Just like that, Su Yun turned his back to Lu Yuankai, holding a book in his hand, seemingly concentrating on reading, but his heart was in a mess and he couldn't calm down. His eyes were fixed on the pages of the book, but he didn't read a single word for a long time.

Lu Yuankai sat quietly beside the bed, his eyes always gently fixed on Su Yun, as if he would be satisfied just by looking at her like this.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuankai looked at Su Yun's slightly stiff back, finally sighed softly, and said softly: "Yun'er, I know you are still angry with me and blame me for coming here so rashly, but I really can't let you go."

Su Yun paused as he turned the pages of the book. "I'm not a child. You don't need to worry about me."

Lu Yuankai frowned slightly, his voice full of heartache, "I just like you, I just want to see you all the time, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

Su Yun snorted coldly, "Hmph"

Lu Yuankai laughed, and his laughter was particularly clear in the silent night. "Yun'er, I am sincere to you! I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"

Su Yun listened to his words, and a warm current flowed through her heart. Her originally strong defenses seemed to loosen a little unconsciously. But she still said stubbornly, "Who asked you to go through fire and water? You and I should not have anything to do with each other. Your entanglement will only make things more complicated."

Lu Yuankai moved closer to Su Yun and said cautiously, "Yun'er, I know that you only have your husband in your heart now, but who can say for sure about matters of the heart? I just hope that you can give me a chance to treat you well. Even if it's just like now, quietly accompanying you, I will feel happy."

Su Yun did not refute again, but remained silent, and the room became quiet again for a while.

After a while, Lu Yuankai seemed to remember something, took out a delicate little box from his arms, handed it to Su Yun, and said with a smile: "Yun'er, this is a hairpin for you!"

Su Yun looked up at the box, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it. When he opened it, he saw a white magnolia hairpin that was even more exquisite than the one he had seen during the day. The hairpin was not only carved in great detail, but also inlaid with several small pearls. It sparkled with warm light under the candlelight, which was very beautiful.

She couldn't help but let out a soft "Ah", her eyes full of surprise, but she quickly restrained her expression and handed the box back to Lu Yuankai, "I can't accept it, it's too valuable."

Lu Yuankai quickly held her hand and pushed the box back to her. "Yun'er, no matter how valuable this hairpin is, it can't compare to the weight you hold in my heart. If you like it, just accept it. Just consider it... just consider it as my apology for my recklessness today, okay?"

Su Yun looked at his sincere and pleading eyes, and her heart was tangled. In the end, she slowly accepted the box and whispered, "Then... then thank you."

When Lu Yuankai saw her accept it, he immediately smiled. His smile made people feel his joy even through the mask. "Yun'er, as long as you like it, as long as you are happy, everything I do is worth it."

Su Yun held the box, feeling a mixture of emotions. She had never imagined that this man, whom she once hated and feared, would now treat her so attentively. As she thought about it, her tone softened unconsciously. "You, ah, are really... unpredictable."

Lu Yuankai gently held Su Yun's hand. Seeing that she did not break free this time, he felt even happier. "Yun'er, you just need to know that my feelings for you are true. There are still many days to come, and I will slowly let you understand me."

Su Yun lowered her head slightly, a faint blush staining her cheeks. That night, the two of them sat like this by the bed, talking softly. The tense atmosphere of confrontation had long since disappeared, replaced by a unique warmth and tranquility. It was as if this small room had become their own warm world, and the chaos outside no longer had anything to do with them...

As the night deepened, Lu Yuankai looked at Su Yun, who looked a little sleepy, and stood up reluctantly. "Yun'er, you are tired. Go to bed early. I should leave too, otherwise your maids will wake up and see me tomorrow and make a fuss. But don't worry, I will come to see you again."

Su Yun nodded. For some reason, she was reluctant to let him leave. She said softly, "Then...be careful on the road."

Lu Yuankai's eyes were full of surprise. He didn't expect Su Yun to care about him. He nodded repeatedly, "Well, I will. You have to take good care of yourself too."

After saying that, he looked at Su Yun deeply again, then turned around and left quietly.

Su Yun watched him leave, gently stroking the hairpin box in her hand, her mind awash with thoughts. This night together was like a stone dropped into the tranquil lake of her heart, causing ripples. She had no idea where this unexpected feeling would take her in the future...
