Chapter 81
With Chen Rang's words, Yunxi felt relieved.
The following day, Chen let him rest and stayed at home as expected.
Yun Wan was very proud: "I knew the young master would stay and keep me company."
It was worth it for her to go to the gate of the mansion to pick up Shen Rang every day these past few days. Now that Shen Rang has a place for her in his heart, he really is staying at home with her!
It seems she'll have to work even harder in the future!
Shen Rang lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Yunxi got up early and heard that Shen Rang had stayed at home today, so she quietly went out and went to Chengfeng Inn.
When Yunxi saw Duan Huaichuan again, she was startled.
For some reason, Duan Huaichuan looked tired and even haggard, not as well as when he first came to the capital.
She went into the room, casually put her veil aside, and asked curiously, "Brother Huaichuan, what's wrong with you?"
Duan Huaichuan sighed heavily: "Since I came to the capital, countless people have come to see me every day, and they all have powerful backgrounds. I have to be on my guard to deal with them."
People came in waves, some were servants on behalf of their masters, and some were masters themselves. They were all showing concern and drinking and chatting. He rarely had a chance to rest from morning till night, and the longer he stayed, the more tired he became.
"Ah..." Yunxi opened her mouth, "Didn't I give you silver notes before? Why don't you use them? Let's go to a nicer inn?"
“Since they know I’m coming, it doesn’t matter where they go.” Duan Huaichuan reached out and poured her a cup of tea.
Yunxi took the teacup and sipped a few mouthfuls before inquiring about the current situation of the Chen couple.
"The teacher sent a letter a couple of days ago, saying that the private school is now overcrowded, and many people have even come from other places to become his students. The village is planning to help the teacher expand the scale of the private school. He must be very busy these days."
"I see..." Yunxi cupped her face in her hands, her eyes and brows full of genuine smiles. "Expanding the private school... my parents will be very busy then."
Duan Huaichuan's gaze fell on her, his light brown eyes gleaming with a soft, amber light: "How are you doing at home?"
Yunxi nodded: "Okay, I'm out again now."
Duan Huaichuan nodded as well.
Yunxi kept pestering him to tell her about his family, so Duan Huaichuan told her about all the big and small things that had happened in the Chen family since she left. His voice became slightly hoarse, but he showed no impatience whatsoever.
Later, Yunxi had a change of heart and, seeing that it was getting late, took him to another famously expensive restaurant in the capital.
A table was laden with delicacies more exquisite than any painting, and Yunxi ate with great relish, while Duan Huaichuan ate with his usual gentle and refined manner.
After finishing her meal, Yunxi, being more shrewd, put on her veil before leaving the room.
As soon as they turned the corner, they saw a group of elegantly dressed ladies walking towards them.
The woman surrounded by a crowd was none other than Madam Yun.
Madam Yun noticed her gaze and looked over. Through the veil, Madam Yun naturally did not recognize Yun Xi and simply thought she was a strange person.
The mother and daughter passed each other without stopping.
After leaving the restaurant, Yunxi said, "Brother Huaichuan, you should go back and rest. I'm going back too."
"I send you."
"...No need."
Yunxi wasn't going back to the Yun family; she didn't want Duan Huaichuan to know about that matter either.
Seeing this, Duan Huaichuan also recalled his experience at the Yun family that day, and said, "Alright, then you, a young lady, should be extra careful on your way back."
