Chapter 250 Your Mother in Baishi County
His fingertips could feel the fine downy hairs on her cheeks, shimmering with a faint golden hue in the setting sun.
Tian Tian seemed startled by the sudden touch; her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not pull away.
Ling Yao was overjoyed, feeling his heart pounding so fast it was almost bursting out of his chest, and his ears ringing.
Ling Yao's Adam's apple bobbed, and he felt his mouth was dry.
My fingers unconsciously tightened slightly, wanting to feel her temperature more acutely.
Tian Tian's skin gradually flushed red under his touch, like clouds reflected in the sunset.
“Ling...Yao…” Tian Tian called him softly, her voice trembling slightly.
Ling Yao snapped out of his daze and quickly wiped the mud off her face.
He took a step back, creating distance between himself and Tian Tian.
The autumn wind brought a chill, but it couldn't extinguish the burning desire in his heart.
Ling Yao took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.
"Let's...let's go back," Tian Tian whispered.
"Mmm," Ling Yao responded softly.
The ambiguous atmosphere between the two reached its peak at this moment.
Back at the Tian residence, Empress Li immediately noticed the unusual interaction between the two.
Empress Li gave Ling Yao a thumbs up, "Well done!!"
Ling Yao awkwardly turned her face away...
Lu Tao noticed too, "Sweetie, why is your face so red? Is it too hot?"
"Then hurry up and go inside to wash your face before coming out to eat."
Tian Tian was too embarrassed to look at others, so she quickly nodded and walked towards the backyard.
"Well? Yao'er, you should thank your mother, right?" Empress Li winked at Ling Yao triumphantly.
"Quickly tell Mother, did things develop any new between you and Tiantian today?"
Ling Yao's face flushed red; he remembered that soft touch again...
"Mother, please, please don't ask." How can you tell others about such a thing?

It took another day for Tian Tian to pack one hundred of all the tea snacks from Baishi Teahouse, as well as one hundred portions of the hot pot base and various dishes from Baishi Teahouse.
All of these items were vacuum-packed and then placed in refrigerated wagons, so there was no need to worry about the food spoiling.
Lu Tao and the others had also packed their clothes and jewelry, and they even brought their best pieces.
By the third day, everyone was finally ready and could set off.
Li Huaiyuan came to see them off in person, and was stunned when he saw the impressive procession of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages.
"Miss Tian, are you... moving your whole family to the capital?"
This scene... it seems like they're not coming back.
Su Weiyue glanced at Li Huaiyuan and scolded him for not knowing how to speak.
"It would be better if Miss Tian Er stayed in the capital, since her aunt and Heming would take care of her."
Her words struck a chord with Empress Li.
"Wei Yue is right, absolutely right."
Empress Li glanced at Li Huaiyuan, "Anyway, you'll be returning to the capital soon. Wouldn't it be nice if we all met in the capital then?"
Li Huaiyuan understood the implication in Empress Li and Su Weiyue's words, "Yes, that's good."
"Then Huaiyuan wishes Auntie...that her wish may come true."
Empress Li then smiled, "That's more like it."

The autumn wind caressed my face, and the soft clatter of horses' hooves echoed along the official road.
Tian Tian sat inside the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at the mountains and rivers stretching out before her gaze inadvertently fell on Ling Yao, who was riding alongside her.
In just over half a year, Ling Yao seemed to have grown taller.
He was tall and handsome, and as he rode his horse, his brows revealed a calm and composed demeanor.
Occasionally, he would turn around and look at Tian Tian inside the carriage, his gaze gentle and profound, with a hint of a smile that was hard to detect.
