Lin Yuwei cast a cold glance at Chu Chenyi, saying nothing more. She would let him be, as long as he didn't bother her again.
"I'm tired and want to sleep."
This was not the first time she had asked him to leave, and she had said it several times already.
However, Chu Chenyi still acted as if he didn't understand, shamelessly lingering, showing no intention of leaving.
Lin Yuwei's gaze remained fixed on Chu Chenyi, carefully observing his expression. Just as she was about to speak again to drive him away, Chu Chenyi got up with remarkable understanding. "Then you should rest well. I'll come to see you again later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Chenyi stood up under Lin Yuwei's surprised gaze and walked towards the door.
It wasn't until the door was closed and the sound of it shutting reached Lin Yuwei's ears that she came back to her senses. This time, Chu Chenyi was unusually cooperative and left obediently, which made her feel somewhat incredulous.
After a moment's pause, Lin Yuwei slowly stood up from the chair. Her gaze fell on the half-embroidered tiger-head hat. After a moment of hesitation, she reached out and picked up the tiger-head hat again, continuing to embroider.
Before her child was born, she had to prepare all the small clothes, hats, and shoes for the baby, so that the child would be warm and comfortable from the moment they were born.
...
After leaving the room, Chu Chenyi's nervous emotions slowly relaxed. He let out a long sigh, finally over.
Every second he spent in the room, he was extremely nervous. He had to think in advance whether he could say something, and after speaking, he worried if he had said the wrong thing. It was truly agonizing.
It was almost too much for him to bear. Chu Chenyi reached up and touched his forehead, which was covered in sweat, showing how nervous he had been.
"You're out. How did it go?" Feng Jin, who had been waiting there the entire time and never left, hurried forward to ask anxiously as soon as she saw Chu Chenyi emerge from the room, eager to know what had just happened.
"Walk slower, don't fall." Ling Mohan, following behind, hurried to Feng Jin's side and held her close, protecting her. What if she tripped while running so fast?
Ling Mohan's eyes were filled with concern as he looked at Feng Jin. She was an adult, yet she made him worry like a child.
"I know what I'm doing. Stop nagging. My head is buzzing with your endless chatter."
Feng Jin said helplessly. When she closed her eyes now, all she could hear was Ling Mohan's nagging voice. It was truly driving her crazy. She didn't know how a grown man could have so much to say.
Watching the two flirt, Chu Chenyi was suddenly filled with a sense of loneliness. He felt so pathetic, all by himself.
"If you two want to flirt, go somewhere else. Don't flaunt it in front of me."
Standing between them, he was a living third wheel, feeling out of place everywhere.
It was better to leave quickly and not be a superfluous presence. Chu Chenyi turned his head to look at the closed door behind him and sighed helplessly, not knowing when Lin Yuwei would truly forgive him.
Just two days ago, they had been inseparable. Now, it was just him, the pitiful one, being teased by the two of them.
"You're a loner, and you want everyone else to be as lonely as you are!"
Feng Jin said indignantly. Every word was like a knife piercing Chu Chenyi's pain, cutting deep and viciously.
Why did she feel that Chu Chenyi was radiating a sense of melancholy? Especially when he saw a loving couple, it was as if it had offended him, making him very unhappy.
This was clearly jealousy, a complete psychological distortion. He was unhappy with his own life and wanted others to be the same.
And Feng Jin was determined to make Chu Chenyi feel even worse. Didn't he dislike seeing other couples happy? Then she would let him see it to his heart's content.
Let's see if he could learn his lesson and dare to anger Lin Yuwei again. Only then would he have a deep impression, and every time he wanted to quarrel with Lin Yuwei in the future, he would remember today's scene.
Feng Jin gently put her arm around Ling Mohan's. The two of them appeared even more intimate.
Ling Mohan was flattered. After all, following the last incident, Feng Jin had always been cold and indifferent to him. Her current closeness felt like a different lifetime.
He dropped his pretense and pulled Feng Jin into his embrace. If it weren't for Chu Chenyi's presence, he would have done something even bolder.
After all, the opportunity for a beauty to throw herself into one's arms was rare and precious, and of course, he had to seize it firmly.
It was just a pity that Chu Chenyi, like a glaring light bulb, was standing there, truly an eyesore. He wished Chu Chenyi would disappear quickly and stop being a hindrance.
Ling Mohan's patience had reached its limit. Finally, he kindly reminded him, "Your Highness Prince Jing, it's getting late. Are you planning to stay for dinner?"
Chu Chenyi's eyebrows twitched slightly. He said nothing, just quietly watching what further outrageous things these two could do.
A long time passed after his words, but Chu Chenyi still didn't answer. The quiet atmosphere did not last long before Ling Mohan broke it. "You're still not leaving? What are you standing here for!"
His words clearly meant to drive Chu Chenyi away, but there were always those who were slow-witted, foolish enough not to understand the implication and stubbornly continued to stand there.
Ling Mohan was too lazy to continue talking to Chu Chenyi. Since he wouldn't leave, he would have to leave himself.
After making up his mind, Ling Mohan was about to pick Feng Jin up and carry her away. However, before he could act, Feng Jin's action extinguished his intention.
"Alright, that's enough."
Feng Jin had sensed Ling Mohan's intention. She quickly withdrew her arm from his. She was still waiting to ask Chu Chenyi how things were. If Ling Mohan took her away like this, wouldn't all her waiting be in vain?
"Your Highness Prince Jing, what happened inside? What did you say?"
"It was alright." Chu Chenyi replied vaguely. He didn't know how things had gone, but Lin Yuwei's attitude towards him had improved significantly, no longer so stiff. However, she hadn't explicitly said she forgave him.
