CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 101: ARE YOU WAITING FOR ME?

No matter how detached like an immortal this person may be, once he reveals even a fraction of his aloof arrogance, it weighs heavily on one’s heart.

There is indeed some resemblance between him and Yu Wenye.

Just thinking about it caused Shang Ruyi to feel a suffocating tightness in her chest — why, why does she still think of him?

An entire afternoon, and still can’t dispel his shadow from her heart?

Yang Suyi had already coldly said, "It would be best if Young Madam refrains from saying such things in the future. I have my own way of doing things, and do not need others to intervene."

"..."

Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly in her heart.

These two people really are very similar, why didn’t she notice it before?

She said, "I spoke out of turn, please forgive me."

After speaking, she turned around and walked out of the pavilion.

Yang Suyi stood by the pavilion, watching her silhouette. Although his gaze was cold, it flickered with a hint of curiosity, and he smiled slightly, following behind.

Although they left not too late, since they were returning from the outskirts of the city, and the roads were slippery due to the rain, by the time they returned to the city, it was already dark.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alleyway. Just around a corner was the Yuwen Mansion.

Yang Suyi said, "I won’t escort Young Madam to the door, to avoid any unnecessary trouble."

Shang Ruyi was about to disembark but paused, then turned to look at him sitting in the carriage, and softly said, "Last time, Young Master Yang said that I made a decision for you — have you done what you needed to do?"

Yang Suyi smiled and said, "Yes."

"..."

"I am someone who, once I think of something, I must do it. Of course, I still have to thank the Madam for helping me make a decision."

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly, "What decision did I help you make after all?"

Yang Suyi didn’t answer her, but instead lifted the curtain to look outside and said, "It’s late."

"..."

It seems he has no intention of answering her.

Shang Ruyi could sense this person’s stubbornness, hidden beneath a nonchalant attitude and lazy demeanor, yet more unwavering than any form of persistence. But thinking about it, what he wants to do has nothing to do with her, so there really was no need to say more to him.

Thus she said, "I disturbed Young Master Yang today."

After speaking, she got off the carriage.

The sky was already dark, but fortunately, lanterns hanging at the entrance of the Duke Mansion on the other end of the alley illuminated the path from afar. Shang Ruyi had just taken a few steps when the carriage behind her drove away.

She looked back but said nothing, just quietly walked toward the Duke Mansion.

As soon as she stepped onto the stairs, she saw a familiar figure waiting at the gate, who immediately approached cheerfully upon seeing her, "Young Madam, you have finally returned!"

Upon a closer look, it was Wo Xue.

Shang Ruyi said, "You were waiting for me?"

Wo Xue replied joyfully, "Everyone at home is waiting for Young Madam."

"Hmm?"

"As soon as the Young Master returned, he sought out Young Madam, but heard that you went back to your family home, so he sent someone to fetch you, but Sister She’er said you weren’t there either. So, the Young Master had everyone at home searching for you everywhere. Luckily, you have returned."

"..."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi faintly smiled.

Yu Wenye truly was unafraid of trouble. Even after being caught in such a situation at Tinghe Building today, he could still return and play the role of the dutiful husband.

It must be taxing for him.

Shang Ruyi said, "Please let them know they don’t need to search anymore, I have returned."

"Yes."

Wo Xue turned to head inside, but suddenly stopped, bowing toward a figure hurrying over in the night, "Young Master."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi’s heart skipped a beat, and she saw someone approaching her in the darkness.
