Rong Mu felt a pang of sadness, especially when he heard that Su Wenlan would leave sooner or later and might never come to Wenhong County again. He felt extremely distressed and pained.
It felt as if someone had squeezed his heart tightly, the pain was unbearable and made him feel suffocated!
A strong thought surged within him: he didn't want Miss Su to leave, nor did he want to never see her again. If Miss Su left and never appeared in his life again, Rong Mu would feel that it wouldn't matter whether he owned Qinxiang Pavilion or not.
Seeing the sadness and disappointment in Su Wenlan's eyes, Rong Mu was even more tormented and unable to control himself.
"I'm sorry, Miss Su, I didn't think it through!" Rong Mu apologized again. "Since we are partners, I will definitely tell you if I have any ideas! We'll discuss things together and make Qinxiang Pavilion's business better and better! And Miss Su will always come first!"
"Okay!" Su Wenlan breathed a sigh of relief. "Since that's the case, then you can think about your own ideas. I'm going back to rest now. I'm tired after doing makeup for people all day! You decide what to do. I'm leaving!"
Su Wenlan left without a second glance at Rong Mu, head held high and chest puffed out, leaving Qinxiang Pavilion without looking back.
Rong Mu stared blankly at Su Wenlan's departing figure, watching and watching, until Su Wenlan boarded the carriage and even the shadow of the carriage could no longer be seen, before Rong Mu withdrew his gaze.
Empty! So empty! My heart feels empty, like I've lost my soul.
This feeling was so unfamiliar, something he had never experienced before, that Rong Mu felt as if something had slipped out of his control and was becoming increasingly difficult to grasp.
He didn't like this feeling! He really didn't like it!
But what can I do if I don't like it? I can't shake off this empty, painful feeling!
The business at Qinxiang Pavilion was still booming, and Rong Mu couldn't leave. After all, everyone who came to see the cosmetics he had brought out was there. But what about Xiaoxiang Pavilion... sigh! Rong Mu sighed. He would wait a bit, and once he had taught the people at Qinxiang Pavilion how to use the cosmetics, they would be able to help him in the future!
Therefore, Rong Mu temporarily abandoned the business of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. With the manager overseeing it, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Therefore, Rong Mu waited until all the guests left and the manager of Qinxiang Pavilion had settled the accounts before taking out his share of the silver. Then he gave a set of rouge and face powder to the people of Qinxiang Pavilion, so that they could learn to do makeup themselves and then they could do makeup for the guests.
He'll give them one set for now, and wait until they've learned how to use it. He'll give them one set to each of them when Shengbao says he can give them one set to each of them.
Even if it were just a set of rouge and face powder, everyone would be overjoyed, because they knew very well how expensive rouge and face powder were. Now that Young Master Rong Mu was willing to give them rouge and face powder, they were more than happy. How could they possibly let Rong Mu give each of them a set?
So they all went home a little later and studied in the Fragrant Pavilion, doing their own makeup and that of their companions. Although they didn't get to do their own makeup for the guests today, they had seen Miss Su do makeup for the guests quite a few times, so they had all learned pretty much.
After seeing the effects of the rouge and powder on their faces, everyone was very happy. If they continued like this every day, their shop's business would definitely be booming!
Rong Mu left Qinxiang Pavilion and walked alone on the street. He watched the passersby hurrying home, but the word "home" was not on Rong Mu's mind at all. His mind was full of Su Wenlan.
So he looked like a walking corpse, a soulless piece of wood.
Su Wenlan! Su Wenlan! His mind was filled with Su Wenlan's voice and smile!! Rong Mu felt like he was going crazy, that he must be sick, otherwise how could his mind be filled with Su Wenlan's image? Even the memories of being with Su Wenlan were uncontrollably flashing through his mind.
Although he had been working at Xiaoxiang Pavilion and hadn't seen Su Wenlan much before, especially when Su Wenxian was there, he had been spending more time with Su Wenlan since Su Wenxian left. He could even see Su Wenlan every morning when he went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and he could see her whether he was working or resting!
They even eat together!
Later, Su Wenlan took the initiative to contact him because she needed to find Sheng Bao to treat the dark spots on her face. However, she was afraid of delaying Sheng Bao's treatment and saving lives, so she kept asking him to help make the connection.
Later, Sheng Bao asked him to sell cosmetics, and Su Wenlan acted as his middleman, helping him quickly gain customers and sell all his cosmetics. His business became increasingly smooth, without him feeling any hardship. He even shamelessly set his sights on Qinxiang Pavilion, which was truly outrageous.
As Rong Mu pondered this, he realized that Su Wenlan had become even more deeply ingrained in his mind, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't erase her.
He didn't even realize he had arrived at the Su family's gate. Looking at the Su family's gate, Rong Mu hesitated and stopped in his tracks.
He used to cross this gate often when Su Wenxian was around, but he hasn't stepped through it since Su Wenxian left.
But now...
Miss Su Wenlan!!
No, no! This is wrong! It's getting dark, he has to go home immediately. He can't just go into the Su family home to find Miss Su Wenlan as he pleases. He doesn't understand why his heart and mind are filled with Su Wenlan's image, so he must go back and figure this out before he can see Miss Su!
So Rong Mu turned around without hesitation and quickened his pace toward Huimin Medical Clinic.
But he didn't notice that at the entrance of the Su family's gate, there was a woman watching his departing figure with disappointment, tears welling up in her eyes.
When Rong Mu returned to the clinic, Rong Sheng and the others were busy. He didn't disturb them, nor did he notice that Rong Dong'an and Rong Hua were gone. He then quietly returned home.
After returning home, Rong Mu sat on a chair in the main room for half a day, unaware that Rong Sheng had returned, and did not hear a sound.
Rong Sheng frowned as she looked at her third brother, who stood there like a wooden statue. Things had been progressing smoothly for him these past two days, and there shouldn't have been any unexpected problems. Why was he looking so worried? And why hadn't he responded to her calls several times? What was he doing?
"Third Brother! Third Brother! Third Brother!" Rong Sheng walked to Rong Mu's side and called out several times, her voice quite loud, but Rong Mu still didn't hear her. Seeing Rong Mu like this, Rong Sheng's dark eyes rolled, and then she hit Rong Mu's head hard: "Rong Mu! I'm talking to you, why aren't you ignoring me? Do you want Father and Mother to punish you!"
Rong Mu was startled awake by Rong Sheng's knock and her shrewish voice. He quickly patted his frightened heart and said, "Sheng Bao, make a sound when you come back! Why do you always scare your third brother like this! You almost scared my heart out!"
Rong Sheng: "..."
