Since there was no one else in their vicinity, Ruan Xi stopped deliberately weakening her temperament.Her gaze wandered in a vivacious and nimble manner.
The manifestation of a person’s temperament, grace, and charm was not limited to their conduct and bearing, for it also included their gaze.
The idiom ‘bringing a painted dragon to life by dotting in the pupils of its eyes’ explicated the importance of the gaze perfectly. The previous Ruan Xi was good-looking with her smooth and fair skin which likened her to a person carved out of exquisite jade, but her eyes were devoid of romantic charm and her temperament was ordinary at best.
However, now that she had dropped her façade, the exquisitely carved jade of a person came alive; her splendour radiated all around and she was an unparalleled beauty.
Natural and at ease, she steeped some tea for Wen gongzi and offered it to him with both hands.
“Wen gongzi, please use the tea.”
Accepting the teacup, Wen gongzi took a sip as he chuckled softly, “Not pretending anymore?”
Ruan Xi immediately understood the meaning in his words and she said smilingly, “My pretence or lack thereof cannot conceal past Wen gongzi, no treatment is as good as frankness and sincerity.”
Sure enough, it had not been her misconception, Wen gongzi had genuinely seen through her disguise.
But she did not search for Wen gongzi in the original owner’s memories.
Undoubtedly, the original owner had no cognition of Wen gongzi.
But Wen gongzi did not seem unfamiliar with her, which gave rise to a trace of suspicion in Ruan Xi’s heart.
Wen gongzi was wearing a cultured smile as he spoke mildly with his clear and bright voice, “Si niang is intelligent.”
He was admitting to the fact that he had seen through Ruan Xi’s façade in an indirect manner.
This form of address…
Ruan Xi looked towards Wen gongzi in surprise, revealing the sense of oddness she felt on her face.
In warm tones, Wen gongzi explained: “You are my fiancée; calling you Ruan si xiaojie is too polite and estranging, calling you by your maiden name seems overly intimate, so I compromised by calling you si niang.”
Ruan Xi expressed that she understood.
Observing that she had accepted this form of address very calmly, Wen gongzi’s smile reached the bottom of his eyes. Then, he asked with palpable concern:
“Si niang, is your body feeling better?”
In response, Ruan Xi reiterated the old physician’s diagnosis.
“I have recovered by seven to eight parts. Mother invited a physician to take my pulse this afternoon, and he said that my vitality was harmed so it requires careful nursing.”
Ruan Xuan felt that her quick recovery after her transmigration was probably related to her golden finger in some way.
However, Ruan Xi did not believe the old physician’s words fully because she felt like she was in decent health, and she was not experiencing any symptoms of weakness that was characteristic of an injured vitality.

Her vitality was harmed?
Wen gongzi wrinkled his eyebrows together because he had already harboured some doubts regarding the cold that bore down menacingly on his fiancée for some time.
