Just as the girl and the young man were whispering, a group of carriages slowly approached. The people riding in the lead were Shen Xin, Shen Qiu, and the others, followed by a group of soldiers.
“Father.” Shen Xin got off the horse. Shen Qiu quickly followed and ran to Luo Sui with a smile. “Grandfather.”
Luo Sui’s gaze swept past the father and son before landing on the carriage. After all, who he wanted to see the most was his granddaughter.
A chubby madam smiled and said, “Jiaojiao should be in the carriage. They must be travel-worn after taking such a long journey.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted. Jingzhe and Gu Yu helped Luo Xueyan out. Luo Xueyan reached into the carriage to help a little girl get down.
The little girl bent down and got off the carriage. She looked up, revealing a beautiful face. Luo Xueyan held her hand and said, “Jiaojiao, we’re home.”
The girl called Luo Tan opened her mouth but did not speak.
The wind in Spring City was strong and the weather was dry. It was rare for girls to have fair skin. Shen Miao, on the other hand, was very delicate, and because of her snow-white skin, she looked like a painting. She had dark eyebrows, black eyes, a small nose, and red and moist lips.
However, what was most eye-catching was her aura. Held by Luo Xueyan, she looked very delicate but by no means weak. Instead, she looked even more dignified and noble, as if she was the one in charge.
The surrounding commoners and the Luo family were a little dumbfounded.
For a woman, appearance was secondary. Compared to having a good appearance, temperament was more attractive.
She followed Luo Xueyan step by step and walked up to Luo Sui. Luo Sui was tall, with deep eyes and a high nose. Compared to Shen Xin’s roughness, he looked even more serious and unapproachable. He frowned and stared at Shen Miao. With such a cold expression, if she was a timid girl, she would probably be frightened to tears. Shen Miao looked like a delicate and noble girl from the capital. Everyone thought that she would definitely be frightened out of her wits. Tan and the young man revealed a stifled smile, wanting to see the good show.
Shen Miao looked up and met Luo Sui’s eyes. Her eyebrows were relaxed, and her body was at ease. Clearly, she was not nervous under Luo Sui’s gaze. Her eyes were calm, and she even smiled slightly. The attitude of a superior to a subordinate actually stunned Luo Sui.
The attitude of a superior to a subordinate?
The Luo family was like a city lord in Spring City. How could there be a superior?
After being stunned for a moment, Luo Sui suddenly laughed out loud. His laughter shocked the people around him. Luo Sui patted Shen Miao’s head and shouted loudly, “Girl, why are you not greeting me?”
“Grandfather,” Shen Miao replied meekly.
Only then did Luo Xueyan heave a sigh of relief. Luo Sui was different from Shen Xin. Shen Xin doted on Shen Miao to the extreme, but Luo Sui had been a strict father. Even Luo Xueyan was afraid of him. Now that Luo Sui was old, he was not as stern as before, but his habit of intimidating young people did not change. She was afraid that Shen Miao would be scared. Fortunately, Shen Miao did not have a big reaction.
At the same time, Shen Miao’s attitude surprised the people around her. She didn’t seem to be a good-for-nothing and actually had some courage. Tan whispered into the young man’s ear indignantly, “She must be pretending to be calm!”
