Li Wanrong nodded in agreement. She was just about to go out to find Huo Jian, but unexpectedly Huo Jian came to find her. The two of them were indeed destined to be together.

Xing Er, who was standing by, was so angry that her face turned blue. What decent man would climb the wall? Huo Jian did this without worrying about tarnishing his aunt's reputation. She shouted at Huo Jian, "Get out of here right now."

Huo Jian did not get angry but laughed: "Your personal maid is angry."

"Don't pay attention to her." Li Wanrong knew why Xing'er was angry: "What do you want to see me at the Prince's Mansion?"

Huo Jian was about to leave the capital, and he didn't know when he would be back. He couldn't help but want to find Li Wanrong and stay with her for a while: "I'll take you to see the fireflies."

"Where do the fireflies come from in broad daylight?" Li Wanrong asked in confusion.

"To see fireflies, of course you have to do it at night. How can there be fireflies during the day? Don't ask so many questions. Just follow me."

Before Li Wanrong could answer, Xing'er was so anxious that she jumped up and down: "You playboy, it's already against the rules to go out with you during the day, and you even want to drag my aunt to see fireflies at night. Don't you both want to keep your reputation?"

Huo Jian has traveled all over the country and has seen all kinds of people. In his world, there are not so many rules. If he hadn't taken into consideration that Li Wanrong was a woman from the capital, he would have taken Li Wanrong away long ago: "No one knows except you, so don't worry so much."

"You..." Xing'er was embarrassed by Huo Jian's bold behavior, her face turned red: "Even if I'm the only one who knows it, it's not okay."

Huo Jian was amused by Xing Er's cute appearance and said to Li Wanrong, "You girl, she is loyal to you. She is so worried about you. Don't go to see the fireflies today. I will invite you out for a drink another day."

"I want to go." Li Wanrong didn't want to miss the opportunity to see fireflies: "I am a timid girl."

Xing Er grabbed Li Wanrong anxiously and said, "Aunt, are you crazy? If you stay with a man at night, the prince will kick you out of the prince's mansion."

Li Wanrong was now being ignored by the prince, which was no different from being kicked out of the prince's mansion: "I won't take you with me this time. You go to the yard and guard it. If the prince comes to look for me, you cover for me."

Hearing this, Xing Er turned pale with fear: "I can't deal with the prince."

In order to go out and see the fireflies, Li Wanrong tried her best: "Just say that I'm still angry and hide in the room and refuse to come out, and then send the prince away." After that, she no longer paid attention to Xing'er and reached out her hand to Huo Jian on the wall.

Huo Jian held Li Wanrong's hand. The soft touch and the warmth of his palm made him blush. He pulled Li Wanrong up with force, held her waist and jumped off the wall.

Seeing Li Wanrong's figure disappearing from her sight, Xing'er walked back and forth in the yard anxiously, but helplessly, she ran to close the gate of the yard.

……

Huo Jian took Li Wanrong to a dim sum shop and bought a lot of dim sum. They also went to a restaurant to buy braised meat, and then got on a horse-drawn carriage to the suburbs.

We reached the top of the mountain before dark and had a panoramic view of the undulating mountains. There was no traffic and the air was especially fresh.

Li Wanrong's mood suddenly brightened. She ran around the top of the mountain, picked a blooming azalea and put it on her head. Her pretty face became even more beautiful. She shook it in front of Huo Jian: "Do I look good?"

Huo Jian smiled and nodded: "It looks good." He took out snacks and braised meat and placed them on the grass. The two of them looked at the scenery on the top of the mountain while eating.

At night, fireflies flew out from the dense grass. The green lights were particularly bright in the darkness. The ravines were shrouded in hazy green lights, like a green ocean.

Li Wanrong was mesmerized by the sight: "How beautiful!" She stood up and ran happily around in the grass.

Seeing that Li Wanrong liked it, Huo Jian was very happy and felt more and more that it was right to bring her here.

Tired of running, Li Wanrong sat next to Huo Jian and watched the fireflies flying around. She was very satisfied with this kind of life and gradually turned back into the talkative and cheerful girl she used to be.

It was too late and the two couldn't go down the mountain, so they decided to stay there for one night.

Li Wanrong, unable to resist sleepiness, leaned on Huo Jian's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

Huo Jian lowered his head. The silver moonlight shone on Li Wanrong's body. She was less lively than when she was awake, and more elegant. Her soft facial features and gentle temperament made him unable to take his eyes away. He wanted to take her away.

……

Xing'er waited in the yard until dark, but Li Wanrong still didn't come back, so she paced back and forth anxiously.

She prayed silently in her heart that Li Wanrong would come back soon. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which frightened her so much that she almost fainted. She walked to the door carefully and asked softly, "Who is it?"

The cook recognized Xing'er's voice and wondered what she was trying to do by hiding behind the door. "I'm the cook in the kitchen. It's time for dinner. You haven't come to serve Aunt Li's dinner yet, so I have no choice but to bring it over myself."

Xing'er was relieved to find that the person standing outside the door was not the prince. She opened the door and took the food from the cook: "I was so busy that I forgot. Thank you for sending the food over."

"It's not time to lock the door yet, why do you close the door?"

Xing Er didn't know how to explain, so she just answered casually, "My aunt was afraid of being disturbed, so she closed the door."

The cook was stunned. Li Wanrong did not have good interpersonal relationships in the Prince's Mansion. Apart from the Prince, almost no one interacted with Li Wanrong, let alone anyone who came to disturb her. "Don't forget to come and get the food when it's time for dinner. If you are late, the food will get cold."

"Okay." After watching the cook leave, Xing'er closed the door, carried the food and walked into the yard.

Before Li Wanrong came back, Xing'er didn't dare to go back to her room to rest, and sat in the yard waiting.

……

The morning mist spread through the woods, and the biting cold woke Li Wanrong from her sleep. She opened her sleepy eyes and realized that she was leaning on Huo Jian's shoulder. She blushed rarely.

Huo Jian stood up: "It's dawn, let's go down the mountain!"

"Okay." Li Wanrong followed behind Huo Jian.

The two of them followed the same route they came, walked down the mountain, got on a carriage, and returned to the capital.

Huo Jian was going to the fur shop, so he didn't send Li Wanrong back first, but went to take care of his own business first.

The carriage stopped at the door of the shop, and Huo Jian asked Li Wanrong to sit in the carriage and wait for him.

But Li Wanrong couldn't stay, so she followed Huo Jian out of the carriage and walked into the fur shop.

The owner of the shop came over with a smile on his face when he saw Huo Jian: "Why are you here so early?"

Huo Jian replied: "You often go out. I haven't run into you in the past few times. I can only try my luck in the morning. Is the fur ready?"
