Chapter 369 - Haohao is the only reason 2 (2/2)
---
It was simple enough to pack away her things. After stuffing her original clothes into a bag, Ji Man swept her gaze over the room. Her gaze landed on a small bag that was on the table.
She froze for a moment before looking away. Putting the bundle over shoulder, she strode out of the room.
The estate was very quiet. She had only taken a few steps when her pace slowed.
She went back into the room and stuffed the small bag into her bundle. After that, she walked out of the estate without looking back.

Ji Man's rice business had been going smoothly under Yan Buba's management. She used the extra money she had to purchase a home near one of her stores. After that, she went over to Zhu Residence to visit Zhu Yurun.
After learning that Haohao had been taken into the palace, Zhu Yurun, who was currently recovering from her miscarriage, sighed regretfully and said, ”Does that mean you won't be able to see Haohao anymore?”
Ji Man pursed her lips and nodded. Her eyes were quite red.
”Ah, don't be so upset,” Zhu Yurun hurriedly said, ”I'll tell my dad to go check on the marquis's heir to see if he's doing well whenever he gets the chance to enter the palace.”
Ji Man wouldn't cry in front of Ning Yuxuan, much less when she was in the marquis's estate. But now, seeing Zhu Yurun's pale face and plump figure, Ji Man couldn't stop herself from bawling.
Zhu Yurun frantically waved her hands in panic. She quickly told Zhuer to bring over a handkerchief and even shouted, ”Hurry, bring over a basin to hold the tears.”
She comfortingly patted Ji Man's back and murmured, ”You look like a woman when you're crying like this. You have smooth hands like a woman too...”
Ji Man was grievously crying her heart out, so how could she pay attention to Zhu Yurun's nattering words? Her days were so difficult. Before, she could continue to bear with everything because she had Haohao. But now, he was gone too. She didn't even know if Haohao would end up being mistreated inside the palace. Ning Yuxuan could probably frequently enter the palace to see Haohao, but it would be difficult for her to see Haohao again...
Nie Sangyu, come out. Let's talk. Could you please let me go back? She had just wanted to read a book. She didn't want to be dragged into the story and be devastated with these emotions.
Someone sighed, but the sound was so weak that it couldn't be heard.
A man had been walking over here from the entrance of the courtyard. Hearing the sound of weeping, he furrowed his brow and picked up his pace. He walked past the doorway and asked, ”Why are you crying?”
Ji Man felt that she had cried enough. She rubbed her eyes and turned her head to look.
Qian Yingchen was standing by the doorway with a serious expression. When their eyes met, the person on the other side was clearly stunned for a moment. He awkwardly turned his head away and said, ”Sorry, this one must have misheard.”
