Chapter 1034: Unhappy and Ill at Ease
"No one is investigating anymore," Ruyi said. "They never caught anyone, and the people in Shangjing City have been complaining bitterly, so the Local Government backed off the massive searches. It's been quiet for half a month now."
She glanced over at Dong Chiyu.
Dong Chiyu caught on quickly this time. "I can vouch for that," she spoke up.
Chen Changsheng swallowed his food and sighed. "When Sanniang saw you ride away, she couldn't eat for days."
At those words, Ruyi lost her clever, silver-tongued manner and silently lowered her head.
"It's not that I must lecture you on how to conduct yourself," Chen Changsheng said. "Naturally, I want you to be happy and carefree. But it is precisely because of that that I worry you'll end up unhappy and ill at ease in the future..."
Ruyi poked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks. "I know," she mumbled. "I know..."
She blinked; no one could see that her eyes had already gone red.
"Once you're full, you need to head home early, understand?" Chen Changsheng said.
