Chapter 204
Shen Rang's face was already a terrible sight, and Jing Yuan and Le An silently covered their eyes.
Yunxi realized something was wrong, but she could only sense that Shen Rang was unhappy, without knowing why.
"Zirong, what's wrong?"
Her voice was soft, but it did not quell the anger in Chen Rang's heart.
A few days ago, Yuan told him that Yunxi had prepared a gift for him, but now it seems that even if the gift really exists, it wasn't prepared for him.
If it wasn't for him, then who else could it be for?
Shen Rang guessed who it was in an instant.
Duan Huaichuan.
It's for Duan Huaichuan.
He spent every day and night with her, but in the end, he couldn't compete with the bond between two childhood sweethearts.
Seeing the disappointment and mockery flash in Shen Rang's eyes, Yun Xi panicked and subconsciously tried to take his hand, but he avoided her.
“Duan Huaichuan can also write, go find him.”
After leaving a message, Shen Rang turned and left.
"Zirong..."
Yunxi chased after him for a few steps, but Shen Rang had already walked far away.
Watching Shen Rang's retreating figure, Yun Xi frowned.
Why did Shen Rang suddenly lose his temper like this?
Turning to look at Le'an, who looked guilty, Yunxi narrowed her eyes: "Le'an, what's wrong?"
Le'an shuddered, her face fell, and she told Yunxi what had happened a few days ago.
"Auntie, I didn't mean to..."
Yunxi could only sigh after hearing this.
This matter cannot be blamed on Le'an.
"Where's Jixiang? He went to the front yard to deliver something and hasn't come back yet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jixiang cautiously entered.
Jixiang had already returned from the front yard, but for some reason, the closer she got to Jibai Residence, the more flustered she became. She wanted to prepare herself properly outside before coming in, but before she was ready, Shen Rang stormed off in a huff.
Upon seeing this, Jixiang knew something was wrong and rushed in.
Jixiang carefully walked to Yunxi's side and handed her the cloth bag in her arms: "Auntie, this is for you by Young Master Duan. He said it's a letter from home."
Hopefully, Yunxi won't blame her too much because of this pile of family letters.
Yunxi didn't say anything, but took the cloth bag from her hand and turned back.
Jixiang and Le'an exchanged a glance and were about to follow when the door to the warm pavilion closed right in front of them.
"You don't need to come in and serve me anymore. Go back and rest."
Jixiang and Le'an exchanged another glance, then sighed and left.

Meanwhile, Jingyuan followed Shen Rang to Shuiyanglou.
This waterside pavilion is a nice place in the summer, but it's damp and cold in the winter. It's unbearable even during the day, let alone on a winter night.
But there was nothing he could do. Zheng had removed Buweizhai's bed, and it hadn't been put back in yet. If he didn't come to Shuiyanglou, he would have to go to Liuyunyuan.
Jing Yuan silently lit two more braziers.
Shen Rang sat down by the wide window, watching the shimmering gold light before him, but the melancholy in his heart could not be dispelled.
Yunxi prepared a gift for Duan Huaichuan, but he received nothing. Clearly, Yunxi hadn't thought of him at all when preparing the gift.
At that time, Yunxi only had Duan Huaichuan in her heart.
The thought that Yunxi's heart had been completely occupied by another man, leaving no room for him, drove Shen Rang almost to madness.
