Chapter 478 Could it be that she got dumped?
Liu Yun's gaze at Zi Su was so focused that it made Zi Su feel inexplicably uneasy.
"Is there... something on my face?"
Liu Yun suddenly realized that he had been staring at her the whole time, and quickly looked away, forcing a dry laugh, "N-nothing, I just saw you drinking so fast, I was afraid you... would get drunk."
"How could I possibly let myself get drunk?" Zisu laughed.
Liu Yun smiled, but could only use the smile to hide his embarrassment.
"Oh, right, I have something I want to give you." Liu Yun took out a small bag from his pocket and stuffed it into Zi Su's hand.
Zisu frowned slightly, her feelings suddenly becoming complicated.
"It's...what?"
"It's a phoenix! Take a look and see if you like it!" Liu Yun's eyes were full of anticipation, unable to hide her anxiety and excitement.
Zisu pursed her thin lips and subconsciously opened the bag.
Sure enough, it was a phoenix, carved so lifelike that it was painted with glossy, exquisite colors, and indescribably beautiful.
But she didn't speak; she just looked at the phoenix and gently ran her fingertips over it.
"Last time you said you didn't like eagles anymore, and I didn't know what you liked, so I carved a phoenix for you..."
"Are you implying that I want to rise in society and become a phoenix?" Zisu lowered her eyes and said softly.
"Wh-what?" Liu Yun was stunned on the spot. He didn't know how to understand these words for a moment.
What does this mean?
“You are the prince’s personal bodyguard. Bodyguards have official positions and are superior to others. As for me, I am just a maid in the Duke’s mansion. I am a slave and have a lowly status.”
Zisu tried hard to hide the sadness in her eyes, and when she looked up at Liuyun, her eyes were calm and indifferent.
"If I were to curry favor with you, wouldn't I be like a phoenix rising from the ashes? Lord Liuyun, I understand what you mean. I have no intention of currying favor with you. Please don't come looking for me again in the future."
She put the phoenix back into the small bag.
Liu Yun was eager to explain, but before he could find the right words, the phoenix had already been shoved back into his hands.
"Perilla..."
"My lord, I really don't want to curry favor with you, and I have no feelings for you whatsoever. Please don't make fun of me anymore. Please leave now."
Zisu left after saying this, turning around and leaving without looking back.
Liu Yun watched her resolute departure, his heart heavy, as if something had stabbed him, leaving him with an indescribable pain.
But he really didn't have that thought, so why did Zisu misunderstand? Did he say something wrong? Or was she unhappy because the phoenix carving wasn't very good?
A young woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; it is truly unfathomable.
But Zisu really ignored him.
With a heavy heart, Liu Yun returned to her seat in the Mo Wang Mansion.
To give the Duke's mansion a good reputation, all eight seats were filled today.
Ye Zi was not originally supposed to come, as she had official business to attend to, but the Prince insisted on sitting in the Duke's residence's seats. There was an empty seat here, and the Prince thought it didn't look good, so he immediately ordered someone to pull Ye Zi over as well.
When Liu Yun returned, their table was full of eight people again.
But Liu Yun seemed a bit off today, and Ye Zi was the first to notice: "Why aren't you eating? Why are you drinking alone? Are you in a bad mood?"
As soon as she said that, everyone at the table turned their attention to him.
When Xiao Shijiu saw the cup in his hand, he immediately laughed: "Could it be that you got dumped by some girl?"
