"Alright, stop wasting time here. Go and check on the old lady!"
Ran Qiuye’s tone was calm. He Yuzhu, feeling guilty as always, kept his eyes fixed on her expression. Seeing no sign of dissatisfaction, he let out a soft sigh of relief. He felt at ease with Ran Qiuye around; had she been aggressive or overbearing, he doubted he could have held up today. After all, she was the person he cared about most, and it would be agonizing for him if she were to quarrel with him without regard for his feelings.
He Yuzhu visibly relaxed, failing to notice the slight downward curve of Ran Qiuye’s lips as she turned away. Ran Qiuye saw no need to keep up a facade when no one was watching. Even if she did pretend, no one would pity her; if He Yuzhu truly cared for her, he wouldn’t be entangled with Lou Xiaoe, Yu Haitang, or Qin Huairu. What unsettled her most was not knowing if there were other women in his life—and if so, how many.
