"So you were here to find her," Yan Wanqing teased.
Huai Xinmei's pretty face blushed, and she lowered her head, "You jest, Commandery Princess."
By this time, heavy footsteps of a man had already come from outside the door.
The heir of the City Lord Residence, long rumored about, Chen Di, led by a maid, entered the room.
His gaze first fell on Huai Xinmei, his eyes filled with joy. He was about to call out to her but then remembered that this was the Princess Residence and that his father had instructed him not to offend the Commandery Princess.
Chen Di kneeled on one knee, offering Yan Wanqing a salute, "Commandery Princess Anping, I wish you peace and prosperity."
"No need for such formalities." Her clear voice was like a lake surface after a sudden sweep of wind after the rain, refreshing and invigorating everyone around.
Chen Di was first astonished by her voice, then as he looked up and saw Yan Wanqing's face, he remained foolishly kneeling in place, stunned.
