Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Found a New Love

Yan Qianyi nodded, “I’m afraid he’ll be upset if he sees me.”

Yesterday when he left, his eyes were very cold, his disappointment in her evident to the extreme.

She didn’t want to add to the burdens in his heart.

Nangong Xiaoxue sighed heavily, “Don’t worry, he won’t be coming back today.”

“I’m off to treat the Duke.”

“Okay.”

Nangong Xiaoxue didn’t say anything more.

Suddenly, she felt that perhaps they shouldn’t push the two kids too hard.

The way Ah Lie was yesterday truly scared her.

Let them both cool down first, let the anger subside, then when each of them figures things out, maybe they will be okay on their own.

Because Qianyi was in Ah Lie’s heart, and she could see that Ah Lie was also in Qianyi’s heart.

If the two truly liked each other, how could they easily let go?

The next day when Yan Qianyi came over again, she still didn’t encounter Mu Yunlie.

As she was leaving, she said to Nangong Xiaoxue, “The Duke’s condition has stabilized, I have some things to take care of tomorrow night and won’t come over, I’ll come back the night after.”

Tomorrow night she had to give Mu Yunlie acupuncture, another difficult night ahead.

Mu Yunlie had told her that his grandmother didn’t know about his poisoning, so she couldn’t speak of it directly.

“Alright, you’ve been working hard these past few days, make sure you get some rest.”

Nangong Xiaoxue walked Yan Qianyi out, with words on the tip of her tongue she kept swallowing back.

The words of reconciliation she wanted to say, in the end, were still swallowed back.

On the evening she was supposed to give Mu Yunlie acupuncture, Yan Qianyi waited until nine o’clock.

After some thought, she still sent a message to Mu Yunlie.

“Are you coming over tonight?”

Afraid he would misunderstand, she immediately sent another message: “It’s time for your acupuncture tonight.”

After sending the message, she sat quietly for more than ten minutes, yet her heart never experienced a moment of peace.

Twenty minutes passed, and Mu Yunlie still hadn’t replied.

She got up, preparing to take a shower, when her bracelet buzzed.

She quickly checked the message on the Light Screen.

“Doctor Yan, it has been tough on you treating my grandfather lately, and since the medication can also detoxify, from now on, I’ll just take the medication and not trouble you to find time for acupuncture.”

The polite and distant tone carried a hint of coldness.

Reading this message, Yan Qianyi’s mind conjured the image of his cold expression and indifferent eyes.

It seemed he had truly given up and thus no longer wished to see her.

“Then please cherish my hard work and take your medication punctually.”

After sending the message, Yan Qianyi took a deep breath.

As long as he was willing to take the medication properly, it was all for the best…

Not seeing him would at least spare her heart some torment.

Even though she comforted herself with such thoughts, when the shower water poured over her head, Yan Qianyi still cried.

The tears mixed with the warm water, drenching her face.

At that moment, Mu Yunlie was staring at the Light Screen at a group photo of Yan Qianyi and Xia Ziyu.

In the photo, she was all smiles, looking so radiant and jubilant.

He suddenly realized that without him, she could live so happily and freely.

If that was the case, he would grant her this happiness and not disturb her anymore.

Ah Chang suddenly spoke up, “Master, should I delete this post? The comments below are talking nonsense.”

“What are they saying?” Mu Yunlie asked.

He had only looked at the photo, not scrolled through the comments.

Ah Chang’s voice was indignant, “Some people are saying that Madam and you split up because you have a new love.”

“A new love?” Mu Yunlie raised his eyebrows, “Who?”

“It’s Prince Ziyu.”

Mu Yunlie fell silent, his lips curling slightly in a smile that was not quite a smile.

Even an artificial intelligence like Ah Chang seemed to feel the chill emanating from him.

“Master, they’re just spouting nonsense, Madam is not like that…”

Mu Yunlie interrupted in a deep voice, “Don’t call her Madam anymore!”

“Oh… Should I delete the post then?”

“No need.” Mu Yunlie turned off the Light Screen, his indifferent eyes as if frosted over, “From now on, her affairs are none of my concern.”

If they were unrelated, then it mattered not.

At noon, Chu Hua extraordinarily decided to go fetch lunch with Xiaoguang and the others.

Yan Qianyi sat at their spot waiting alone.

She glanced up to see Chu Hua arguing about something with Xiaoguang.

When they realized she was looking their way, Chu Hua and Xiaoguang immediately pretended as if nothing was happening.

Yan Qianyi faintly curved her lips, instantly understanding why Chu Hua was so unusually diligent today.

She was hiding something from her.

Once they all returned and sat down, Yan Qianyi spoke, “Alright, what were you all talking about behind my back?”

“Nothing at all,” Chu Hua quickly shook her head, shooting Xiaoguang a meaningful glare.

Xiaoguang, on the verge of saying something, reluctantly bowed his head and started eating sullenly.

Yun Mu and Prince Ziyu stayed quiet as well.

“I saw it just now. Whoever speaks first will be rewarded with a bottle of body-strengthening medicine.”

Before Yan Qianyi finished her sentence, Chu Hua hastily said, “It’s all Xiaoguang’s big mouth’s fault; he must have spoken about you and Teacher Mu breaking up!”

“Damn it! I did not!” Xiaoguang hurriedly explained, almost spitting out his mouthful of rice.

He quickly covered his mouth, forcing the rice down, his eyes rolling back as he choked.

Chu Hua said, “Only the four of us know about Qianyi and Teacher Mu, and out of us, you have the biggest mouth!”

Xiaoguang stretched his neck, finally catching his breath, and quickly said, “I told you, it wasn’t me! Even if I have a big mouth, would I talk about my sister’s personal affairs?”

“If it wasn’t you, then who could it be? It couldn’t possibly be Qianyi herself, could it?”

“Whoever benefits the most is the one who spread it,” Xiaoguang turned to look at Prince Ziyu.

Prince Ziyu was dining elegantly.

Faced with the looks from Xiaoguang and Chu Hua, he shrugged helplessly, “What does this have to do with me?”

Xiaoguang said, “You benefit the most, okay? Now everyone knows that my sister and Teacher Mu broke up, and they’re all saying you’re my sister’s new love, and you seem quite pleased with this rumor.”

Prince Ziyu laughed a little, “Can’t help it, being too handsome invites trouble, but I really didn’t say it.”

Yan Qianyi felt a bit bewildered, “What you all are talking about, how come I don’t know anything about it?”

Yun Mu said, “In the school’s forum, under the post that has a group photo of us, someone spread the rumor that you and Teacher Mu had broken up. The students are speculating that it’s because you’ve fallen for Prince Ziyu.”

Yan Qianyi shook her head speechlessly, “So Xiaoguang and Chu Hua were arguing about this?”

“Sis, I really didn’t spread it! Chu Hua is framing me!”

“Could it have been Wang Shanshan?” Chu Hua asked, “Lately, you three have to stay behind every evening for special training, could it be that while you two were chatting, she overheard?”

Xiaoguang scratched his head, trying to recall, “But during special training, Yun Mu and I never talked about my sister and Teacher Mu either.”
