Chapter 65: Leave Early

  See you at 11:00 tomorrow!

  He Lan Minyue nodded, a sly look appearing on her face as she smiled at Chen Yi.

  Seeing He Lan Minyue being so bold, Chen Yi didn't move his gaze away, with a hint of an unusual smile, he looked closely at this beauty.

  The two of them looked at each other like this, and for a long time they didn't move their gaze away, as if they could read some things that were hard to express in words from each other's eyes.

  After a long gaze, it seemed that both of them had unusual thoughts in their minds, and the flavor of their eyes also changed. Chen Yi's eyes had an inquiring flavor, with a hint of aggression. Finally, He Lan Minyue's face showed a blush, unable to withstand Chen Yi's gaze, and she lowered her head.

  He Lan Minyue's demure and submissive demeanor in front of him made his heart flutter even more, Chen Yi had an urge to pull her into his arms and comfort her, fortunately his rationality was still intact, reminding him where he was and who was in front of him. After clearing his throat twice, he calmed himself down.

  The feeling of being moved is really wonderful, making one's heart throb with excitement. This feeling was never so strong when I was with Ning Qing.

  Because when Chen Yi first met He Lan Minyue, he thought she was a man, so he didn't dare say that it was love at first sight. However, although he couldn't say it was love at first sight, the initial feeling He Lan Minyue gave him was almost the same, that kind of extremely familiar and intimate feeling made his heart inexplicably flutter.

  Perhaps the familiarity between them, which came from the heart, made them feel like they had seen each other before. This extremely close feeling allowed them to have today's "ambiguous" relationship. Of course, Chen Yi didn't know how He Lan Minyue felt about him, and he couldn't fully believe what he read in her eyes, but he knew his own thoughts. Anyway, he had a special affection for the beautiful woman in front of him who made him dizzy. Just thinking that she was possessed by Li Zhi, that old lecher, in history gave him an inexplicable heartache.

  He can't tolerate this situation, if this beauty in front of him is really eaten by Li Zhi that old cow, he will go crazy!

  －－－－－－－－－－－－

  A loud noise came from outside, and the increasingly loud noise awakened the two people from their daze.

  "It's my brother who has come back!" He Lan Minyue's face showed a hint of panic, nervously glancing at Chen Yi.

  Chen Yi did not expect He Lan Min to return so soon, but he didn't show any tension or panic, instead, he had a calm and composed expression. He gestured to He Lan Min with his hand, "Let's go out, I'll go take a look at your mother!"

  He actually couldn't estimate how long he and He Lan Minyue had been alone together. The two of them were still like before, only feeling that the concept of time didn't exist anymore, even if a lot of time had passed, it only felt like just a short while!

  Jian Yi remained calm and He Lan Minyue also calmed down, nodded and stepped aside, leading Chen Yi into the house.

  Just as they were walking out of the house, He Lan Minzhi also rushed in from outside, saw Chen Yi and He Lan Minyue walking towards Wu Shun's house, and immediately lightened her footsteps. Chen Yi and He Lan Minyue also stopped in their tracks, waiting for He Lan Minzhi to come over!

  "Ziying, how's my mother doing?" He Lan asked in a low voice.

  "Brother, mother has been napping just now, we didn't come in to disturb her. I reckon mother's nap time isn't short, you should go take a look!" He Lan Minyue hastily replied before Chen Yi could answer.

  Chen Yi immediately replied, "Brother Chang Zhu, the lady has been asleep for a while, she should wake up soon. I'll go and check on her again. It's getting late, after checking on her, I'll head back to the inn!"

  "Should you be in such a hurry to leave?" He Lan Minyue asked with some surprise.

  "Sun Daochang has entrusted Ning Qing to my care, I couldn't let her lose face, no one is by her side to take care of her, it's not very reassuring!" Chen Yi said this when he didn't dare look at He Lan Minyue, because he didn't need to look, and he could already feel the unusualness in the eyes of this beauty.

  "It's all right!" He Lan Min seemed to sense something was off and didn't try to retain him.

  It just so happened that Wu Shun had a nap and woke up just in time, and was helped by the maid to get out of bed.

  After the courtesy and inquiry, Chen Yi sat down on the couch and helped Wu Shun check again.

  "Madam, your illness is nothing to worry about now. Just make sure you get enough sleep and eat more fresh food, and you can stop taking the medicine after two more days!" Chen Yi said as he stood up and looked at Wu Shun with a grateful expression, then bowed to He Lan Minzhi and He Lan Minyue, "Brother Chang Zhu, Minyue, Madam's condition has basically recovered. You don't have to worry anymore, just pay attention to your health in daily life! Since Madam is fine now, I won't come to the mansion for further examination! Farewell, Madam, Brother Chang Zhu, Minyue!"

  Chen Yi's two calls to Minyue sounded very natural, and in Helan Minyue's ears, they didn't sound unusual at all. However, Wu Shun and Helan Minzhi were slightly surprised when they heard it, but they didn't show it.

  "Min, since Master Chen is leaving, then... you see him off for me," Wu Shun instructed He Lan Min after that, and again showed a shallow, good-looking smile to Chen Yi, "These days have troubled Master Chen, I am very grateful, thank you for curing my illness! Also please forgive me for my rudeness, unable to get up to see you off, Master Chen slow down, next time there is an opportunity to come to the house as a guest again!"

  "If there's a chance, I'll come visit you again in two days, madam!" Chen Yi bowed once more.

  "Ziying, this way, please!" He Lanming made a gesture of courtesy to Chen Yi and prepared to see the guest off.

  Chen Yi nodded and then bowed to Wu Shun, also cupping his hands in respect to He Lan Minyue before preparing to leave with He Lan Minzhi.

  Chen Yi's sudden departure made He Lan Minyue a little disappointed, and she glared at Chen Yi with two eyes when no one was paying attention.

  Chen Yi's heart was filled with a wave of panic, but he still responded with a smile, showing his helplessness.

  "Ziying, after two days when we're both free, I'll come find you to drink and express my gratitude!" As they chatted casually while walking out into the garden, He Lanmin reached out and patted Chen Yi's shoulder in a friendly manner. "At that time, let's have a good drink together, no leaving until we're drunk!"

  "Thank you, Brother Chang Zhuo, for your kind intentions. I'll just have to obey," Chen Yi said with a bow to He Lan Min, "Brother Chang Zhuo, you go ahead and take care of your business, I'll leave first. If there's anything with the lady, please let me know at any time!"

  At this time, the servants of the Korean lady's mansion had already led Chen Yi's horse over and were waiting by the side. Chen Yi went forward to take the reins from the servant's hand, mounted his horse, and made another bow to He Lan Muzhi, "Goodbye!"

  When he bid farewell, he didn't dare look at He Lan Mingyue on one side!

  I'm feeling a bit uneasy today, I'd better leave early!

  －－－－－－－－－－－－

  After leaving the Korean lady's mansion, Chen Yi rode his horse slowly and carefully observed the pedestrians on the street.

  Last time he came out of the Da Ming Palace, he unexpectedly found someone following him. After thinking about it later, it was indeed possible that his lost entourage was looking for him. The mistake that day made him "heartbroken and regretful", but there was no way to make up for it, so he could only pay attention to the situation on the street in his next outing.

  The only thing that disappointed him was that during his slow return to the inn, he didn't discover anyone suspicious following him.

  But his disappointment didn't last long, and as soon as he entered the inn, what he saw made him immediately happy.

  Because Sun Simiao is back, and he's waiting for him in the room to have a conversation.
