CHAPTER 97: 97: ARE YOU DISGUSTED WITH ME? (PART 1)_1

Liang Haoming glanced at her helplessly, then lowered his head to look at the rabbit, the redness at the corner of his eyes, however, deepened a few shades without a word.

Dong Huiying sighed lightly, "That matter isn’t your fault, if anything must be blamed..." her darkened small eyes flicking towards Zhu Xingfang. She was the root of all evil!!

Haoming fell silent for a moment, the rabbit in his arms was too fat, laying heavily in the crook of his arm.

He gently exhaled, and afterward, a surge of emotion seemed to swell within him as he involuntarily fixated his gaze on Dong Huiying, only to see the young girl as though struck by some thought, her dark little paw suddenly slapping the back of Zhu Xingfang’s head.

This scene was inexplicably comical, even for Liang Haoming, who had a chronic poker face, and he was caught off guard as the corner of his lips twitched.

Dong Huiying was suddenly taken aback, "You... you smiled?"

She blinked hard, she hadn’t seen wrong, had she? Did he really smile??

Was she seeing things?

But upon looking again, she saw that the man had reverted to his usual stern and stiff-faced expression.

Dong Huiying: "........."

Could it really be that she was seeing things!!

...

The town was still the same as ever.

The marketplace was bustling, with a dazzling array of goods.

However, since their arrival in town, Dong Huiying noticed that Haoming seemed a bit uncomfortable, always keeping his head down and not looking ahead, but her observation of his expression, as calm as ever, gave no indication of what might be wrong.

"Excuse me, sister, could you help me out? I’d like to report something to the authorities, do you know which way the Government Office is?" Dong Huiying asked for directions; this sister owned a steamed bun shop and was very kind-hearted.

After she had the directions clear, Dong Huiying grasped Zhu Xingfang and was about to head for the Government Office, but then she paused for a brief moment.

"This person sure has a rugged look."

"Broad and brawny, with a huge scar on his face, who knows how he got it."

"Isn’t he a bit too scary? Like a ghoul!!"

Dong Huiying swiftly turned to look at them, spotting two aunties sneakily peeking at their group. When Dong Huiying looked toward them, they had an awkward moment.

"..."

Dong Huiying turned back to look at Liang Haoming, who kept his head down without a word.

With her brows slightly furrowed, she quickly dashed into a store.

"Shopkeeper, how much is one of these hats?"

"Ten coins."

"I’ll take one!"

Then, she grabbed the hat and rushed toward Liang Haoming at breakneck speed, got on her tiptoes, stretched her arm straight, and with a snap, placed it onto Haoming’s head.

The brim was lined with a circle of black cloth, which naturally fell down, concealing Haoming’s features.

He was taken aback for a moment, his lips moved, but in the end, he just lowered his head again.

Cradling the chubby rabbit in one arm, he pursed his sensually chiseled, thin lips, feeling uncomfortable as he touched his own cheek.

Though he was a strapping man over one meter eighty in height, at this moment, he let his shoulders droop, radiating a sense of grievance without uttering a sound, looking quite pitiful. It was as if he was asking if she didn’t want to see his face because he wasn’t handsome, because he was too ugly, so that was why...

Dong Huiying rubbed her neck, "That, don’t overthink it. I just didn’t want you to feel uncomfortable?"

In her mind, it was no wonder that since their arrival in town, Liang Haoming, who was usually quiet and subdued, had become even more taciturn.

Because of the large scar on his face, which truly looked quite intimidating at first glance, but he possessed a handsome set of features, not the kind of effeminate men preferred by Dayuan women who were sizably built, with their peculiar aesthetics, liking those soft and delicate types of men.
