Chapter 1088. Scheming (2)
When they were both sizing each other up, Doris silently walked up to the couple and examined them, but she did not stop walking and only slowed down.
Xi Xiaye quickly snapped back to her senses. When she turned to look at Mu Yuchen, she realized that there was a dim light in his eyes. He averted his gaze without batting an eyelid and looked at the gravestone.
Soon, Doris reached Wang Hui’s gravestone. As the cold wind reached them, Xi Xiaye seemed to be able to detect the faint fragrance of perfume in the air as Doris’s aura faintly came through.
When the older woman stopped, Mu Yuchen subconsciously moved Xi Xiaye to hold her on the other side of his body. There was a shifting light in his eyes as he silently watched this scene before him.
Doris did not immediately say anything. She just put the bouquet in her hand down on Wang Hui’s gravestone with a solemn and respectful expression, and she took off the white flower on her chest to put onto the gravestone too. The flames that were freshly lit instantly swallowed the bunch of white flowers.
She took three dignified bows before the gravestone, then straightened up to stare at Wang Hui’s photo for a long while before she turned to Mu Yuchen who had kept quiet throughout the whole process.
“The last time I met Elder Madam Mu, it was six years ago on the day before your wedding with Lingsha. Six years later, I thought that I could visit her this time, and we could all meet again. Unfortunately, humans are fortune’s fools. Now that we are separated into two worlds, I feel regretful and sad.”
Doris’s gentle and slightly gloomy voice came through, sounding very soothing. Especially with the faint sadness in between her brows, she looked melancholic and sincere.
Of course, these words were directed at Mu Yuchen because her eyes were only fixed on him as if she did not see Xi Xiaye beside him.
