Ye Feng let out a sigh. The arrival of a woman named Xia Qingqian by the side of the Young Master had irrevocably altered their circumstances. For many years, regardless of the situation, the Young Master maintained an unchanging, frigid demeanor, his expression perpetually like ice, his brows never betraying a flicker of emotion.
However, since Xia Qingqian’s uninvited appearance, the Young Master’s face had begun to display a spectrum of emotions – anger, joy, melancholy; a multitude of expressions now surfaced.
But why had events taken such a turn? Alas, he felt powerless, with no recourse but to comply with the superior’s directives.
"I'll take a moment to sit. It's quite alright. I don't have many belongings, I can manage them myself. There's no need to trouble any of you." She rested her head against the sofa cushion, a slight frown creasing her brow as she spoke in a low tone. Once she had settled for a brief period, she intended to pack her things and temporarily distance herself from the Young Master.
Perhaps that would be for the best; it would be preferable to return home, avoiding the need to confront both the Young Master and Gu Ziqian.
Ye Feng offered no further objections, merely procuring a cup of warm water for Xia Qingqian. "Miss Xia, please have some warm water."
Xia Qingqian accepted the cup from Ye Feng’s hand but made no move to drink from it, setting it aside instead. "Housekeeper Ye, thank you. I am doing fine now. I shall go and pack my belongings."
Ye Feng did not impede her further, offering a slight nod to signal his assent for her to proceed with packing.
Indeed, her possessions were few, and before long, she had everything readied. As she was about to close the door, her gaze lingered for a long moment on the expansive room, every corner imbued with indelible memories shared with the Young Master.
Just as Gu Ziqian had asserted, how could she possibly have entertained ambiguity with another's fiancé?
"Sister Xia, where are you headed? I overheard Brother Yao mentioning that arrangements had been made for you to depart first. Is that accurate?" Suddenly, a clear voice cut through the air from behind her. Xia Qingqian offered a subtle internal chuckle, recognizing the speaker without needing to turn around.
Xia Qingqian remained silent, a faint smile gracing her lips as she walked away, her modest luggage in hand.
Gu Ziqian, however, appeared unwilling to let her depart so easily. She seized Xia Qingqian's wrist, her voice laced with coldness, "I've already warned you. If you attempt to contend with me, you are destined to lose!"
Xia Qingqian responded with a gentle smile, turning her head to face Gu Ziqian. "Miss Gu, I am leaving now. You have already emerged victorious, and you are his fiancée; no one else will vie for his affections."
"I sincerely hope never to lay eyes on you in Brother Yao's presence again for the remainder of my days," Gu Ziqian declared with evident disdain, a sneer twisting her lips. "Sister Xia, you truly possess no self-control. I merely uttered a few words to humiliate you, and you become so incensed and lose your composure? Is it not true that you are merely leveraging your physical allure to ascend? Haha, Sister Xia, that slap you delivered to me serves as a stark reminder of what remains beyond your reach and grasp."
Xia Qingqian's brow furrowed, her desire to prolong this confrontation waning. Further words would yield no constructive outcome. She offered a slight smile, extracting her hand from Gu Ziqian's grasp, and stated softly, "Miss Gu, are you perhaps overestimating my standing? Do you truly believe the Young Master harbors affections for me over you, his rightful fiancée?"
A stinging sensation welled in her nose, yet she refused to let tears fall in front of the one who had caused her pain; such an act would only invite further contempt. Suppressing the bitterness that churned within her heart, she turned and walked away from Gu Ziqian.
Standing at the far end of the stairs, Ye Feng observed the scene. He inclined his head towards Gu Ziqian before proceeding towards Xia Qingqian, gently taking her luggage from her grasp. "Miss Xia," he said in a soft tone, "I will escort you to the airport."
