Chapter 902: Chapter 902 Keep a Close Eye

On the day they released the sky lanterns, she had thought, if she truly couldn’t return to the modern era and was destined to drift alone in the ancient times, then once she grew tired of it, she would seek out Tuoba Lie.

Just as Tuoba Lie had said, in this world apart from him, there was no second person who could bear with her and love her like that.

Yes, despite his notorious reputation, he listened to her. As long as she was willing to patiently guide him, he would surely be able to change his cruel ways from before.

But now, the tighter Tuoba Lie pressed, the more Nan Feng resisted and detested him.

Just like on this journey, both sides of her carriage were flanked by knife-wielding guards watching over her. As soon as she dismounted, he demanded her company at every turn, whether meeting the local Prefect or other officials, claiming she was his woman and having those people address her as Lady.

Now that they had arrived in Shangzhi City, he still expected her to accompany him.

"My lady, please dismount," Tuoba Lie said from outside, extending his hand towards Nan Feng, wanting to help her down from the horse.

Nan Feng exited the carriage, deliberately avoiding his hand, intending to jump down from the other side. However, two guards stood on that side and unless she stepped over their heads, she couldn’t descend at all, forcing her to go back to Tuoba Lie’s side. Instead of taking his hand, she attempted to jump down anyway. But as she leaped, he stepped forward, so she ended up falling right into his arms.

"You, woman, are you so eager to see me? You jumped towards me without hesitation?" Tuoba Lie still had the audacity to laugh.

Nan Feng wanted to take a step back, but the carriage was immediately behind her. As she moved back, her waist bumped against the wooden board. Seeing this, Tuoba Lie swiftly wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her towards him. Nan Feng’s whole body was pressed tightly against Tuoba Lie.

"Tuoba Lie, don’t be so shameless. The county magistrate is watching you," she said.

Only then did Tuoba Lie release Nan Feng’s waist, drawing closer to her lips as if he was about to kiss her, then he let go at the last moment. "Never mind, I won’t pressure you," he said.

The official from Shangzhi City who came to meet them was not Song Cheng but a Clerk, who reported that some disputes had occurred in the city. Song Cheng had just rushed over and likely wouldn’t return until night, so they could only come to meet the Second Prince after nightfall.

Tuoba Lie was indifferent. "It’s fine. We’re only staying for one night anyways. Just make sure the arrangements are in order," he said.

"Everything has already been arranged. This way, please, Your Highness. You can have dinner shortly, and after dinner, I’ll arrange the accommodations for His Highness," the Clerk said.

As Nan Feng ate, she looked at Tuoba Lie, but she had lost her appetite.

Tuoba Lie kept serving her food and endlessly spoke words intending to flirt with her, which made Nan Feng feel uncomfortable. She ate a few mouthfuls haphazardly and then announced she wanted to retire to her room to rest.

In front of Nan Feng, Tuoba Lie was all smiles, but as soon as she turned away, his expression darkened instantly, and he quickly signalled to the guards at the doorway with a glance. The guard received the order and immediately went to stand watch outside Nan Feng’s room.

When Song Cheng returned, Tuoba Lie had nearly finished eating. The two chatted for a while, discussing the matters Song Cheng was handling and the future terms to be reached between the two nations, such as establishing economic exchanges.

Eventually, they reached an understanding to set up a mobile market at the border, allowing the people from both nations to buy and sell goods there. Dajin could sell materials like rice and textiles, while Dashun could offer products such as sheepskin, mutton, and cow milk.
