Seeing her like this, Lei Ting couldn't help but feel some pity in his heart, but he was not good at comforting women. He couldn't help but think about how to comfort Ren Yaohua, so there was a brief silence between the two.
Instead, Ren Yaohua lowered his head slightly and spoke first: "Brother Lei, you just... do you think I acted sinisterly?"
Ren Yaohua was a person who couldn't tolerate any injustice in her heart and eyes. Although Lei Ting's words had eased much of her previous anxiety, she still wanted to know what he really thought of her. She herself hadn't noticed, and although she tried to keep her tone calm when she asked this question, her deliberately slowed breathing still revealed the uneasiness in her heart.
Lei Ting didn't respond immediately. He thought about it for a moment, and the first thing that came to his mind was that Ren Yaohua had changed the way he addressed him. When Ren Yaohua approached him earlier, her words and actions had conveyed a repulsive attitude, leaving Lei Ting feeling somewhat helpless.
"Are you trying to kill someone?" Lei Ting asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ren Yaohua was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "No..."
Lei Ting nodded and said lightly, "I didn't see any sinisterness there, but I'm glad you were more cautious this time. Fighting back while the situation is under control is not shameful." Lei Ting paused, then emphasized in an undeniable tone, "You're not wrong."
Ren Yaohua looked at Lei Ting, listening to his low, affirmative words. She felt a quiet slump in her heart. This feeling was quite unfamiliar, leaving her feeling a little sour and soft.
"If there is something you can't handle yourself in the future, send someone and tell me." Lei Ting thought for a moment and warned.
Ren Yaohua lowered her head and responded softly.
She had initially felt a bit uneasy about Lei Ting's sudden proposal to her family. Her discomfort wasn't due to anything else. She was simply worried that Lei Ting might be holding her in his arms when he rescued her, and that he was being forced to marry her out of concern for her reputation. Ren Yaohua had thought that when she saw Lei Ting again, she would ask him whether he was willing to marry her, or if he was being forced.
But now, Ren Yaohua suddenly felt relieved, and she no longer wanted to ask Lei Ting whether he was willing or not.
Lei Ting glanced behind Ren Yaohua and said, "It's getting late. If we don't go down, someone will come looking for us."
Ren Yaohua also glanced back and saw Xiangqin standing there, looking around, as if she had something to report. But it was difficult for her to come over. Ren Yaohua guessed that Ren Yaoying had already changed her clothes and come out.
She hadn't planned to stay here any longer, so she nodded and whispered, "I'm leaving." She looked up at Lei Ting, but for some reason, she couldn't move her feet.
"You go first." Lei Ting thought Ren Yaohua wanted him to leave first, so he spoke.
Ren Yaohua pursed her lips, and finally turned around and left.
Ren Yaoying had indeed changed and came out, and even the servants around her were brought in without exception. However, at this time, Ren Yaoying's face was as pale as paper and she looked very weak. Her eyes were still red and swollen, and she coughed from time to time, looking unprecedentedly miserable.
