Hongli believed that many things could change in this matter, and there was no need to think too far ahead. "Tomorrow's worries will come tomorrow; cherishing the people in front of you is the real thing," he said, ignoring her struggles and silencing her as she tried to continue the discussion.
"Focus your attention; the true essence of this place is to do more and talk less."
Su Yushan whimpered in protest, but her resistance was futile and only provoked him to bully her even more.
Knowing that saying anything was useless, she simply gave up struggling and let him lead her soul across the sea...
Just as Su Yushan had predicted, she was too weak to speak afterward and simply turned over and fell asleep.
When she woke up, Hongli had already entered the palace and was no longer in the tent. She carefully recalled what Hongli had said last night and suddenly realized that she had indeed been worrying unnecessarily. The most urgent thing was to confirm the thoughts of the two of them.
After making up her mind, Su Yushan got up to wash up and had breakfast. She gave Chang Yue a wink, and Chang Yue went out first, leaving only her and Yun Fang in the room.
"There are no outsiders here now, so you don't need to worry. Tell me, is it because you like Li Yu that you don't want him to acknowledge his family?"
"No, not at all! Please don't make fun of me, sister."
Yunfang denied it readily, but Su Yushan could easily see through it. Her face flushed red instantly, showing no anger, only girlish shyness.
This was the first time Su Yushan had ever seen Yunfang so girlish. Yesterday she had only guessed, but seeing it today, Su Yushan was certain. She laughed and coaxed:
"I'm not an outsider, why are you unwilling to tell me the truth? Liking someone is nothing shameful, you don't need to hide it."
Yunfang, caught off guard, nodded embarrassedly and sighed, "It is indeed for this reason, but he is determined to acknowledge our kinship, which shows that he only wants to be my brother and sister, and has no romantic feelings for me."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, Li Yu is different from ordinary people. Perhaps he's a bit slow on the ups and downs when it comes to romantic relationships and hasn't thought that far ahead. How about I help you find out what he's thinking?"
Su Yushan's well-intentioned offer of help startled Yun Fang, who quickly stopped her, saying, "Good sister, please don't tell him. If he doesn't mean it that way, wouldn't I be incredibly embarrassed?"
"Of course I won't say it directly. Leave this matter to me, you can rest assured." Su Yushan assured her repeatedly, and Yun Fang was finally relieved and agreed to let her probe Li Yu's thoughts.
When Hongli returned in the afternoon, Su Yushan told him about the matter, and Hongli frowned and sighed:
"I just guessed casually, but I didn't expect to actually be right! Tsk! Women's minds are indeed complicated! Fu Qing is truly in love with her, and she looks down on the second young master of the prestigious Fucha family, yet she falls for Li Yu. It's really strange!"
