Song Xi stretched her waist slightly, knowing that the effects of the backlash would last for seven days.
She cannot make any further moves for at least seven days.
As for the person who rescued Haoran, there must be traces left behind wherever they went. Besides, that barrier was originally bait she set up. Now that the other party has taken the bait, she will wait to cast a long line to catch a big fish.
While Song Xiwei was resting, Ao secretly went out for a while.
When Ruoliao saw Aoqian, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Lord."
"No need for formalities." Aoqian looked at the elderly man beside Ruoliao, "Grandpa Xiu."
"Young Master hasn't come looking for us, so we had no choice but to come looking for him. When will you come with us?" Grandpa Xiu asked.
Ruoliao also looked at Aoqian with anticipation.
Aoqian simply said, "Wait a little longer."
“Young Master, I know you have a capable assistant by your side now, but he is only one person, and we can’t afford to gamble,” Ruoliao said anxiously.
Grandpa Xiu pondered for a moment, then asked Aoqian, "Could you arrange for me to meet the person that Young Master has recently recruited?"
Ao Qian said calmly, "We'll talk about it later. I should go back now."
Aoqian got up to leave, and Ruoliao hurriedly followed, "Young Master, let me go with you. You need someone to take care of you. Although I know you never intended to marry me, and our engagement could be voided at any time, I still want to do something for you..."
Ruoliao looked at Aoqian expectantly, trying to soften his heart and make him stay.
But Aoqian still refused, saying, "There's no need for that."
"Young Master, do you value that subordinate so much because I almost injured him before, and that's why you won't let me stay? I can apologize to him. I was indeed wrong back then. Let me go and apologize to him." Ruoliao was quick-witted and immediately changed her approach.
Aoqian fell into deep thought, probably considering her words.
Grandpa Xiu said, "Young Master, with Ruoliao by your side, I feel more at ease, and I can help you if anything happens."
Aoqian still had to give face to Grandpa Xiu.
Ao Qian relented, "Okay."
...
When Song Xiwei woke up, she heard people arguing outside the door.
She opened the door and saw Xiao Zhuang facing Ruoliao with a tense standoff.
Upon seeing Song Xiwei, Xiao Zhuang immediately stood confidently beside her, while Ruoliao bowed respectfully to Song Xiwei, saying, "I was very rude to you before, please don't take it to heart, Young Master Song. I've come here specifically to apologize."
Song Xiwei never expected that Aoqian's fiancée would actually return and give her such a formal apology.
She hadn't really taken the matter to heart, and besides, Ruoliao's whip had been a great help. She quickly said to Ruoliao, "Please get up, Miss Ruoliao. That matter is all in the past."
"So, Young Master Song, you've forgiven me?" Ruoliao looked at Song Xiwei with sparkling eyes.
Song Xi nodded slightly, "Yes, Miss Ruoliao, please don't worry."
"Young Master, he has forgiven me. Can I stay by your side now?" Ruoliao turned around and excitedly asked Aoqian, who was not far away.
Song Xiwei then realized that Aoqian was actually watching her from not far away.
Their eyes met. Behind Aoqian was a blanket of white snow. He stood tall and elegant, his cool and aloof face seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Immediately afterward, Song Xiwei heard Ruoliao's excited voice say, "Young Master can't do without someone to serve him."
Song Xiwei suddenly came to her senses and remembered the relationship between Ruoliao and Aoqian.
A subtle feeling suddenly arose in my heart.
