Shen Yuhan looked at the lychee in her hand, but his expression did not fluctuate at all, and he still looked cold.
He turned slightly to avoid the fruit she offered him, his voice devoid of emotion: "No need, I don't like it."
Liu Yunyun's hand froze in mid-air, and the expectation in her eyes instantly turned into disappointment.
She quietly withdrew her hand, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, and continued to smile apologetically: "That's okay, I also brought some other fruits, all very fresh."
"I know you don't like sweet things, so I picked some refreshing pears and some of the sour fruits you mentioned before."
Shen Yuhan remained unmoved, not even looking up, but whispered, "Keep these for yourself. I don't need them."
Liu Yunyun's heart felt like it was cut by a knife.
She could almost feel her heart slowly sinking.
From a hopeful smile to tears in the corners of her eyes, she tried hard to suppress her emotions, not wanting to appear so vulnerable in front of Shen Yuhan.
She put down the plate, her voice becoming a little hoarse: "Yuhan, I know you are in a bad mood. What happened in the court this morning..."
"I really understand your difficulties. But you have to eat something instead of just being angry."
She tried to lighten the mood and continued, "We can have some fruit together. I'll keep you company."
Shen Yuhan finally raised his eyes, but his gaze was cold.
It was as if she was standing in front of him, just a shadow, with no sense of existence.
He said calmly: "Liu Yunyun, I have made it very clear."
"I don't need anything from the court or anything you send me."
Liu Yunyun could no longer hold back her tears, which quietly slid down. She looked at Shen Yuhan's indifferent expression, and her heart couldn't help feeling desolate.
She clenched her teeth, her voice choked with suppressed sobs: "Yuhan, do you really not care about me at all? We are engaged!"
"Don't you even have the mind to look at me?"
Shen Yuhan's eyes didn't waver at all. He said calmly, "Liu Yunyun, I never promised you anything."
"The engagement was arranged by the Emperor. I had no choice. But my feelings have nothing to do with you."
Liu Yunyun's heart seemed to be shattered. She could no longer suppress her emotions and tears burst out like a flood.
She choked and said, "Shen Yuhan, you are so cruel..."
She turned and ran out of the study, leaving Shen Yuhan still sitting there.
His expression did not change, as if the scene just now had never happened.
Liu Yunyun ran out of the study angrily, tears still streaming down her face, eyes full of resentment.
She couldn't help but look back at the tightly closed study door, her heart filled with sadness.
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the front.
Liu Yunyun raised her tearful eyes and saw Fang Qingyue with a bulging belly, supported by Fang Chiyue, walking slowly out.
Fang Qingyue's face was calm and her eyes were peaceful, as if all the disputes in the world had nothing to do with her.
But this scene hurt Liu Yunyun's eyes.
She looked at Fang Qingyue's bulging belly, and the jealousy in her heart was like a poisonous snake, tightly entwining her heart.
Not only did this woman not die, she was pregnant with Shen Yuhan's child!
During the days when she disappeared in the capital, she was safe and sound under Shen Yuhan's protection, and even lived such a decent life.
The flames of jealousy instantly made Liu Yunyun lose all her sanity.
She took a few steps forward, blocking Fang Qingyue's way, and said in a sharp voice: "Fang Qingyue! You are so shameless! How dare you show up here!"
"The child in your belly is nothing but a dishonorable bastard!"
Fang Qingyue raised her eyes and glanced at her, her eyes were extremely cold, as if she saw through everything.
She gently stroked her abdomen, not rushing to respond.
Instead, he glanced at Liu Yunyun calmly, as if he was examining an insignificant matter.
Seeing Fang Qingyue didn't respond, Liu Yunyun became even more angry and continued to speak harshly, "Don't you see what your status is? Now you are just a concubine of Shen Yuhan!"
"How dare you dream of gaining even a hint of his favor? Do you dare to compete with my Liu family?"
Fang Qingyue slowly raised her eyes and glanced coldly at Liu Yunyun.
With a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, his voice was soft but powerful: "Miss Liu, I don't want to argue with you, nor am I interested in listening to your unreasonable behavior."
"I advise you to put away this useless jealousy and avoid bringing shame upon yourself."
Liu Yunyun was irritated by her cold tone.
It was as if someone had sprinkled a handful of salt on her heart, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Fang Qingyue, don't be so complacent!"
"You are nothing but a spoiled bitch now. Shen Yuhan's wish to marry you as a concubine is simply wishful thinking!"
Fang Qingyue smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
She took a step forward, her demeanor dignified: "Liu Yunyun, you know in your heart that no matter who I am, Shen Yuhan's heart is not with you."
"No matter how much you make a fuss, you can't change this fact."
"Instead of being unreasonable with me, why don't you go back and ask yourself, how can you possibly get even a shred of his sincerity?"
Liu Yunyun was stunned by her words, her face flushed instantly, her fists clenched, and she was almost shaking with anger.
But she knew that Fang Qingyue was right, Shen Yuhan had never had any real feelings for her.
Even if she tried her best, she still couldn't get a glance from him.
Liu Yunyun glared at Fang Qingyue fiercely, suppressed her anger and turned away.
