Chapter 282 - 142: Shi Yumei Goes Shopping
Status, status, it’s always about status! But she’ll be damned if she lets her life be confined by such mundanity. It’s merely a stepping stone for her! Gu Fangzi cannot imagine living her entire life cowering under the shadow of the legal wife, like Aunt Shui and Aunt Fang did. Her life was not meant to be like this.
Sang Wan, don’t be too smug too soon! Our scores have yet to be settled!
"Miss, we should head back... It’s getting dark," Lan Xiang, noticing the curious glances from passersby, couldn’t help but gently tug at Gu Fangzi and whispered her advice.
Ready to bear the brunt of her master’s anger, Lan Xiang was taken aback when Gu Fangzi simply turned, gave her a slight smile, and nodded, "Okay, let’s go back."
Lan Xiang let out a huge sigh of relief, quickly assuring her, "Miss, young master still cares for you in his heart! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten so angry."
"Oh? Is that what you think?" Gu Fangzi raised an eyebrow, slightly taken aback.
"Yes," Lan Xiang’s spirits lifted, and she hurriedly continued, "Think about it, miss. The reason young master got so angry is that you wanted Mrs. Wang to speak on your behalf! Young master must feel distanced because you didn’t approach him directly, and that’s why he’s angry! Miss, in the future, it might be better to speak with young master directly. I believe he will definitely be happy."
Her words struck a chord with Gu Fangzi. Her eyes brightened, and she felt somewhat relieved, "You’re not wrong, it seems it really is like that! This time, I indeed didn’t think it through, and it backfired on me!"
"Miss, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don’t be disheartened!"
"Hmm, we’ll talk about it after a while!" Gu Fangzi sank into despondency again, the duck that was almost in her grasp had flown away! She had no idea when the next suitable opportunity would come.
Shi Fengju intended to head back to the study but found himself unconsciously standing at the entrance of Ningyuan. Just as he was about to step in, a sudden jolt of awareness stopped him, and he withdrew his foot, standing at the gate, hesitating.
To enter or not to enter was a particularly difficult decision for him.
