Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 416 - 415: Do You Hate Me?
Shen Chen returned to Tingling Garden, bathed, and wore a long snow-white robe with a straight collar, his black hair casually tied with a silk ribbon. His elegant and isolated figure stood within the garden, gazing in the direction of Qingyi Garden.
He had maintained this posture for a quarter of an hour.
Not far away, on a towering tree with lush branches, Qin Yin sat on a branch as thick as an arm, staring at Mr. Shen’s straight back, hesitant to move.
The matters in Yongzhou were resolved, and Furong Building, with its unique dishes and first-class service, had captured the tastes of the dignitaries in Yongzhou and successfully opened three branches.
Moreover, Phoenix Pavilion had opened five branches in Yongzhou and added another in the Capital City~
Meanwhile, Lanhua Pavilion was converted into an organization specializing in gathering news, gradually starting operations.
In business, Shen Chen directed and guided from the shadows, rarely appearing in public, typically represented by Qin Yin and Uncle Jin’s couple. In case of urgent trouble, they reported to him immediately.
Qin Yin appeared there because Lanhua Pavilion had expanded to more than thirty people, and aside from some important figures, the other two dozen employees had never seen Mr. Shen. Should he arrange a meeting for them to recognize their boss?
He admired Mr. Shen, wondering how Shen wasn’t afraid of Qin and Uncle Jin privately embezzling his assets?
Since he and Uncle Jin usually represented the business, if they truly wanted to embezzle, they could adamantly claim it as their enterprise. What could Mr. Shen do about it?
This thought flashed by, and Qin Yin instantly broke out in a cold sweat. How could he have such a thought? He nervously touched his neck, thinking he could try it if he ever no longer wished to live.
Unfortunately, he cherished life greatly.
Then, he slapped himself twice with moderate force, blaming himself for indulging in idle wild thoughts. He had seen Mr. Shen’s swordsmanship and was confident he could withstand ten moves, but after ten moves...
Suddenly, a white figure in Tingling Garden sprang up with a tip of the toes, lightly landed on the blue-tiled wall, and accelerated towards Qingyi Garden.
Under the starry moonlit night, the white figure sped like lightning, vanishing without a trace.
Qin Yin stretched widely, stood up from the branch, alright, Mr. Shen was busy with other matters tonight, and he too needed to go back to sleep.
A dark shadow swiftly flew out from the Ye Mansion, traversing the moonlit night and disappearing into the darkness.
Inside Qingyi Garden.
Ye Zhi couldn’t sleep, turned off the lamp, opened the sash window, rested her chin on her hands, and stared at the round moon.
The moonlight shone on her apricot eyes and peach-like face, accentuating her snow-white skin and floral beauty.
Lost in the moon’s view, a figure in white appeared, startling Ye Zhi almost to scream, but she realized it was the Little Traitor. She patted her chest and softly questioned, "Why aren’t you sleeping at night? What are you doing here?"
Ah Tao no longer lived in Qingyi Garden, but Ming Yan still resided in a side room within the garden, though the distance was somewhat far. To avoid waking her, the conversation was kept soft.
Shen Chen straightened his posture as he walked to the window and murmured, "Do you hate me?"
Aha?
The sudden inquiry left Ye Zhi bewildered, and she shook her head, "No, you’re overthinking."
"Then why do you avoid me like a poisonous snake or a fierce beast?"
Even today’s feast you didn’t attend...
Ye Zhi’s gaze flitted around, unable to meet his eyes, and she awkwardly replied, "I’m not avoiding you. You know I have a lazy nature. After finally entering the tutelage of Lingbo Fairy, following the Master, of course, I must strictly discipline myself to study and uphold the Ye Family’s reputation."
