Ming Shu's cheek twitched violently, and he turned around with an extremely unnatural expression: "Lady Lin..."
Lin Jinyu had been waiting for news of Su Xuerong for days without success and had already given up hope, but she never expected that Su Xuerong would come today.
Seeing Ming Shu's embarrassed attempt to avoid her, Su Xuerong picked up Yuan Jie'er, who was gnawing on her toes beside her, and left with Su Jian, who was digging in the soil in the garden: "You two can talk slowly."
Xiuchun smiled and left a pot of tea and some snacks before leaving.
Ming Shu felt increasingly awkward, looking at the girl in front of him with a stiff expression: "Long time no see..."
Lin Jinyu looked at Ming Shu, whose face was flushed red, and felt a wave of embarrassment. She quickly took out something she had prepared beforehand from her sleeve and handed it to him: "Here, this is for you."
Akira instinctively took a few steps back before he could see what was in her hand.
The jade pendant that he forced Xu Songnian to hand over in Linjiazhuang years ago.
"This...didn't I already give it to you?"
Lin Jinyu smiled slightly at him: "I have been keeping this jade pendant, but I was worried that I might not be able to meet you again in the future. Now that you have come, it is returned to its rightful owner."
Looking at the poised and confident expression on her face, Ming Shu hesitated and asked, "You came to see me a few days ago about this?"
Lin Jinyu stepped forward and shoved the jade pendant into his hand: "What else could it be? Do you think I would repay kindness with enmity and force you to marry me?"
Akira's face stiffened again.
Lin Jinyu chuckled and said, "Let me tell you, my father has already arranged a marriage for me, so don't even think about me giving myself to you!"
Ming Shu immediately felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders and let out a long sigh of relief: "No, no..."
Lin Jinyu said, "I've returned the things to you. They won't be seen again. You can go now!"
Ming Shu hurriedly put away the jade pendant and left in a hurry.
The composed smile on Lin Jinyu's face gradually faded as she saw him flee as if running away, and a deep sense of loneliness appeared in her eyes.
Su Xuerong wanted to ask Ling Qingxue about the details of Ge Erlang, but learned that he had been so busy at the Prince's Mansion these past few days that he hadn't been able to come back for several days.
The next day at noon, Su Xuerong led Xiuchun into the waiting carriage and headed towards the shore of West Lake.
Half an hour later, the carriage finally arrived at Jujing Garden on the east side of West Lake.
After being helped down from the carriage by Xiuchun's hand, she looked up and saw the man standing in front of the garden gate.
