Chapter 150 - 75: The Strategy of Advancing by Retreating No Longer Works_2
But his heart was still extremely uncomfortable! So as soon as he left his mother, he went to the peony garden, eager to see what else his cousin had up her sleeve to surprise him with. Unexpectedly, he learned that she had gone to Ningyuan.
By the time he arrived at Ningyuan, it happened to be when she was cursing Miss Wan by name. In that instant, the last bit of her image in his heart collapsed and shattered, completely!
Shi Fengju simply couldn’t believe that, out of their sight, Gu Fangzi could be so arrogant and overbearing. Remembering how cautious and trembling Sang Wan was when she first entered the house, Shi Fengju finally understood a bit.
When Shi Fengju stepped into the peony garden, Gu Fangzi was weeping in the house, with Lan Xiang quietly consoling her at the side.
"Young master, you’ve come!" Lan Xiang looked up and saw Shi Fengju, calling out in surprise and joy. She quickly said to Gu Fangzi, "Miss! The young master is here! The young master has come to see you!"
Gu Fangzi’s anxious heart relaxed, and immediately she became more demanding. She turned her back to Shi Fengju, snorted coldly, and sobbed, "What are you doing here again? What are you doing in my peony garden without accompanying your Miss Wan!"
In the past, whenever she cried and acted coy, Shi Fengju would have no choice but to continuously apologize and admit his faults until he coaxed her into laughter. But now, observing coldly, Shi Fengju felt no ripple in his heart, and upon seeing her pretending, he felt only disgust and immediate aversion.
