Chapter 421 Give Her Freedom
That afternoon, she received another call from Jiang Mengru.
"Yi Rou, you're not planning to stay in Starry Night Pavilion forever and never go out again, are you?"
"I...I don't know." She really didn't know. If Lu Tingyun still had those feelings for her and wanted to take her back, in order to put Yan Ye at ease, to prevent herself from being kidnapped by Lu Tingyun, and for everyone's well-being, she probably would stay in Xingye Pavilion for the rest of her life and never go out again.
Jiang Mengru said unhappily, "I'm getting married to Shaojun next month. You're not going to skip my wedding, are you?"
"This..." Yue Yirou was conflicted. She had already felt bad about refusing Jiang Mengru's various invitations these past few days, and it would be really inappropriate not to attend her wedding.
"We'll talk about it later, Mengru. I'll have a proper talk with Ye then."
"I knew you'd say that," Jiang Mengru said irritably.
"Mengru, I'm sorry, you know..."
"Fine, you're willing to go to this lengths for a man, so I have nothing more to say. Do as you please. If you can't come, you don't have to. As long as the red envelope is big enough."
A bitter smile appeared on Yue Yirou's lips: "Mengru, thank you for your understanding."
At this moment, in the study, A-Cheng was reporting to Yan Ye the news he had just received.
After listening, Yan Ye found it hard to believe: "Go and verify it."
Lu Tingyun left the country before achieving his goal, which he found unlikely.
When Acheng came back that evening, he told Yan Ye that Lu Tingyun had indeed gone abroad. He even swiped his phone and opened the photo album to show Yan Ye a picture of Lu Tingyun in Singapore.
"These are photos taken by Ah Liang and his team."
The person in the photo is wearing a mask, and judging from the half of their face that is visible, they do indeed look very much like Lu Tingyun.
That evening, after their tender moments, Yan Ye held Yue Yirou in his arms and asked her, "Yirou, you haven't left the house for over a month, you must be bored, right?"
It was indeed a bit stuffy, but Yue Yirou dared not tell the truth and shook her head, saying, "It's okay, with you and the baby, it's not stuffy at all."
Yan Ye knew in his heart that she wasn't bored at all and was lying, but he still couldn't help but feel happy after hearing it.
He curled his lips into a pleased smile, covered Yue Yirou's lips with his, and rolled over to pin her down again. In the midst of their passionate embrace, Yue Yirou heard him say, "Starting tomorrow, you're free."
"Ye, what did you say to me last night?" Yue Yirou asked Yan Ye as soon as she woke up in the morning, wondering if she had misheard him last night.
Yan Ye kissed her cheek, smiled, and said as he lifted the covers to get out of bed, "You heard me right. Starting today, you're free."
He knew that she had always longed for freedom.
"You mean I can go out whenever I want?"
Yue Yirou sat up excitedly, the thin blanket slipped off her body, and Yan Ye turned around and his body tensed up again, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.
"You're such a gluttonous wolf!" Yue Yirou hurriedly pulled the blanket over herself, got out of bed, and rushed to the bathroom.
"That's because I met you." Yan Ye looked at the closed bathroom door and murmured with a faint smile.
Although she heard it clearly this time, Yue Yirou still didn't quite believe Yan Ye's words. She thought he was joking and stayed obediently in Xingye Pavilion, not thinking of going out, and as always, refused Jiang Mengru's invitation.
"I'm really impressed by her, how can she be so patient?" After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mengru irritably threw her phone aside and leaned back on the sofa with her arms crossed.
"Miss Yue has refused again?" Xu Shaojun asked, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
"Hmm." Jiang Mengru nodded. "How can she be so patient? She hasn't left the house for over a month. Doesn't she feel bored?"
"Yeah, don't you feel bored?" Xu Shaojun murmured.
Jiang Mengru thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Yi Rou came up with it, but she had no choice. Yan Ye wouldn't let her go out, so she couldn't do anything about it. Oh well, she chose this path, so let's leave it to her. Shao Jun, come shopping with me."
Jiang Mengru moved over and took Xu Shaojun's arm, smiling broadly.
"Mengru, I have some things to do at the company, so I won't go shopping with you. You can go shopping by yourself; feel free to use your card."
Xu Shaojun pulled his arm away from Jiang Mengru's and stood up to walk out.
He actually rejected her...
It wasn't until the sound of a car engine came from outside and the car sped away that Jiang Mengru snapped out of her shock at being rejected by Xu Shaojun.
Shaojun never refuses her, so why not today...?
Jiang Mengru felt very sad and couldn't help but wonder if Xu Shaojun no longer liked her and had turned back into the playboy he used to be.
After leaving the Jiang family, Xu Shaojun did return to the company, but instead of going to work immediately, he dialed a number.
"Has the news not been spread?"
"The news has already been spread, Young Master Yun. We also specifically had them take photos secretly."
Lu Tingyun frowned. Yan Ye must have received the news, but why wouldn't he allow Yi Rou to go out?
He doesn't believe it?
Or has he already given Yi Rou her freedom, or is it that Yi Rou herself doesn't want to come out?
Lu Tingyun tugged at his tie in frustration. He had finally managed to stop her from doubting him, but now she wouldn't go out. How could he get close to her now? How could he win her back?
He needs to find a way to get her out of the Starry Night Pavilion.
For two days in a row, Xu Shaojun did not come to see her or call her. Every time she called him, he would say he was busy with work and hang up after saying a few perfunctory words. Jiang Mengru's suspicions grew stronger.
When the maid, Aunt Xiu, told Jiang Mengru that actress Du Manli had secretly come to S City, Jiang Mengru broke down and collapsed onto the sofa, heartbroken.
He really did turn back into the way he used to be.
"Miss, don't be sad. Maybe things aren't as you think," Aunt Xiu comforted her.
Jiang Mengru didn't say anything, hugging her pillow and silently shedding tears.
She hoped things weren't as she thought, and she didn't want to think about it that way. But the rumors about Du Manli and Shao Jun were common knowledge, and Shao Jun had been ignoring her these past few days. She couldn't help but have doubts.
What should she do? What if Shaojun really gets back together with Du Manli?
She didn't want to become a laughing stock, and she didn't want to lose him.
Jiang Mengru buried her face in the pillow and cried bitterly.
"Miss..." Aunt Xiu was both anxious and saddened to see Jiang Mengru like this.
Her gaze fell on the landline phone beside her. After thinking for a moment, Aunt Xiu sat down and dialed the number for Xingye Pavilion.
Aunt Wu answered the phone: "Hello, this is Xingye Pavilion."
"Hello, I am a maid from the Jiang family. My Miss Mengru has encountered some trouble. Could you please let your young mistress take the call?"
