I thought it was Liu Tong.
As I got closer, I heard the voice of a maid.
Ning Ruyan subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at the pendant clock hanging on the wall of the hall.
It was long past curfew.
Logically speaking, the maid cannot continue to stay in the main house.
Ning Ruyan was wondering if there was any special situation, but she heard a maid talking about Yan Ce and Xiao Yi and others. Then she realized that Xiao Yi and others had come to the Imperial Mansion.
Ning Ruyan paused slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, she immediately took the elevator upstairs. After returning to the room, she dressed up carefully and then took the elevator to the chess and card room.
Even though she was already engaged to Pei Yucheng.
but--
Xiao Yi, Yan Ce, Lian Zhan and the others' attitude towards her...
How to describe it?!
Too indifferent.
That kind of indifference was filled with contempt and disdain.
Those men probably looked down on her.
How could I look down on you?!
The day of engagement.
When Xiao Yi was implying something about her father, he didn't care at all about her presence.
Although it was indeed her father's ulterior motives and he had lost face, but... his unyielding attitude clearly showed that he did not take her seriously at all.
Ning Ruyan must be unhappy too.
But what can she do?!
Xiao Yi and his men are too powerful.
Not only can we not offend in the slightest.
Moreover... if you want to completely integrate into Pei Yucheng's circle and have a certain weight, you have to please them.
Therefore, before going to the chess and card room, Ning Ruyan went to the kitchen specifically to prepare fruits and snacks, hoping to take the opportunity to gain some goodwill.
Of course, Ning Ruyan had no intention of stopping along the way.
She was racking her brain trying to figure out how to fit into this circle of men as quickly as possible.
On weekdays, Pei Yucheng didn't seem to like taking her to their parties.
Ning Ruyan can only rely on herself to find a solution.
Just as Ning Ruyan was contemplating whether to go to the wine cellar to pick out a bottle of fine wine, she had just reached the door of the chess and card room when she heard Yan Ce's teasing voice coming through the door: "Your face isn't even this clean. Master Cheng's possessiveness is truly extraordinary!"
Ning Ruyan stopped in her tracks immediately.
I was thinking: What's so clean?! What's Pei Yucheng's possessiveness?!
Before he could fully understand what was going on, Lian Zhan's somewhat excited voice could be heard: "I'm inexplicably curious about what happened to that 'handsome' little brother. Guess what happened?!"
Yan Ce asked Lian Zhan, "Do you know what 'nonsense literature' is?!"
Lian Zhan: "What is it?!"
Yan Ce: "Weren't you performing just now?!"
While Lian Zhan was puzzled, Xiao Yi slowly translated, "Though Tang Ye is alive now, he was as good as dead back then. He couldn't even breathe when he was carried out of the barracks. What do you think will happen to a man who was praised as handsome by Ji Yuqi?!"
Yan Ce immediately responded, "It's been almost an hour and a half, and I haven't returned to the chess and card room yet. I guess that little brother is suffering from hemiplegia, which is the least of his problems!"
Lian Zhan: "The murderous aura is so strong. Who just said he was gentle today?!"
Ning Ruyan stood in the chess and card room for a long time before she finally understood: Pei Yucheng not only blocked all news about Ji Yuqi, but also, when Ji Yuqi praised another man for being handsome, Pei Yucheng was jealous?!
Ning Ruyan wanted to pretend that she heard nothing and continued to carry the fruit plate in her hand into the chess and card room.
but……
The fire in her chest burned uncontrollably, growing more and more intense, especially when she thought about the trending news about her and Ji Yuqi, which had also been blocked. She could no longer suppress it and turned around to take the elevator back to her room.
The first thing I do after closing the door is to find my phone and check the trending news.
It’s cleaner than my face!
Ning Ruyan kept brushing.
A few seconds before Jin Li called, she was scrolling through trending searches when she finally found a headline about Ji Yuqi: "The Ji heroine in 'Shuangli' is indeed not a simple character." Ning Ruyan wanted to click on it to see what the news was about, but the moment she clicked on it, she was told that the network was down...
