Chapter 52: "I love you very much."
Xiao Xu looked up, and for a moment thought he had misheard.
Yun Sheng's voice was very soft, and it was almost drowned out by the laughter of a group of people who suddenly walked past the door.
As the footsteps echoed up the wooden stairs, the group of passersby gradually disappeared into the distance.
Yun Sheng frowned and lowered her eyes.
That's terrible.
She recalled when Xiao Xu confessed his feelings to her in the noisy and chaotic street. She couldn't hear him clearly and thought it was just her imagination.
But at least then, the atmosphere was jubilant, with lanterns and decorations adorning the streets in celebration. The evening breeze carried his affection through the crowd, and the turning lanterns illuminated the deep feelings in his eyes.
But what about now?
Out of the corner of her eye, Yun Sheng could see a large crack in the corner of the wall. The gray plaster was curled up and drooping, with mold stains that had seeped in over the years along the edges.
Saying such things in a place.
That's absolutely terrible.
Yun Sheng didn't hear Xiao Xu's reply, and she didn't really want to hear it either. She glanced around at the floor and turned to go back to the bed.
Xiao Xu snapped out of his daze, his heart pounding, and hurried toward her.
Just as Yun Sheng was about to sit down, Xiao Xu scooped her up with one hand: "Sheng Sheng, what did you just say?"
Yun Sheng was pulled so hard that her body swayed. Before she could regain her balance, he wrapped his arm around her waist and forced her to press against his chest.
The chaotic, rapid beating of Xiao Xu's heart pounded in her ears, instantly disrupting her thoughts.
She could only stammer, "You...you didn't hear me?"
“…Never mind if I didn’t hear you.” She quickly regained her composure and reached for the arms tightly wrapped around her waist. “Let’s go to sleep.”
Xiao Xu couldn't sleep. He wanted to tighten his arms to stop her from leaving, but when he looked down and saw her frowning, he helplessly let go.
Yun Sheng pried his arms off and turned to get into bed.
Xiao Xu pulled her back again: "I heard you."
Yun Sheng muttered, "You heard it, why are you asking?"
Xiao Xu remained silent for a long time, but this time he held her wrist tightly and wouldn't let go.
He was crouching by the bedside; one more step forward and he could have pinned Yun Sheng down.
But he gradually bent his knees, and finally squatted down by the bed: "You just... said you liked me."
The words, which should have been a statement, were spoken with a hint of uncertainty in their tone.
Yun Sheng looked at him straight in the eye and saw his slightly furrowed brows. After thinking for a moment, she reached out and grabbed his hand, pulling him up to sit on the bed.
The two sat facing each other. Before Yun Sheng could speak, he repeated himself, his tone more certain than before, but his voice was still dry: "You like me."
Yun Sheng corrected him in a low voice: "A little."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xu leaned closer to her and kissed her soft lips. The kiss was brief, but a burning fire ignited in his heart.
Yun Sheng pursed her lips after his gentle and restrained kiss.
Her process of figuring out whether she liked Xiao Xu was not smooth; in fact, it was very difficult.
Unlike when she initially thought she liked Xiao Ling, without any other emotions or unexpected developments affecting her, she could easily imagine him as the husband she would spend the rest of her life with, and she could easily imagine that she was willing and she liked him.
But she thought a lot about Xiao Xu.
At first, she thought he was the elder brother of her original fiancé. Later, she thought about this impulsive and illogical marriage, their ambiguous beginning, and the many missed opportunities they had shared in the past.
The complexities of her feelings for Xiao Xu left her unsure how to define them.
He was someone who suddenly entered her life, and someone special to her.
She should have thought that it didn't matter if she was wrong, just like how she mistook her beautiful imagination of Xiao Ling for love. If she was wrong, she was wrong.
But later, when she realized she didn't want to give him such ambiguous feelings, she realized that this seemed to be true love.
I couldn't bear to disappoint him, nor did I want my overwhelming feelings to be met with the wrong response.
However, her affection for him was far less intense than Xiao Xu's. He had said before that a little wasn't enough; he wanted more than just a little.
But she did say it, and now that's certain.
Xiao Xu remained silent.
Yun Sheng sensed that he might be a little happy, or a little disappointed, so she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, then said gently, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Xu suddenly sat up and pressed down on her, reaching out to catch her chin and kissing her urgently and heavily.
