Chapter 690: A bet

Lin Rui laughed as he bowed down and hugged Su Wan in his arms before pulling her onto his lap. " I see, my Wan Wan is really upset with me, aren't you? Sorry for making you worry but headmaster Yuan decided to make a stop at the capital before coming back and I as his disciple had no choice but to follow him." 

" To the capital? You went to the capital?" Su Wan's attention was immediately diverted as she turned to look at Lin Rui with a twist of her waist. " You mean to say that you and the headmaster went to the capital while returning from the prefectural city?" 

" That right," Lin Rui took a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped Su Wan's face which was covered with sweat after taking care of the Su family. " I went to the prefectural city for the lecture as promised but then headmaster Yuan was suddenly called to the capital by the Emperor, he wanted me to meet with the Emperor so he brought me along with him."
