Chapter Twenty-One: The Increasingly Childish Man



"If you have nothing else to do, please leave and don't come here again."

Seeing that Ru Chen was about to leave, I panicked and blurted out, "Ru Chen, you bastard, you have no conscience! I'm not going to serve you anymore!"

After saying that, I waited for him to come back and apologize to me.

But he walked further and further away and soon disappeared from sight.

What's wrong with this man? He's getting more and more childish. He's actually going to play dumb with me to the very end.

Looks like I'll have to keep pestering them. Pretending not to know them? I can do that too. Who's afraid of who?

When it comes to thick skin, I, Luo Qingyi, have never lost, hmph.

"Wait for me!" I gritted my teeth, stomped my foot, and rushed forward.

Unexpectedly, he ended up going to Liangrenju again. I knew it! How could Ji Ruchen be so heartless as to abandon me? He was putting on such a convincing act that I almost fell for it.

Seeing the reddish-brown horse in front of Liangrenju made me extremely happy, but my body was a little exhausted, and I was panting heavily.

"Long time no see, Hongxiao."

After greeting Hongxiao, I sat on the steps in front of Liangrenju and rested for a while before I could catch my breath.

After recovering, his stomach was growling with hunger, but no matter how long he waited, Ji Ruchen did not appear.

If you weren't just here for a short while, why didn't you bring your horse into the mansion, causing me to misunderstand and wait for so long?

Very well, I'll just lead the horse inside.

I led Ji Ruchen's red whistle to the front hall, but there was no one there, presumably because Steward Fei had already retired for the night.

After settling Hongxiao under a random tree, I went to Xichen Courtyard, where Ji Ruchen usually stayed. It seemed like no one had been there for a long time, as there were many things on the table.

He called him several times, but no one answered. Knowing that he was not there, he left.

As it grew darker and my stomach grew hungrier, I realized I would have to stay here for the rest of the day. But the place was so big and there wasn’t a soul in sight, which was rather eerie.

That Ji Ruchen is really going too far, you bastard.

Despite his anger, he still diligently searched all the places he frequented, but unfortunately, he still couldn't find him.

When I finally arrived, I was exhausted, hungry, and sleepy, so I went to the kitchen. Luckily, after searching for a while, I finally found two steamed buns and ate them with some cold water.

Actually, I still have some dry rations on me, but they're too hard, and I really don't want to eat them unless absolutely necessary.

After a hearty meal, I went back to my own courtyard to prepare for bed. Although the empty Liangrenju was gloomy and a bit scary, it didn't seem any better to be homeless.

As a person, you should be content with what you have and stay calm. You're just a person. Back in the day, I lived alone in Jingjia Village for three years. So what if the house was a bit big? It was fine.

I tried repeatedly to calm my nervousness and finally convinced myself to enter Wanxiang Pavilion.

Luckily, I found the tinderbox that Uncle Fei had left over in the kitchen. I fumbled around and finally found the candlestick. After lighting the lamp, I breathed a sigh of relief. This empty and dark room was really giving me the creeps.

For the first time, I felt that Liangrenju was really too big.

After Ji Ruchen and I get married, we definitely won't live in Liangrenju anymore. I've heard that Sanpingfang in the city is nice, so we'll live there from now on. In the future, I'll give him another son and a daughter, and the whole family will be happy and lively. How wonderful that would be.

"Why are you so persistent? Why did you follow me all the way here? Aren't you afraid of angering me and making you disappear from this world?"

I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even notice there was someone else in the room.
