"Cui Lian, is Mr. Zhang here? Tell him to wait downstairs. I will go see him after I shower and change my clothes."
Wang Xiucai was holding back his anger, and he didn't expect to break into the woman's boudoir. Just as he was about to open the door and leave, he heard the woman's voice again, "I've run out of Baicao Cream, go get the bottle on the table."
"………" Mr. Wang was anxious and confused, his steps became heavy, and the woman bathing behind the screen seemed a little impatient, "Cui Lian, what's wrong with you? Isn't it on the table? Hurry and bring it over, I need it."
"Yes." Mr. Wang had no choice but to pinch his throat and say "yes" through his nose. Ji Ruyan, who was taking a bath, heard the voice sound a little strange and reached out to take the bottle of Baicao Frost.
"Cui Lian, please help me apply it. Just apply it on my back as usual." Ji Ruyan suddenly felt too lazy to move. She lay on the bathtub waiting for Cui Lian to apply the Baicao Cream to her. Wang Xiucai's hands were shaking so badly that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. The woman's urging voice rang again. Wang Xiucai, who was standing behind the screen, bit his lips with difficulty, put the Baicao Cream directly on the ground, and ran out.
Cui Lian just entered the room and saw a sneaky man walking into Sister Ruyan's room. She was so shocked that she quickly strode in, "Sister Ruyan, are you okay?" Ji Ruyan was almost asleep, and she opened her eyes dazedly, "I'm fine, didn't I ask you to help me apply the Baicao Cream? Why did you take so long?"
"Ah! Sister Ruyan, I just saw a man sneaking out of your room. I thought it was Master Zhang."
"What!" Ji Ruyan was so scared that she quickly stood up from the bathtub. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be Zhang Mo. If it was him, he would have rushed forward impatiently. The man must have entered this place by mistake and should not have any bad intentions.
Thinking of this, she heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly put on her clothes. Cui Lian dressed her up, applied rouge, touched her delicate skin, and said, "Sister Ruyan, Cui Lian really envies you. I wonder when I can sit on the top position like you."
After hearing Cui Lian's words, Ji Ruyan's mouth corners slowly flattened, turned her head and looked at her and said: "Cui Lian, why do you think so? If possible, I hope you can meet a man who knows you and loves you, and then he redeems you, and the two of you live a peaceful and happy life. How great is that, this kind of relationship is what many people wish for."
"But I think Sister Ruyan, you have a very glorious life. Every day, so many young men spend a lot of money to see you, and they even spend all their wealth to listen to you play a song of Jiangnan. You are so eye-catching and you are the center of attention. Who wouldn't want to sit in your position?" Cui Lian said it hastily. There are many women who want to take her place, but unfortunately...
"That's enough, Cui Lian, you go out first. I want to be alone." Ji Ruyan didn't want to hear her talk anymore. Cui Lian and she were not from the same world at all. There was no point in saying more. It would be better to let her calm down.
She had on delicate and charming makeup, and was going to be taken away by Zhang Mo tonight, but she still wanted to know who wrote the poem "Sending Off Spring Willow". However, she had asked people to inquire about it for several years but there was no news. Some shameless people even pretended to be the author of "Sending Off Spring Willow" and added to the story at will.
"Are you and I destined not to be together?" Ji Ruyan looked at herself in the mirror in despair. Although her face seemed intact, it had actually been broken long ago. Her heart had also died completely on that night three years ago.
At this time, Rong Zhen walked in by accident. Seeing Ruyan, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Have you seen the girl who came that day and talked to you?"
Ji Ruyan looked at the young man in front of her in surprise. She had never asked his name until now, but seeing that he was in such a hurry, she thought he must be looking for someone. "I didn't see her, and she didn't seem to be here either. What happened? Did she leave without saying goodbye?"
"No, she was supposed to buy some ingredients for Yuanxiao today, but she hasn't returned yet. I thought she would come here, and I looked for her for a while, but no one said they had seen her. So I'm sorry to ask that..." Rong Zhen hung his head in frustration, not knowing whether Gu Yunru was safe now.
"Don't worry, sir. She will definitely return safely."
"Thank you very much."
At this time, Wang Xiucai passed by the door and saw Rong Zhen in the girl's room. He mistakenly thought that the two were old lovers, and immediately covered his eyes, "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything!" Rong Zhen walked up with a dark face and patted his arm, "There is nothing between me and this girl. I was asking her about Yunru's whereabouts. Since she is not here, let's go back and check. Maybe she has gone back now."
Mr. Wang nodded, and Ji Ruyan left without even looking at him.
At this moment, Ji Ruyan was in a complicated mood. This young man did not even look at her with lingering eyes. One must know that in any other occasion, no young man would be so indifferent to her. Unless that man was a homosexual, it would be impossible for him not to linger on and indulge in her beauty.
Rong Zhen was about to leave Wanhua Tower with Wang Xiucai, but he saw several sedan chairs stopped at the door. They pulled him behind a pillar to observe every move on the opposite side.
It turned out that Zhang Mo came to pick someone up, and there were a few festive sedans. Those who didn't know would think that they were here to welcome the bride. At the same time, Ji Heng's sedan also stopped, and a man in formal attire walked down. The whole place was silent, and everyone was probably intoxicated by Ji Heng's peerless appearance.

"This young man is so handsome. How come I have never seen you before?" A seductively dressed woman walked up to Ji Heng and flirted with him, but she didn't expect the man to be so cold and didn't even look at her. He just brushed her away with his hand as if she were an object.
"I have long heard of Miss Ruyan from Wanhua Tower, and I want to bring her back to my house for a chat. If possible, I would like to redeem her." Zhang Mo, who was about to take Ruyan away, was unhappy when he heard Ji Heng say this. He walked forward and glared at him fiercely, saying, "Where did you come from! I tell you. Ruyan is already the woman I have reserved. If you want to take Ruyan away, you have to ask my opinion!"
"Hey, what are you arguing about? Mr. Zhang, calm down. This young man looks very impressive. I guess his family must be rich or noble!" Mama-san walked in front of Ji Heng with sparks in her eyes.
