Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart Chapter 397: You Should Have Met Him

Lan Ruo pouted upon hearing this, "I don’t know him!"

Song Ting frowned and lightly sneered, "Ah Ruo, don’t be rude!"

Lan Ruo’s eyes suddenly brightened, "You just called ..."

"Mmm-hmm~"

Song Ting cleared his throat, no longer looking at her, instead addressing Shangguan Ruyan, "She’s always been like this, I apologize for any offense, Miss Shangguan."

Lan Ruo was already filled with joy at him calling her "Ah Ruo," making even Shangguan Ruyan seem more pleasing to her.

"It’s nothing." Shangguan Ruyan said with a gentle smile, "Young girls are all innocent and lively, it’s great."

"What young girl?" Lan Ruo snorted lightly, "I have already co of age!"

Shangguan Ruyan smiled, "Then I am still a little older than you; I’ve been of age for two years."

"Two years?" Lan Ruo frowned, curiously, "In the big families of the Capital, don’t they all marry as soon as they co of age?"

Lan Ruo heard Duan Yunfei call her a young lady, so she knew she wasn’t married yet.

Shen Qinglan, however, knew sothing and quickly nudged Lan Ruo, signaling her not to ask further.

As expected, hearing these words, Shangguan Ruyan’s smile stiffened.

The maid standing by her side suddenly showed a sullen face and scolded, "Young lady, how can you speak like that?"

"I—"

Lan Ruo looked at Shangguan Ruyan, then said softly, "I didn’t know!"

"It’s fine!" Shangguan Ruyan gestured for her maid to step back and regained her smile, "If I can’t marry the one I want, it’s fine not to marry at all."

"I’m sorry!" Lan Ruo said with apologetic embarrassnt and sympathy, "I didn’t know your lover is gone, I’m truly sorry!"

Shangguan Ruyan’s expression froze instantly.

Duan Yunfei and Shen Qinglan struggled to suppress their laughter, not letting it burst out.

"You—can you even talk?" The maid couldn’t help but scold again, "How dare you curse our family’s second young master?"

"Ah?"

Lan Ruo was stunned for a mont, then apologized several tis in succession.

Shangguan Ruyan forced a smile and said, "This young lady certainly has a way with words."

Lan Ruo chuckled dryly twice, deciding not to speak further.

Song Ting secretly glared at her and put a helpless hand to his forehead.

Shangguan Ruyan turned to Duan Yunfei and said, "There is sothing Ruyan wishes to ask Mr. Duan, if it is convenient for you to answer?"

She thought for a mont, and softly added, "Consider it as a favor for calling soone for you!"

Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "In that case, please ask, Miss Shangguan."

"It’s like this..." She paused, looking sowhat forlorn and said, "After Brother Zhao returned to the Capital, he beca withdrawn, staying in his study all day, not even coming out when Brother Xuan or grandmother called. Ruyan heard that he returned with you, so I want to ask if anything happened on the way back?"

Duan Yunfei smiled, "He probably caught the sa illness as Miss Shangguan."

Shangguan Ruyan was taken aback, trembling as she asked, "Mr. Duan, what do you an by that...?"

Duan Yunfei sighed lightly, "Miss Shangguan is so perceptive; how could you not know what I an?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Ruyan’s face turned as white as paper, and her body swayed as if about to fall.

This icy feeling enveloped her whole body, making her cold, with her head buzzing as if soone had slapped her hard.

"Milady!" The maid by her side called out with concern.

"I’m fine!" She closed her eyes briefly, calming herself before looking at Duan Yunfei, "Which family is it..."

She pressed her lips together and, after a long pause, managed to say "gentleman".

Seeing her like this, Duan Yunfei felt a slight pang of sympathy, and said softly, "Miss Shangguan should have already t him."
