Minutes later, Jiang Yao led the way outside the palace with Luo Xiao following closely. It was the first time since the two had entered Cloudsoar City that Luo Xiao got to see the busy outside world again.
Truly, busy was the best way to describe it. If the palace was like a quiet, calm oasis in the middle of the city, the city itself was like a busy marketplace. Thankfully, a carriage had been arranged to wait for the two of them next to the palace doors so neither of them would have to deal with other people interrupting them.
Once inside the carriage and hidden from prying eyes, Jiang Yao’s expression lit up from its previous coldness. He glanced at the still blushing Luo Xiao next to him before looking away.
If one didn’t know him well, they would think he was just pretending to be happy in order to gain something. But Jiang Yao truly was happy; he had just gotten a kiss he hadn’t initiated himself!
