Fang Tiangang’s eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, "I was negligent, I didn’t expect a village girl to be so formidable..." He looked down at his hand, then raised his head, "But even if she recovers, so what? What if... what if something unexpected happens?"
Fang Tianshuo’s eyes instantly widened, but they quickly returned to normal, as if the change just now had been an illusion.
"We need to think this through properly," a hint of fierceness flickered in Fang Decheng’s eyes.
Not to mention how the main branch was scheming against the second branch, let’s talk about Fang Tianze. These past few days, he hadn’t received any word from Yang Ruxin, which made him extremely anxious. He shouldn’t have avoided picking her up. What if Sister Xin didn’t come?
"Young Master, Miss Yang always keeps her word. If she doesn’t come today, she’ll probably arrive tomorrow," Liuyun reassured Fang Tianze, "She definitely won’t delay Grandpa’s birthday banquet."
Fang Tianze pouted. Was he worried about delaying the banquet? He actually wanted Sister Xin to come early so he could take her out to play, okay?
"Young Master..." Just then, Liu Guang stumbled in, panting, "Found... found her..."
"Found Sister Xin? Where is she? Where?" As soon as Fang Tianze heard this, he rushed over and grabbed Liu Guang’s arm, "Did she just arrive? Is she at the entrance? I’ll go to meet her..." he said, ready to dash outside.
"My young master..." Having caught his breath, Liu Guang quickly turned around and grabbed Fang Tianze, "Don’t be hasty. Miss Yang isn’t at the gate. She is staying at the inn..."
"Ah?" Fang Tianze’s face instantly fell into an expression of grievance, "Why is she staying at an inn? She..."
"She is at Yuelai Inn." Liu Guang took a deep breath, "She booked a room for three days and only checked in today, close to noon... I was afraid it was too late and Miss Yang might be resting, so I didn’t dare to disturb her..."
Fang Tianze was silent for a moment, then continued walking out, "I have to go find her."
"Young Master, this..." Liuyun and Liu Guang exchanged glances, hastily following him.
After leaving the Dong Family’s annex, Yang Ruxin quickly returned to the inn, only to be taken aback as soon as she entered.
"Sister Xin..." Fang Tianze’s eyes immediately reddened upon seeing Yang Ruxin walk through the door.
"Zeze, what’s wrong?" Yang Ruxin got a scare, "Who’s bullied you? Tell Sister Xin, and I’ll slap them for you..."
"You!" Fang Tianze pouted, staring at her with his clear, big eyes, where rings of tears were moving but stubbornly refusing to fall.
"Me?" Yang Ruxin blinked, pointing at her nose, "How did I bully you? Tell me, and I’ll slap myself..."
Pfft! Fang Tianze couldn’t help but laugh with tears in his eyes, then raised his hand to wipe his face, "I don’t want you to slap yourself."
"Then tell me, how did I bully you?" Yang Ruxin sighed, feeling totally defenseless against such a cute little boy.
"You said you would come early, you said you would stay at my house, but you came and didn’t tell me. I’ve had people waiting at the city gate every day, and still, I didn’t find you. And you secretly stayed at an inn..." Fang Tianze said, his voice turning woeful, his pursed lips conveying utter misery, "If it weren’t for Liu Guang finding out, I would have had no idea you had arrived..."
Yang Ruxin suddenly felt guilty, touching her nose. She couldn’t very well explain that she didn’t come to the county town just for your grandfather’s birthday banquet, but also to visit her own adoptive father, right? Staying at his house would be inconvenient, so she could only chuckle vaguely, "We’re just country bumpkins, staying at your house would feel uncomfortable, so..."
