Chapter 94: Shameless (2/2)

After hearing the explanation from Hong Ye, Sang Wan did not dare to return slowly. She quickly gave her instructions to Nanny Li before hurrying back. On the way back, she thought to herself, Don’t tell me that Gu Fangzi complained to him about me? Then so be it. After all, I’ve done nothing wrong, and there’s nothing to hide! Whatever he asks, I’ll just answer honestly.

Shi Fengju was by himself in the partitioned room. The atmosphere was extremely heavy, and the servants did not dare to go in to serve him. Every one of them stuck their neck out, gazing at the gate entrance occasionally.

When Sang Wan returned, the crowd finally heaved a sigh of relief.

After being sure that Shi Fengju was inside, Sang Wan took a deep breath in before entering.

Before she could speak, she heard Shi Fengju snapping from the other side, “Go away! Where’s Ma’am? She isn’t back yet?”

It seems he really is furious! Sang Wan’s heart could not help but groan, and she was secretly amazed at Gu Fangzi. Just what did she complain this time around that seemed so effective!

“Sir, it’s me!” Sang Wan said gently before walking up to him, “Is there something?”

“…” Shi Fengju was startled, and his dark expression seemed to have relaxed a little. He quickly stood up and apologized with a smile, “You’re back. Sorry, I didn’t know it was you!”

“En?” Sang Wan was slightly surprised, and she blinked a few times before shaking her head. “It’s alright! What did Sir call me for so anxiously—”

“Nothing!” Shi Fengju smiled. “I just wanted to—” He wanted to say “I just wanted to see you,” but he knew it would surely sound weird, so he quickly changed his words, “I just wanted to ask, en, have you and Big Sis settled on a date to have crabs? That way, I can have the servants prepare in advance.”

“…” Sang Wan was utterly speechless. His entire face was dark, and he was roaring at the servants, all just for this?

“There really isn’t anything else! I just wanted to ask about it.” Shi Fengju forced a smile. Even he himself could feel that he was acting weird. But after leaving Peony Park, he just wanted to see her, eagerly and anxiously! He almost felt as if the moment he saw her, the waves in his heart would finally calm down.

Those words sounded outrageous, and Sang Wan found them hard to believe. However, since he wasn’t going to tell her, then she would not let her curiosity get the better of her. If he doesn’t want to say anything, then it was for the best!

“Not yet!”Sang Wan smiled. “I’ll ask Mother and Sister-in-law today. Once we’ve settled for a date, I’ll tell you.”

“En, okay!” Seeing that she so easily believed him without asking any further, his heart was somewhat disappointed. For a moment, he was unsure of what to say. All he felt was a sense of depression! Having lived this long, this was the first time he had ever felt so!

“Sir, your complexion doesn’t seem too good. Is something the matter?” Sang Wan finally asked out of duty.

Shi Fengju finally relaxed and shook his head. “Nothing much, just that my heart doesn’t feel too well. Will you accompany me out for a stroll?”

Sang Wan was taken aback. After some thought, she said, “Your sister just happened to send a servant to inform me that she would want some bonsai in her yard. I don’t really know about these things, so why don’t you come with me to pick some?”

Shi Fengju chuckled and joked, “You don’t know? You’re an elegant person, are you sure you don’t know!”

Sang Wan became annoyed at him for laughing. “Hey! Don’t make fun of me, I’m the most inelegant one. The real elegant person lives in Banana Courtyard!”

[TL: This is the joke, they’re making fun of someone]

The two looked at each other, and they laughed.

But that made Sang Wan slightly remorseful for being careless. In Banana Courtyard not only lived Big Brother-in-law but also Big Sister, and they were their seniors. What they said was slightly overboard, and Sang Wan quickly stopped herself from laughing. “So, will you come along? If you won’t, then I’ll go by myself!”

“I’ll go, I’ll go!” It was rare for her to invite him. Even if she was doing so reluctantly, it was a chance for him to be with her, so there was no way he would refuse!

Shortly after the two left the small garden, they saw Nanny Li rushing back. She reported that the things instructed to her had been sent to Banana Courtyard before taking a good look at Shi Fengju’s expression. Seeing that nothing seemed amiss, she was finally at ease, and she smiled as she followed them.

Sang Wan and Shi Fengju then went to Songfeng Garden, where the bonsais were made especially from Fuzhong. They picked five and ordered a servant to send those to Banana Garden.

Shi Yumei heard that the bonsais were picked by her own young brother, and she became speechless. She couldn’t help but mutter under her breath, That Sang lass really is capable. For a matter this minor, she even dragged my brother along! But on second thought, it also means that my brother cares a lot for her, does it not? At this moment, Shi Yumei was unsure whether to be happy for frustrated.

The next morning, Shi Yumei went to Peony Park to see Gu Fangzi. “Yesterday, did Shi Fengju come and see you?” Shi Yumei asked.

Gu Fangzi’s body stiffened slightly, but she smiled shyly. “En.” She nodded gently and said, “Big Cousin accompanied me for a while, but because of my current state, I couldn’t make him stay for long, so I let him go first!”

Hearing those words, Shi Yumei smiled heartily before pinching Gu Fangzi’s cheek. “See, didn’t I tell you? Shi Fengju still cares a lot about you, but he’s only just been busy!”

“Of course, I understand!” Gu Fangzi smiled with a nod.
