Rong Xue gently shook the wine glass in her hand and asked softly, "Would you like a drink?"
Gu Yufei was slightly stunned, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
Although Rong Xue seemed quite frivolous, his behavior did not show that he had done anything bad to her. On the contrary, he helped her in every way.
After a brief hesitation, Gu Yufei finally nodded: "Okay, let's have a drink." She took the wine glass handed to her by Rong Xue, took a sip, and felt the taste of the wine spreading in her mouth.
As the alcohol took effect, Gu Yufei's face gradually turned red, and her eyes became brighter and more relaxed.
"I'm sorry for what happened today and for making you sad. That girl didn't know her limits. I've asked Zixuan to take her to receive punishment." Xuerong looked into Gu Yufei's eyes and said seriously.
"Actually, these are all your business. We just have a contractual relationship. After five years, we will go our separate ways." Gu Yufei said softly.
The wind rustled the leaves.
After a moment's silence, Rong Xue continued, "But I still don't want you to misunderstand. This place exists because there's someone who wants me to be with a beautiful woman, have children, and enjoy the happiness of a happy family."
"He's your good friend, right? Where is he now?"
"He is no longer alive."
Gu Yufei's heart skipped a beat.
When Rong Xue said these words, there seemed to be a hint of a smile on his face. His tone sounded nonchalant, but his eyes could not hide the sadness and loneliness.
Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, Gu Yufei really wanted to hug the man in front of her.
By the time she reacted, she had already walked in front of Rong Xue involuntarily.
Rong Xue slowly stretched out her hands and embraced Gu Yufei in her arms. As if possessed by some mysterious force, she also stretched out her hands and hugged Rong Xue tightly.
"Ah..." What is she doing?
Gu Yufei suddenly reacted and jumped out of Rong Xue's arms.
Rong Xue's eyes curved. "I didn't expect you to be so proactive. I like that about you. It's so nice this way. Unlike the cold you were before."
"You're such a good fool!" Gu Yufei blushed and her heart beat fast, and she ran back to her room as if escaping.
Zixuan sat quietly in her room, the moonlight outside the window shining on her soft face, highlighting her peaceful temperament.
She caught the sound of Rong Xue and Gu Yufei talking in the distance.
She stood up and tiptoed closer to the window, as if trying to hear the conversation more clearly. A faint smile appeared on her face, and her eyes flickered with a thoughtful look.
"Young Master has finally found the one he loves." Zixuan thought silently in her heart. Although her voice did not spill out of her lips, it was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, gentle and affectionate.
Nowadays, it’s great.

Imperial Master's Mansion
"Is there any news about the two assassins?" Shangguan Qing stood with his back to the light.
"Sir, we haven't found anything yet." Shufeng reported truthfully.
He has sent many people out to search, but so far nothing has been found. These two assassins are indeed very powerful and they have done it so perfectly.
"We have to hold on tighter." Shangguan Qing frowned.
He always felt vaguely uneasy.
"yes!"
Shufeng came out of Shangguan Qing's room and returned to his own room.
He took out a hairpin from the cabinet, which was a relic of his master.
No matter what the world says, his master is the person he loves the most.