The kiss went deep inside from the very beginning, the movements were forceful and domineering, leaving her no room to resist.
Xiao Xu's strong arms were tightly wrapped around her waist, his whole body pressed down on her, and his knees pressed against her legs.
Yun Sheng felt as if she was about to be eaten. Her lips were being licked and bitten repeatedly, and her tongue was being swallowed until it went numb. Even the saliva in her mouth was licked away.
With nowhere to retreat, she unconsciously bit him, which not only failed to make him back down, but seemed to ignite that raging fire even more.
Yun Sheng's eyes welled up with tears, and her clothes were torn during the passionate kiss, revealing a dazzling expanse of snow-white skin, which was even more alluring in the candlelight.
She had to raise her hand to push him away, but when she couldn't push his chest away, she tried pushing his shoulder instead.
But she was already weak from Xiao Xu's kisses and couldn't muster any strength at all.
Until she groped and placed her palm on Xiao Xu's face.
My finger touched a drop of water that had fallen from who-knows-where.
Yun Sheng's fingers trembled slightly, and the glistening drops on her fingertips slid down her knuckles, eventually disappearing between their intertwined lips and teeth.
Xiao Xu's grip on her remained firm, but his touch on her lips softened.
He pressed his lips against hers, his voice low and hoarse as he said, "Say it again."
During this brief respite, Yun Sheng finally regained some breathing.
He kissed her too fiercely just now, and several times she felt like she was about to faint from lack of breath.
But after catching his breath and still feeling dizzy, he urged her again, biting her lips and licking them in a pleading manner: "Sheng Sheng, say it again."
"Just a little bit, didn't you say you didn't want any?"
"I didn't say that." Xiao Xu pried open her lips and kissed her again, only pulling away when he felt her burning heat, and gently asked her, "Can you tell me again?"
Their foreheads touched, their breaths mingled, and their breaths filled with the warm heat that disturbed their clear minds.
Just like every time I was infatuated before, it made me unable to think, and my mind went blank.
But at this moment, a clear thought echoed in my heart.
"I like you," Yun Sheng whispered, very close to him.
I like you a little.
Xiao Xu, his breath trembling slightly, hugged her tightly: "I love you very much."
His lips pressed against mine again, the kiss becoming gentle and lingering, extending the tender atmosphere.
Even in such close proximity, he still probed into her lips and teased her, and Yun Sheng's body quickly went limp again.
The nightgown had slipped down halfway, revealing the ties of the undergarment underneath.
Xiao Xu's fingers were hooked on it, not untied, but he still couldn't resist reaching under the hem of her clothes.
Yun Sheng felt a chill run down her spine and had to come back to her senses to grab the part of his arm that was outside: "No, not here."
Xiao Xu seemed not to have listened at all and continued.
He swallowed Yun Sheng's soft sobs, not letting her make any more noise, but he also didn't make any further moves.
Xiao Xu gave her a few final kisses before burying his face in the crook of her neck.
Yun Sheng slowly opened his eyes, only able to see his jet-black hair and his back rising and falling with his breath.
His breathing was deep and restrained, yet he still breathed heavily on her neck.
After a brief pause, Yun Sheng reached out and hugged him back.
Xiao Xu touched her neck with his lips, then suddenly asked in a muffled voice, "Am I the only one?"
"What?"
Yun Sheng slightly moved her arm, trying to lift his head from in front of her.
But Xiao Xu seemed unwilling to look her in the eye, and insisted on asking again: "Is me the only person you like?"
Yun Sheng paused for a moment, then answered him softly, "Yes, only you."
The two embraced quietly on the bed, the warm atmosphere lingering, their pounding hearts particularly noticeable.
Even though I didn't do anything, I felt an unstoppable boiling sensation.
His emotional fluctuations tonight were completely unexpected by Yun Sheng.
Xiao Xu finally loosened his grip on her arm, letting go of her a little, and then lay down on his own: "Go to sleep."
Yun Sheng was somewhat surprised, as the sensation on her side of her leg was still quite noticeable.
She blushed secretly where he couldn't see her, thinking that her uncontrollable emotions just now would not stop her.
Yun Sheng gently lifted her leg and nudged him: "This, you don't care?"
After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Xu turned over so that the area was away from her.
