Yun Dong could not understand. “Miss, why don't you want to tell Young Master Xie?”

 “Telling him will only affect his plans. Besides, I'm clear about this, and Xiajun Yanwu didn't actually do anything. If I scheme and plot because of these petty things, it will only make him feel vexed, get it?”

 Yun Dong rubbed her head. “Miss, I really don't understand marriage and love.”

 Yun Bixue gave Yun Dong a deep and meaningful glance. “When you meet the one, you will understand.”

 The first person who popped into her mind was Xie Liu, but at the thought of that stiff face, she immediately shook her head vigorously.

 Yun Dong's expression naturally didn't escape Yun Bixue's eyes. Her lips arched up. Actually, she really hoped to see Yun Dong happy.

 Lately, although the imperial capital had been very peaceful, Yun Bixue knew from reading the newspapers that many n.o.ble families' businesses were plagued with problems one after the other.

 Some families were being suppressed, while other families were being supported…

 Anyway, the prominent families in the imperial capital would have to undergo a total transformation.

The An Family

 Master An discovered the change in his son lately, feeling the subtle changes in his son's countenance. Sometimes, he would feel that all this was just his illusion, his illusion that his son was back.

 But every time he got near, An Yexuan would always address him as “Father” politely, and that was it.

Not only Master An felt the change in An Yexuan, even Xie s.h.i.+liu felt that An Yexuan had changed a lot.

 But the strange thing was, if she said words to torment An Yexuan, he continued to listen to her speak. However, he was no longer insane, and he could speak coherently now. She also felt that he was somewhat distant.

 Xie s.h.i.+liu dared not come to an abrupt conclusion, so she had been keeping an extra close watch on An Yexuan.

 Xie s.h.i.+liu discovered that sometime in the dead of the night, An Yexuan would go to Ning An City all by himself. Sometimes, he would stand outside the Yun family's old mansion all by himself and stand there like that for a whole day.

 She naturally wouldn't tell him she had followed him, but in the daytime she would ask him, feigning casualness, “Yexuan, did you not sleep well last night? Did you sleepwalk? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?”

 An Yexuan's expression changed before saying calmly, “Nothing. I'll probably be fine in a few days.”

 Xie s.h.i.+liu kept feeling that after An Yexuan's change, he had become burdened with more worries. However, she couldn't fathom what he was thinking.

 Xie s.h.i.+liu clenched her teeth and edged closer to An Yexuan. She said, “Yexuan, why have you been cold towards me lately?”

 “I wasn't.” An Yexuan shook his head.

 Xie s.h.i.+liu watched his eyes intently, but there was simply a clear gaze in his eyes, and she couldn't read anything from them.

 “Yexuan, didn't you say you were going to marry me? Let's get married soon in that case!”

 An Yexuan's body stiffened. He looked at Xie s.h.i.+liu and said, “Father wouldn't consent for the time being.”

 “Don't you love me? Weren't you willing to do anything for me? We can elope.” Actually Xie s.h.i.+liu would never leave the An family for she could be a spy inside that family, but she had only said this to test An Yexuan.

 An Yexuan paused for a moment, then replied, “Let me make arrangements and think about it.”

 Xie s.h.i.+liu controlled her expression as she watched An Yexuan leave the house. She could be certain there's a problem with An Yexuan.

 He used to call her Fei'er in the past, but ever since he was discharged from the hospital that time, he stopped calling her Fei'er. Could he have discovered something?

 But that couldn't be it. If he had discovered something, he shouldn't have continued letting her stay by his side.

 Xie s.h.i.+liu immediately found an opportunity to report these matters to Xie Liu.

 Xie Liu said with a lowered voice, “Xie s.h.i.+liu, did you go overboard?”
