Chapter 210: Gift

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Rest early; I’ll head back to the mansion first.”

Having said that, Xiao Nanye prepared to leave. However, Jiang Peihuan’s voice echoed behind him. “You prepared a gift for me. In return, I have also prepared a gift for you.”

“What gift?”

“Wait a moment.”

With that, Jiang Peihuan walked into the courtyard.

Moments later, Xiao Nanye saw her return with a cloak in her hands.

The entire cloak was crafted from snow-white fur.

Jiang Peihuan had made it using rabbit fur she had collected in the West Mountains.

Initially, Jiang Peihuan wanted to find high-quality pelts to craft a cloak for Xiao Nanye. But after injuring her hand, she couldn’t hunt any longer.

So, she used the fur from the rabbits she personally hunted to sew the cloak.

“Winter might come early this year. I had planned to give it to you when it gets colder, but I’ll give it to you now.”

Hearing this, Xiao Nanye didn’t respond verbally. Instead, he reached out, took the cloak from her hands, and put it on.

To the astonishment of those present, Xiao Nanye wore the snow-white cloak. While white could appear bulky, Xiao Nanye’s tall and slender physique made him look even more noble with it.

Turning to Jiang Peihuan with a smile, Xiao Nanye asked, “How is it?”

Jian Peihuan carefully looked at the man’s cloak. Seeing that the size and length were very suitable, she nodded,, “It fits perfectly.”

“Master, if we don’t leave soon, the sky will turn dark.”

Just as Xiao Nanye was reveling in the moment, a voice broke the mood.

Glancing coldly at Han Feng, Xiao Nanye spoke softly to Jiang Peihuan, “I really like this cloak. I’ll head back to the mansion now. Rest early.”

“Yes.”

This time, Jiang Peihuan truly went back to her room.

Xiao Nanye watched her figure disappear into the doorway, Xiao Nanye turned around and left.

Seeing this, Han Feng quickly followed.

Perhaps it was because he was used to climbing over the wall, even though Xiao Nanye entered through the main door, he didn’t seem inclined to exit the same way. Instead, he climb over the backwall.

The guards of the mansion were already accustomed to Xiao Nanye’s antics. Seeing him and his servant climb the wall, they acted as if they saw nothing.

Xiao Nanye sat on Zhui Yun’s back while Han Feng followed beside him.

Noticing the white cloak on Xiao Nanye in contrast to his own thin clothing, Han Feng felt a pang of envy.

“Keep staring, and 1’11 gouge out your eyes.”

“Master, do you think 1 should find a wife too?”

Hearing this, Xiao Nanye turned to look at his secret guard.

After a long stare, Xiao Nanye responded coldly, “Who would want you?”

After saying that, Xiao Nanye patted the back of Zhui Yun’s and left Han Feng behind.

Watching Xiao Nanye’s retreating figure, Han Feng sighed silently.

Back at the General’s Mansion, in the plum garden.

“Eldest Miss, it seems a bit windy tonight. Should I get a thicker blanket for you?”

Years ago, on the battlefield, Jiang Peihuan had contracted a lingering ailment, making her sensitive to cold. Even in summer, she needed a blanket.

Having set up Jiang Peihuan’s bed, Yue Er turned to see Jiang Peihuan, who was seated by the table, and asked.

Gently stroking the wolf tooth bracelet on her wrist, Jiang Peihuan nodded in agreement, “Please do.”

“Understood.”

After hearing Jiang Peihuan’s response, Yue Er retrieved a thicker blanket from a nearby chest.

However, just as she finished laying it out, a white figure darted onto the bed.

“How dare you get on the eldest miss’s bed? Come down quickly!”

Just as Yue Er had the bed arranged, the little wolf cubs burrowed into the blanket. Seeing this, Yue Er could not help but frown.

“Eldest Miss, have you seen Xiao Bai?”

At this time, Lu Er walked into Jiang Peihuan’s room in a hurry.

With a calm demeanor, Jiang Peihuan responded, “Xiao Bai is the name you gave to the little wolf cub?”

“Yeah, it has white fur all over its body. The name Xiao Bai fits it perfectly.”

“It’s on the eldest Miss bed. Quick, get it down.”

When Yue Er knew that Xiao Bai was a wolf, she did not dare to hug it. But now that she saw it on Jiang Peihuan’s bed, she mustered courage, lifted the blanket, and prepared to pick it up.

However, Yue Er reached out several times but failed to catch it.

This left Yue Er panting with exhaustion.

Annoyed, she glared at Xiao Bai and then turned to Lu Er.

Watching this, both Jiang Peihuan and Lu Er couldn’t help but smile.

“Let me try.”

Saying so, Lu Er stepped forward. Yet, this time, Xiao Bai wouldn’t let her touch it either.

“Stop messing around, come down!”

Seeing Xiao Bai diving deeper into the bed, Lu Er’s eyes showed a touch of urgency. Since she didn’t feel it was appropriate to get on Jiang Peihuan’s bed, she stood by the side, reaching out.

“Never mind, let it stay in my room tonight.”

Looking at the scene in front of her, Jiang Peihuan said with a smile.

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Yue Er and Lu Er did not say anything.

Soon, the two of them left Jiang Peihuan’s room.

Lifting the blanket, Jiang Peihuan lay down on the bed. As soon as she lay down, Xiao Bai burrowed into Jiang Peihuan’s arms.

It even licked Jiang Peihuan’s face with its tongue.

“You little thing, you’re a wolf, yet you act just like a puppy.”

Jiang Peihuan stroked Xiao Bai’s head and hugged it closely.

Usually an early riser, Jiang Peihuan was awakened today by the sounds of laughter outside.

Opening her eyes, she saw Xiao Bai peacefully sleeping by her bedside.

She smiled and tucked it into the blanket.

“Eldest Miss, you’re awake.”

As Yue Er gently pushed the door open, she saw that Jiang Peihuan had already sat up. She greeted her with a cheerful voice.

Looking at her, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “What’s happening outside? It’s so noisy.”

“Eldest Miss, it’s snowing.”

“The young maids are all playing in the snow outside.”

“Snowing?”

Hearing Yue Er’s words, surprise flashed in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes. Seeing Yue Er nod, Jiang Peihuan immediately went to the window.

Pushing it open, all she saw was a world blanketed in white.

“It’s only November, and it’s already snowing.”

“The capital gets cold early. In previous years, it would snow by the end of November. This year, it’s just half a month early.”

“But by the time of your wedding to King Cheng, it might be the coldest.”

“Eldest Miss, His Highness King Cheng is here.”

Before Yue Er could finish her sentence, Lu Er’s voice came from outside.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Peihuan subconsciously looked outside the door.

There in the courtyard stood a man wrapped in a snow-white cloak – the very one Jiang Peihuan gave him the previous night. However, he now held a dark wooden box in his hands.

“Greetings to your highness.”

Yue Er looked at Xiao Nanye who was walking over and quickly bowed..
