Chapter 334
Yunxi returned to Jibai Residence, but her mind was elsewhere.
Even knowing she was a concubine and that she could never escape this status in her life, she still couldn't help but yearn for freedom and the life she used to have.
When Shen Rang returned, he saw Yun Xi resting her chin on her hand, deep in thought.
It's unclear what she was thinking, but the corners of her lips turned up slightly, and her eyes were filled with unwavering anticipation.
For the first time, Shen Rang found that smile so dazzling.
What is she thinking?
Do you want to leave the Marquis's mansion and elope with Duan Huaichuan?
Without realizing it, the hands hidden in the sleeves had clenched into fists.
Just then, Yunxi's eyes flickered, and her gaze fell on him.
“Zirong,” Yunxi stood up and walked towards him, “you’re back.”
Shen Rang snapped out of his daze, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly: "Hmm."
"How's the engagement going?"
"smoothly."
Yunxi tilted her head as she looked at Shen Rang.
Is it just my imagination?
Why did she feel that Shen Rang was different today than before?
The difference between Shen and Rang became even more apparent at night.
Surprisingly, he didn't pester her for more.
Yunxi looked at him with suspicion, becoming more and more certain that something had happened.
After much internal struggle, she finally sat up and pressed half of her body against Chen Rang.
Although Shen Rang had his eyes closed, he wasn't asleep. Noticing Yun Xi's movement, he instinctively put his arm around her waist: "What's wrong?"
"Zirong, what happened today?" Yunxi asked softly. "You seem unhappy."
Shen Rang opened his eyes and turned his head to look at her, but did not say anything.
Shen Rang's eyes are long and narrow, with slightly upturned corners that create a sharp arc, giving him an innate air of indifference.
The two locked eyes, and the other's breathing could be clearly heard.
After a long while, Shen Rang parted his thin lips slightly: "Xi'er, I really can't decide the position of the young mistress right now, but that may not be the case in time."
He already had a plan in mind, but since the opportunity hadn't arrived yet, he couldn't act on it for the time being.
Yunxi blinked, not understanding why he suddenly brought this up.
Shen Rang looked at her, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, he pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
He knew that his status as a concubine was not good enough for Yunxi, and he would make her stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
He would also help her obtain an imperial title, allowing her to establish herself in Luoyang City.
With the title of imperial consort, no one dared to mention Yunxi's past anymore, and she could live a life of luxury and comfort.
So, could we be a little more lenient with him and give him some more time?
"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Yunxi asked. "Did something unpleasant happen at the Yun family home today?"
“…No.” Shen Rang closed his eyes, choosing to evade the question.
Yunxi's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Then shall we just sleep together tonight?"
"Um."
Tomorrow, Doctor Wei from Riyuantang will come again to examine Yunxi's pulse.
He needs to save his strength for later.
Thinking this, Shen Rang couldn't help but give a bitter smile to himself.
It's a shame that he's been well-versed in classical Chinese literature since childhood; he's now surprisingly thinking of using children to bind women.
So dark...
Shen Rang took a deep breath, turned to the side, and placed the woman on the bed: "Sleep."
Yunxi's mind was still blank.
She was just let go like that?
Shen Rang went to the Yun family, so why is he so cold to her after he came back?
Yunxi looked puzzled.
"Zirong?"
"......"
