As an elder, she hopes that Haoming and his brother can be happy, and their happiness is closely related to Dong Huiying.
But if she were rely an individual, even if she weren’t Haoming’s aunt, even if she and Dong Huiying were just strangers. She thought, if they t again, she would never dislike that girl.
Perhaps, it’s because they clicked.
Or maybe, it was admiration for her abilities?
Or perhaps...
In any case, there are too many reasons, each one easy to ntion, and her deliberate ignorance was actually just an act of saying one thing while aning another. Deep down, she actually really liked that girl Xiao Dong.
The three people in the room were chatting happily, while outside, Bazak served tea to Dong Huiying.
Dong Huiying sat by the wooden table in the courtyard, with a few lanterns lit in the courtyard. Outside the courtyard gate, under the eaves, large and small lanterns illuminated a dark corner, and the dim light from the lanterns spilled onto the ground, combined with the gentle night breeze, creating a rather elegant and leisure atmosphere.
Dong Huiying took a sip of tea. In recent years, her taste had beco increasingly picky, especially with drinks, as the n in her family had spoiled her more and more. And this tea brought by Bazak, after slling its aroma, looking at its color, and tasting it, she could tell it was of superior quality.
"Good tea!" Dong Huiying praised. Although it wasn’t a famous tea, when tasted carefully, it had a unique flavor.
Bazak’s lips curled slightly. This tea was hand-roasted by him and was also Sir Liu Yi’s favorite. Normally, apart from Liu Yi, he couldn’t bear to drink it himself. The tea-making process was too cumberso, producing very little tea, so it had to be saved. He would rather deny himself than let Liu Yi go without.
Aside from Liu Yi, only soone of Dong Huiying’s status could have the privilege of enjoying a pot of it because of Liu Yi.
Dong Huiying glanced at Bazak out of the corner of her eye, and her heart stirred. "Bazak, we haven’t seen each other for a long ti. How have you been these days?"
Bazak’s expression beca serious, and he replied earnestly, "Thank you for your concern, Miss. Bazak is doing well, Sir treats kindly." Dong Huiying squinted slightly. Bazak referred to Liu Yi as ’Sir’, and Liu Yi indeed had the gratitude of saving his life, which was tantamount to giving him a new life.
His respect for Liu Yi is not surprising, but the expression in his eyes didn’t seem like respect for a benefactor, but rather more like... as a man, admiration for a woman?
Dong Huiying blinked, and facing Dong Huiying’s seemingly all-seeing gaze, Bazak’s posture didn’t stiffen, but an indescribable sense of embarrassnt of having nowhere to hide arose.
He lowered his head to avoid Dong Huiying’s gaze.
This secret, which he thought was well-hidden, was unexpectedly overlooked by Liu Yi, who spent every day with him, but instead...
Bazak’s mind was in a turmoil.
He was afraid, worried that Dong Huiying would tell Liu Yi about this.
To him, even though he was born in The Outside, his roots were rough, but after all, he lived on Dayuan’s land and had been influenced by those old teachings of Dayuan. Before eting Liu Yi, he had been married and had another relationship... With such experiences, he felt he couldn’t match such a radiant Sir. Now, just silently staying by Sir’s side, protecting Sir, he was willing to hold this secret for a lifeti.
He was only afraid, only afraid... that once everything was exposed, they might not even be able to maintain the current situation.
