Su Yan saw his dejected look.
It felt like something was tugging at my heart.
She opened her mouth
"I'm okay with you."
Ji Yu shook her head again.
Much later.
He lowered his brows and revealed a faint smile.
That smile contained a mix of emotions that made one feel heartbroken.
"The Marquis always likes to say things like this, making me lose sight of my place and do things that overstep my bounds."
Ji Yu paused, then her voice became even softer.
"I was fortunate enough to be redeemed by the Marquis, but in the end, I am just a minor official who is looked down upon by others."
"They were just people being played with at will."
Su Yan frowned even more.
How could you understand yourself like that?
Ji Yu raised her eyes, momentarily stunned.
Finally, his gaze fell on Su Yan, looking at her.
"That's what the Marquis thinks too."
First, he treated Ji Yu with utmost kindness and indulgence, which led Ji Yu to give his whole heart to the Marquis.
After that, he wouldn't care about Ji Yu anymore.
As she spoke, Ji Yu revealed a self-deprecating smile.
"As expected, I overestimated myself."
Her light blue robes fluttered in the wind, and her pale face was heartbreaking to see.
Su Yan held his hand, feeling a little flustered.
Because I have absolutely no idea why he would think that way.
"I truly love you, and I originally wanted to spend my whole life with you."
Su Yan could only express herself earnestly and clumsily.
Ji Yu lowered her head and didn't say a word.
Su Yan gripped his hand tightly.
"You, you have to believe me."
Perhaps it was because her voice was too sincere.
She gripped his hand tightly.
Ji Yu raised his head and gave a self-deprecating smile.
"Why do you need to say such deceitful things to me, my lord? From the day you bought me, I have never been able to leave."
So, there's no need to say those nice things anymore.
This worthless life belongs to the Marquis.
Even though Ji Yu didn't say what came next.
But Su Yan understood what he meant.
Su Yan frowned deeply.
How could he have changed so much in just one night?
"Did someone say something to you?"
Ji Yu shook her head.
Su Yan thought about it over and over, recalling what Lan Zhi had said.
Then he spoke.
"Yesterday at noon, you searched for me for a long time in the rain?"
Ji Yu lowered her head and smiled faintly.
"It was I who overstepped my bounds, fearing that Your Excellency would get wet in the rain."
But they forgot that this was the Marquis's house; how could he let himself get rained on in his own home?
Su Yan seemed to have vaguely grasped something.
"You waited for me to have dinner yesterday, both at noon and in the evening?"
Ji Yu lowered her head, her fingers gripping the guqin tightly.
His face, however, remained calm and composed.
"It is I who have overstepped my bounds."
Su Yan listened to his humble words, which were full of complaints about overstepping his bounds and being inappropriate.
I felt both depressed and upset.
Reach out, grab his collar forcefully, and pull him close to you.
The next second, they kissed.
Su Yan kissed him forcefully, and afterwards she was panting heavily.
“I don’t like the way you talk, I don’t like the distance between us, so you have to say it yourself.”
During the kiss, the guqin fell to the ground.
He stood between the two of them.
Su Yan wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice earnest.
You need to tell me the truth.
After a long while, Ji Yu put his hands, which were hanging down at his sides, into Su Yan's arms.
Very hard.
His lips brushed against Su Yan's ear, and he murmured...
"The Marquis did not come for a meal yesterday, nor did he come to rest at my place. Did he find me too cold, or bored and displeased?"
Su Yan heard a slight tremor in his voice.
