Chapter 80
The moonlight is bright tonight, but Yunxi, standing there, seems to shine even brighter than the moon in the sky.
The two left Liuyun Garden together and strolled around the backyard. Yunxi always lagged half a step behind him and never overstepped the bounds.
"Did you like the things Jingyuan brought back?"
Yunxi nodded and gave a soft "Mmm".
The two strolled around in silence.
Even without saying anything, just walking together like this, Shen Rang felt much more relaxed.
"If you're free tomorrow, come and walk with me again," Shen Rang said.
However, Yunxi remained silent for a long time.
Shen Rang turned to look at her: "Is there something you're worried about?"
Yunxi shook her head, her expression turning somewhat strange: "Young Master, what are we doing now? I feel something's off."
I didn't realize it before, but now it's dark, dark, and I have to avoid being seen...
Shen Rang's expression also became somewhat strange.
This is in...
Shen Rang pursed his lips: "I'm sorry to have wronged you."
That matter couldn't be made public. He wanted Chen Xi to be his legitimate wife, but he had no legitimate reason to do so.
Yunxi lowered her head, hiding the joy in her eyes: "I don't feel wronged. I'm very happy to be by the Crown Prince's side."
Although there were some twists and turns, things generally went in the direction she expected, so how could she not be happy?
But Chen Rang didn't know what she was thinking and thought she was just putting on a brave face, so he felt even more sorry for her.
Back at Liuyun Garden, with parting imminent, Yunxi spoke first: "Young Master, when...when will you take me out to see Brother Huaichuan?"
She still keeps thinking about it.
Upon hearing the word "Brother Huaichuan," Chen Rang's eyes darkened slightly: "If you recover, what about the day after tomorrow?"
Yunxi twirled her fingers: "Actually, it's not very convenient for me to go out by myself. If the young master comes with me, it would be even worse if we were seen on the street. If the young master really wants to make up for it, why don't you stay by the young mistress's side the day after tomorrow and make sure she doesn't notice anything amiss? Is that alright?"
After saying that, Yunxi cautiously looked up at Chen Rang.
She wanted to see Duan Huaichuan because there were still many things she hadn't asked.
She wanted to know more about the Chen couple's recent situation.
Moreover, with Shen Rang around, there are some emotions she can't release.
When he met her gaze, Shen Rang frowned.
Yunxi is right.
His staying by Yun Wan's side to help and support her is truly what's best for Yun Xi.
But the thought of Yunxi being alone with another man left him with mixed feelings.
The soreness and swelling made it difficult for him to even breathe.
After much internal struggle, Shen Rang finally spoke: "What is your opinion of Duan Huaichuan?"
"...What do you mean?" Yunxi was genuinely puzzled.
Shen Rang's chest heaved violently before he heard him lower his voice and ask, "Is there... any romantic feeling between a man and a woman?"
Yunxi's eyes widened immediately, as if she had seen a ghost: "Your Highness, what are you saying? I grew up with Brother Huaichuan, I consider him my brother!"
After speaking, Yunxi belatedly realized that she had spoken too loudly, and hurriedly covered her mouth, revealing only a pair of shocked eyes.
Shen Rang seemed relieved, and his tone returned to its usual calm: "Just asking casually."
Yunxi lowered her hand: "Then the day after tomorrow..."
"Don't worry," Shen Rang said, "the young mistress won't notice anything."
Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
