As for Mu Ling...
This brat had done so many awful things. Mu Ling would probably regret for the rest of his life if he saw the old master marrying Suyi off to someone else.
"Young Manor Master."
The old butler came out. There seemed to be a hint of impatience in his tone. "Master has forbidden you from seeing the young lady, so you don't have to come here every day. You might as well go back first."
Suyi frowned slightly, but she did not even spare a glance at the door. She pulled herself together. The corners of her mouth were lifted in a shallow smile. "Old Master, let's continue."
"Alright."
The old master laughed as if Mu Ling did not exist. They did not even look up from the beginning to the end.
***
Mu Ling who was just outside of the courtyard was looking through the open door. His gaze somewhat drifted away once he saw Suyi, who was sitting in front of the chessboard.
It had been for one year.
