Chapter 538
After hearing Shen Rang's words, Madam Yun was completely speechless.
Because it was obvious that Shen Rang didn't care about her.
It was only then that Madam Yun belatedly realized that Shen Rang had been quite respectful to her before because Yun Xi was there, not because of Yun Wan.
Seeing that Madam Yun remained silent, Shen Rang released the person in his arms, turned around, bowed to Madam Chen, and called out "Mother".
This shout not only stunned Madam Chen, but also made Yunxi widen her eyes and stare at him as if she had seen a ghost.
But Shen Rang didn't think there was anything wrong with his way of addressing her: "I have something I want to say to Xi'er alone."
Madam Chen snapped out of her reverie, her brows furrowing slightly: "As soon as possible."
Shen Rang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and then turned to look at Yun Xi.
The last time I saw her was at night, and I couldn't see her clearly because of the hazy light. Now, under the sunlight, I realize that Yunxi has changed a lot since a year ago.
His eyes and brows were no longer filled with melancholy and worry; he seemed to have been reborn.
It got better.
"Xi'er," Shen Rang called her softly.
He tentatively reached out and took Yunxi's wrist, leading her into a dark alley to the side.
After turning a corner, shutting out the noise and stares from outside, Shen Rang finally couldn't wait to pull the person into his arms.
"Xi'er..."
Yunxi just stood there, without hugging him as usual.
"Young Master Shen, please speak plainly if you have something to say," Yunxi said coldly.
She was very angry.
Shen Rang sighed, "I wasn't strong enough back then to protect you, Xi'er. I was wrong."
His movements loosened slightly, and Yunxi used the momentum to push him away, taking two steps back herself: "I don't blame you for what happened back then."
Meeting Yunxi's slightly reddened eyes, Shen Rang was slightly taken aback: "Xi'er?"
The two looked at each other, but Yunxi remained silent, so Shen Rang did not dare to speak first.
But such repression is always hard to bear.
Before Shen Rang could speak, Yun Xi spoke first: "Why didn't you come to see me this past year?"
"With your great abilities, Young Master Shen, surely you wouldn't be so incompetent as to not even know where I am?"
"But you didn't come."
She waited for him for a long time.
He not only didn't come, but he didn't even write her a letter.
Later, Yunxi let it go.
At first, she might have felt a bit of novelty towards Shen Rang, but after spending a considerable amount of time together, that novelty was gradually worn away by the little things.
This is the only answer that can explain why he didn't come to find him.
Gradually, Yunxi gave up hope.
But now, he's jumped out again and said a bunch of nonsense. What stance is he trying to take?
Not long ago, he even climbed into her bed...
Although her parents could force Yun Changliang to submit, Shen Rang was inherently arrogant, which Yun Xi didn't think; he was also forced by the times.
Thinking about it, Yunxi felt that it was stupid of her to be asking for an answer here.
There's no need for that anymore.
Yunxi turned and left.
However, an irresistible force pressed her into that broad embrace.
“I don’t know,” the person behind me said, their voice trembling. “I don’t know, Xi’er.”
"I can't protect you, I have no face to see you."
"Yun's debauchery in the inner quarters is one of the seven grounds for divorce. I thought I could use this as an excuse to divorce her from the Marquis's mansion and then bring you back. But I never expected that she would be the Crown Prince's daughter, and that the Crown Prince would support her. I... really have no choice."
“I think if we bring you back to the Marquis’s mansion, your situation will definitely be worse than before. In comparison, at least you are free outside.”
“Le’an is, after all, a member of the Marquis’s household. If anything happens to you, she will find a way to contact the Marquis’s household. Even if she doesn’t contact you this year, you will certainly be fine, so…”
