Chapter 569: Chapter 571: His Tolerance_1

At that time, all she wanted was a shoulder to lean on, so after this happened, the two returned to their casual relationship. He dared not kiss her anymore, but treated her delicately with care.

Later, she accidentally accepted Yu Peng’s invitation.

Now, it was almost noon, and she thought of not going, it was just having a meal, it wouldn’t make a difference if she went today or another day.

But in the end, she couldn’t bear it. She herself had been rejected by Long San time after time. If she treated Yu Peng the same way, what’s the difference between her and Long San?

Not wanting to see Yu Peng disappointed again and again, she finally went.

"Lady Xue Ling, are you leaving just like this?" The maid in the shop reminded her again.

She usually dressed casually. Today, she was wearing a plain outfit and had only one small white flower on her head. Her lips, usually painted bright red, were bare.

But she didn’t want to dress up deliberately, let it be, she’d go as she was.

At the Yu Family residence.

The dishes in the kitchen were already cooked. The chef had asked several times whether to serve them, but Yu Peng kept saying to wait.

The entire mansion had been cleaned. Even the moss on the bluestone slabs was scraped clean, and the branches and leaves in the garden were trimmed. All the beautiful flowers were displayed.

But that figure had not yet appeared.

Mrs. Yu couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Peng, why hasn’t Lady Xue Ling arrived? Did she remember the wrong time? Shall we send someone to invite her, or you can go?"

"Mother, Xue Ling will be here soon. Let’s wait a little longer. If you’re hungry, you can start eating with Father," answered Yu Peng resiliently. He believed Xue Ling would come.

"Without Lady Xue Ling here, how can your father and I feel comfortable eating first? We’ll keep you company and continue waiting," said Mrs. Yu, helpless.

"Thank you, Mother," Yu Peng said, then went to the mansion’s entrance. He decided to wait for Xue Ling there.

About half an hour later, Yu Peng spotted a lady dressed in grey and white approaching from a distance. Xue Ling usually dressed brilliantly, but now she was wearing white. He thought, perhaps Xue Ling was worried that his parents would find her frivolous, so she chose such a subdued outfit?

Yu Peng couldn’t help but smile. Xue Ling was overthinking. His parents would never dislike Xue Ling because whoever their son chose would be perfect.

From afar, Xue Ling noticed Yu Peng waiting at the entrance. He stood tall and handsome, neither too fat nor too thin, unmistakably a gentleman among the crowd.

The only thing that stood out was his love for wearing white. If it wasn’t for this quirk, Xue Ling would have ended their relationship long ago.

As she approached him, his beautiful eyes shone like pearls.

"Xue Ling, you’re here?"

"Yes, the shop was a bit busy, so I’m late," said Xue Ling, unwilling to upset him. She found a random excuse.

"No worries, as long as you’re here. My mom and dad are waiting inside. We can eat after you come in. Are you hungry, Xue Ling?" Yu Peng wanted to hold her hand, but when he saw her instinctively dodge, he didn’t insist.

"Not very," Xue Ling replied, observing the mansion of the Yu family. The couplets on the entrance door had been changed, and the lanterns were new. Once inside, she saw a garden filled with beautiful blossoming flowers, which seemed freshly trimmed. The air smelled fresh with leaves, and the ground was spotlessly clean. Even the moss was missing from the bluestone path.
