Feng Ruqing turned her head and walked into the manor.
She did not notice that Liu Yuchen was still standing there, watching her affectionately.
Only when the sun had set, Liu Yuchen closed his eyes reluctantly and turned to walk toward a tavern located on another side of the street.
***
There was a manor located on the left side of the street. It was the manor that Liu Yuchen had bought for Tan Shuangshuang. Naturally, it did not belong to the chancellor’s family.
Little did Liu Yuchen know, it had now become the only place he could go.
Tan Shuangshuang was standing at the entrance, watching the street.
Not long after, Liu Yuchen in a rich intricate brocade came to sight with a strong smell of wine on his breath.
“Yuchen, you went for a drink? Do you really want to do that for the rest of your life? You have always been a filial son. You really do not want to return to the chancellor manor because of something so trivial?” Tan Shuangshuang merely frowned, hid her emotions, and slowly walked up to Liu Yuchen.
Liu Yuchen’s eyes narrowed and pushed Tan Shuangshuang away. He looked disdainfully at the lady before him with a sneer on his face.
“Tan Shuangshuang, I thought you couldn’t get along with my mother? Why do you want to bring my parents and me back together?”
“Nothing should come between you and your family. Moreover, no matter what Lady Liu has done to me, I have never hated her. Why are you saying that?” Tan Shuangshuang’s heart skipped a beat as she pursed her lips together.
“Haha!” Liu Yuchen let out a boisterous laugh. Tears ran free from his eyes, ran down his handsome face.
“Tan Shuangshuang, if you don’t hate her, why would you put a cursed doll under the bed?” Tan Shuangshuang looked up at Liu Yuchen, a flicker of fear crossed her pale face.
She had always hidden it very carefully, how did Liu Yuchen find out…
“Yuchen, I didn’t do that, I didn’t…” Stunned, Tan Shuangshuang reached out to hold Liu Yuchen’s hand.
“Tan Shuangshuang, since you have lost shelter at the Tan family, you want me to get back to the chancellor manor because you want to be my wife, don’t you? Well, forget about this. I will never return to the chancellor manor. It is such a humiliation to me. Also, I know that you hate me.” Liu Yuchen pushed Tan Shuangshuang to the ground forcefully as he smirked.
Tan Shuangshuang could feel the sting on her scraped hands and knees, but what hurt her the most was the pain in her heart.
It was true that she hated Liu Yuchen. She hated that Liu Yuchen had chosen Lady Liu and gave up on her in the spirit herbs store.
However, no matter how much she hated him, she still loved him. She showed great affection and devotion to Liu Yuchen all these years but in the end, she did not get anything.
“Yuchen, have you forgotten your promise? If not for Feng Ruqing, we won’t be in such a sorry state. It is all her fault!” Tan Shuangshuang got up from the ground as she smiled. Her eyes were full of resentment and bitterness.
Had it not been for Feng Ruqing, Tan Shuangshuang would have become Liu Yuchen’s wife. All the things happened after that would never have happened. It was all because of Feng Ruqing!
With a deep and brooding resentment in her heart, Tan Shuangshuang clenched her fists tightly. Her face was contorted with rage.
Liu Yuchen stared blankly at Tan Shuangshuang. It was the first time he saw her contorted face. Perhaps, this was the real Tan Shuangshuang. He was wrong. He had actually thought that Tan Shuangshuang was the woman he wanted to spend his whole life with.
