44 Secretly Watching (1/2)

”Young master.” Ru An silently looked on.

”Hm”

”Did you meet... Ruan Wang?” She wanted to use a word that was more intimate, but in the end, she decided that it was not her place to do so.

The house stayed silent. She could tell that the young master had no intention of saying anything. But her question had already been answered by this silence.

She had also wanted to say that there would never be a time he would sit in an isolated place and drink just to have a drink. He would usually have a drink with company, or just to get in the mood.

The silence between them did not last very long as Lin Qinghui asked ”Where did Miss Yun go.” though it was quite disrespectful to call Feng Yun a 'miss' considering how she had watched him grow up and how his mother treated her as a close sister, he could never bring it to himself to call her by aunt.

”Lady Feng Yun went to deal with some business, who knows how long it may take, it is a task that Madam put her up to, I think she should get a break after so long.”

”En.” Lin Qinghui seemed to have agreed and understood how things were going and decided to put his head down on the wooden table, quietly closing his eyes, prepared to doze off for a bit.

Ru An was quite surprised to see that the young master had been prepared to fall asleep here. In the usual flow of things, he could never fall asleep so abruptly. Perhaps today's events had really worn him down so.

She also placed her head down and looked across to Lin Qinghui's serene face that was peaceful sleeping.

She had a slightly shy expression as she was prepared to reach out her hand to touch his face. As her hand was nearing, she suddenly paused in midair as her face changed into a shade of red. Within the dark lighting that only glowed by the breath of candles, it was hard to tell, but not impossible.

She felt her heart beating faster at the thoughts that bombard her mind. There was no way of slowing them down.

Just, how could she ever think of touching the young master who stood so lofty above all?

Perhaps he had never noticed such an insignificant person like her. Or he had just picked her up all those years ago to merit a good deed to build good karma.

Right, he was a person who loved to travel within the borders of different kingdoms, and he would do good deeds to offset the murderous trail that was behind him. It was strange as he had never held onto any true beliefs, and would do as he wished.
