章節 119: Large Inheirtance

A long silence ensued between the two of them. The only noise was the rustle of leaves and two rapidly thudding hearts. 

They tried on many occasions to speak, but it always resulted in awkward mumbling or mouths that opened and closed. 

Finally, after what felt like forever, Yu Zhen cleared his throat. "You'll catch a chill from being outside for too long."

"Right." Li Xueyue awkwardly nodded her head. The sun was setting behind him, casting an orange hue over their figures.

Yu Zhen offered her a gentle smile and an understanding nod. "Have a good night, Sunshine." He started his horse and right when Xiao Lizi brushed past Xueyue, she spoke up.

"Will we see each other again?"

Yu Zhen paused his horse until they were side by side, but he was facing the path leading out of the Li Manor grounds and she was facing the entrance of the Li Manor.

"What happened to desperately praying you'd never see me again?" Yu Zhen teased, quirking a brow.
