The closer she got to the Prince's Estate, the more nervous Aran became. *Amitabha, Buddha be praised, I hope I make it back to the estate before Ayuan.* She prayed the entire way.
But, as luck would have it, her fears were realized. Just as Aran arrived at the gate of the Prince's Estate on horseback, Chu Hengyuan’s carriage pulled up from the opposite direction. The coachman pulled to a stop and called out in a friendly manner, "Good day, Miss Ran."
Upon hearing the name "Aran," Chu Hengyuan could no longer sit still inside the carriage. He immediately threw back the curtain. Aran, who was halfway off her horse with her foot on the stirrup, caught sight of Chu Hengyuan’s ink-black expression. She had no choice but to lean against her horse and wave a hand in greeting. "What a coincidence."
