Stockpiling for an Exiled General Through My Store's Back Door

Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Want It All

It could only be said that Ling Yunge was of age to have children, while Ling Qianfan temporarily was not.

She had already grown into a young woman. If they were still in Capital City, according to tradition and custom, she would have already begun discussing marriage prospects. However, now that their family had been exiled to the distant Lingnan Region, there was no need to rush. She wasn’t anxious about it in the slightest; after all, she hadn’t even had her coming-of-age ceremony yet. Deep down, Ling Yunge desperately wanted to stay by her family’s side forever, even entertaining the thought of never marrying.

Upon hearing Ling Qianfan’s words, Xu Panqing initially couldn’t help but laugh out loud. But soon after, just like any mother, she began to fret over her son’s height. Her son was already sixteen years old, yet he hadn’t shown any significant growth spurt. Could his height really be permanently stunted?

That shouldn’t be the case. No one in their entire family was this short. Even the daughters and daughters-in-law were significantly taller than him. Logically speaking, with their family’s genetics, it was absolutely impossible for him to stop growing at this size. However, in Dongxuan Country, most young men at the age of sixteen would have already married and started a family. Yet her son... not only had he not physically matured, but he couldn’t yet be called a truly indomitable man!

Ling Qianjun glanced at Ling Qianfan’s height before shifting his gaze to Hua Buwan. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he spoke softly. ”Buwan, how about you disguise me as well?”

He couldn’t help but recall the intense stares he had drawn when they were out earlier. He thought that walking down the street with his current appearance was far too eye-catching. If he could use a disguise to transform into an entirely different person, it would be perfect.

The moment he finished speaking, Xu Panqing, Ling Qianfan, and Ling Yunge seemed to share a telepathic link as they shouted in unison, ”Me too! Me too! Me too!”

Their voices echoed through the room, nearly deafening enough to blow the roof off. Clearly, they were all brimming with anticipation and eager to try on new faces.

Hua Buwan couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with amusement as she gave them a slight nod. ”Sure. I just so happened to bring a full set of disguise tools with me today. I’ll make sure to give each of you a look you’re perfectly satisfied with.

”Let’s start with Qianjun, and then it’ll be Qianfan’s turn. Men’s makeup is relatively simpler, so I’ll work on you two first.”

”Okay!” the Ling family responded in unison. Every single one of them was incredibly obedient, offering absolutely no objections. They immediately shuffled to the side to wait quietly.

Meanwhile, Hua Buwan carefully laid out her dazzling array of cosmetic tools on the table. Once everything was ready, she raised a slender hand and pointed to a stool beside her, smiling as she gestured for Ling Qianjun to sit.

Ling Qianjun quickly complied, moving with swift, clean motions. He sat upright on the stool like an obedient subject entirely at her mercy, quietly waiting for Hua Buwan’s skillful hands to work their magic and give him a whole new face.
