Chapter 34 That glance was exceptionally deep.

"Yuwen Ye?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback and hurriedly got up to follow, but Yuwen Ye stopped at the door and said in a deep voice, "You'd better not say these things again."

"..."

"I don't want to hear that from you again, understand?"

Although he didn't turn around, a dangerous and oppressive aura emanated from his tall back, making it hard to breathe. Shang Ruyi could only respond softly, "Oh."

Yuwen Ye turned back and glanced at her again.

That look was exceptionally deep.

Shang Ruyi felt her bones ache from his gaze. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Yuwen Ye turn around and walk out without saying a word.

Shang Ruyi stood there, her heart pounding like thunder.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally regained her breathing and slowly walked down the street alone.

Upon descending to the first floor, she saw the carriage already parked outside. Mu Xian and Tu She'er were also waiting at the door. As she approached, Mu Xian hurriedly greeted her, saying, "Young Madam, the young master has asked me to escort you back to your residence. If you have nowhere else to go, please get in the carriage."

"And him?"

"Young Master has gone to the military camp."

"oh……"

Shang Ruyi didn't say much and got into the carriage.

With one less person in the carriage, it was much more spacious than when they arrived. However, for some reason, Shang Ruyi felt that the place was more cramped and oppressive, and her mood was heavier than when she arrived.

Did her words just now anger Yuwen Ye?

But--

She followed the carriage in a daze, swaying back and forth. When they returned to the Yuwen residence, she was still somewhat disoriented. Seeing that she looked unwell, Tu She'er helped her back to her room.

Helping her sit down, Tusheer poured her another cup of tea and placed it beside her, then asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

"..."

"Didn't you enjoy your meal just now?"

"..."

"Why did the son-in-law leave alone, and he seemed rather unhappy? Did you two have a quarrel?"

Shang Ruyi glanced at her and saw that her still somewhat childish face was full of worry. For some reason, she found it a little funny and laughed.

Tushe'er was even more puzzled: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Shang Ruyi waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, he had something to do and left first. I'm tired and want to rest for a while."

Tusheer could tell she was troubled, but since the host wouldn't say anything, she couldn't press her for details and could only leave the room.

Shang Ruyi was left alone in the room.

After an unknown amount of time, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the windowpanes, and a maid's voice rang out from outside: "Sister She'er, is the young mistress still resting?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"The meal has been set out in the dining hall. Please come and have your meal, young mistress."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi remembered that Yuwen Yuan had specifically instructed that the whole family should gather together for dinner today. So she quickly got up, straightened her clothes, and then went out the door.

When they arrived at the dining hall, they saw that bowls and plates had already been set on the round table, and servants were busy going back and forth. Yuwen Yuan sat in the main seat, smiling and talking to Guan Yunmu beside him, while a familiar figure sat on his other side.

It's Yuwen Ye!

Upon seeing him, Shang Ruyi immediately felt a little nervous.

The unpleasant parting between the two, especially his almost threatening words, still echoed in my ears.

Just then, Yuwen Ye looked up and met her somewhat flustered gaze.

The next moment, he stood up and walked to Shang Ruyi, looked down at her, and said in a very calm, even gentle, voice, "Why did it take you so long to get here? Are you too tired?"
