After Sheng Xueyi received a slap from Sheng Lu, she seized the opportunity and ran straight out of the manor.
Chuntao chased after her, while Mrs. Wu protected her in the shadows.
Once Sheng Xueyi left Sheng Family Manor, she didn’t head elsewhere but made a direct beeline for Shiqu Village to find Yuan Shougui.
Sheng Xueyi knew the Yuan Family’s residence in Shiqu Village like the back of her hand.
At this ti of year, although the weather was gradually warming, the ground hadn’t fully thawed, aning it was still early for farm work. With nothing to do, Yuan Shougui naturally stayed ho.
When Sheng Xueyi knocked on the Yuan Family’s courtyard door, Yuan Shougui opened it. Seeing Sheng Xueyi standing outside with tearful eyes, his heart trembled.
Yet, Yuan Shougui held himself back, looking at Sheng Xueyi with a calm expression and said, "Miss Sheng, is there sothing you need?"
After not seeing Sheng Xueyi for many days, Yuan Shougui thought he had seen through everything after being neglected by her and would never be drawn to this young lady again.
Unfortunately, when he saw Sheng Xueyi again, he knew he was wrong.
If not for the resentnt in his heart, Yuan Shougui would have been overjoyed at first sight of Sheng Xueyi.
"Brother Shougui, are you angry with ?"
Hearing Yuan Shougui’s words, Sheng Xueyi imdiately looked pitiful and forlorn.
"No, I’m not, I’m not blaming you!"
At the sight of Sheng Xueyi like this, Yuan Shougui instantly forgot his own na, much less the bitterness of being turned away by her before.
Now, the only thought in his mind was that he mustn’t let his dear Xue’er be troubled.
"Brother Shougui, you’re indeed the best!"
Imdiately, Sheng Xueyi threw herself into Yuan Shougui’s arms, weeping lightly.
At this, Yuan Shougui completely forgot his past disappointnts. He wanted to embrace Sheng Xueyi, but his hands seed out of control, trembling slightly, unable to lift and hold her.
"Dear Xue’er, don’t cry!"
"Tell your grievance, and I’ll find a way to help you!"
In the end, Yuan Shougui didn’t embrace Sheng Xueyi but spoke softly.
"My father hit !"
Upon hearing Yuan Shougui’s words, Sheng Xueyi sobbed out her reason for coming.
"Why?"
"You’re so adorable, how could he bear to lay a hand on you?"
Upon hearing his beloved was hit, Yuan Shougui imdiately lost his composure.
"He ca with my stepmother, wanting to marry soone I don’t like."
"Brother Shougui, what do you think I should do?"
Sheng Xueyi’s words were ambiguous.
But for Yuan Shougui, it was enough for him to fill in the blanks.
Without much thought, Yuan Shougui portrayed himself in the role of Sheng Xueyi’s beloved. After all, if Sheng Xueyi didn’t have feelings for him, why would she co looking for him at this mont?
No way!
There’s no way I can let Xue’er marry soone else!
Yuan Shougui used to hesitate to touch Sheng Xueyi, seeing her as a pure fairy, but hearing now that her father wants to marry her off, Yuan Shougui’s reason wavered.
"Xue’er, don’t worry, I won’t let you marry anyone else!"
With these words, Yuan Shougui embraced Sheng Xueyi tightly.
This embrace left Sheng Xueyi bewildered.
"Brother Shougui, let go, you’re hurting !"
Feeling Yuan Shougui’s strength, Sheng Xueyi quickly spoke out in a tender voice.
She truly hadn’t expected Yuan Shougui to dare to hug her.
In her mind, Yuan Shougui was just a loyal follower beside her, soone she could easily command with a little manipulation.
But she had indeed overlooked it!
Yuan Shougui might be a loyal follower, but he was a wild one.
