Chapter 35 – Profess Love

Lu Heng resides in the remote part of the mansion which is a distance away from Fu Yu Xuan. Fortunately, Chu Jinglan dismissed all the servants; otherwise, what outlandish thing would spread out with both of them going out looking like this.

When they were outside the bed chamber, the door and windows were unexpectedly tightly shut without any visible gap even in broad daylight. Bending down, Chu Jinglan placed Ye Huaiyang on a bench while he pricked up his ears and listened carefully. There was a man and a woman talking inside the room.

"Miss Xie, there are still guests outside to entertain. Forgive me for not being able to stay any longer. Do speak up if you have something to say."

Xie Yun could hear the indifference and alienation in his tone. She involuntarily gripped the silk handkerchief in her hand, staring at him for a long time before mustering her courage to speak, "Ah Heng, I....."

"Miss Xie," Lu Heng interrupted her without any expression, "I have no affiliation with you since six years ago. Thus, it seems inappropriate to address me this way."

Xie Yun's complexion instantly turned pale and the rims of her eyes faintly reddened yet she calmly stood with no intention of leaving as she softly spoke, "Do you have to associate me with them?"

Lu Heng looked at her coldly, without uttering a word.

"I know you resent the Xie family for using our marriage to get your father killed, but I wouldn't have let that happen if I had even the slightest hint of information. After all these years, you still won't believe me. Ah Heng, tell me, what should I do?"

"Get out of here and don't appear before me, would be good."

Every word was incomparably harsh and cold like a sharp knife that ruthlessly stabbed Xie Yun's heart. Xie Yun continued to look at him calmly while the corners of her eyes reddened, yet the suspended tears refused to spill over.

Outside, Chu Jinglan frowned indistinctly. When he looked down at Ye Huaiyang, she was fondling the tassels of the jade pendant on his waist out of boredom. Her delicate face was calm like the lake under the autumn moon, without the slightest trace of ripples. Seeing this, his eyebrows creased even tighter.

"Have you known of this earlier?"

"Um, sort of." She replied languidly.

When Xie Yun visited her previously, her complexion changed when she heard Lu Heng's voice. If Ye Huaiyang couldn't discern from her making a point asking that question before boarding the carriage, she could simply quit.

Chu Jinglan pursed his lips tightly. He evidently did not want to meddle in this matter, but Ye Huaiyang is still feverish and urgently needs Lu Heng's treatment. It would not resolve anything by continuing to wait outside. Just as he hesitated, Lu Heng unexpectedly opened the door. He wanted to ask Xie Yun to leave, instead running into both of them where four pairs of eyes immediately looked unto each other's expressions.

Seemingly the one with the broadest mind, Ye Huaiyang took the initiative. She raised her small face and greeted Xie Yun without the slightest bit of awkwardness, "Elder Sister Yun, you are also here to attend my wedding feast?"

Xie Yun managed to pull out a smile, then walked out of the door in front of Lu Heng, forgetting all her manners. Lu Heng stiffly stood in place until the waft of fragrance dispersed from the tip of his nose before raising his eyes to look at Chu Jinglan. If it was another time, he would have certainly cracked some jokes but today, he seems reticent and unable to even utter half a word.

Chu Jinglan picked Ye Huaiyang up and walked past him as he said, "Examine her."

Rolling his sleeves up, Lu Heng took her pulse before saying, "It's nothing. She will be fine after taking some antipyretic medicine."
