Chapter 3

"Sister Yunwan~" Xueqing called out softly, for fear of shocking the young lady in a trance.

"Xueqing, why are you here?" A trace of surprise flashed in Duanmu Yunwan's eyes, and she hastily raised her hands to straighten her hair to cover up a tear that rolled across her eyes.

"Cao Steward asked my sister to go back to the house quickly. Lord Murong has been here for a long time and said that he has something urgent to discuss." Xue Qing didn't dare to speak too urgently, for fear that Miss would be too worried about getting sick again.

"What's the matter?" Yun Wan frowned thoughtfully.

"Butler Cao didn't say anything, he just said he was in a hurry and asked the lady to go back quickly. Lord Murong doesn't seem to be able to stay for too long..." Xue Qing said while looking at the lady's face, she knew that if the lady didn't want to, even the master If she did, she wouldn't listen.

"Well... let's go." Yun Wan took Xue Qing's hand and walked towards the house.Although these two young girls of the same age are different in status, they have been together for so long, and they really love each other as sisters. Every time Yun Wan asks Xueqing to call her Sister Yun Wan in private.

At first, Xueqing didn't dare to address her as a young lady, but she got used to this way of getting along with her over time. In her heart, she really regarded Duanmu Yunwan as her own sister, and why didn't Yunwan?

There have been countless long and difficult days, and countless days when I was awakened by nightmares, Xueqing was by Yunwan's side. Even if she didn't say anything, she knew that as long as Xueqing was there, she could feel at ease. Isn't it a blessing that someone understands your state of mind all the time!
"My eldest lady, you are back! Cough~cough~" As soon as Yun Wan entered the gate, she saw Steward Cao approaching him. The old man was panting as if he was about to fall.

"Uncle Cao, what's the rush? Your health is important. Don't fall." Butler Cao devoted most of his life to the Duanmu Mansion. Even Yun Wan, who often contradicted the master, respected him very much and never treated Cao The steward spoke loudly.

Yun Wan felt that Uncle Cao's kindness was very kind and kind. She had never met her grandfather, but heard from other people that he was very kind and kind, so in her heart, Uncle Cao was like a grandfather, always giving her warmth.

"Lord Murong has been waiting for Miss in Yanchun Hall for a long time, and he only told me about the master." Steward Cao's face was serious.

"I see, Xueqing, go and see the young master first, Uncle Cao will accompany me to see what's going on~" Yun Wan quickened her pace and walked towards Yanchun hall.

"Brother Jing." Yun Wan's call broke Murong Jingyu's contemplation.

"Guan'er." Murong Jingyu always likes to call Yunwan by her baby name like this. At first, she was very resistant to him calling her like this without authorization. She felt that no one other than mother is allowed to call her like that again in this world.

Whenever Murong Jingyu called her Guan'er, she pretended not to hear it, and only when he finally got tired of calling her Duanmu Yunwan angrily, she responded with disdain as a show of perfunctory, but Murong Jingyu kept calling her persistently. Looking at Guan'er, she didn't bother to argue with him anymore.

"Any news about my dad?" Yun Wan asked eagerly.

"Lord Duanmu is in a critical situation. According to my investigation, this kidnapping is the work of the Dark Sect Alliance..." Murong Jingyu tried his best to keep his tone calm, but in fact he was also very flustered inside.

Murong Jingyu doesn't know much about the situation of the Dark War Zongmeng. He only knows that it is a very mysterious organization in the Jianghu. .

Although the rumors in the rivers and lakes may not be credible, people who have been in the rivers and lakes know that this organization really exists. I don’t know who Duanmu has provoked this time. I’m afraid...even Murong Jingyu himself doesn’t have the courage to go down. think.

"Brother Jing, what chance do my father have of surviving?" Yun Wan thoughtfully looked at the man in front of him with a sad face. There were faint fine lines at the corners of his eyes, which looked very strange to him.

"I'm afraid it's hard to say..." Although Murong Jingyu was worried that Yunwan wanted to say something comforting, he knew that Yunwan was so smart that she must have seen through his panic, and she must have guessed how critical the situation was, so he could only respond vaguely. , he felt that he would not give up even if there was a glimmer of hope to rescue Lord Duanmu.

Even if Murong Jingyu is not for Yunwan, he has to be for Yunwan's younger brother. This Duanmu Chongze is the pillar of the entire Duanmu mansion, "Guan'er, don't worry too much, Mr. Duanmu is very lucky... ..."

"It's okay, Brother Jing, don't need to comfort me. I have also heard some rumors about the Dark Death Clan Alliance. Although my father...may be bad luck, but brother, please don't give up." Yun Wan's sincere eyes, Seeing Murong Jingyu feel pity.

"Guan'er, don't worry, your father treats me well, and I will definitely do my best." Jingyu paused and said: "Besides, you and I have such a deep friendship, I will never let you down."

"Then I will trouble Master Murong." Yun Wan was a little upset, and whenever Murong Jingyu hinted that he had a delicate relationship with her, Yun Wan would try her best to avoid the topic.

"Guan'er, you're welcome. I've been busy with business recently, so I can't come to take care of you often. If there is any difficulty, please ask someone to report." Murong Jingyu looked at the emaciated Yun Guan with distress. It's hard for the strong.

"Thank you brother Jing for thinking about it, and please take care of me, brother. There are still some things to deal with in the house, so please forgive Yunwan for not being able to send her away." Yunwan winked at Steward Cao.

"Lord Murong, this old slave will send you out of the city for Miss." Steward Cao's eyes were erratic, he was full of doubts but he didn't know how to speak, he was most afraid of saying inappropriate words and upset Miss.

"Guan'er, take care." Murong Jingyu's lingering gaze finally moved away from Yunwan's delicate face.

Every time he sees Yun Wan, Murong Jingyu will clearly feel that time is flying by, and an ordinary hour becomes a little shorter than a stick of incense. Her eyes are like stars, and her voice is like the sound of heaven. Even her faint scent of rouge wafting in the air, Murong Jingyu wished he could find a way to keep it away.

But Murong Jingyu still didn't have the courage to take that step forward. Even if Yunwan was within easy reach, he could only choose to focus on the beauty that existed. In the blink of an eye, he doesn't even have the qualification to watch from a distance, so he can only be as reserved as that, keep watch like that, and be affectionate like that.

One eye, one look back, a smile, a breath, how to understand lovesickness?
