"Alright."
"You've had a busy day. Get some rest. I'm heading back."
Chen Yi watched her walk away, surprised. "Wan'er, didn't you just tell Xiaodie and Cui'er to get dinner ready here?"
But when she heard him, Xiao Wan'er only faltered for a second before her pace quickened abruptly.
If not for her somewhat frail constitution, she probably would have broken into a run all the way back to Jiaxing Garden.
'This man... I'm ignoring him.'
'Let him go play "fair lady, worthy suitor" all by himself.'
It would have been fine if she hadn't thought of that line, but as soon as she did, Xiao Wan'er couldn't help but think of that poem.
The thought made her burn with embarrassment all over again...
It was enough to make her forget her frail health and break into a light run back to Jiaxing Garden.
She'd taken it to heart after all.
As Xiao Wan'er's figure vanished at the end of the long corridor, Chen Yi smiled and looked away. He shrugged and muttered to himself.
