Chapter 281: Chapter 282 Bought a car? (Third update) _1

Seeing Nan Feng insisting on picking the peaches, Mo Wenxuan also smoothed his clothes and squatted down to help pick up peaches. After picking, Mo Wenxuan insisted on escorting Nan Feng back, saying that Nan Feng’s leg was injured and she probably wouldn’t be able to walk.

Nan Feng had been preoccupied with picking peaches and reading the note and hadn’t paid much attention to her leg, but now, reminded by Mo Wenxuan, she realized it was indeed painful. Walking back would be quite difficult, and luckily, Mo Wenxuan had a horse carriage... well, she might as well ride it then.

Mo Wenxuan had his own coachman, so he didn’t have to drive himself. He sat face to face with Nan Feng.

He found Nan Feng sitting across him very beautiful. Due to the narrow space, he could smell a delicate fragrance from her, perhaps from some incense, or like the scent of osmanthus in August, which made him feel inexplicably intoxicated.

Nan Feng was oblivious to Mo Wenxuan’s feelings, merely looking around and touching here and there in the carriage. The body of the carriage was made of black Phoebe wood, decorated with silk and satin, it was very comfortable to sit in, much nicer than any she had hired before.

"Whose carriage did you borrow?" Nan Feng asked.

Mo Wenxuan felt somewhat wounded. He was sure he had just told her that he bought the carriage himself, but she didn’t seem to remember a word of it, so he replied rather displeasedly, "I bought it."

"Wow, impressive! You’ve only been out of the county town for half a year and you’ve already bought a carriage, I guess you’ll be buying a house soon?" Nan Feng asked politely.

Mo Wenxuan said, "Being a private tutor can bring in some income. I also frequently write legal documents for others, and submitting articles to the county government brings in rewards too. With some financial support from my family, I was able to buy this carriage."

"Not bad, given that you often need a ride, buying one is fine. How much was it?"

"The horse is ordinary, the horse and the carriage together cost forty taels of silver," Mo Wenxuan said.

Nan Feng said, "That’s not too expensive, I think I’ll buy one too sometime. It’s so inconvenient to walk everywhere. But I won’t hire a coachman, I’ll drive it myself."

Mo Wenxuan had spent all his savings on this carriage, expecting Nan Feng to admire him. But hearing her say that she was also going to buy one, and that it wasn’t expensive, as if buying a carriage was no big deal, it seemed that her shop was making quite a bit of money.

Perceiving that Mo Wenxuan had suddenly fallen silent, Nan Feng said, "I feel you’ve changed a lot lately."

Mo Wenxuan, who was swallowing a mouthful of saliva at the time, almost choked when he heard Nan Feng’s words, thinking she had noticed his feelings for her.

After coughing a few times, he managed to ask, "Oh? How do you think I’ve changed?"

"You’re a bit more sensible now than before, not as overbearing as you used to be in the village. Your temper has softened a bit, you aren’t as venomous in your words as you once were, and you don’t seem to look down on people as much."

So, according to her, he used to be overbearing, hard-tempered, spoke venomously and looked down on people?

How had he left such an impression on her?

But who could he blame? After all, this was how he used to treat her. He had even caused her to fall into a water vat, nearly killing her.

Mo Wenxuan wanted to explain something, but he didn’t know what to say. Just then, Nan Feng leaned out of the window and called, "We’re at Spikenard Square now, I should get off here!"

"Don’t you want to go to the Medical Hall and have a look?"

"No need, it’s just a minor cut, I’ll take care of it myself," She had some common herbs in her store.

...

Mo Wenxuan got off first, then helped Nan Feng down.

The previous carriages were quite high and Mo Wenxuan’s carriage didn’t have a stool for stepping up and down. Seeing Mo Wenxuan was extending a hand to her, Nan Feng took it to steady herself.

However, after she stepped down, she was taken aback.

At the entrance of the shop, a tall man was watching her.
