Just Blame His Bad Luck

Today, the weather was perfect—sunshine everywhere, not a cloud in sight. The sunlight made the leaves of the phoenix tree look extra lush and green, and everything seemed even more vibrant than usual.

Handsome and distinguished, he radiated a natural nobility that even emperors and princes of the royal family couldn’t match.

No wonder Evan Xiao was the man every woman in Danyang City wanted to marry...

To be honest, Grace really liked his good looks.

But, aside from borrowing him to restore her Spirit Root, she honestly hadn’t thought about anything else.

Still, after what Nanny just said, she suddenly felt a little guilty.

He showed up at her doorstep—was he really just passing by?

Could it be that he actually liked her?

After all, she was pretty gorgeous, wasn’t she?

It would be totally normal for him to fall for her.

Besides, both Cecilia Chen and Steward Qin said so.

If he really likes her, that's going to be a headache...

Thinking this, Grace had already walked up to Evan Xiao and asked, "General, what brings you here today?"

Evan Xiao replied, "Business."

Grace: "..."

"Where did you go?" He'd already been waiting for two hours.

"My aunt was celebrating her birthday. She lives in the village across the mountain, so we went to her place for a meal."

"Let's go." Evan Xiao suddenly placed his big hand on her waist, lifted her onto the horse, then mounted behind her.

Grace was so startled by the sudden lift that she couldn't react for a moment. When she finally came to her senses, she turned to look at Evan Xiao.

But to her surprise, when he saw her turn to look at him, he lowered his head and asked, very close to her, "What's wrong?"
