Chapter 665 - Leaving the Capital (1/2)

Bai Mu took a deep breath. ”You are …”

”Ah. I'm sorry. My name is Xiang Yong. His Majesty sent me to escort you and your wife.”

”Wi … Wife?” Nie Huang blushed and hurriedly took a step away from Bai Mu. They weren't married yet. How could she —

Bai Mu reached over and pulled her back with a smile. ”We're about to leave together. Do you really mind being called my wife?”

”That …” Nie Huang smiled back at him and nodded. ”You're right. Then … can I tell Mister Zhong?”

”Of course.” He let go of her hand and waited for her to go over.

Nie Huang looked at the person that had given her the chance to work in his teahouse back then, taking a gamble that could have had ruined his opening. ”Mister Zhong …”

”Miss Nie, you … you know that person?”

Nie Huang's cheeks flushed again and she nodded. ”Yes, that … is Bai Mu. My fiance. We'll be getting married soon.”

”Oh.”

”I … I know I'm making trouble for you, Mister Zhong, leaving this suddenly but —”

”Thank you for taking care of Ah Huang all this time.”

”No need to thank me. It's what I should have done. It was my honor to have her brew the tea in the teahouse. Without her, it certainly wouldn't have been as successful.”

”Ah, right!” Nie Huang bit her lower lip. ”Then Madam Zhong … will she be alright in the teahouse if I —”

”Don't worry about that!” Zhong Gang straightened up and patted his chest. ”I've managed this restaurant for a long time and the teahouse has always been doing well. It won't be a problem to find somebody to fill in for the time being.” He coughed. ”Naturally, it'll be difficult to find somebody who'll be as good as you …”

”Thank you, Mister Zhong.” Nie Huang nodded and turned to Bai Mu. ”Then we …”
