting silently by the window, he kept drinking the wine alone .

He liked alcohol before and was good at drinking when he was still in troops . He loved drinking with his people, talking about their dreams and ambitions for protecting their country and making their own achievements .

However, he had never ever touched wine since he survived from the war in Shunhua . He had neither a bosom friend nor a good mood, which were two requirements for drinking wine . But now he really wanted to have a cup of wine .

The hot Nu’er Hong rolled through his throat, bring great warmth and comfort to every part of his body . Staring at the dancing snowflakes in the air, Lu Zhishan gradually recalled the past days .

Fourteen years ago, the winter night of Nothern Di was much colder than that of now . A drop of water would turn to be ice in a few seconds . And even a bit warmth would be impressive enough, such as the warmth when he saw the tears of his aunt and the warmth when he felt the weight of the small baby in his hands . Lu Zhishan was not sure if it was all because he had experienced too much hard time and too many b.l.o.o.d.y events that he really cherished this kind warmth .

Mu Nanzhi happened to see Lu Zhishan holding a cup of wine in his hand . His hair was black, straight and had already reached his waist . The bluish-white robe without belt made him look pretty casual, which reminded her of the time when she came to visit him on the first day of the new year and saw him sleeping sound on the soft couch .

The man was really special . His face was not so perfect but people would be attracted by his temperament . He looked a bit lonely, casual, experienced and apparently silent .

Mu Nanzhi saw the man carry the white jade cup to his mouth . She couldn’t help gazing at the thin lips of the man in front of her and his Adam's apple which bobbed in his throat . Definitely, his clavicles were appealing enough too . Mu Nanzhi felt like there were something special in her throat . She even felt warm all over her body as if she was the person who was drinking the cup of wine .

How could there be such a man? He just drank a cup of wine, but his gesture made him look more like an artistic picture .

“Little darling?” Noticing the girl who wore a red dress beside the door, Lu Zhishan couldn’t believe his eyes .

“Cousin, you just sit there enjoying snow and wine alone . Why not call me to join you? What a leisure activity!” Mu Nanzhi quickly stepped forward and took her seat beside Lu Zhishan . Then she made a cup of water herself and drank most of it . “It was so cold outside,” she mumbled .

Lu Zhishan fixed his eyes on the rosy cheeks of the young girl in front of him . Tiny beads of sweats covered her nose . The complex hairdo had already become loose . There was fluffy hair on both her forehead and temples, which looked a bit messy . However, all this made the little girl look more beautiful . Lu Zhishan could even imagine how fascinating the girl would be if she just finished a shower and dressing herself .

“Now that it’s so cold, why don’t you stay at your home?” Lu Zhishan called Song Fu to bring a cup of hot milk tea to Mu Nanzhi and said, “Aren’t you afraid to be seen by someone else? Go back as soon as you finish your tea . ”
