He didn't bother the others at all. Even though it was just a common household dish, she was still enjoying it. It had been a long time since he had a peaceful meal, and his years of hiding and probing from all directions had left her physically and mentally exhausted.
After happily finishing her lunch, Shen Ruobai pulled out a small wooden box from nowhere. The small wooden box was only the size of a palm and had a faint fragrance of sandalwood.
Shen Ruobai gently opened it. Between them was a soft red flannelette, and in the center was a fingernail-sized white jade peony tied with a red string. The carving was exquisite and lifelike.
”Thank you,” she said, almost choking on her sobs.
It was the only relic left of his mother, lost in the chaos of that night. Who would have thought that it would return to her hands today.
He personally helped her put it on, and Shen Ruobai looked at her gently, ”Then how about giving up your life for me?”
An Ruo's heart skipped a beat and she stiffly avoided Shen Ruo Bai's intimacy. She calmly took a step forward, but Shen Ruobai refused to press closer to her as she intended. His bright eyes never left An Ruo Su's slightly flustered expression.
An Ruo Su only felt that she was gently wrapped up by a pool of pure water. It was so tight that it was difficult to break free.
She turned around in panic, unable to bear to see his disappointed expression. ”Stop joking.”
”Shen Ruo Bai sighed softly, he knew she would do this.” I'll send you back! ”
When would she really let it go? Her obsession was too deep. Sooner or later, she would hurt herself. He did not want her to do something she could not regret!
It was needless to say that Ye Feihan was the mastermind behind all of the tragedy that was caused to the family. However, it was not worth it to throw himself into the fray for the sake of his enemies.
There were countless ways to seek revenge in this world. Why did he have to choose the most miserable one?
Standing at the door and watching Shen Ruobai leave, she felt a little disappointed and frustrated. She owed him too much in this life, so much that she couldn't even remember what she owed him in the next life. She did not want to let him give up without regard for the rewards. In the end, she would let him down in this life.
Her slender white fingers paused on the rotten wood of the door, and she didn't speak for a long time in the direction that Shen Ruobai had left in.
”Ruo Su!” A shout woke up Ruo Su. She furrowed her brows and looked to the side with a cold gaze.
Ye Feian had arrived at an unknown time and was smiling at her.
With a cold and indifferent expression, she looked like she was about to close the door.
Who knew that Ye Feian would rush into the courtyard before she could close the door. ”I have something to tell you.”
”What did you say? How did you take advantage of the incident to rob father's family? Or was my family disgraced by Shen Ruo Lin all those years ago?” An Ruo smiled mockingly, ”You should leave, don't come looking for me in the future.”
”Why don't you believe me?” ”You only believe that your eyes won't believe me.”
”This King treated you like that year? Don't you know that yourself? ” Ye Feian held the ice-cold fingertip of Anousin and swore, ”The heaven and earth shall witness my love for you, and the sun and moon shall shine!”
Pushing his hand away, Ruo Ruo smiled coldly: ”So what? It was clearly you who used Ye Feihan's hand to swallow up the An clan in one night and even said some words of honor. Do you really think that I would be as foolish as I was back then to believe you? What you are scheming is only to protect the treasure that the An clan has protected for generations! ”
With that, she continued to add, ”I forgot to ask Your Highness, is the An family's treasure easy to use? I wonder how many of the gifts that the sixteen states of Shan Yang are offering to the General's Estate are from my family! ”
”Do you still like the new wangfei?”
He wanted to say something, but he stopped and left with a sigh.
