Cui... Cuihua?
Wang Zhi Ning's lips trembled slightly as she looked at him in disbelief.
Does he really think of her as a servant? Giving her such a vulgar name to humiliate her!
Just then, a "plop" sound came, and she subconsciously looked up and saw two figures standing outside the moon gate.
Shen Tangning stared at them with an ordinary expression, and her gaze met theirs without much emotional fluctuation.
Xue Qing was half-covering her lips, with a lingering smile in her eyes, looking at her with some pity.
Wang Zhineng looked embarrassed, pursed her lips and lowered her head, barely managing to suppress the emotions in her eyes.
Chi Yan also noticed Shen Tangning, and his expression became somewhat unnatural upon surprise. He subconsciously glanced at the distance between himself and Wang Zhining:
Fortunately, there's at least a three-meter gap between them, so it shouldn't cause any misunderstanding.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when annoyance flashed in his eyes. He was indeed not suited for this kind of thing; he felt guilty even before she had reacted!
Shen Tangning walked this way. She deliberately created a chance encounter with Madam Pei on the way, and the two chatted for a while before returning a little late.
"Young Madam," Wang Zhineng quickly composed herself and greeted her.
Shen Tangning nodded indifferently. Recalling the conversation she had just overheard, she glanced at Chi Yan. Seeing that he wasn't looking at her but instead looking elsewhere, she immediately lost interest in the conversation.
She was about to walk right past them when the latter glared at her and called out, "Wait, where did you go?"
Chi Yan had thought she would at least greet him, and he was even thinking of being reserved, but to his surprise, she simply ignored him, which left him at a loss and feeling a bit aggrieved.
Shen Tangning turned her head, her eyes showing some surprise, but she still answered in a good-natured manner, "I had nothing to do, so I went out for a stroll."
Chi Yan gave a dry "oh," but felt even more annoyed: the fact that she was in the mood to go shopping proved that she didn't take last night's little incident to heart at all!
She didn't even ask what time he came home last night. Shen Ci said her feelings were reserved, but this was way too reserved...
His heart sank. He hung his head and remained silent. Shen Tangning glanced at Wang Zhineng, who seemed lost in thought, and said slowly, "What are you doing standing here? Go back and eat."
He suddenly looked up, his dim eyes brightening instantly, and said with feigned composure, "Then let's go."
Watching the two figures leave, Wang Zhineng gritted her teeth inwardly.
She tried everything to seduce Chi Yan but he remained unmoved, while Shen Tangning only needed to beckon him and he would eagerly follow. Such a difference was simply too puzzling.
Isn't it said that men like novelty?
Even the most beautiful person will eventually become tiresome if you look at them every day. Moreover, Shen Tangning is clearly the kind of dignified and rigid noblewoman from a prestigious family. With such a dull and uninteresting personality, why would she lower herself to please her husband?
She believed she was no less beautiful than Shen Tangning, so why didn't Chi Yan even dare to look at her?
Frowning, Wang Zhi Ning forced herself to calm down.
Men, they all like to pretend to be serious. She didn't believe that Chi Yan could always be indifferent to her!
——
As night fell, Shen Tangning removed her hairpins and jewelry in front of the bronze mirror, her eyes somewhat unfocused.
Clearly, her mind was already elsewhere.
She wondered if she should ask Chi Yan directly for clarification. Constantly guessing was exhausting, but what if the answer she received was something she didn't want?
