But the butler was cold to everyone, utterly unapproachable.
Yet, this butler called her Miss Jian and personally showed her to the room she'd be staying in, leading Aunt Ping to believe that the butler had affections for the young and beautiful Yufei.
That's why she targeted her everywhere, pushed her out, and vowed to drive Yufei away.
Little did she know that the butler treated Yufei differently solely because of Tianling...
She only found this out later, yet knowing it was of no use.
Yufei never felt any sympathy for Aunt Ping's departure.
...
Everyone had left, leaving only the two of them in the living room.
Yufei remained kneeling, her vision filled by Tianling's crossed legs in front of her.
His hand stroked her head repeatedly, almost as if he thought she was a pet dog.
Yufei raised her head, her gaze calm and met his, "May I stand up now?"
Tianling's eyes were icy as he responded irrelevantly, "Do you realize your mistake?"
