Chapter 68 Touch
"It tastes good. Would you like to try it?" Su Wan handed the wine jar to Xie Yin.
Xie Yin took it, sat next to her, put the wine jar to his nose and sniffed, "Hmm, it is indeed fragrant."
"Here, drink more if you like." When you are drunk, you will forget all your worries.
"No!" Su Wan shook her head
"Why?"
"My brother said that women shouldn't be so presumptuous in front of men outside their family!"
Xie Yin's gaze fell on the drunken woman's cheek, and he curled his lips. He placed his hands on his knees and said lazily, "Haven't you been too presumptuous in front of me? Drink, I'll keep it a secret for you. You can drink as much as you want today."
Su Wan burst out laughing, "Do you want to see me laugh? I knew you were so kind."
"Yes, I wonder if Madam Su will meet our expectations?"
Su Wan chuckled. The evening breeze blew across her face, ruffling her hair. She closed her eyes, savoring the tranquility of the moment. "I'm no longer the Su Wan I once was. No one can stop me. No one can."
Xie Yin placed his hands behind his back and looked at Su Wan quietly, "What if your great revenge is achieved? What do you want to do?"
Su Wan's brows relaxed, her eyes suddenly brightened, and the corners of her mouth smiled, "I want to go back to the days of Peach Blossom Valley, or wander around the world."
Xie Yin's lips, which had been raised just now, gradually relaxed, and his quiet eyes darkened. He raised his head and looked at the moon, his eyes slightly lonely.
"I really envy you for having places you want to go."
"Don't you have one too? Isn't that sweetheart someone you're concerned about?"
Seeing Xie Yin looking at her, Su Wan suddenly covered her mouth with a look of horror.
Xie Yin laughed and said, "So Madam Su also loves gossip."
Su Wan quietly leaned towards Xie Yin, squinted her eyes and examined the man's eyes. Sad?
"It doesn't matter, a drink will make all your worries go away!"
At this moment, Xie Yin lowered his eyes to look at the reddish face. A faint fragrance drifted past his nose on the wind. He seemed to like the smell, so he deliberately stepped forward to greet it. However, he did not expect to meet her with a pair of scrutinizing peach blossom eyes. Xie Yin's heart suddenly felt like being struck by something. His pupils shrank, and his face was filled with a hint of surprise.
Before he knew it, his ears had turned red.
"I'm so sleepy, you go up by yourself, I'm going down now."
Su Wan placed the wine jar in Xie Yin's hand, stood up shakily and was about to leave.
"Be careful!" Xie Yin saw her almost fall and quickly stood up to support her. Su Wan broke free and kept her distance from him, looking a little uncomfortable.
"Thank you." She left with this sentence. Xie Yin realized that he had been a little rude, and without saying anything, he followed Su Wan silently.
Back in the room, Xie Yin lay on the bed and recalled that moment. His eyes, which were originally like a quiet deep pool, were filled with ripples.
"So that's how it is." Xie Yin murmured.
But Su Wan next door fell asleep peacefully.
The quiet night was like water, and everything seemed so peaceful and comfortable. However, in the darkness, there was a pair of eyes as deep as the abyss, staring closely at the inn.
The next day, Su Wan got up very late, and she didn't wake up until the sun shone through the window on her face.
Su Wan held her heavy head and stood up, saying, "Liu Shang, why didn't you call me?"
Liuyan pushed the door open and walked in. "There's nothing going on, ma'am? No one's watching you, so you can get some more sleep." Xie Shousi sent some hangover soup and breakfast today. Ma'am, you can eat right after you get up and wash up."
Su Wan shook her head. Hearing Xie Yin reminded her of the scene on the roof last night. "No, I have to go find Shen Wenqin today. We'll be back the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Having said that, Su Wan got up and went to pack up.
Outside, Liu Shang, clutching his waist, glared furiously at the much taller man in front of him, while Cang Yi lowered his head and glared at Liu Shang with anger. Both of their eyes were red and faintly filled with tears.
"I say again, my wife doesn't need your protection!"
"I'll say it again, you alone can't protect my wife!"
"You!" For a split second, there was a flash of lightning between the two of them. Only when Su Wan pushed the door open and left did Cang Yi give up.
"Today, if you tell your young master that he doesn't need to follow me, I'll take some capable men with me on a trip." Although Su Wan's tone was gentle, it sounded far less friendly than before. Cang Yi was puzzled, but he didn't say much. He just bowed and stepped aside.
Sure enough, today Su Wanduo brought four people and two of them took a carriage to Shen Wenqin's Yunkai Academy.
Xie Yin stood at the window, watching the slowly departing carriage with an unhappy look on his face.
Outside Yunkai Academy, Shen Wenqin was waiting at the foot of the mountain.
He was both surprised and nervous when he saw that it was Su Wan's carriage. When he saw Su Wan get off the carriage, Shen Wenqin hurried to greet her.
"Brother Shen, I'm sorry to disturb your studies today."
Shen Wenqin bowed respectfully and said, "No, I've taken a few days off and am preparing to go home."
Su Wan pursed her lips and said nothing more before following him into the yard.
After arriving at the pavilion and sitting down, Su Wan thought for a moment and said directly, "I will be returning to the capital in the next two days. I came here today to ask Brother Shen for something."
Shen Wenqin's eyes changed and he smiled again, "Please speak."
"When it comes to matters concerning the interests of the family, Brother Shen naturally cares more about it than I do, but time waits for no one."
Shen Wenqin's eyes were solemn. "I understand. Thank you."
Su Wan continued, "Does Brother Shen still keep his promise that day?"
"As long as it's beneficial to you, I'll go through fire and water without hesitation."
Su Wan lowered her eyes, her expression remaining calm. "I want the Zheng and Yu families to pay the price they deserve."
Shen Wenqin smiled and said, "That's what I should do."
"How can you help me?"
"I'll just follow Brother Su's orders."
"You should have met Xie Yin. What do you think?"
Shen Wenqin suppressed his smile and looked at Su Wan, "Do you really believe him?"
Su Wan smiled faintly, "How can there be absolute trust for the sake of our respective interests? However, he is my best choice." Upon hearing this, Shen Wenqin was surprised, and Shen Wenqin in the dark lowered his eyes, with an ambiguous emotion in his eyes.
Shen Wenqin pursed his lips and smiled, "If you believe him, I will believe him. If he harms you, then he is also my enemy."
Su Wan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Shen Wenqin and said, "If I didn't know the truth and was harmed by the Zheng family, would you regret it?"
Shen Wenqin's brows knitted together. He was the one who caused the disaster, so he naturally hated himself. If he was blamed for it, he would be punished. "I will leave the Shen family and forgive my sins in my own way."
"Now that I know the truth, no matter what you do, I can't give you a response and may even use you. Don't you regret it?" Some things are better to be made clear early on.
"I did everything voluntarily. It has nothing to do with Brother Su."
Su Wan pursed her pink lips. In fact, she did not have that much hatred towards Shen Wenqin in her heart. It was just that she could not accept the truth the moment she heard it. Shen Wenqin was just a commoner, what could he do?
"After I finish my family affairs, I will send you a letter."
After saying that, Su Wan got on the carriage and left.
After Su Wan left, Shen Wenqin returned to the yard and seemed to be waiting for someone.
"Mr. Shen's attention has impressed our company."
"If I'm not careful, it won't just be a matter of losing a painting someday."
Xie Yin sneered, "Lord Su has made our company's requirements very clear. What are Lord Shen's plans?"
