He smiled slightly, suppressing a laugh, and said, "I received it." After saying that, he hung the towel back on the basin stand, came out again, and gently instructed, "You should rest well. I'll come over to have dinner with you tonight."
"Oh." Shangguan Yanran nodded, knowing he was busy, so she didn't bother him.
Just thinking about one thing, she twisted her fingers and looked at him with some hesitation.
Fu Rongchen paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"
Shangguan Yanran quickly asked, "Have you calmed down yet?"
Fu Rongchen said ambiguously, "It depends on your performance."
"My performance?" Shangguan Yanran was taken aback. Was her performance just now not sincere enough?
She's already tried her best, and she thinks she's done a good job.
Seeing her adorable distress, Fu Rongchen suddenly felt a strong urge to abandon everything and simply follow her absurd idea.
A haven of gentle pleasures, a graveyard for heroes.
He used to scoff at those words, but now... he suddenly felt a deep connection to them, even though he wasn't a hero.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to leave the room, so he didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly left.
As soon as Fu Rongchen left, Shangguan Yanran took out a book on romance from under her pillow and began to cram.
She clearly followed the techniques taught in the book, so could she have learned them incorrectly?
On the contrary, Fu Rongchen, who clearly had no experience before, felt that he was much better than her after a few times. He could tease her until her legs went weak and she couldn't stand up.
Is it possible that men are born with an innate talent for this kind of thing?
She fell into deep thought.
A few days later, her injury finally healed, and she no longer needed to drink bitter medicine. She was overjoyed.
After being cooped up for several days, she was getting restless and decided to go out for a stroll while Fu Rongchen was on an inspection tour and not in the mansion.
However, as soon as she arrived at the gate of the mansion, she ran into a group of people.
Madam Fu stepped out of the carriage, took Shi Hua's hand, and got off.
As soon as he regained his footing, he saw Shangguan Yanran standing at the gate of the mansion, and his expression changed instantly.
When Shangguan Yanran saw her, her heart sank. She glanced at Shi Hua standing next to her and knew that the visitor was not friendly, but she still stepped forward and greeted Madam Fu.
Madam Fu was not one to hide her emotions; in such a short time, the displeasure on her face was palpable, even to a blind person.
"I thought Shihua was just making things up, but I didn't expect you to actually be here."
Shangguan Yanran met her gaze openly, seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm in her words. She smiled and said, "Aunt Fu, did you come to Xuzhou specifically for me?"
When Madam Fu saw that Yanran not only showed no shame upon seeing her but could even smile, her face immediately darkened, and she said with great distress, "Yanran, I always thought you were a well-mannered and knowledgeable child, but I never expected that you would come to Xuzhou to find Rong Chen without any matchmaker or betrothal. I... I am truly ashamed for your parents."
When she was young, Madam Fu was a beauty. Even now, as she gets older, she still retains her charm. Even when she is stern and reprimanding people, she still has a certain elegance.
Even without listening to what she's saying, just looking at her is a visual treat in itself.
But the moment the beauty opened her mouth to speak, that beauty was ruined.
Shangguan Yanran withdrew her gaze somewhat uninterestedly. "Auntie, you're overthinking it. My parents don't think that way about me, so you don't need to go through all that trouble and feel ashamed for them."
