Chapter 107 Infiltration (2)
"…Nothing. It will be great if Brother Ye is here."
Noticing Yinyin's anxiety and realizing her own slip of the tongue, Xiuying adjusted herself quickly, as if it was natural. She was indeed relieved to have Wang Ye around. However, thinking of Zhao Ziheng's deteriorating physical condition, Xiuying couldn't help but worry. After all, although she didn't understand Zhao Ziheng's physical condition completely, she at least knew something about it. So she was busy comforting Yinyin the moment before, but in a moment she became worried again, and even ignored Yinyin.
From Xiuying's rapidly changing expression, Yinyin could feel that things were not as simple as Xiuying said. For some reason, Yinyin felt her heart tighten. Since coming to Zhao State, she had tried her best not to think about that. However, after such a long period of silence, she suddenly became at a loss and flustered after finding out. There was only one thought left in her mind, which was to see the person she missed.
But how should they meet? Yinyin already knew that Zhao Ziheng was deliberately avoiding her. Even if he forced her to do so, what excuse would she use?
"Princess?"
When Xiuying came back to her senses from her thoughts, she found that anxiety covered Yinyin's entire face. She couldn't help but feel a little worried. Once again, she did not realize that her thoughts had caused Yinyin to fall into her own speculations.
Unfortunately, Yinyin, who was lost in thought and anxiety, did not hear Xiuying's call. Her mind was completely immersed in her own reverie and occupied by Zhao Ziheng's affairs. She did not realize that Zhao Ziheng did not need to be confirmed . Her reaction was completely instinctive. She did not need to think deeply about it. Her subconscious mind had already found the answer for her. Unfortunately, Yinyin herself did not realize this.
"Yin Yin!"
A crisp voice suddenly woke Yin Yin up. Looking for the source of the voice, Ling Menghan was walking towards her with a refreshed look.
“You’re here.”
Yinyin, who had just come back to her senses from deep thought, had a bitter voice and forced a smile, which was slightly sad.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Menghan walked over on her own and noticed Yinyin's expression so she asked with concern.
"Nothing, please sit down."
Seeing that Yinyin was forcing a smile, but not knowing where it came from, Ling Menghan had no choice but to sit down opposite Yinyin. He glanced at Xiuying beside Yinyin with a questioning look. Xiuying saw it, but just shook her head, looking as if she couldn't speak.
"It seems to be late today."
Not noticing the conversation between Ling Menghan and Xiuying, Yinyin said absentmindedly.
"Ah, well, something."
"Um?"
Yinyin was a little surprised by Ling Menghan's answer, because this answer made Yinyin feel that there was something else behind it? Soon, Yinyin discovered a kind of confusion on Ling Menghan's face that she had never seen before?
"What's wrong?"
Taking advantage of Ling Menghan's reaction, Yinyin put her own affairs aside for the time being and began to care about Ling Menghan. After spending so much time together, Yinyin 's affection for Ling Menghan grew deeper and deeper. She was deeply attracted by Ling Menghan's naturalness, generosity and thoughtfulness. It was a rare opportunity to see such a rare side of Ling Menghan, and Yinyin naturally didn't want to miss it.
Ling Menghan did not answer immediately, but took the cup of tea that Xiuying had poured for her and took a sip, then slowly held the cup in her palm, and then slowly moved her lips and said lightly: "He... asked me to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."
After spending so much time together, Yin Yin knew who Ling Menghan was referring to. She wanted to say something, but the unexpected discovery made her swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Her expression became stunned and she said: "The Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"
"Um."
Ling Menghan didn't notice the changes on Yinyin's face. She just held the teacup with her head slightly lowered, looking thoughtful. However, Xiuying on the side saw the changes on Yinyin's face clearly, but didn't know where this change came from.
After a long while, Yin Yin seemed to have thought deeply before she slowly spoke again: "So are you going?"
Yinyin's question was exactly what Ling Menghan was considering. To be honest, she really wanted to go just to see that person. If she didn't go, it would be because she didn't know what kind of mood she should be in to meet him. Yinyin seemed to understand Ling Menghan's mood, because her mood was similar to Ling Menghan's, but she had more concerns than Ling Menghan. On the one hand, it was because of Ling Menghan, and on the other hand, she didn't know how to face him after meeting him.
"Xiuying, you and Dong'er go down first."
"yes."
After hearing Yin Yin's instructions , Xiuying and the maid Dong'er who came with Ling Menghan responded and left. Even though they were close friends, there were some things that could not be said in front of them; however, there was another meaning behind Yin Yin's doing this this time.
When she saw Xiuying and Dong'er walking away, Yinyin turned her gaze back to Ling Menghan. Looking at her, Yinyin sighed softly, then looked up with a confused look in her eyes. It was not the first time that Yinyin felt sorry for Ling Menghan. In front of her, Ling Menghan could not take anything to heart, but what about her? Even if she could use the name of amnesia to conceal the purpose of coming to Zhao State, this purpose was irrelevant to Ling Menghan.
