In a single night, Ye Yuning's world had completely collapsed!
Despite her painstaking concealment, in the end, no one had expected things to turn out this way.
For the following week, Xiao Linye did not appear before her at all.
She did not return to Shanyu Pavilion, and he had not called even once; his attitude on the matter was clear.
「Until the seventh day.」
The housekeeper from Shanyu Pavilion came over. Today, Ye Yuning did not bother hiding and met her directly in her office.
Upon seeing her, the housekeeper instinctively started to call her "Madam," but she swallowed the words before they escaped her lips.
Instead, what came out was, "Miss Ye."
Hearing those words, "Miss Ye," Ye Yuning suddenly felt her heart clench.
It hurt... That sharp, pervasive ache was unbearable.
No one knew how she had endured that week; there had been no word from Xiao Linye. But it was precisely this silence that made her realize just how far things had gone between her and Xiao Linye.
