The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 245: a moon-shaped birthmark

Translator: Vesper

The back of Ning Meng Yao’s ear was not special, other than a moon-shaped birthmark that was the size of a nail.

Having a birthmark or two on the body was normal, but Xiao Yi Lin could not fathom seeing the birthmark on her made. How could this be?

“You...just who are you?” Xiao Yi Lin’s voice trembled and his eyes were filled with anxiousness.

Xiao Yi Lin’s sudden change made Ning Meng Yao frown unhappily: “What do you want to do now?”

“No, nothing.” Xiao Yi Lin immediately shook his head.

Now was not the time to be stuck on it. He had to first investigate. That’s right, he had to leave right this instant.

At the thought, Xiao Yi Lin staggered out. At his final step, he looked as if he was running.

Ning Meng Yao knitted her brows. Why did she feel like Xiao Yi Lin had suddenly turned crazy?

“What happened to him? How strange.” Ning Meng Yao frowned. Wasn’t his reaction from the start to now too different?

Qiao Tian Chang raised his brow: “I don’t know.”

If he did not remember it wrong, Xiao Yi Lin stared at the spot behind Ning Meng Yao’s ear. There was a beautiful birthmark there, resembling a crescent. It was not big, only the size of a fingernail.

Leaning his head to the side, he looked at the birthmark behind Ning Meng Yao’s ear and his eyes squinted. Could it be because of this birthmark?

“Tian Chang, what are you thinking about?” Ning Meng Yao called out Qiao Tian Chang a few times but he did not respond, only frowning while deep in thought, which puzzled her.

Qiao Tian Chang rubbed Ning Meng Yao’s ear and told her about the birthmark behind her ear.

“Don’t rub it. It feels itchy,” Ning Meng Yao pushed away the hand that was rubbing behind her ear. “Why are you acting so strange too?”

“The reason why Xiao Yi Lin misbehaved was probably because of this birthmark behind your ear.” Qiao Tian Chang put Ning Meng Yao’s hand on his palm.

Ning Meng Yao went to rub the birthmark behind her ear. She knew about this birthmark.

Before, Big Sister Mei and the others had told her that this birthmark was pretty. But what did this have anything to do with Xiao Yi Lin?

“What does this have to do with him?” Ning Meng Yao cast her doubt.

Xiao Yi Lin’s behavior before seemed too agitated, as if..... as if he saw something unbelievable.

“I’m not clear about this either. If he recognizes this birthmark, then he would come and find us soon enough.” Qiao Tian Chang did not let Ning Meng Yao get too entangled into it and pulled her hand: “We’ve been in the capital for quite some time now, but you haven’t taken a walk outside yet. Shall I take you out to a stroll?”

“Okay.” Ning Meng Yao nodded her head after thinking about it a little.

Although she used to live here before, she did not go near the center of the capital as her village was situated on the outskirts.

“Let’s go.” Reaching out his hand to help Ning Meng Yao up, the two of them left together.

The heart of the capital was as noisy as ever, and that was the first impression she had after going out.

Before, she was mostly by herself inside the capitol. Walking together with Qiao Tian Chang now had a different feel to it.

The two of them were at a small stall for half a day and they bought what they liked. If there was nothing that caught their eye, they would simply move on to the next shop.

They had no destination, only aimlessly wandering from one place to another.

Xiao Qi Tian, who was chatting with his friends at the restaurant, saw the two of them on the floor below and wanted to greet them. However, he quickly dismissed the thought. If he were to go down now, who knew what Qiao Tian Chang would do with him.

On the floor below, Ning Meng Yao took a mask of (ç?ªå?«æ??) Pigsy and compared it to Qiao Tian Chang’s face. She could not help but laugh.

Qiao Tian Chang was uncomfortable at first, but seeing Ning Meng Yao happy made his uneasiness vanish and he let her put whatever grotesque mask on his face.

While the two of them had a good time, Xiao Yi Lin, who left the Great General Residence in a hurry, could not calm himself down at that moment.

How could this be? How could that crescent birthmark appear on Ning Meng Yao?

Hurrying to his study room, Xiao Yi Lin shook his head, suppressing the conjecture that he had. He quickly called upon the captain of his secret soldiers: “Go and investigate everything about the wife of the Great General.”
