“Alas! I’m anxious for you! Think about it, you’ve spent so much effort following him, even studying hard and skipping grades just to be his classmate. You are the only woman who can stand on equal footing with him and travel together. Moreover, even old Mr. Ying Pu, that stubborn old man, has already determined you could be the daughter-in-law of the Ying family. Now, you’re going to be ruined by a fox spirit from Taiwan? How can this be!”
Aunt Qiu Da looked worried. She looked at her slender, graceful niece whose face was turning pale, then glanced at the guest room in the hallway, and immediately a strategy came to her.
“So! I say… the appearance of this Ms. Bai right now is a good opportunity for you to take advantage of.”
“Ms. Bai?”
Li Yazhi was now completely panicked, her usually calm and clear mind almost unable to think, “How… how so?”
“That’s right…” Aunt Qiu Da leaned close to Li Yazhi’s ear, “You should do this…”
Her self-assured scheming whispers faintly echoed in a corner of this five-star luxury hotel, as evening fell.
This was the third day since Shang Keqin met Pu Cangxie.
When Pu Cangxie sent Shang Keqin back to the hotel, it was already 10:30 at night, because Shang Keqin insisted on staying to help him clean the shop before returning to the hotel.
About this, Pu Cangxie was of course happy, but he did not smile, always looking thoughtful.
When he was about to say goodbye to her in the large garden, Shang Keqin finally couldn’t hold back, “What’s wrong?”
“Hm? What’s wrong?”
“You seem troubled, what are you thinking about?”
She had her own worries, but she optimistically believed that regarding her identity, she could just wait until their feelings were more certain before revealing it candidly.
Not knowing much about romantic relationships, she could only act on instinct. Conversely, her instinct also told her that he… seemed somewhat troubled by their current situation.
“Nothing!”
Things between them had happened so suddenly that no matter how good their feelings were, his rigorous nature would not allow him to hastily confirm things. He needed to think of a good way to subtly let the straightforward Shang Keqin understand why he deliberately made himself look ugly.
“Really?”
