Chapter 933: Such a Bitter Fate
For some reason, words that should have been steeped in sorrow lost their heavy weight beneath Miss Yun's sudden smile.
In the days that followed, Chen Changsheng went nowhere.
To him, this rare passage of time seemed to lose its importance. He no longer busied himself with constant travel, choosing instead to stay right here—within the ever-shifting Tang Manor, inside the pavilion beside the backyard's ancestral hall.
The candied fruit was delicious and fragrant.
He had suddenly taken a liking to it.
Yunxiang sat in the pavilion of the Tang Manor's backyard. Pointing at the pond, she said, "I had someone plant lotuses. Perhaps by next year, we'll see the leaves sprout and the flowers bloom. When you return next time, Mister can admire them."
Chen Changsheng said, "This Chen has never done anything for you. Why go to such lengths?"
Yunxiang replied, "That isn't important."
She didn't explain further, merely turning her head to look at the pond. She imagined the sight of lotuses in full bloom covering the water; it would surely be a beautiful scene.
