Chapter 383 (113 words added)
Through the window, Murong Xun spotted a graceful figure on the snow. She was dressed in a plain white fox fur coat, her black hair casually tied up, a few stray strands dancing lightly in the cold wind, adding to her lively charm. Murong Xun's heart skipped a beat, and he involuntarily took a step towards her.
Snowflakes fell softly, landing on her shoulders, but she was oblivious, engrossed in gazing at the red plum blossom in her hand. Murong Xun approached and said softly, "Such a beautiful scene, young lady, you certainly have a refined taste."
She slowly raised her head, her bright eyes like a deep pool, filled with surprise and shyness. "Greetings, young master." Her voice was soft, like a spring breeze that dispelled the chill of winter.
Murong Xun looked at the red plum blossom in her hand and smiled, "This red plum blossom looks even more beautiful in the snow, just like you, young lady." Her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head and said, "Young master, you flatter me."
The two stood there in the snow, chatting happily, as if they were the only two people left in the world. Suddenly, a shout came from afar: "Miss, it's time to go back." Reluctantly, she said softly, "Young Master, farewell." With that, she gave a graceful bow and turned to leave. Murong Xun stared at her retreating figure, unable to recover for a long time, a seed of longing planted in his heart.
"May I ask what brings Miss Xue to our residence?" Murong Xun looked up and saw a woman in magnificent palace attire staring at him with displeasure. He then realized that he had unknowingly wandered into his own garden, and the woman before him was none other than his spoiled cousin, Xue Wanyi. "Cousin, this young lady is merely enjoying the snow in the garden; there's nothing else to discuss," Murong Xun explained calmly. Xue Wanyi snorted coldly, "Hmph, a woman of unknown identity, daring to flaunt herself so openly in my Murong residence! Cousin, aren't you going to do anything about it?" Murong Xun frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, but still patiently said, "Cousin, please don't take it to heart. We just happened to meet and exchanged a few words." Xue Wanyi persisted, "A chance encounter? Cousin, look at you, so distraught! You've probably been bewitched by that vixen." Murong Xun's face darkened, and he was about to retort when he saw that figure in white appear again in the distance. It turned out she had left her handkerchief behind and had turned back to look for it. Xue Wanyi followed his gaze, a flash of jealousy in her eyes. She quickly stepped forward and snatched the handkerchief from the woman's hand. "Did you lose this? Don't you know where you are? Get out of here!"
The woman, startled by the sudden appearance of Miss Xue, looked aggrieved and stammered, "I just came back to get a handkerchief..." Xue Wanyi crossed her arms and snapped, "Get out of here! Don't dirty the grounds of my Murong residence!" Murong Xun could no longer contain himself and stepped forward to block the woman. "Cousin, you mustn't be so rude!" Xue Wanyi stamped her foot and said, "Cousin, how could you treat me like this for this wild woman!" Just as the atmosphere became tense, the steward rushed over. "Miss Xue, the supplies you delivered have been counted. Master invites you to the main hall for a chat." Xue Wanyi snorted coldly, glared at the woman, and stormed off. Murong Xun turned around and looked at the woman apologetically, "I'm sorry to have startled you, young lady. My cousin is always spoiled, so please don't take it to heart." The woman smiled slightly, "It's alright, thank you for protecting me, young master." At this moment, the snow began to fall again. Murong Xun took out a hand warmer from his pocket and handed it to her, "It's cold, please take this." The woman blushed as she accepted it, and the two smiled at each other. In the snowy landscape, affection quietly spread.