His voice was still hoarse and his breathing was heavy when he spoke: "I don't care."
Yun Sheng kindly suggested, "You can do it in the bathhouse."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xu turned his head and bit her neck.
Yun Sheng let out a soft gasp.
"I'll add it when I get back."
Yun Sheng looked up: "What compensation? Is this something I owe you?"
Xiao Xu closed his eyes, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips. He felt his lower abdomen tighten intensely from just that light touch, so he quickly pulled away and said, "It's something I owe you."
Yun Sheng muttered softly, "I didn't want it."
Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
But Xiao Xu suddenly grabbed her leg in bed, as if trying to pull her up.
Yun Sheng immediately pressed her hands together, hurriedly grabbing his hand: "I understand, you can make it up to me when you get back."
A low, husky laugh came from in front of me.
Xiao Xu said, "I want to be in the study."
"You're crazy."
Xiao Xu made no attempt to hide his feelings and frankly said, "I've never done anything there, but I always think about you there."
Yun Sheng couldn't stand his nonsense at a time like this, so she reached out and covered his mouth: "Stop talking, go to sleep."
Xiao Xu held her wrist and turned his head to kiss her palm.
Night had fallen, and the surroundings had become quiet.
Enveloped in the warmth of Xiao Xu's embrace, Yun Sheng soon fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Xu remained awake for a long time, staring at the old roof beams, his heart beating erratically, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, until it became a jumbled mess, and he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
*
The next day, Yun Sheng actually slept well in such a simple guest room, only to find that there was no one beside her when she woke up.
She slowly sat up, and was just about to change her clothes when the door was opened from the outside, and Xiao Xu walked in.
Today he wore an apricot-colored brocade robe, the clean and light color of which seemed out of place in the simple guest room, yet it brought a sense of clarity like the first rays of dawn.
Yun Sheng was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Xu seemed more natural than before. Despite not having slept all night, he was still refreshed and strode towards her, kissing her on the cheek: "You're awake."
Yun Sheng shook her head, thinking she might still be dreaming. Looking down, she saw that he was indeed wearing the sachet on his waist.
She sat on the tatami for a long time before finally asking, "When did you buy these clothes?"
"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, seeing that the outfit from last time was still quite suitable, I asked Mushan to prepare a few more sets."
"Anything else?" Yun Sheng heard her heartbeat quicken.
It has to be said that Xiao Xu has such an outstanding face, coupled with his tall and long-legged figure, that he looks like a natural clothes hanger no matter what he wears.
Even though he was wearing light-colored or even soft-colored clothes that he would never normally wear, she still couldn't imagine what he would look like in other bright colors.
Xiao Xu said, "Yes, there are still a few sets left."
"Why didn't I see you wearing it before?"
After asking the question, Yun Sheng thought of the previous few days when Xiao Xu first went to Mingjiang County for work and then traveled on the road. It didn't seem like a special day, and there was no need for him to dress up.
But today, it doesn't seem so...
“Today is special, and the weather has cleared up, so I thought I’d change into it,” Xiao Xu suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng forgot all about the blush-inducing night of the previous day and turned to look out the window. Sure enough, she saw colorful clouds on the horizon and the sun gradually peeking out.
"Great, then we can set off on our journey."
Yun Sheng was about to take off her nightgown to change her clothes when she looked up and saw Xiao Xu still in front of her, so she stepped aside.
However, her turning to the side was unnecessary, and Xiao Xu immediately moved closer and helped her untie the ties.
As he approached, Yun Sheng smelled the refreshing fragrance of bath beans.
She asked instinctively, "Did you take a shower this morning?"
Xiao Xu paused slightly, and before he could answer, Yun Sheng realized what was happening and stepped back.
His expression darkened slightly, and he reached out to pull her back: "She took a bath, just a bath."
Yun Sheng lowered her eyes, then raised them again, neither answering nor believing.
Xiao Xu's face darkened further. Realizing that he couldn't explain, he simply kept his lips pursed and didn't try to explain anymore.
He was in a state of heightened agitation all night and couldn't sleep at all.
As dawn approached, I felt a little calmer, so I got up to take a shower to wash away the fatigue from a sleepless night, and that was all.
Xiao Xu glanced at her silently, and quickly and skillfully helped her put on her clothes.
