There were so many things I wanted to say to Uncle, I really wanted to go over and hug him.
But seeing Mu Xiaojiu standing relaxed by the writing desk, looking indifferently at me, I suddenly found myself unable to utter a single word.
My fingers clenched tightly, and after giving him one more look, I abruptly turned around and headed back to my room.
Originally, with Uncle away, I could only seek help from Brother to see if there was anything that could be done.
Tomorrow, Grandfather will have Manager Feng send out the invitations.
Once the invitations are sent, it'll be too late; it'll be as if Brother and I were engaged, and everyone from the Eight Big Families would know.
But I never expected, the person I was waiting for, he wasn't just absent; he had no intention of seeing me at all.
When I was wandering and helpless, when I needed him the most, he... wouldn't see me.
The door slammed shut, and I had no expectations that Mu Xiaojiu would come to look for me.
