"What? You...you're going to a brothel?" Shan Xiaochun looked incredulous. As a local of Bailu City, she certainly knew what Zuixianju was.

"What's the problem?" Duan Tianyang asked calmly.

"Of course there is a problem. That's a place with fireworks. If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't go!" Shan Xiaochun opened her red lips slightly, pouted the corners of her mouth, and then rolled her eyes at him with disdain.

Hearing this, Duan Tianyang left without looking back, and at the same time said: "That's great, you are safe now anyway, don't follow me anymore!"

"Hey, are you really leaving just like that? Slow down, wait for me..."

Relying on the original owner's memory, the two quickly arrived in front of Zuixianju. Looking at the familiar sign, Duan Tianyang was about to walk in when he suddenly heard a voice of surprise and joy behind him: "Brother Tianyang!"

Shan Xiaochun looked in the direction of the voice and saw a graceful, enchanting woman walking quickly towards him in the fragrant aroma. Her beauty was breathtaking.

The woman's eyes were only focused on Duan Tianyang from beginning to end...

Hearing this familiar voice, Duan Tianyang stopped involuntarily and turned to look at the figure running towards him.

A gentle smile gradually blossomed on his stern face, and he called softly, "Ru Meng."

Time flies. Not seeing each other for more than a year has made Rumeng even more charming and radiant. She is so beautiful that it is breathtaking. Duan Tianyang couldn't help but flash a hint of amazement in his eyes.

Ru Meng ran over and stared at Duan Tianyang's face. There was excitement and surprise in her eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes. She asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Tianyang, your hair...why did it turn white?"

Duan Tianyang looked at the old friend who only existed in his memory and replied softly: "It turned white by itself."

Rumeng could no longer suppress her inner emotions. She threw herself into Duan Tianyang's arms, hugged him tightly, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

She cried and choked up, "Brother Tianyang, you are finally back! Do you know how hard I have been waiting for you?"

Duan Tianyang looked at Rumeng, who was in tears in his arms, with a complex emotion welling up in his heart, and finally he gently put his arms around her waist.

This scene stunned everyone present, including Shan Xiaochun who was standing nearby.

After being stunned for a moment, she suddenly came to her senses, bit her lower lip hard, strode forward, and used all her strength to separate the two.

She glared at Rumeng and asked loudly, "Who are you? Why are you hugging him so rudely?"

Ru Meng was awakened by her yell. Realizing her own gaffe, she quickly let go of her hand, a blush appearing on her face.

She turned her eyes to Shan Xiaochun, her embarrassment evident in her words, and whispered softly, "I... I'm a friend of Brother Tianyang, may I ask who you are?"

Shan Xiaochun was displeased when he heard this. He glanced at Rumeng, then walked lightly to Duan Tianyang's side, tugged at his sleeve naturally, and said stubbornly, "What does it have to do with you?"

This made Duan Tianyang feel a little embarrassed. He gently pulled his arm back and explained to Rumeng, "She is the second daughter of the Shan family, Shan Xiaochun. She and I met by chance on the way, so I sent her back along the way."

Ru Meng heard this and murmured softly, "So that's how it is."

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, her eyes flickered, and she asked softly, "What about Miss Ling? Is she okay?"

Mentioning Ling Ziyan, Rumeng's heart couldn't help but ripple. Ling Ziyan had visited Bailu City to inquire about Duan Tianyang's whereabouts, but since Duan Tianyang left, the two had never met again. This reunion was really rare.

As for Ling Ziyan's identity as a princess, Rumeng was not aware of it. She only knew that she was Duan Tianyang's fiancée.

Duan Tianyang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Shan Xiaochun. She frowned and said with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction: "Miss Ling? What Miss Ling?"

Duan Tianyang ignored Shan Xiaochun's question and suggested to Rumeng, "This is not the place to talk. Why don't we go to where I live? I also want to go back and take a look."

Rumeng looked at Shan Xiaochun and saw that he was angry. Then she looked at Duan Tianyang and finally nodded: "Okay."

Under the guidance of Duan Tianyang, the three of them passed through the narrow alley behind Zuixianju and came to a simple hut.

This cottage was bought by Duan Tianyang himself. When he stepped into the house, everything was still the same, but it was much cleaner than before. The medicine bottles and jars that were once scattered around were now carefully put in order.

Duan Tianyang looked around and looked at Rumeng, wondering, "This room seems to be a lot cleaner than before."

Rumeng smiled and explained, "Since Brother Tianyang left, I often sent people to clean up, thinking that you would come back one day and it would be more comfortable for you to live here."

After Duan Tianyang left Bailu City, Rumeng would often come here and sit alone, as if she could feel Duan Tianyang's presence in this little house.

Shan Xiaochun's eyes moved between the two of them, his brows knitted slightly, and he muttered in dissatisfaction: "How can people live in this place? It's so shabby and rotten, it's simply unimaginable."

After saying that, she naturally rolled up Duan Tianyang's sleeves, raised her chin, and her eyes flashed with expectation: "Come on, A Tian, ​​follow me to meet my parents."

She pulled and tugged, but Duan Tianyang remained as steady as a rock and didn't move at all.

She stared at him in confusion and urged him, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up! Let my parents know that it was you who escorted me back. They will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Duan Tianyang shook his head gently, his tone firm: "No, you have returned to Bailu City safely, and my mission is also completed. Let's say goodbye now."

Shan Xiaochun was anxious when he heard this. He clenched his sleeves tighter and asked anxiously, "Do you want to abandon me like this?"

Duan Tianyang smiled bitterly and reiterated: "You have arrived home safely."

Shan Xiaochun was speechless for a moment, then she thought quickly: "You worked so hard to send me back, my father will definitely thank you generously!" She thought for a long time and could only think of using money as an excuse to keep him.

Duan Tianyang smiled slightly, gently pushed her hand away, and explained: "The money I have is enough for me to go back to Xiguan."

He gained a lot of silver from the two men in black in the inn.

Shan Xiaochun unwillingly grabbed his sleeve again, pouted her lips, and said coquettishly: "I don't care, you have to take me to the door of my house."

These days, she has become accustomed to Duan Tianyang's company. Now facing separation, she feels mixed emotions, a mixture of sadness and reluctance.

Noticing the look from Rumeng, Duan Tianyang sighed inwardly and said apologetically, "Rumeng, how about I send Miss Shan back first and come to see you another day."

Ru Meng heard this, although she looked disappointed, she still nodded sensibly and agreed: "Okay, Brother Tianyang, I'll wait for you at Zuixianju."

"Let's go!" Duan Tianyang said to Shan Xiaochun unhappily.

"Hmph! You're smart!" Shan Xiaochun pulled Duan Tianyang up, glanced at Rumeng smugly, and walked out of the house.

As soon as she saw the intimacy between Duan Tianyang and Rumeng, Shan Xiaochun felt uncomfortable. Coupled with the attractive appearance of the other party, she felt an inexplicable discomfort and urgent sense of crisis.
