Chapter 336: Chapter 337: The Whereabouts of Ye Wuchen (Part 9)
“Senior Sister Ruo Ying!”
Suddenly, an excited voice came out from Qin Le’s mouth.
Her gaze turned toward the figure appearing at the doorway, her eyes filled with deep joy.
Mu Ruyue followed her gaze and in an instant, an exceptionally graceful figure caught her eyes…
The woman was dressed plainly, her unadorned face framed by a grey robe enveloping her body, her black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall.
Even without a beauty that could overthrow cities and nations, her lovely face was still dazzling, like the sun, blinding people with its brilliance, especially the smile on her lips, genuine and filled with a warm softness.
Any man who saw such a woman could hardly keep his heart still.
“Senior Sister Ruo Ying, this woman is here to see Senior Brother Wuchen!”
Qin Le glared fiercely at Mu Ruyue and hastily said.
Lin Ruoying’s gaze fell upon her face and she smiled faintly, “May I know why you are looking for him? If it’s something important, I can pass on the message.”
Her tone was unmistakably that of the lady of the house…
“No need, I just want to see him,” Mu Ruyue’s brow furrowed slightly, not knowing why, but she felt no fondness for this woman, “Where is Wuchen right now?”
Lin Ruoying was taken aback for a moment, then her smile widened, “From the way you speak, you seem very familiar with him. How come? Don’t you know he isn’t within the Academy?”
Her implication was clear; if you’re an acquaintance of his, why don’t you know his whereabouts? Why would you need to ask me?
“Where has he gone?” Mu Ruyue’s heart sank suddenly.
Wuchen wasn’t at the Academy? Then where could he have gone…
Lin Ruoying’s lips curled into a soft arc, her smile more dazzling than sunlight, “I’m not sure myself. He’s been away from the academy for some time now, but I expect he’ll be back soon. Miss, since you are someone he knows, you are also a friend of Lin Ruoying. If you need anything, just come to me. In consideration of him, I won’t neglect you. Otherwise, if he comes back and blames me, that would be awkward.”
She covered her mouth with a light laugh, her eyes filled with the brightness of spring.
“I won’t trouble you,” Mu Ruyue said, her brow slightly furrowed, her indifferent gaze sweeping over the woman’s face, “Since Wuchen is not here, I won’t impose any longer.”
Leaving behind those words, Mu Ruyue turned around and left the place.
Zi Qian Jing had been silently following behind her, a flicker of light passing through his god-like gaze. He looked at Mu Ruyue stepping out the door and quickly followed her.
“It seems that some men really do attract romantic trouble, are you okay?”
He hadn’t forgotten, in their past life, it was because of his romantic entanglements that those tumultuous events had stirred.
“Why wouldn’t I be okay?” Mu Ruyue raised her eyebrows, her eyes smiling, “Since the person I’m looking for is here, I just need to stay within the Academy and I’ll meet him.”
To be honest, hearing Lin Ruoying’s words at first did make her feel uncomfortable; the woman’s tone was too intimate, seemingly taking on the role of the mistress.
But after everything she and Ye Wuchen had gone through, how could she not trust him? No matter what anyone else said, the one she believed in was always him alone.
Zi Qian Jing gave a gentle smile. He knew it would be like this; in their past life, no matter how many trials they faced, their bond was unbreakable. In this life, their affection would only grow deeper.