After having breakfast, they boarded the carriage and continued their journey.
It's only a three- to five-day journey to the capital.
The last leg of the journey went smoothly; the weather remained clear, and the trip was safe and uneventful.
By early September, they had finally arrived in the capital city, and that afternoon, the carriage drove through the city gate.
The next few days were mostly spent traveling, which made everyone feel exhausted, but as soon as they returned to the capital, Yun Sheng became excited again.
She bought many novelties along the way. Even as the carriage was still heading towards Prince Zhao's residence, she was already planning when to visit her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, when to return to her parents' home, and when to meet with her friends.
So she didn't notice that after entering the city gate, Xiao Xu's face showed that inexplicable gloomy mood again.
The carriage stopped in front of the Prince Zhao's residence.
Xiao Xu did not get out of the carriage, but pulled her and said, "I need to go to the palace first, and I will be back later."
"Don't you want to rest for a while?" Yun Sheng noticed his expression only then, but assumed that he was just tired from traveling all the way.
Xiao Xu said, "Let's get things done as soon as possible, and then rest for a few days."
Yun Sheng nodded and then asked, "Will you be back for dinner?"
"Yes, it won't be that late. We'll be back before 5 PM."
"good."
Knowing that Xiao Xu was already tied up with official duties, Yun Sheng didn't say anything more.
After saying that, she got up to get off the carriage.
But as she bent down to take a step, Xiao Xu still held her wrist tightly, preventing her from moving forward.
Yun Sheng turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xu gazed at her silently, remaining silent for a long time.
Until Yun Sheng twisted her wrist, as if trying to break free from his grasp.
Xiao Xu suddenly tightened his grip and pulled her back with increased force.
Yun Sheng cried out and fell back into Xiao Xu's arms.
"Sheng Sheng, do you like me?"
Yun Sheng's eyes widened in surprise, her mind still reeling, and her face flushed.
She couldn't help but push him: "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
Xiao Xu released her hand and instead wrapped his arms around her waist: "Say it again, you like me."
Yun Sheng was completely baffled. He suddenly asked her this without any warning, and how could she possibly answer?
Besides, didn't we already say that before?
Before Yun Sheng could say what he wanted to hear, Xiao Xu pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head so he could kiss her lips.
When Yun Sheng touched Xiao Xu's lips, she suddenly realized that they had barely kissed in the days that followed.
Perhaps it was because I was in a hurry and didn't have the mind to think about these things, or perhaps kissing could easily ignite a spark, so I deliberately didn't want to.
Upon contact, the body reacts instinctively.
Heat, humidity, and dryness intertwined.
But Yun Sheng hadn't forgotten that this was in front of the Prince Zhao's mansion, in broad daylight, with a group of servants waiting to give orders. If the mansion received the news, there might even be people coming to greet them at the gate.
Yun Sheng quickly pushed him away again: "Don't kiss me anymore..."
"Then tell me you like me."
I like you.
Yun Sheng's words were perfunctory, but they still made Xiao Xu's breathing become heavier.
Instead of letting him go, he pried open her lips and deepened the kiss.
Yun Sheng didn't know when she unconsciously responded with a kiss, and the kiss went from being Xiao Xu's doing to her becoming an accomplice.
The passionate kiss lasted a long time, and when they finally separated, Yun Sheng was already pinned down on the cushion.
A cool breeze drifted in through the carriage window.
Yun Sheng suddenly woke up and quickly sat up.
Looking down, she saw a mess in front of her. She frowned and tidied herself up while scolding him, "I told you not to kiss me."
She quickly tidied herself up, then turned around and saw that Xiao Xu wasn't in much better shape.
The front of her dress seemed to have been torn open when she reached inside, and the belt had somehow come loose.
And his lips, bearing the teeth marks she had bitten when she resisted, and the glistening red from her licking and sucking after she was aroused.
Yun Sheng's pupils constricted. Thinking that Xiao Xu would have to go to the palace later, she quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
Xiao Xu looked down at her, his Adam's apple bobbing slowly, and raised his hand to grasp her outstretched neck.
Yun Sheng slapped his hand away, then handed him the handkerchief, saying irritably, "Wipe it yourself."
Xiao Xu didn't think there was anything on his lips that needed wiping, but he still gripped the handkerchief and pretended to dab it lightly on his lips twice.
