The sound of rain hitting the umbrella was audible, and the soaked Bian Weikang turned his head, seeing a woman with an umbrella approaching, twisting a bead of Sandalwood Gold Illumination in her hand, her cloak and skirt hem already drenched by the rain.
From her silhouette alone, he recognized who it was. As she approached, the captivating face under her hat was unmistakable—it was indeed Xiang Laner.
A warmth instantly filled his heart, and he hastily said, "Why have you run here? The rain is too heavy, go back quickly."
Xiang Laner sheltered him under her umbrella, letting a good part of her body get soaked in the rain, and reached out to support him, "My lord, never mind that, we don't have to rely on anyone, we can live on our own."
