The Yandere Male Lead Chases Me-Chapter 841: Bai Lian’s Male Pet Stirs Up Trouble 34
Originally, Lanzhi had other things to say.
But seeing how, from the moment Ji Yu walked in, the Marquis’s attention was entirely on him,
did Lanzhi have any place in the matter?
Thus, Lanzhi silently withdrew.
She closed the door properly.
Watching carefully, it seemed that Lord Ji Yu also favored the Marquis.
Lanzhi felt somewhat relieved in her heart.
As for Lanzhi, she harbored no other thoughts.
She only hoped that the Marquis could find someone who truly liked her.
After all, given the constraints of their social status, there were likely many complications.
······
Life continued as before.
If one must point out anything different, it would be that Su Yan now stayed long-term in the courtyard of that newly acquired young official.
This certainly stirred gossip within the Marquis Mansion for a good while.
Ever since that day when she had a round of competition with Mr. Su,
nearly every following day, Su Yan would be called upon to exchange a few rounds of sparring with him.
And after each bout, Mr. Su’s gaze upon Su Yan would shine a bit brighter.
Apart from the word "good," there were no other terms in Mr. Su’s limited literary vocabulary to describe it.
The Third Prince Ouyang Qing also occasionally came to seek out Ji Yu.
Every time, he wouldn’t sit for long before he would leave.
Before departing, he never failed to reproachfully chide Ji Yu for abandoning him.
Time went by, and soon early summer arrived.
The weather turned hot.
One day, Su Yan sparred with Mr. Su.
It was precisely noon, when the daylight was at its peak.
Yet the air became increasingly oppressive.
Unbeknownst to them, dark clouds had covered the sun.
In an instant, the somewhat sultry weather turned cool.
After finishing a round of sparring, Mr. Su looked up at the sky and laughed heartily,
"It’s about to rain."
Su Yan, holding a handkerchief, wiped off the fine sweat from her forehead.
She lowered her eyes. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Father, let’s conclude today’s match here."
Mr. Su laughed heartily and nodded,
"Alright, as you wish."
His words were filled with immense pride.
Su Yan tucked the handkerchief into her chest and turned to leave.
The sky was covered with thick clouds, and faint sounds of thunder and lightning could be heard.
Su Yan’s figure disappeared at the corner of the courtyard.
Elsewhere,
Ji Yu watched as a sudden wind blew in, sweeping up fallen leaves in a whirl.
He was sitting at the round table inside the room, quietly waiting.
The table was covered with food.
Lanzhi silently watched from the side.
According to usual, the Young Master should have returned by now to have lunch with Lord Ji Yu.
Not knowing whether it was because he was engrossed in the fight with the lord or because the sky had turned as such, anticipating a downpour, he had yet to return.
Drip, drip.
Large droplets of rain fell on the ground.
Ji Yu rose from his seat, taking up the bamboo-handled round umbrella that had been ready by the door.
"I’ll go check."
Lanzhi hurriedly said,
"Lord Ji Yu, let Lanzhi go look for the Marquis. If by chance you get drenched and fall ill, the Young Master will surely blame me."
Ji Yu shook his head,
"No matter."
As he spoke, he was already under the umbrella, stepping out into the rain.
Just as Ji Yu had left, a house servant came to pass on a message.
"Miss Lanzhi, the Young Master has sent word that he won’t be joining for lunch today and asked you to take good care of things."
Lanzhi was taken aback,
"Is the Young Master having a meal with the lord?"
That house servant shook his head.
"The Young Master has gone back to his own dwelling."
As he said this, the servant hesitated for a moment before adding,
"Not sure why, but it seemed like the Young Master was in a rather bad mood."
Lanzhi nodded,
"Alright, I’ve got it."
The house servant nodded,
"Miss Lanzhi, I’ll take my leave."
