“I…”
I didn’t expect him to use my own words against me. I was speechless for a moment before finding my voice: “Then why are you so insistent on seeing me off?”
“Because…”
Now it was his turn to be unable to speak.
I became righteous, looking at him triumphantly: “See? Can’t find a reason, right? Since there’s no reason to see me off, I’m leaving!”
I didn’t wait for his reaction, pulling Shui’er out. At the corner, I vaguely heard Wei Feng’s hesitant voice: “Big brother, you couldn’t have fallen for that girl, right?”
The response was endless silence…
I’ll translate the text into English:
I was stunned for a moment, and then said: “I’ve interacted with him several times, so naturally I know more about him than you do. It’s precisely because I’ve seen his terrible side that I know the rumors are false!”
“Is it really like that?” the little girl muttered with a hint of doubt.
I impatiently waved my hand and said: “Whatever, it has nothing to do with us anyway!”
“Oh!” Shui nodded hesitantly. Seeing me heading in the opposite direction, she couldn’t help but call out: “Madam, you’re going the wrong way! That’s the direction to the Prince’s Mansion. If you want to continue shopping, you should go this way!”
I looked around and suddenly realized I had no interest at all. I simply shook my head and said: “Forget it, I’m not in the mood. Let’s go back!”
Shui immediately became nervous, carefully asking: “Madam, are you okay? Did I say something wrong and make you angry?”
I shook my head and said: “I’m fine, don’t overthink it. I just feel a bit tired and want to go back and rest.”
Shui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Why don’t I take you back to the mansion through a shortcut?”
“Mm!”
I nodded slightly, indicating for the girl to lead the way…
The so-called shortcut was a path that bypassed the Drunk Immortal Tavern, with a small alley behind it. The girl said it led directly to the back gate of the Prince’s Mansion. I hadn’t walked through such a small alley for a long time; it felt particularly quiet.
