"Who knows, he might not be coming tonight again?"
Shaking her head helplessly, Chang Yue sighed softly, "All the other maids are looking forward to Fourth Master's visit, but you, Princess, don't seem to care at all."
Hongli, who was walking to the door, happened to hear this sentence. He wanted to hear how Su Yushan would respond.
Su Yushan was about to tell him that she didn't care whether he came or not, but then she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door. The footsteps were steady and deliberate, unlike the gentle steps of a young lady. It couldn't be any other maid; it was very likely that Hongli had arrived!
In a flash, Su Yushan changed her mind and sighed sadly:
"It's not that I don't care, it's just that I'm worried that if I hold onto hope, and then Fourth Master doesn't come, I'll be disappointed again."
"In your eyes, am I really that untrustworthy?"
A clear voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, and Su Yushan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she noticed in time and didn't say anything wrong.
Having already guessed what was going on, she feigned surprise and turned around to look. She saw that the floral cotton curtain had been lifted, and Hongli's proud figure came into view. "Fourth Master? Why are you here so early?"
He walked slowly forward with his hands behind his back and sat down at the table next to her. "If I delay any longer, you might start to overthink things."

Chang Yue hoped that Su Gege would be favored, but Su Yushan was unwilling. After all, Hongli already had many women, so one more or one less wouldn't make a difference. Such a man was not worth her sincere feelings. She was always thinking about how to avoid him. However, tonight Hongli came to her room as promised, and she had no way out.
Since she had to survive in this strange world, Hongli was her only support at the moment. Knowing that this was an inevitable path, Su Yushan told herself not to be nervous or afraid, and to face it as usual.
However, the room was silent. Hongli did not utter a sound. Su Yushan looked up curiously and saw him sitting calmly by the tent, looking at her thoughtfully.
Su Yushan couldn't figure out his thoughts. Based on her previous experience, she tentatively asked, "Is Fourth Master waiting for me to help you undress?"
