Yang Ruxin stepped out of the Moon Viewing Pavilion, and as the cold wind blew, goosebumps rose all over her body. She hurriedly wrapped her cloak around herself, glanced up at the deep blue night sky and the bright, clear moon, and felt a vague sense of unease.
"Madam, Miss Yu went that way." Hong Dou, standing at the door to attend, pointed out the direction for Yang Ruxin, "Do you want me to go and call Miss Yu back?"
Yang Ruxin glanced at Hong Dou. This girl was also from Li Mingyinâs side; she had met her twice before at the border, but since Doukou wasnât used much, her impression wasnât deep. Now, under the night, she saw that Hong Dou was a very pretty girl and then smiled, "No need, Iâll go myself." That direction was just the way back to the courtyard.
After Hong Dou bowed and entered the pavilion, her task was to attend to Li Mingyin.
Yang Ruxin walked slowly, unable to resist looking down at the hand she had just used to high-five Li Mingyin, and her unease only grew stronger.
At this moment, a figure flashed in front of her.
"Qingge?" Yang Ruxin looked ahead, catching only a glimpse of a peach-red dress, and hurriedly chased after it.
But after chasing around a corridor, the figure was gone.
Yang Ruxin furrowed her brow and discreetly released Xiaolun and Xiaoyin from the space, letting them entwine around her wrist.
"Madam?" A surprised voice rang out at this moment, "Is it really you?"
"Mr. Song? What are you doing here?" Yang Ruxin looked at the approaching figure and couldnât help but frown.
"I live right there." Song San pointed to the side, "I noticed the moonlight was nice, so I came out for a walk."
Only then did Yang Ruxin realize that this place was where one of the guesthouses was located.
"Why is Madam here alone at this hour?" Song Sanâs eyes shone brightly in the moonlight.
"Because the moonlight is nice." Yang Ruxin smiled, "But itâs time to sleep, goodnight."
"Madam, please stay." Song San stepped forward to block Yang Ruxinâs path.
Yang Ruxin looked up, smelling a faint scent of alcohol from the other party, indicating that he had been drinking.
"The moonlight is nice, could you honor me with a couple of drinks?" Song San was about half a head taller than Yang Ruxin, and he looked down at her somewhat.
"My husband doesnât let me drink." Yang Ruxin smiled, "So, if you want to drink, please find someone else."
"Haha." Song San laughed, "Madam is so wary of me, huh." He sighed, "Actually, I donât know what made Madam misunderstand or misinterpret."
Yang Ruxin said nothing, feeling a bit worried about Yu Qingge, but it seemed she couldnât leave anytime soon, so she had to send Xiaoyin to find his son.
"You are the one who saved my life." Song Sanâs eyes grew even brighter, "And it happened twice."
"So what?" Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly, "I donât seek repayment, Iâm merely doing good deeds. As for misunderstandings, are they truly misunderstandings?"
"Haha, perhaps not, because you hold a special place in my heart."
"I understand. If I ever need your help in the future, I wonât hesitate to ask." Yang Ruxin smiled, "Itâs late now, early to bed and early to rise makes one healthy."
"But Xinxin." Song San stepped forward once more to stop her, "Even though I know it isnât right, I canât control my heart... Iâve realized Iâve fallen in love with you..."
