Bab 527: Sudden Affability (2)

When Fan Zhuo opened the main doors in front of the yard, he was surprised a moment as he looked at the beautiful girl standing outside. His eyes flashed briefly with an unidentifiable emotion but it quickly disappeared.

"Little Xin?" Fan Zhuo looked puzzled, as his eyes fell on Ning Xin, a person he had not seen for a long time.

Although the two of them were betrothed to each other in marriage, Fan Zhuo's declining health by the day had soon stopped anyone from bringing the topic up. In order for him to have a proper place to recuperate, Fan Zhuo had moved into the little bamboo grove and Ning Xin was seldom seen to appear at this place.

He remembered the last time Ning Xin came here was more than a year ago.

"Big brother Zhuo." Ning Xin's face lit up in an innocent sweet smile, looking like the pure and naive little girl next door, that made people warm up to her easily.
