"Actually, are you tormenting yourself or tormenting Young Master Si?" Shinohara Ryo walked into Xinran's room and saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees, fragile like a porcelain doll, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
"Can I really torment him?" After a moment, Xinran slowly lifted her head from her knees and replied softly, almost self-deprecatingly.
"That depends on how you see it. If you believe you can dominate his heart, then your actions have some meaning. But if..." Shinohara Ryo paused, leaving enough space for imagination.
"So, you're mocking me for doing something meaningless, right?" The corners of Xinran's lips suddenly curved into a smile as she pushed herself up and got off the bed. "Did Mu Shaosi send you here as a negotiator?"
"I don't think Young Master Si would consider me suitable for that role."
"I thought so too! Then what are you here for? Is he letting me go and sending you to release me?" Xinran retorted dismissively.
"Hahaha, Young Master Si is not a jailer, I'm not a guard, and you're not a prisoner. I'm just here to accompany you for a stroll. Let's go!" Shinohara Ryo laughed at Xinran's words and raised an eyebrow.
She looked at Xinran with a probing gaze, somewhat doubting that her earlier weakness was feigned. According to Young Master Si, she hadn't eaten properly for several days, so it was normal for her to be weak; she should even be mentally exhausted. Yet the person before her seemed quite spirited, showing no signs of having refused food for days. From what she knew of Summer, who had the courage to take a bullet, she would never resort to dieting to force Young Master Si to compromise; she must have better methods—she believed that!
"Since he is so kind to let me out for some fresh air, I should graciously accept it, shouldn't I?" With that, Xinran stepped outside.
The few men in the hall turned their attention to Xinran as she walked out of the room, observing the woman who had captivated Young Master Si.
"It's great that Future Lady is willing to come out. Wan, you really have your ways!" Duan Ruyin teased.
"I haven't played much of a role; the key is the cooperation with Future Lady..."
"How about I act as the driver and take you all?" Duan Ruyin suddenly suggested.
"I think it’s unnecessary to trouble Duan Men Master..." Xinran replied coldly, standing with her arms crossed.
"But..."
"Xinran said it's not needed, so it’s not needed. Lang, take good care of her."
Xinran stubbornly stood still, her body even slightly stiff. When Mu Shaosi's arm wrapped around her waist, she suppressed the urge to break free and the desire to glare at him. After all, her being grounded was already a joke; she didn't want to continue acting for his amusement in the hall!
"Young Master Si has instructed me, and I will certainly do so."
"Since you don't want anyone else following you, I'll only send Lang to accompany you. However, I hope you’re just going out to relax. You wouldn’t try to shake off Lang and leave me behind, right?" Mu Shaosi leaned closer to Xinran's ear and whispered.
"I have nothing to guarantee!" After throwing down this remark, Xinran exerted a little force, shaking off Mu Shaosi's arm and walking towards the door.
As for Shinohara Ryo, she didn’t know much about her. Or rather, she could say that everyone under Mu Shaosi had abilities she couldn’t fathom. She simply regarded Shinohara Ryo as Shinohara Zen's sister, but in reality, she was the renowned female leader of Cherry Blossom Hall!
Did Mu Shaosi overestimate her or underestimate Shinohara Ryo's capabilities? She doubted whether she could really shake her off and escape. If there was no intention behind letting her go, could she easily break free from Shinohara Ryo's pursuit? Perhaps the world was full of hope; since Mu Shaosi said so, she should hold onto that hope...
