Chapter 52: The Wolf gets dragged along as the Fox plans a party

Chu Yun wasn't done after leaving Xiao Zai's sister with that coercive invitation. He walked out of the army garrison and instead of walking towards the their carriage pulled Xiao Zai along by their linked arms and onto the main street.

"Where are we going?" Xiao Zai asked, looking behind him at Chu Yun's servant who kept pace with them, her face revealing nothing.

"It's good for us to be seen out and about," Chu Yun said, holding on tighter to Xiao Zai's arm, as if he was afraid Xiao Zai was going to make a run for it.

Xiao Zai sighed and let himself be pulled along, as Chu Yun looked into storefronts and inspected the wares on street stalls. 

It became apparent right away that the two of them were attracting a lot of attention, Chu Yun in particular. Xiao Zai couldn't help noticing all the faces turning in his direction as they walked by, and the surreptitious glances from behind handkerchiefs and folding fans.
