Appease

On this particular evening, Ye Wanwan's mind was in disarray, unsure of what steps to take.

For now, she could use her recovery as an excuse to avoid meeting Murong Xingrui. However, such an excuse wouldn't hold forever. Besides, Murong Xingrui might eventually come to visit, and then they would have to face each other.

The mere thought of this troubled Ye Wanwan deeply.

Silence hung heavy in the air.

Neither Ye Yikun nor Ye Wanwan dared to break the silence, each lost in their own turmoil.

Up to this point, Ye Wanwan remained uncertain about her grandfather's thoughts and feared he might have given up on her. She worried that her actions had tarnished the Ye family's reputation, jeopardizing her standing within it.
