Chapter 316 : Rui Yi’s Story End (1/2)

“Have a safe trip, Lord Rui Yi.” The maid escorted Rui Yi out of the study.

The first thing he saw upon emerging was the girl standing in the distance. She was wearing a white blouse and denim skirt, her hair carelessly parted to either side. Sunlight streamed in from the outside and shone on her.

It appeared to cause her some discomfort, for she was doing her best to shrink back into the shadows.

Upon lifting her head, her gaze just so happened to meet his.

“Lord Rui Yi.” His gaze caused her to be startled, and she lowered her head to greet him.

Rui Yi frowned and didn’t say anything as he strode off.

Rui Yi could be a shameless bugger in front of Shi Sheng, but in front of everyone else, he always upheld the image of a nobleman.

Once Rui Yi had left, Liang Ge let out a slight sigh of relief.

‘He really resembles Rui Xue too much.’

But her sigh hadn’t fully escaped her lips, before she heard a faint voice speak from behind her. “You’re very afraid of me?”

Liang Ge was startled into jerking backwards, causing her to land in the middle of sunlight.

She lowered her head. “Lord Rui Yi…”

She wasn’t afraid of him, she was just…unable to believe the boy who resembled him so had died just like that.

“Follow me.”

“Ah?” Liang Ge lifted her head and looked at the room Rui Yi had just emerged from. ‘Why do I have to follow him?’

“Lil princess handed you to me. From now on, you’re following me.” Rui Yi was clearly rather impatient. “Keep up.”

Liang Ge’s face fell. ‘Senior is chasing me away?’

“Hurry up!” Rui Yi had already reached the spiral staircase, one of his hands resting on the balustrade as he looked at her expressionlessly.

Liang Ge shifted her gaze and reluctantly followed him.

Rui Yi’s place wasn’t too far from Shi Sheng’s. There was no one else there, so it seemed a bit desolate.

Rui Yi casually took off his jacket and tossed it on the sofa. He turned around to find Liang Ge still standing at the door, causing him to frown and go upstairs without saying anything.

He came back downstairs carrying several articles of clothing.

“From now on, you wear what I tell you to. Got it?”

Liang Ge, “…” ‘Isn’t it my freedom to choose what I wear?’

But upon noticing Rui Yi’s rather unsightly expression, she silently swallowed those words back.

That night, Rui Yi found that Liang Ge had run off.

He didn’t really mind it, seeing as how he’d only been fulfilling his little princess’ request. It couldn’t very well be his fault if the girl ran off, could it?

Liang Ge ran back to Shi Sheng as she complained with a crestfallen expression, “Senior, why’d you make me follow Lord Rui Yi?”

“…You were turned by him. It’s normal for you to follow him ah.” Shi Sheng spoke innocently.

“But…” Liang Ge appeared a bit conflicted.

Seeing that Xi Yin, who was standing in the distance, was looking none too happy, Shi Sheng got up and patted Liang Ge’s shoulder. “Girl, you’re cutting into our alone time by being here.”

Liang Ge immediately looked in Xi Yin’s direction. Upon noticing his unsightly expression, she trembled.

“You can’t very well follow me for the rest of your life. You’re just learning from Rui Yi, I didn’t ask you to do anything with him.”

“But Lord Rui Yi seems very frightening…”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Just what did that clown do to scare this girl so much?’

“More so than Xi Yin?”

Liang Ge’s expression changed. She hurriedly bowed and retreated. “Goodnight, Senior!”

It was clear Xi Yin was scarier to her than Rui Yi.

She dawdled her way back to Rui Yi’s place. The front door was locked.
