After having dinner with the princess, Li Xingyun remained silent and spoke coldly to her. The group lost interest in continuing their stroll and returned to the villa. Mao Rong was already waiting at the door, wagging its tail happily when it saw them return. Tangyuan fed Mao Rong the packaged meat. Li Xingyun refused help and went back to his room. Tian Yu was worried but didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only watch as Li Xingyun locked himself in his room. Tangyuan, holding Tian Yu's hand, said, "Mother, it seems Uncle is sad."
"Yes! Even Mother can't help someone heartbroken over love."
"Who is heartbroken?" Zhao Moyan asked, standing behind Tian Yu and the others.
Tian Yu and Tang Yuan turned around when they heard the voice. Tang Yuan called out happily, "Daddy!"
Tian Yu looked terrified and immediately turned around, not daring to look at Zhao Moyan. Zhao Moyan squatted down and handed the snacks he had bought to Tangyuan. Tangyuan happily took them and said with a smile, "Thank you, Daddy. It's Uncle who is sad."
"Li Xingyun!? What's wrong?"
So Tangyuan gave a detailed account of what happened when she went out that morning. Tianyu nodded with satisfaction, saying that she hadn't missed anything and that she had explained it very well.
"Oh, I see. It's alright, Uncle. This is an old injury; it'll be fine in a couple of days," Zhao Moyan said, patting Tangyuan's head.
Fortunately, the clothes Tian Yu bought arrived at that moment. Tian Yu made a few excuses and quickly took Green Willow to pack the clothes before hurriedly running away. Green Willow caught up with Tian Yu as she ran away and asked with a smile, "Madam, why are you running? The Marquis won't eat you."
"What do you know? I just wanted to check on the clothes we bought today."
"Really? Then why did you see the Marquis looking so panicked? Didn't the Marquis just leave this morning? Did the Madam upset the Marquis again last night?!"
"No, go and pack your clothes quickly."
"Understood! I'll go right away, Madam, please don't rush me."
Tian Yu returned to her courtyard, sat down to drink some tea, still shaken. Qiu Ju was still checking their expenses during this period, while Lü Liu was busy sorting the clothes that had been delivered and sending them to their respective rooms.
Tian Yu calmed down and leisurely watched the two of them. Suddenly, the light from outside the door was blocked by something. Tian Yu took a sip of tea and saw Zhao Moyan standing at the door. She almost choked and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Where's Tangyuan?"
"Being with Xuan Yu."
"That's perfect. Have Green Willow and the others packed their clothes?"
"Alright, Madam, these are for the young master, and these are for Xuanyu."
"Okay, give it to me, I'll take it over." Tian Yu stood up and tried to take the clothes from Lv Liu's hands.
Green Willow glanced at the Marquis and hesitated before saying, "Madam, perhaps I should deliver it myself!"
"Then I'll go with you."
Green Willow looked at Autumn Chrysanthemum not far away with a troubled expression. Autumn Chrysanthemum walked over and said, "Madam, let Green Willow and I deliver it. I've almost finished checking the bill, and I'll give it to you later."
Before Tian Yu could speak, the two hurriedly left with their clothes in their arms. Tian Yu awkwardly withdrew her outstretched hand, turned around, and smiled at Zhao Moyan, saying, "Is there something you need, Lord Marquis?"
"These are honey fruits from the west of the city." After saying this, Zhao Moyan put the things in his hand on the table, sat down, picked up the tea that Tian Yu had just been drinking, and took a sip.
Tian Yu wanted to remind him, but seeing Zhao Moyan's expression, she could only say, "I'll brew you another pot."
"No need! Sit down." Zhao Moyan patted the stool next to him and said.
"Okay!" Tian Yu reluctantly sat down on the stool next to Zhao Moyan, and moved to the side as far away from him as possible.
Zhao Moyan put down his teacup, turned around, grabbed the stool and dragged Tian Yu, along with the stool, between his legs. Tian Yu was startled. Being so close, with the stool held in place by Zhao Moyan's legs, Tian Yu had nowhere to retreat and could only face Zhao Moyan.
"Why are you running away? What have you done to offend me this time?"
No! Absolutely not!
"Then why are you avoiding me?"
Seeing Zhao Moyan's expression, Tian Yu seemed to be in a good mood, and she relaxed a bit. She carefully asked, "Last night, I drank too much, but I didn't do anything too outrageous, did I?"
"What do you think?!" Zhao Moyan said, recalling how they had been kissing so well last night, and she had actually fallen asleep. Just thinking about it almost made him furious again, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only carry her back to the room to sleep.
"I don't think so, I can't quite remember."
"I can't remember!" Zhao Moyan said through gritted teeth, adding in his mind, "You were asleep, how could you possibly remember?"
"No, it's just that I was too tired and fell asleep. You know I got up very early yesterday to prepare those things, and I also drank some alcohol, so I was a little drowsy."
"Would you like me to help you think back?"
"No need! No need!" Tian Yu was startled by Zhao Moyan's sudden approach and quickly shook her head to refuse. When she saw him at the gate, she remembered that they had kissed last night. Although it wasn't the first time, she felt like she had been too forward! How embarrassing!
Zhao Moyan sat down somewhat dejectedly, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "Chen Chong's father has already ascended the throne."
"Huh!? Oh! So fast."
"He should be safe now."
"That's good"
"If there's anything else you want to know, you can ask me."
"No, I don't want to know anything."
"Tian Yu told me that you still have feelings for him, right?"
It's not what you think.
"Then why do you always avoid me?"
"No, I'm just a little scared."
"Scared!? Scared of me?!"
"No, it's just that I don't know how to explain it. It's all too confusing. Can you let me think about it?" Tian Yuxin was very flustered. Having been single for so long, she was genuinely nervous about having to talk about love with an ancient person. She hadn't felt this way when she was with Chen Chong, but why did she get so excited when she saw Zhao Moyan?
