On the other side, Qing Yue was also lying in bed, but her lips curled upwards beautifully.
"What a fool!" She exclaimed in the darkness.
Qing Yue had been an orphan since childhood. Although life was not bad alongside Qing Li’s mother, her status was still that of a servant girl.
Even though Qing Li recognized her as a sister, which somewhat elevated her status, she clearly understood her own position.
Perhaps in external circumstances, Gaosheng of the Ye Family might not deserve her, but Gaosheng could provide her with a peaceful life.
For someone like Qing Yue, who had been displaced since childhood, having a stable life was an elusive happiness.
The next day, as Gaosheng left his house, he suddenly heard the gatekeeper come to report, "Sir, there is someone looking for you outside."
"Who is it?" Gaosheng looked somewhat weary; he had spent most of last night thinking about Miss Qing Yue’s words and then suddenly felt that Miss Qing Yue seemed not to dislike him.
Did that mean he still had a chance?
This morning, he was planning to ask his younger sister for advice when he was unexpectedly stopped as soon as he stepped out.
"It’s a young lady. I don’t recognize her," the servant replied.
Gaosheng couldn’t help but wonder inside.
What did she want with him?
Gaosheng continued, "I’ll go see."
Around the corner, Qing Yue suddenly paused in her steps.
What does a young lady want with Gaosheng, and the servant doesn’t recognize her, indicating she is not a girl from the village!
At the gate, Gaosheng saw the somewhat uneasy girl standing at the entrance, and he could tell he did not know her.
Out of politeness, Gaosheng approached, "Young lady, are you looking for me? May I know what it’s about?"
"You... are you Gaosheng of the Ye Family?" Fengfeng had only heard about him from Mrs. Wang, but had not yet met him.
Even yesterday, in the town store, he was too far away for her to see clearly.
"Indeed, I am. Who might you be?" Gaosheng asked, puzzled.
The young lady was suddenly shy, "I... my name is Gao Fengfeng."
"So you are Miss Gao?" Gaosheng remarked.
Just as Fengfeng thought he might recognize her, implying that he was interested in her, she heard Gaosheng continue, "I apologize, I don’t know and don’t recognize you!"
The smile on Fengfeng’s face stiffened, "I... we had discussed marriage before last year. How could you not know me?"
Gaosheng’s expression immediately turned strange, "Are you the one who, because of our family’s separation issue, suddenly disagreed with the arranged meeting we had agreed upon?"
At the time, he had felt quite dejected for a while.
However, it was not because he harbored any feelings toward Fengfeng; after all, they had never even met face to face, so having any feelings was too abstract.
He simply felt a blow to his pride.
With that remark from Gaosheng, Fengfeng’s expression became even more awkward, "I... I..."
Fengfeng felt that she should clarify, "At that time, it was all decided by my parents, so..." She had never said she didn’t want to meet him.
Standing there in the cold wind, Gaosheng already felt quite helpless, "So, Miss Gao, what exactly did you want to do by coming here today?"
He was still in a hurry to discuss things with his younger sister, and also needed to check on the store.
