Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife Chapter 642 - Quite A Sprinter

Chapter 642: Quite A Sprinter

Dongfang Ming was not even willing to look her way, much less speak to her.
Fortunately for her, Wang Xiangyun just loved sticking to cold shoulders!
“Brother Ming, weren’t you trying to draw that picture yesterday? Why don’t we go see her? I’d really like to meet her.”
When a conversation became stagnant, the natural course of action was to change the topic, right? Wang Xiangyun had experimented with this many times, of course it only worked in front of others, not him.
However, this time Dongfang Ming actually responded. He lowered his eyes and looked at Wang Xiangyun, whose eyes were still obviously puffy.
“Xiangyun, either you go back to the capital or disappear from my sight! Stop following me!”
He said this as he walked towards the horse carriage he had requested earlier and took one majestic leap onto the vehicle. Instantly, the coachman drove the carriage away along with Dongfang Ming in it.
He did not want Wang Xiangyun to meet Liu Duo, as he did not want Liu Duo to know that he had a wedding contract.
Little Tian witnessed the scene and frowned. She walked towards the lady and spoke, “Miss, I think we should…”
She had not finished speaking when Wang Xiangyun quickly raised a hand and interrupted her, “Little Tian, prepare a carriage! Since Brother Ming so badly refuses to see me, I will follow him and I will make my presence known!”
When Dongfang Ming told her that he wanted to cancel their engagement, it had really frightened her, but after Little Tian’s reminder last night, she was even more determined to face the challenge. Regardless of how distant he treated her, she would cling to him no matter what.
Seeing her unwavering resolution, Little Tian went on to get them a carriage.
They got on, and Wang Xiangyun gave instructions to chase after Dongfang Ming.
“Boss, I think Miss Wang’s carriage is gaining on us,” the coachman said to Dongfang Ming, who was resting in the coach.
Dongfang Ming might have been resting his eyes, but he already knew that.
He snapped them open and, in a calm and stable voice, said, “Stop here.”
On his orders, the coachman pulled on the reins, causing the horse to come to a halt.
Holding a folding fan, Dongfang Ming stepped out of the curtained door. “You wait here. If I’m not back in five, you take the carriage back.”
Then he hopped down from the carriage and entered the woods nearby.
The coachman noticed that Dongfang Ming had barely walked a few steps before vanishing from his sight. He found this very unbelievable. He was quite a sprinter, wasn’t he?
The other coachman saw that and brought his carriage to a stop too. “Miss, Mr. Dongfang has left his carriage. He went into the woods.”
Wang Xiangyun was befuddled. She did not know why Dongfang Ming left his carriage, and she was about to go ask when Little Tian stopped her.
“Miss, Mr. Dongfang might have just gone to relieve himself. We’ll just wait. If you go and ask, do you think the coachman will tell you about that?”
She believed that most people would probably stop here to relieve themselves, because people have needs.
Convinced, Wang Xiangyun returned to her seat once more. She pushed aside the curtain and peered outside, hoping to see Dongfang Ming reemerge from the woods.
But Dongfang Ming had not gone in there to relieve himself. Rather, he pressed on with his journey where the coachman could not see him. He kept walking until he estimated he had arrived at the main road far away from their sight, and then he exited the woods.
His pair of luxury silk boots were covered in mud by then. Dongfang Ming merely smiled.
He unfolded his fan, moved it about, and continued walking.
His coachman realized that five minutes had passed. His master had yet to emerge from the woods. So, he turned the carriage around and began to make the return trip.
Wang Xiangyun’s coachman saw that and reported to her. “Miss, Mr. Dongfang’s coachman is turning the carriage this way. They must be heading back to town.”