Yun Sheng didn't wait for him to return the handkerchief. Instead, she bent down and took out her small makeup mirror from the drawer below and handed it to him: "Before you go to the palace later... take a look at yourself first, and make sure the makeup is clean before you go in."
Xiao Xu picked up the makeup mirror and glanced at it, then lightly licked the teeth marks she had left behind.
Fearing he would inexplicably stop her from leaving again, Yun Sheng got up and walked to the carriage door before turning back. She saw the disheveled state in front of him and hurriedly said, "Remember to tidy up your clothes too. Alright, I'll head back to the manor now."
After saying that, Yun Sheng lifted the carriage curtain and quickly stepped out.
Cuizhu was waiting to the side. When she saw the person come out, she quickly reached out to help them up.
As soon as Yun Sheng landed steadily, she heard a gasp from beside her.
She turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
With a slightly flushed face, Cuizhu pointed to the corner of Yun Sheng's mouth, then realized she didn't know what to say, so she quickly lowered her head and took out the small makeup mirror she usually prepared for her mistress to show Yun Sheng.
When Yun Sheng looked, she realized that she had been so focused on wiping Xiao Xu's lips that she hadn't even remembered that the rosy color on Xiao Xu's lips came from her own.
The lipstick smeared with rouge on the corner of her lips made it obvious to anyone who looked at her.
Her face flushed red instantly, and she quickly tried to wipe it, only to find that she had also given the handkerchief to Xiao Xu.
"Give me your handkerchief, quickly." Yun Sheng whispered, her heart pounding with panic.
Cuizhu quickly handed over her clean handkerchief.
Yun Sheng hurriedly wiped away the lipstick from the corner of her mouth, feeling even more annoyed.
Looking back, she saw a hand with distinct knuckles lifting the carriage curtain, revealing Xiao Xu's face, who was looking down at her intently.
Yun Sheng frowned, glared at him, and her gaze lingered briefly on his lips, which were still rosy, whether from the kiss or from not wiping them clean.
Then, she slightly raised her chin, turned around angrily, and walked away.
Upon entering the mansion, Yun Sheng inwardly complained about Xiao Xu's inexplicable and reckless behavior, as well as his attempts to seduce her, while also wondering about the strange atmosphere within the mansion.
She asked, "Why is the manor so quiet today?"
Cuizhu had just returned to the manor with her, so naturally she didn't know: "This servant doesn't know either."
She didn't encounter anyone else from the manor until she returned to the East Courtyard, and Yun Sheng muttered to herself, "No one came to greet me either."
The atmosphere in the east courtyard remained the same, with the servants bowing and greeting each other, and the steward coming forward to inquire about their well-being.
Yun Sheng's fatigue from the journey surged again upon seeing the familiar house, so she temporarily put aside any other strange thoughts, ordered bath water, and planned to take a bath and rest first.
Several maids served Yun Sheng as she bathed, spending more time than usual to take care of her skin, which had been neglected throughout the journey.
After bathing, Yun Sheng felt refreshed and relaxed. She then lazily leaned against the chaise lounge and summoned a servant from the manor to inquire about her condition.
"How has everything been at your residence lately?"
Before the question could even be asked, the maid who came to answer immediately looked troubled.
Upon seeing this, Yun Sheng sat up and asked, "What happened?"
"this……"
"Just say it, why are you stammering?"
The maid knelt down: "Some things have happened in the manor recently, and I just don't know where to begin."
Yun Sheng didn't make anyone kneel, but she also didn't make anyone stand up.
She said seriously, "Then let's go through them one by one."
"A few days ago, the prince was attacked and injured, but the assassin has been captured and brought to justice, and his injuries have recovered well."
"The second young mistress was found to be pregnant last month, and the manor has gained another young master."
"besides……"
Yun Sheng frowned, wondering how these two completely different things could be reported at the same time.
She had already stood up from in front of the chaise lounge.
"what else?"
"And the Third Young Master has been found and is now back at the manor."
Yun Sheng's heartbeat paused for a moment, then resumed.
She felt that her expression hadn't shown anything excessively strange, but she still noticed the maid's face changing repeatedly, as if she had seen something she shouldn't have.
A moment of silence.
Yun Sheng instructed Cui Zhu, "Prepare some gifts. I'm going to Yi'an Hall and Jinxia Courtyard."
