Chapter 58 Question
After about two-quarters of an hour, An Yun and Zang Ya’s carriage finally arrived.
The carriage stopped, and the groom driving outside the door announced something into the carriage, and Zang Ya walked out holding An Yun’s hand.
After getting off the carriage, An Yun discovered that they were on a busy street. Although it had not been as lively as when he went to attend the lantern festival, there was a flow of people coming and going all around, and it didn’t look much different.
“Young master, where are we?”
Zang Ya looked at An Yun and said directly, “We are now in Donghua Street, the busiest street in the city. We have a lot of time today. You can stroll around as you like. By the way, I also brought enough money. Whatever you like, I can buy it all for you.”
Zang Ya had specifically asked Song Lin for this opinion and learned from him that most of the shuangers and ladies liked to go shopping. Coming to this bustling street, no matter what they liked, they could always find something they liked.
After listening to Zang Ya’s words, An Yun felt a little happy and nodded toward the person in front of him, “Yes.”
Actually, An Yun felt that he didn’t need to buy anything, but when he heard Zang Ya say this, he still felt happy.
Seeing the smile on An Yun’s face, Zang Ya smiled unconsciously, and then he directly took An Yun’s hand and walked toward the surrounding shops as usual.
An Yun was a little uncomfortable at first. Zang Ya would only hold his hand at home on weekdays. The last time he held his hand like this was at night, but this day in the clear sky still made him feel a little shy.
Zang Ya noticed An Yun’s slight resistance. He turned to look at An Yun with a bit of confusion in his eyes, which was revealed when he spoke, “What’s wrong?”
“Isn’t it not good for us to hold hands like this?” An Yun whispered, a bit of embarrassment on his face. He could even notice the crowd around him, and their eyes fell on him and Zang Ya. The eyes were not very subtle, and the curiosity and surprise in them could be clearly seen, as if they felt that they were too bold.
Zang Ya tilted his head and looked at An Yun with a surprised tone. “Why is it bad? We are like this in the mansion. Why can’t we do it when we come out?”
An Yun wanted to say that they were at home at that time and were surrounded by people who knew them, so naturally, they wouldn’t think they were strange. But now that they were out, they naturally couldn’t continue like that.
However, before An Yun could say these words, he saw Zang Ya’s face turn a little ugly. His eyes narrowed slightly, forming a dangerous arc, and he asked him directly, “Don’t you want me to hold you?”
There was even a bit of imperceptible annoyance in this tone, as well as a bit of anger that was visible to the naked eye.
An Yun didn’t know what to say, but after hearing Zang Ya’s question, he subconsciously replied, “No, I’m not unwilling. I just feel it’s weird in the public.”
But Zang Ya listened to An Yun’s words as if he had found some basis and said directly, “Since there is no unwillingness, then we can keep doing this. As for the people next to us who want to watch, let them watch. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us.”
An Yun wanted to say something more, but Zang Ya asked again, “Do you care about these outsiders more than you care about me?”
There was a bit of surprise on An Yun’s face. Why did he feel that Zang Ya’s question was a bit strange, like the tone of those young lovers he had seen quarrelling in his previous life, which made him feel a little weird. “What nonsense are you talking about?! Of course, you are more important than these people.”
Zang Ya showed some relief on his face and then said, “Since I am more important than them, then you just care about me. As for them, you can pretend not to see them. If anyone dares to say anything, I will directly beat him to death. They wouldn’t dare to say anything more.”
Embarrassment appeared on An Yun’s face.
Zang Ya pulled him toward a luxurious-looking store next to them. As he walked, he said, “This store is very famous in the city. Their products are very good. You can take a look. If you like it, we can pick some and take them back.”
After saying that, Zang Ya never mentioned letting go of An Yun again and just pulled him along toward the store.
An Yun was pulled by Zang Ya and almost staggered. When he came to his senses, he looked up and saw the words ‘Phoenix Pavilion’ written on the plaque. He was in shock, thinking that if this place dared to use this name, it might have some origins, and he was looking forward to what was inside.
As soon as he entered, An Yun didn’t see the good things he had imagined and was shocked by the chaos inside.
Note
The word phoenix and dragon were owned by the royal family in the ancient times, just like the embroidery of phoenix and dragon that could only be worn by the emperor and the empress.
