In the past three years, Zhai Yunsheng had cut off all contact with Jian Yiling. He hadn’t gathered any information about her.
It wasn’t because he didn’t want to. Rather, it was because he couldn’t.
“No.”
She brought him the medicine because it was convenient for her to do so. Usually, the medicine was delivered by someone else.
She hadn’t come to the capital because of Qin Chuan.
Jian Yiling was not lying. Her eyes were as clean as ever.
After a while, Zhai Yunsheng’s expression was no longer as angry. However, his voice was still deep and low as he said:
“You broke your promise.”
“Mhmm.”
“You will need to pay the price for breaking your promise.”
“I know,” Jian Yiling replied. She was willing to accept the price of her broken promise.
“The price will be great,” Zhai Yunsheng said. His gaze burned.
“Okay.”
She had been the one who had broken her promise. It made sense that she had to pay the price for her actions.
After hearing Jian Yiling’s reply, Zhai Yunsheng’s eyes appeared to be deep in thought.
She did not know what the price he wanted was.
Yu Xi watched the conversation between Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng. He hadn’t understood their conversation at all.
Broken promise? Pay the price? Was there an agreement between the two of them?
What had happened between God Ling and Master Sheng? Why didn’t he know about this?
Yu Xi was incredibly curious.
However, Yu Xi held himself back from asking. He was afraid that things would be awkward if he asked about certain things.
And thus, the three of them stayed quietly at the Qin family banquet for a while.
Jian Yiling continued to eat whilst Yu Xi and Zhai Yunsheng accompanied her.
Everyone else in the banquet looked in their direction in wonder. Zhai Yunsheng’s actions tonight had been quite different from the usual.
However, someone revealed that Yu Xi was Master Sheng’s best friend. They had known each other for many years and were very close.
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to be able to understand the situation a little better.
However, everyone was still curious about the young girl that sat beside them.
She was a girl who had received special treatment from both Young Master Qin and Master Sheng.
As the banquet was coming to an end, Yu Xi suddenly received an urgent phone call. He needed to go back to deal with a situation in his company.
“Ahhh, what do I do?! I can’t leave right now. I need to send a friend back to her place.”
Yu Xi was quite conflicted. The situation at his company was quite urgent. However, he couldn’t just leave Jian Yiling here either.
“Give me the address, I’ll send her there,” Zhai Yunsheng spoke up.
“Really? Then…”
Yu Xi hesitated for a moment. He could not understand the relationship between Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.
However, after a moment of consideration, he decided to entrust Jian Yiling to Zhai Yunsheng:
“Okay! I’ll leave God Ling with you!”
Yu Xi wanted to ease the relationship between Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng. Although [Domination] no longer existed, he was hopeful that their relationship would still be as good as it was back then.
Not long after Yu Xi left, Zhai Yunsheng saw that Jian Yiling had finished eating:
“Rest early today. You took a ten-hour flight. Don’t be a rabbit.”
“Mhmm.”
Then, Zhai Yunsheng left the venue with Jian Yiling.
Most people did not leave the Qin family banquet early unless they had something important to do.
However, Zhai Yunsheng did not care about this. He left whenever he wanted to.
And thus, the people at the venue noticed Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling’s departure.
They couldn’t help but express in surprise:
“What happened to Master Sheng today? Not only did he unprecedentedly sit with a girl, but now, he is also leaving the venue with her…”
“Could it be… Could it be that Master Sheng has taken a fancy to her? She’s so fortunate.”
“Nah, you guys are thinking about it too much. They’re probably just friends.”