We're just going to Yi'an Hall and Jinxia Courtyard.
That's what Yun Sheng thought.
On her way there, she couldn't help but think that Xiao Ling had actually been found.
But why "surprisingly"? He should have been found long ago; he should have returned long ago.
She suddenly remembered what Xiao Xu had said before: "Even if he returns to the capital, I will still care."
Was it around that time?
Xiao Xu said that, but he still changed his previous approach and brought Xiao Ling back to the capital.
At this moment, Yun Sheng suddenly understood why Xiao Xu had been so concerned about whether Xiao Ling returned to the capital.
She believed that since she was already married to Xiao Xu, Xiao Ling was just her husband's younger brother, just like Xiao Min.
But now that Xiao Lingzhen has returned, she realizes that things are still different.
It's hard for her not to be emotionally affected by this news; instead of deliberately ignoring it, she continues to care about it.
Yun Sheng patted her chest and calmed herself down before entering Yi'an Hall.
Xiao Qingchuan was not at the manor, so Yun Sheng only saw Shen Yuewan.
Shen Yuewan didn't mention Xiao Ling at all, but instead asked her with great interest about her journey with Xiao Xu.
Yun Sheng also learned about the details of Xiao Qingchuan's assassination attempt, but fortunately everything was resolved without any real danger.
After visiting Yi'an Hall, Yun Sheng went to Jinxia Courtyard.
Xiao Min was also in the courtyard, pulling Lan Ge'er, who was circling around Liu Xian, to the side, worried that he might bump into Liu Xian in his excitement.
When Yun Sheng came looking for him, Xiao Min took Lan Ge'er away, leaving the two of them some space.
Liu Xian was very happy to see Yun Sheng.
"You're finally back! Lan-ge'er missed you, and I missed you terribly too."
Yun Sheng asked with concern, "How have you been lately? Is the baby alright?"
Liu Xian smiled and said, "You already know? That's great. It's just that his arrival was so sudden that we didn't even notice before. By the time we found out, it had already been almost three months."
"I've heard about many symptoms in early pregnancy, and the fact that you haven't noticed them shows that your baby is taking good care of you and hasn't bothered you at all."
"Yes, when Huai Lan was a child, he was very fussy. In the beginning, I couldn't get a full night's sleep."
The two hadn't seen each other for many days and chatted about everyday things for quite a while without stopping.
When Yun Sheng realized it was almost time, she got up to say goodbye.
Before leaving, he saw Liu Xian's expression flash briefly before quickly concealing itself.
Yun Sheng suddenly asked, "Ah Xian, Xiao Ling, has he returned yet?"
She didn't know why she needed to confirm something again, something she had already confirmed with the servants.
Perhaps it was because Shen Yuewan and Liu Xian both kept quiet about it in front of her that she felt a bit stifled.
Liu Xian paused for a moment, then realized what she meant: "Sheng Sheng, don't overthink it. I didn't mean anything by it. Third Brother did come back, but he hasn't been back long. We don't know what happened outside, but he's very emotionally unstable. So we didn't know how to tell you right away. Besides, you just got back, so I..."
Seeing Liu Xian's troubled expression, Yun Sheng said, "No, I'm not blaming you. I was just... asking casually."
Even after leaving Jinxia Courtyard, Yun Sheng's heart was still stirred by Liu Xian's words.
Xiao Ling's unstable emotions after returning were likely due to something Xiao Xu did to him.
Thinking of this, Yun Sheng quickly shook her head.
She was previously angry that Xiao Xu didn't trust her, so how could she doubt him now before knowing the truth?
Why was Xiao Ling's unstable emotions causing Liu Xian and Shen Yuewan to be at a loss as to how to begin talking to her?
Yun Sheng pondered for a long time but could not come to a conclusion.
As emotions surged within her, she couldn't help but stop and turn to ask the maid accompanying her, "Do you know where the Third Young Master's residence is?"
The maid was taken aback, raised her head, and opened her mouth to answer.
Suddenly, a steady footstep stopped her from speaking and also jolted Yun Sheng out of her thoughts.
Yun Sheng turned her head to the side and saw Xiao Xu striding towards her from afar.
Xiao Xu walked a few steps to her and asked in a calm voice, "Sheng Sheng, where are you going?"
