Abandoning the carriage to walk, Mu Ge did not parade ostentatiously through the streets like the former Mu Qingge, bringing along a full entourage. This time, she didn't even bring a single servant with her.
Seeing this, Qin Jinhao also only brought one guard along.
Invited to accompany them, Bai Xiyue followed behind the two with her face veiled in light gauze, her white dress fluttering, looking delicate and pitiable. Her personal maid, Lv Zhi, vigilantly guarded her sides, shielding her from gazes both overt and covert.
Mu Ge's eyes swept over Bai Xiyue's deer-in-the-headlights demeanor with some disdain.
Bringing her out had drawn some disapproval, even from Mu Xiong, and those two little maidservants' eyes were full of disagreement.
Yet, she didn't change her decision.
She wanted to see what sparks would fly between Bai Xiyue and Qin Jinhao with her nudging. Also, how Bai Xiyue, who had shown concern and worry in front of her the previous night, seemed to have her eyes glued to Qin Jinhao upon seeing him today.
This orphan girl residing in the Mu Family, what exactly was her plan, Mu Ge wondered.
Not just Bai Xiyue, even Qin Jinhao's behavior was a bit odd.
With his cold, aloof demeanor, he seemed like a man not interested in women. Yet he showed sympathy to Bai Xiyue while pretending indifference.
"Tsk tsk, such hypocrites!" Both Bai Xiyue and Qin Jinhao naturally irked Mu Ge.
Perhaps her nature was suited to forthright and sincere people.
Luodu had nine main streets, considered as the trunk roads. From there, countless streets extended like a spider web around the very center, the Imperial Palace.
The main street was the most bustling area in Luodu. Many renowned businesses were situated here, making the main street like what is called a commercial hub on Earth, and an upscale one at that.
Ordinary families' annual income might not even cover a meal at a restaurant on the main street.
Following Qin Jinhao out, Mu Ge wasn't after any gifts from him. She simply wanted to figure out why this high-ranking man spoke to her so softly and attentively.
Wouldn't this unique attitude towards her stir the heart of the former Mu Qingge?
Mu Ge slightly turned her gaze towards the transparent figure following her. Indeed, those eyes had been fixed on Qin Jinhao since leaving the Mu Mansion.
Shaking her head quietly, Mu Ge could hardly agree with Mu Qingge's judgment of people.
Indeed, Qin Jinhao possessed an air of nobility, with handsome features and rugged looks, a rare handsome man. And being a prince, even if he couldn't become an emperor, he'd still be a king.
Such a man fits the perfect dream husband image in a maiden's heart.
But how could such a person be inclined to romantic entanglements? At least, from Mu Ge's several encounters with Qin Jinhao, despite his apparent care, she couldn't see any warmth or sincerity in his eyes.
All just an act to achieve his goals.
Falling in love with such a person is destined to bring misfortune. Mu Qingge was like this, and so was the ambiguous Bai Xiyue.
Qin Jinhao's heart would never be captivated by a woman.
How could such a simple truth be so hard for these foolish women to see? Mu Ge sneered internally. She forgot that not everyone observes as clearly as she does.
"Qingge, is there anything you wish for? Wandering aimlessly on this street seems a little silly." Suddenly, Qin Jinhao stopped and asked Mu Ge in a gentle tone.
