Half a month later, Huang Yang Town.
Yun Ting was in a gloomy mood throughout the journey.
Fu Sisi seemed to have changed into a different person recently. If he did not take the initiative to speak to her, she would not take the initiative to speak to him.
When he spoke to her, she was always indifferent. Sometimes, she even ignored him.
He even suspected that Shi Yi had said something bad about him that night to make her avoid him like this.
“Why do you look so unhappy?”
Shi Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. “Miss Fu hasn’t pestered you for the past half a month. Shouldn’t you be happy?”
Seeing his gloating expression, Yun Ting felt that his guess was right. Shi Yi must have said something to Fu Sisi.
However, he did not dare to ask.
Indeed, as Shi Yi had said, he should be happy. However, he was still depressed.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Shi Yi shrugged. “Let me make this clear first. I didn’t say anything bad about you to Miss Fu. If you don’t believe me, ask her.”
“Lame.”
Yun Ting retracted his gaze silently.
However, his brows remained furrowed.
Shi Yi sighed secretly. This person did not cherish what he had when he had it. He only knew how to be nervous when he felt that he was going to lose it.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the magistrate court.
After Fu Sisi alighted from the carriage, she forced herself not to look in Yun Ting’s direction and waited for him to come forward instead.
The moment Yun Ting alighted from the carriage, he glanced at Fu Sisi.
He saw the girl lower her head, seemingly thinking about something.
Shi Yi looked at him, then at Fu Sisi. He could not help but sneer.
He pretended to mumble, “Ever since Miss Fu came back from the streets that day, she seems to have changed a lot. Brother Yun, do you think she has a change of heart?”
“Impossible!”
Yun Ting retorted subconsciously.
He did not believe that Fu Sisi would change her mind.
“What’s impossible?”
Shi Yi smiled faintly and said, “I’m afraid her heart has long turned cold from bumping into your walls. It’s normal for her to fall in love with someone else after meeting a man who’s more outstanding than you.”
He wanted Yun Ting to know that although Fu Sisi liked him, it wasn’t that she must have him.
How would Yun Ting know how to cherish her if he did not feel threatened?
Hence, he continued, “However, this is also quite good. Anyway, you don’t like Miss Fu. It would be best if she can find her own husband. Isn’t that right, Brother Yun?”
As if!
Yun Ting felt suffocated, but he did not show it on his face.
“Oh.”
After a while, he replied expressionlessly.
“Cousin, are you returning to the Chu Mansion?”
Fu Sisi saw Yun Ting walking over from the corner of her eye and hurried to find a topic to ask Chu Sihan.
Chu Sihan stood with his hands behind his back and nodded slightly. “Yes.”
No matter how bad the Chu Mansion was, it was still the place where he was raised. Since he was at the doorstep, he naturally had to return.
“Are Young Master Shi and the rest going with you?”
Fu Si thought for a while and continued asking.
“We’re not going!”
Shi Yi strode forward and smiled faintly. “We’re staying at the Thousand Leaf Inn.”
They did not like the oppressive atmosphere in the Chu Mansion. They might as well stay in an inn.
“Thousand Leaf Inn?”
Fu Sisi was curious. “Where’s the inn?”
“It’s not far from here.”
The sudden voice made the three of them look over in surprise.
Yun Ting coughed lightly. His expression was indifferent and he did not explain further.
Fu Sisi narrowed her eyes and tried her best to suppress her smile.
