"Butler Xue, when exactly will Mr. Yan come down to see me?"
Yue Yirou stared blankly at the floor with her eyes downcast. Although she had just eaten lunch, her voice sounded weak and listless.
“Miss Yue, I really don’t know. It depends on when the young master is feeling better and when he’s in a better mood. He’ll probably come down to see you when he’s in a better mood.”
Yue Yirou was speechless. She had only gone to pick up a white jade pendant, yet he was in such a bad mood. It was truly incomprehensible.
If he's in a good mood and comes down to see her, he can't help but want to disgust her. If she doesn't want to, or if she's disgusted by him and vomits uncontrollably again, wouldn't his mood be even worse?
What kind of things would he do then to torment her and himself?
Just thinking about it gives me a headache, and it makes me feel hopeless.
Heavens above, when will she finally be able to leave this place and return to Tingyun's side?
Tingyun, he should be awake by now, right?
I wonder if he had any doubts about the jade pendant.
After Xue Tao left with the tray, Yue Yirou sat back down on the sofa. She opened her handbag and was about to take out her phone to call Lu Tingyun's assistant, Zou Qian, to ask about the situation when Zou Qian called.
"Miss Yue, where are you now? Are you alright? The people from Xingye Pavilion have returned the jade pendant, and Young Master Yun has also woken up."
As soon as the call connected, Zou Qian's anxious voice came through. Yue Yirou knew that he was worried because he hadn't seen her return.
Feeling a warmth in her heart, she explained, "I'm fine, don't worry about me. When did Tingyun wake up? What did you tell him about the jade pendant?"
"Young Master Yun woke up just as the jade pendant was returned. I told him that the people from Xingye Pavilion felt guilty and returned it, and Young Master Yun didn't suspect anything. I didn't dare tell him about your trip to Xingye Pavilion. Miss Yue, where are you now? Why didn't you bring the jade pendant back yourself?"
Yue Yirou didn't want to tell him that she was still in Xingye Pavilion, not only because she was afraid he would worry, but also because she was afraid he would misunderstand. She was still innocent, and if he knew that she was imprisoned in Xingye Pavilion by Yan Ye, he would definitely mistakenly think that she had been...
She didn't want anyone to misunderstand something that hadn't happened yet.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'm at home now. I'll have someone from Xingye Pavilion personally deliver the jade pendant back so that Tingyun won't suspect anything. Otherwise, if he finds out that I went to Xingye Pavilion, he'll definitely be very angry."
Zou Qian believed her: "Miss Yue is very thoughtful. This matter really shouldn't be known to Young Master Yun. I'm relieved that Miss Yue is alright."
After hanging up with Zou Qian, Yue Yirou dialed Lu Tingyun's number.
Two years ago, she was working a summer job at the Wanting Hotel and almost fell into the hands of bad guys, but Tingyun appeared at the critical moment and saved her.
Gradually, she fell in love with this warm man, but although Tingyun treated her very well, he always kept his distance, and she thought that she was just having unrequited love.
It wasn't until yesterday, when she learned from Zou Qian that he had gone to great lengths to keep the Wanting Hotel, simply because it was where they met, that she realized it wasn't that he didn't love her, but that she didn't understand.
Tingyun is a conservative and reserved man who doesn't easily express his love.
This kind of man is the most reliable and gives you the most sense of security.
While waiting for Lu Tingyun to answer the phone, and thinking about how he loved her, Yue Yirou felt much better, as if honey was flowing through her heart, sweet and delightful.
"Yi Rou, is something the matter?"
The call connected quickly, and Lu Tingyun's gentle yet slightly weak voice came through the phone to her ears.
Hearing the familiar voice, Yue Yirou's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She tried to sound calm and relaxed, saying, "It's nothing, I just missed you."
Knowing that he loved her too, she could tell him she missed him.
I didn't dare to say it before, afraid of being rejected, afraid that we wouldn't even be able to be friends.
After a brief silence, a deep, indulgent laugh came from the phone: "Yi Rou, I miss you too."
Yue Yirou's tears welled up instantly. Before, she wouldn't have dared to even think about it, but now she could hear him say so clearly that he missed her.
She didn't know how Lu Tingyun felt when she heard her say that she missed him. All she knew was that when she heard him say that he missed her, happiness, sweetness, and joy filled her heart, and she felt like she could fly. She felt that anything she did for him would be worth it.
