Zhang Yunyun looked at the man in front of her hesitantly, her heart filled with indescribable palpitations. She never expected that things would turn out to be so coincidental. Suddenly, it just happened right in front of her, completely shattering Zhang Yunyun's plan and leaving her feeling a bit caught off guard.
But this wasn't a bad thing.
Zhang Yunyun slightly curved her lips, showing a gentle smile on her face, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Young Master Li."
Li Yun had rushed over in a hurry. Just now, he was still working in the shop. When he heard from Zhang Yunyun's servant that his younger sister had almost had an accident, he immediately rushed over.
His delicate and handsome face was tinged with a faint red due to running under the scorching sun for too long. There were fine beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, and his hair was slightly disheveled, looking a bit disheveled. But Li Yun's expression was gentle and calm, and his eyes looking at Zhang Yunyun were filled with deep gratitude.
He opened the door and said apologetically, "The place is small. I'm sorry to make Miss Zhang feel uncomfortable."
"It's okay." Zhang Yunyun followed behind him, holding Zhang Nan's hand, and said softly, "This place is well - managed. It can be seen that you and Nannan are both meticulous people."
"Really?" Li Yun inexplicably felt a hint of indescribable shyness and said to Zhang Yunyun, "Come in first."
Zhang Yunyun wanted to laugh. She could sense that Li Yun might be trying to change the topic, so she didn't make things difficult for him and simply let the previous topic go.
But he was special.
Zhang Yunyun had never met a man like Li Yun before. Even though he was in a disadvantaged position, it didn't change his gentleness. He always tried his best to stick to his true self.
It showed that Song Huaizhi was really terrifying. He saw through Li Yun at a glance and then recruited him under his command.
Zhang Yunyun watched as he gently asked his younger sister about her well - being, poured water for her, and then asked, "Did it cause any trouble for Miss Zhang? Is Miss Zhang okay?"
"I'm fine. It's just that Nannan might have been frightened. So you'd better pay more attention to her today. Song Huaizhi should send a doctor to check on her later."
"Then I'll thank Miss Zhang for her kindness first." After Li Yun finished speaking, he forced a smile and said to Zhang Yunyun, "I owe Miss Zhang a great favor, twice even. I don't even know how to thank you."
Looking at Li Yun's expression, Zhang Yunyun inexplicably felt itchy in her heart. She even had an impulse to bully him a little.
Why not marry me? Oh my god!
This thought popped into Zhang Yunyun's mind. Her hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, and she almost couldn't control her expression and let out a surprised cry.
What was this! She was really being too outrageous! How could she think like this! But in the storybooks, after a beauty was saved by a hero, didn't she always marry him? Now she could barely be considered a beauty saving a hero. Why couldn't he marry her!
Zhang Yunyun's pupils shrank slightly. A huge storm was raging in her heart, almost shattering her rationality. She stood there stunned, constantly spurning her own thoughts, but she vaguely sensed her own fluttering heart.
It wasn't her fault for having such thoughts! It was just that Li Yun's demeanor was too easy to misunderstand!
"Miss Zhang?" The room suddenly fell into silence. Seeing Zhang Yunyun standing there in a daze with the cup in her hand, Li Yun frowned and softly asked, "Is the water a bit too hot?"
As he spoke, a look of annoyance appeared on Li Yun's face. Miss Zhang had saved him once and then saved his younger sister. Now that she came to his place, he couldn't even offer her satisfactory tea.
He was really being too much!
At this moment, the two of them were thinking different things, but strangely, the same thought popped into their minds:
I'm really being too much!
So when Zhang Yunyun heard his words, she almost dropped the tea on the table with a tremble of her hand.
Seeing this, Li Yun's hand moved faster than his mind. He quickly grabbed the cup, but his hand covered Zhang Yunyun's. The palm was soft, belonging to a young girl.
"Sorry!" Li Yun was completely flustered. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but he felt so anxious that he didn't know what he was doing. His hand covered Zhang Yunyun's and was placed on the table.
The cup was placed steadily on the table with a "clank" sound.
Li Yun's and Zhang Yunyun's hearts also trembled. Their faces blushed brightly. Finally, they quickly withdrew their hands and looked away awkwardly.
Li Nan was shocked. She looked at Li Yun and then at Zhang Yunyun. She originally intended to pluck up the courage to find a way for the two of them to save face, but she saw the hazy affection in their eyes.
So she quickly got up, said "I'll go and rest first", and then turned around and left the room, giving the two of them a chance to be alone.
The room suddenly became quiet. It was so quiet that the two of them could almost hear each other's heartbeats. To avoid suspicion, the door was still open. Outside the door were the people serving Zhang Yunyun and the servants of the Meng family.
But no one looked into the room. They all bowed their heads respectfully and stood far away, completely unaware of what was happening inside.
Beyond the crowd, not far from the courtyard gate was a bustling street. The noise came faintly into Zhang Yunyun's ears, finally calming her down. The rumbling sound of her heartbeat in her ears gradually subsided.
She endured the shyness and looked at Li Yun. The man's face was as red as if it had been painted with cinnabar. At this moment, he looked a bit at a loss. His eyes were drifting, and his hand unconsciously touched his earlobe.
Zhang Yunyun inexplicably wanted to laugh. She felt the feeling of teasing a "good - natured man" again, so the uneasiness in her heart gradually disappeared.
She now thought that no matter what, Li Yun might be a man worthy of entrusting her future to.
He was gentle and firm, sincere in dealing with people, and had the talent that even Song Huaizhi affirmed. It was very difficult for Zhang Yunyun to reject such a man who almost completely met her expectations.
"Li Yun." Zhang Yunyun finally stopped hesitating and said, "Why don't you look at me?"
Hearing this, Li Yun was completely stunned. Then he quickly looked up and saw the young girl looking at him with a smiling face. She then said, "Could it be that you look down on me, so you're so resistant to what just happened?"
Li Yun had lost the ability to think. He didn't even realize Zhang Yunyun was being sarcastic. He immediately said, "How could that be! Miss Zhang!"
"I was really... sorry just now. I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I'm sorry... I..."
As soon as Li Yun finished his first sentence, the next words were stuck in his throat. Looking at the smile on Zhang Yunyun's face, he felt as if he was floating.
"Really?" Zhang Yunyun spoke, her voice filled with laughter. "I understand what Young Master Li means."
"Then Young Master Li might as well call me Yunyun from now on."
Zhang Yunyun seized the opportunity and directly abandoned the reserve of a young girl. She should have been shy, but when Zhang Yunyun said this, she inexplicably felt like a libertine.
The words she said became more confident and even had a hint of teasing.
"Zhang..." Li Yun stuttered even more.
Hearing the word "Zhang", Zhang Yunyun glared at him angrily.
