Chapter 215 - 214: Rejection
Chu Hanyan, who had been burying her head in Chu Lingxuan’s shoulder, suddenly raised her head and began to cry. Every time she went home, she would close her eyes and bury her head like she was playing hide and seek. When her father finally stopped, she would open her eyes. Or under the guidance of Mrs. Song, she would close her eyes here, and when she turned her back, she would open her eyes. She would gaze at the sight of the two people who delighted her, with the smaller figure waving at her.
However, today, she saw nothing. She sobbed, "Auntie, why aren’t Dabao and the others watching us anymore?"
Chu Lingxuan felt both embarrassed and annoyed. When he did not mention his intentions, she acted as usual. But now that his hints were clear today, her actions indicated that she must be unwilling. Thinking that this was the first time he fell for a woman and did everything to please her, he had even discussed it with the elders when he thought it was a sure thing, only to be turned down by her.
He "hmphed" and turned to walk towards Tang Garden.
Wei and Mrs. Song, who were a little ahead of them, saw that their master didn’t stay under the tree like before, but strode back. The young mistress cried, and he didn’t comfort her with his usual good temper, leaving them confused. They looked back towards Fu Garden and saw the empty entrance. This made them somewhat suspicious.
Dabao, who had been dragged back by Chen Afu, also wiped away his tears, crying, "Little sister Yan’er likes to see me waving to her, but she didn’t see me today, she will definitely cry."
Chen Afu said, "Alright, next time I will have someone accompany you to wave to Yan’er." She added, "Son, hurry up and do your homework. If you don’t finish it, your teacher will be disappointed."
Dabao, afraid of disappointing his teacher, wiped away his tears and went to the study room.
