Chapter 115
Shen Rang took a deep breath, met Yun Xi's questioning and worried gaze, and said, "This wood carving isn't very exquisite, and it's quite old. I'll find you a better one tomorrow. As for this one..."
Shen Rang reached out his hand toward the wooden rabbit carving.
However, his hand had barely touched the wood carving when it was pressed down by a soft, white hand.
"Your Highness, you don't mean to take this away, do you!" Yunxi was truly anxious. "No, no, this is the first thing Brother Huaichuan carved, besides, besides..."
Besides, she didn't bring many things from Qingshui Village, and each item was precious to her, something she didn't want to lose.
"Anyway, this cannot be given to the Crown Prince!"
As Yunxi spoke, she snatched the wooden rabbit carving back from Chen Rang's men and held it tightly in her hand.
The delicate back of my hand brushed against my somewhat rough fingertips, just like that.
She looked at Shen Rang as if afraid he would try to take it from her; her bright, clear eyes even held a hint of wariness and pleading.
Meeting her gaze, Shen Rang suddenly smiled.
It's just a small wooden rabbit carving, yet she cherishes it so much...
The bond between childhood sweethearts is truly unparalleled.
Shen Rang withdrew his hand, his fingertips unconsciously twirling slightly: "You cherish it that much?"
His voice was unreadable.
This was the first time Yunxi felt that Shen Rang was so unfathomable.
Even though he was standing right in front of me, he seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.
But Yunxi nodded nonetheless.
Shen Rang chuckled softly.
"good."
After leaving that word, Shen Rang turned and left.
His back view was aloof, and he exuded a chilling aura.
Jingyuan, who was originally standing by the side door taking a break and had no proper posture, suddenly straightened up. He first glanced at Chen Rang, then peeked into the back room.
Is this some kind of ghost?!
That person actually angered our young master?!
However, the next moment, he met a pair of equally bewildered eyes.
Yunxi realized she might have said something wrong, but didn't know what she had done wrong, so she leaned out to look, and her eyes met Jingyuan's.
Jing Yuan pointed to Shen Rang's back and then spread his hands with a puzzled look on his face.
What does that mean, "What happened to the Crown Prince?"
Yunxi shook her head blankly.
It means she didn't know either.
Jing Yuan sighed, gave her a reassuring look, and then followed after her.
——
No one knows what Jingyuan said to Shenrang, but for several days afterward, Shenrang didn't bring her any food.
It was Jingyuan who came every time.
Today I'll send you a steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar, tomorrow a steamed cheese with sugar, and the day after tomorrow abalone with butter. Although the dishes are different every day and are all exquisite, I haven't seen Shen Rang since.
On this day, Yunxi was sitting by the window in a daze when she suddenly heard a silvery laugh coming from in front of her.
"Husband, you are finally off work today. What should we do together?"
"I will do whatever you say, Madam. Whatever you want to do, I will do as you please."
Upon hearing this, Yunxi instinctively opened the window and looked towards the source of the sound.
As autumn transitioned into winter, with plants withering, her gaze easily passed over the bare branches and met a pair of cold, piercing phoenix eyes.
