Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062: 1060: Turn the World Upside Down

“I have seen Young Master Ruan at the Medical School before, but having no fate with the school, I could only admire it from afar. Now… it must be that Su Han is somewhat busy, which is why she had Young Master Ruan help look after the shop, right?” Liang Jie cleverly guessed.

Saint Ruan nodded, “Exactly! The Su family has been in chaos these days!”

Ever since Su Yingxue became the empress, there’s no telling how busy the Su family will be!

Besides, the whole family is still kneeling in the imperial palace.

Like many other young girls, Liang Jie was infatuated with Saint Ruan’s face, and she watched him with particular obsession, “How long will Young Master Ruan stay in the shop?”

“Until they come back!”

Saint Ruan replied casually, thinking that Liang Jie had good taste—the golden hairpin she picked out for him was quite suitable.

“Then… in the next few days, I will come to the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion more often to buy some things. May I ask Young Master Ruan, to accompany me and give me some advice?” Liang Jie boldly invited him, feeling a bit afraid inside that Saint Ruan would not accept or might think her frivolous.

But Saint Ruan had no such concerns and immediately agreed, “Sure, if you want something, tell me, and I’ll help you choose! Custom orders are also possible; the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion has everything you could want!”

Liang Jie was overjoyed inside; she had not expected that Saint Ruan would be so easygoing. She could not help but praise him, “Young Master Ruan is indeed straightforward.”

“I am already of a mature age; there’s no need to be coy,” Saint Ruan chuckled lightly, as he disliked being coy the most.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If he agreed, he agreed; if he did not, then he simply did not.

“I know the Medical School has disclosed Young Master Ruan’s age, but I feel… Young Master Ruan doesn’t at all seem like an old man, he’s clearly a handsome young master.” Liang Jie smiled, her two dimples sinking lightly into her cheeks, looking extremely beautiful.

She was a generously handsome beauty.

That smile even dazzled Saint Ruan for a moment.

He really resembled… that person.

“She’s long gone.”

Saint Ruan smiled mockingly; what was he thinking!

Just because a young girl compliments him, does he really feel young again?

Not paying any more attention to Liang Jie, Saint Ruan wandered off to another area to look around.

Liang Jie, accompanied by her maid, returned to the manor, smiling happily the entire way. The maid, however, worried for her, “Princess, you couldn’t really have fallen for this Saint Ruan, could you? He’s already seventy years old! He’s even older than our Master! What do you like about him?”

“Shut up! Don’t talk nonsense! Young Master Ruan he… clearly looks like a handsome young man, and there is no one who is more handsome than him,” Liang Jie was full of joy.

“Who says that? Our emperor is very handsome, wise and valiant, a sovereign of the nation! Most importantly, the emperor is not much older than you, Princess. If you were willing to enter the palace and become Her Majesty, wouldn’t it be better to see such a handsome emperor every day?” the maid advocated strongly.

“Stop talking nonsense! What’s so good about entering the palace! It’s nothing but a big cage, one you can never leave for a lifetime. I would rather marry an ordinary person; at least that way, I’d be free! Just like Young Master Ruan, free and unbound,” Liang Jie was like someone who persisted in walking headlong into a south wall, knowing well that the path ahead was hard and painful, yet still wanting to persist.

Little did Saint Ruan realize that, inadvertently, he had attracted a small peach blossom of affection.

In the palace, Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan were causing a commotion.

After Chu Yihan had finished his work late at night, he hurried back to see Su Yingxue and the child. Su Yingxue lost her temper with him, questioning why he was so heartless in punishing the people of the Marquis’s Manor and using them to threaten her.

With tears in her eyes, she demanded, “Is this the benefit of your ascension to the throne? Is this how you coerce me? The Wang Ye of the past would indulge my whimsical behavior, and even if something went wrong, he wouldn’t be so cruel to me and my family!”
