Duonian seems a bit shy, bowing his head after speaking.
His young and handso face turns slightly red.
Chen Xishan, accustod to the cold and warmth of life, hasn’t seen such a pure young man for a long ti.
Her heart warms, and she desires Duonian even more.
She lowers her voice: "You haven’t said whether you are willing to go listen to traditional opera with ?"
Duonian lifts his eyes, glancing at her swiftly.
Then he bows his head again, whispering: "I am willing! Only that day’s incident cannot happen again."
Chen Xishan remains silent.
Duonian continues: "Your status is high, I am not worthy of you."
All won in the world love to hear such words... these words reach Chen Xishan’s ears.
She assures Duonian their interaction is pure.
She invites him again.
Duonian, with reddened ear tips, agrees.
Upon receiving his agreent, Chen Xishan doesn’t linger... soon avoiding suspicion and leaving.
Watching her retreating figure for a mont, Duonian slowly heads to the upstairs lounge.
Madam Zhou and Su Ruanruan are having a heart-to-heart.
Duonian stands respectfully at that place, recounting the prior incident timidly.
Madam Zhou teases him: "Chen Xishan truly is obsessed with you! Duonian, you must have so virtues she’s fixated on."
Duonian blushes deeply.
Last ti... that Lady Xishan touched his body.
He says nothing, but Madam Zhou can guess.
She advises Duonian: "Since she has invited you, you should date her... just rember to retain your integrity."
Duonian feels shy and is also worried about Chen Xishan’s unruly conduct...
Su Ruanruan chuckles softly.
She calls Duonian over, whispers so instructions to him, and then sets up a small arrangent.
Duonian greatly admires her.
He says: "The matter I have worried about for a long ti, Miss Su easily resolves it, I admire Miss Su."
Madam Zhou scolds him with a smile: "Stop sweet-talking, deceiving your Miss Su... she is not like that Lady Xishan who covets your body."
Madam Zhou’s words are half true and half false.
Duonian understands this is Madam Zhou’s guidance to him.
He is gentle-natured, not upset, and instead willing to help Su Ruanruan.
Madam Zhou sends Duonian down for social interactions.
Duonian naturally grasps the subtleties, causing Chen Xishan to constantly think of him, and her attention on Shaoting seems to wane slightly.
She speaks softly to Duonian.
Others are unaware, but Yin Mingzhu notices.
Yin Mingzhu seeks out the grand young madam, smiling: "See? The second young madam is digging her own grave! This handso young man is her poison."
The grand young madam is secretly shocked too.
That Miss Su acts so quickly!
Yin Mingzhu mocks the grand young madam: "If I were you, I would instantly ingratiate myself and latch onto Su Ruanruan, perhaps after dealing with the second young madam, she might spare you so leftovers."
The grand young madam’s face turns grim.
After a mont, she leaves.
Yin Mingzhu sighs lightly: The Huo Family is restless! She fears her privilege won’t last long.
After this, she makes money whenever she can, and once any trouble arises, she’s quick to flee with her earnings.
...
Madam Zhou is pregnant, and doesn’t show much on her birthday.
She hides in the lounge to relax, letting Mr. Zhou handle the socializing.
Su Ruanruan is close with her, staying by her side.
The grand young madam finds Su Ruanruan in the lounge.
Su Ruanruan sees her coming, not surprised, and treats her politely: "Why has the grand young madam co over?"
She offers her a seat and orders a cup of coffee.
Su Ruanruan says with a smile: "It’s been a while since I last had coffee with the grand young madam."
The grand young madam smiles bitterly.
She says: "Miss Su’s reputation rivals Chen Xishan’s; there must be many wanting to invite Miss Su for coffee."
