 Chapter 13: Madam, Young Master is Waiting for You Inside

--

It rained heavily all night long, and the morning mist shrouded everything in a veil of mystery. The sound of knocking shattered the silence.

Ning Qing woke up from her sleep, feeling confused for a few seconds before realizing where she was.

Outside the door, Yan Sichen's gentle voice could be heard.

"Qingqing, I've left some clean toiletries for you outside the door. Breakfast is on the table, don't forget to eat."

"Okay."

The noise outside disappeared, and Ning Qing wiped her face, got out of bed, and walked to the door.

There was a bag outside, and she peeked inside and took out the toiletries. There was also a clean dress and a pair of flat shoes.

Ning Qing felt her heart warm, changed her clothes, and went out.

There was a bowl of hot porridge and a few dishes on the table, but Yan Sichen was nowhere to be seen.

Had he already left?

Ning Qing sat at the table, her gaze lowered, her expression unclear.

Thinking that she would have to return to Yunjing No. 1 soon, she ate slowly.

However, no matter how much she procrastinated, she would have to go back eventually.

Ning Qing tidied up the table and took out the trash, then opened the door.

Her gaze swept over, and she unexpectedly saw Yan Sichen waiting by the car!

When he saw her come out, Yan Sichen's lips curved into a smile. "Good morning."

Ning Qing walked over to him. "Good morning."

"The dress fits you well."

He gave her a quick glance, but she didn't feel uncomfortable.

She hooked her lips and showed some genuine gratitude. "Thank you."

Yan Sichen's hand came out of his pocket, and he naturally touched the top of her head. "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

Ning Qing wanted to dodge, but when she saw his sincere smile, she resisted the urge.

She blinked and refused. "It's okay, I'll go back by myself."

"Qing Qing."

Yansichen called her name, his smile still gentle and good-looking.

"You don't have to hide from me. I'm not a jackal or a tiger."

Ning Qing's fingers hung at her sides, slightly curved.

Originally, he could tell that she was keeping her distance from him.

Yan Sicen didn't want to pressure her and spoke in a gentle tone.

"As half of your family, is it too much to send you home once?"

Ning Qing couldn't refuse and nodded, following him into the car.

This place was not far from Yun Jing No. 1, and it only took a few minutes to get there.

The car stopped outside the exquisite vintage carved gate. Ning Qing looked up and collided with Yan Sicen's complicated gaze.

Her heart trembled and she anxiously looked away from his gaze.

She pursed her lips and spoke softly.

"I'm here. Thank you."

A glint of waves flickered in Yan Sicen's eyes. "You don't have to be so polite between us."

Ning Qing didn't say anything more and got out of the car.

She stood by the car, and the window rolled down.

Yansichen's friendly features appeared, making her feel no distance between them.

Ning Qing knew that the guard at the door was watching her. She frowned, then suddenly smiled, adding a few more dazzling colors to her face. Yansichen was dazzled by her.

She said, "Brother Sichen, be careful on the road."

Yansichen couldn't take his eyes off her face. After several restraints, he didn't reach out to grab her hand.

"Okay."

"Goodbye."

Ning Qing turned and walked towards the door.

Yansichen calm eyes stirred up a storm, unable to suppress his inner worries, he shouted, "Qing Qing!"

Ning Qing stopped and looked back at him.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, and after some twists and turns, they became the most hidden confession.

"If you need anything, remember to come find me."

"...Okay."

"I'll wait for you."

Ning Qing didn't answer. She restrained the bitterness that surged in her eyes, turned around, and didn't look back.

Beside her, Lu caught up, his expression dark and unclear.

"Madam, Young Master is waiting for you inside."
