Chapter 2024: Chapter 2024: Loyal Guard Dog (32
Lord Feng prepared generous gifts to meet Chuzheng, but naturally, he was also turned away at the door.Had he not known that everyone was treated this way, Lord Feng would have thought the Commandery Princess had a grievance against him.
But thinking about what his disastrous daughter had done, Lord Feng felt another bout of myocardial infarction.
-
"The Feng Family has committed countless evil deeds, yet that Lord Feng dared to come here." Ying Xiang had gathered quite a bit of information and was currently reporting everything to Chuzheng.
The bad deeds done by the Feng Family here would take three days and nights to recount.
Chuzheng listened with a desire to yawn, but she restrained herself and swallowed the yawn.
"Shi Yi!"
Chuzheng saw Shi Yi passing by outside, quickly called out, got up, and went out the door, leaving the chatterbox Ying Xiang behind.
Shi Yi wasn’t keen on encountering Chuzheng.
"Miss Yann..."
"Have you been comfortable these past few days? There’s so much going on, I haven’t had time to check my card."
Shi Yi: "Very comfortable. Thank you, Miss Yann, for your concern."
"It’s only proper." Chuzheng paused slightly: "My room is more comfortable. Do you want to consider changing rooms?"
Shi Yi: "..."
Shi Yi almost choked on his saliva.
What on earth was she saying?
"No need, Miss Yann... I’ve safely sent Miss Yann here, so I plan to return to the Imperial City, just in time to bid you farewell."
Shi Yi thought if he didn’t leave now, he might never be able to.
Chuzheng: "..."
Chuzheng didn’t utter a single word and turned to leave.
Shi Yi watched Chuzheng’s retreating figure, instinctively took two steps forward, his extended hand hovering in mid-air before slowly retracting it.
What was he supposed to say to call her back?
Shi Yi returned to his room to pack his things. Servants occasionally passed by outside the door; each time there was movement, he couldn’t help but look up.
What was he expecting to see anyway, Shi Yi couldn’t quite understand.
Knock knock...
"Young Master Shi Yi."
Ying Xiang stood outside the door, holding a tray.
"Please come in."
"The young lady asked me to bring this." Ying Xiang placed the meal from the tray onto the table: "Please enjoy."
"Did she..."
"Hmm?"
"Never mind, please thank Miss Yann for me."
Ying Xiang smiled briefly and left with the empty tray.
Shi Yi sat in front of the table, gazing at the steaming food, ultimately sighed and picked up chopsticks, eating slowly.
