——
Chi Yan was somewhat absent-minded all day.
Although he understood the crux of the problem, he still couldn't come up with a suitable solution.
Should we simply kick that Wang out of the mansion?
Chi Yan is capable of doing such a thing. He has climbed to this position with great difficulty, so naturally he no longer needs to be mindful of the old lady's feelings or worry about offending anyone.
What if we solve the problem of the one surnamed Wang, but then the one surnamed Li comes tomorrow, and the one surnamed Zhang comes the day after? Shen Tangning accepts all comers.
Besides, he has a temper too!
Her decision to push him away so readily undoubtedly hurt his pride, and he naturally felt uncomfortable.
We need to find a way to make her see her own heart clearly and deeply realize her mistakes!
Even though he'd never eaten pork, he'd seen pigs run. Chi Yan recalled the melodramatic romance dramas he'd watched before, where the male and female leads would have all sorts of misunderstandings due to the intervention of outsiders, and then their feelings would quickly heat up after the misunderstandings were resolved. Suddenly, he had a preliminary idea...
He disdained to do something like getting close to other women to provoke Shen Tangning, but it should be feasible to make her see her own heart by appropriately using that Wang guy.
Since the other party had no good intentions in approaching him anyway, he figured he might as well treat it as a way to collect some interest from her.
...
After figuring things out, Chi Yan's steps home became much lighter.
As he passed by the servants in the mansion, he casually inquired, "Where is the young mistress?"
In his imagination, Shen Tangning must be just like him, tossing and turning, unable to sit still.
But the servant answered honestly, "The young mistress has gone out and hasn't returned yet."
Chi Yan's smile instantly froze: "Oh."
I'm going out...
And they still haven't returned by this hour!
It seems that not only was his mood unaffected, but he was actually quite happy, even somewhat reluctant to leave.
Young Master Chi couldn't manage a smile. With a gloomy face, he walked towards Ruyi Residence. Wang Zhi Ning just happened to appear on his inevitable path.
She curtsied, looking timid: "Young Master."
In the heat of the moment, Chi Yan nearly forgot his plan. He stopped abruptly, his face stiff as he looked over, his tone indifferent: "Is there something you need?"
Wang Zhi Ning bit her lip, lowered her head, revealing a section of her slender white neck: "I offended you during the banquet last night, and I've come to apologize to you."
He was still lost in thought, staring at his shadow on the ground, thinking sullenly:
Why hasn't she come back by this hour?
Doesn't she know how dangerous it is outside? Hmm, could she have gone back to her parents' house in a fit of anger?
Shouldn't he be the one who's angry?
Upon hearing the familiar address, he instinctively looked up and stared straight at it.
Wang Zhi Ning blushed slightly under his gaze: "Young Master?"
Chi Yan frowned slightly: "What did you say your name was?"
“A-Ning…”
"This name doesn't suit you." He pursed his lips, his expression somewhat cold.
Wang Zhi Ning was completely bewildered: "Then, in your opinion, young master..."
Feeling annoyed, Chi Yan casually suggested, "How about calling her Cuihua?"
