Chapter 92 - Reaction

"You're saying you almost did it with Nian Zhen because she didn't know that repaying someone was and you thought she was giving you a massage?" asked Song Liya.

Surprisingly, there was no anger displayed on Liya's face which startled Yingyi. Yu Yingyi started to explain everything that happened, down to the last detail.

During the entire explanation, Song Liya kept a straight face, her entire demeanor was calm.

After Yu Yingyi explained everything, the room was filled with silence. But it wasn't awkward or anything, it was a normal silence as if they were in the library.

"Liya, do you have anything to say?" Yu Yingyi questioned, feeling startled that Liya had been quiet the entire time. "Is it bothering you that much?"

Finally, Song Liya spoke up. "How could it bother me? You belong to me only, if there's a next time, one word, and that girl won't see tomorrow."

"Ah," Yu Yingyi made a quiet noise of realization. Song Liya was never angry from the start, she knew the difference between her place and Nian Zhen's place. It was simply a form of superiority.

"Anyway, let's switch the topic," said Yu Yingyi, not wanting to talk about this any further. "How was the talk with your mother?"

Song Liya's face relaxed. "She's getting better, Jia Xin Yi is helping her mental health. Apparently, she's been under extreme stress for a few years without any help."

Yu Yingyi's face showed a bit of sadness. "I see...well, with Jia Xin Yi by her side. I'm sure she'll get better in no time."

"I know, it's just...I still feel a bit worried about her."

Yu Yingyi smiled, despite everything her mother has done to her in the past, she still loves her mother dearly. Yingyi got up and sat next to Liya on the bed, her head laying on Liya's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be fine. I'd be more worried if they're not together by now," said Yu Yingyi.

"Actually, I talked to them about that."

"Really? What did they say?"

"No comment was what they said. I couldn't find out anything since they're both not saying a word about their relationship," Song Liya replied. "Since we're on this topic, how has your mother been?"

Yu Yingyi sat up and leaned back, her arms keeping her up. "I don't know, but I'm sure she's doing well. I sent her quite a lot of money after all."

"I see, since you haven't seen her in a while. Why don't you go visit her?"

Yu Yingyi thought about it for a moment, she was sure her mother was caught up with everything that has happened so far. But she was worried about her mother's reaction to everything.

"I would, but I'm worried about what she would say," said Yu Yingyi, now she was the one having mother problems.

"Don't worry about that, she's your mother, she'll support you all the way," Song Liya reassured. "Look how the roles are reversed, I'm the one comforting you about your mother now."

Yu Yingyi chuckled, it was truly ironic. "Thank you, I'll visit her another day, my week still hasn't been cleared yet. There are still things to I have to finish."

"Then I guess we're both the same, my mother still needs me, I guess Jia Xin Yi isn't all she needs by her side," said Song Liya.

"Of course, after all, you're her daughter. She needs her own family member to be with her, Jia Xin Yi is just another important piece to everything."

"I know. Also, make sure you don't let Nian Zhen touch you ever again, she has to learn what's normal and what's isn't,' said Song Liya.

"I know, I'm sure Mei Xiang is teaching her the basics. For now, let's go to sleep, we both have a long day ahead of us."

With that said, the two went to sleep on a peaceful night. Song Liya's arms were wrapped around Yingyi's waist and Yingyi was snuggled in Liya's chest. The top of her head nearly touching the bottom of Liya's chin.

When the morning finally came, Yu Yingyi woke up the see that Liya was already gone from her side. Looking at the time, it was already past ten and it was slowly ticking towards eleven.

"I must've been tired to wake up this late," Yu Yingyi muttered as she gulped down a cup of water. "Haa, that was refreshing."

Today was going to be a busy day for Yingyi. As she was walking towards the city, there seemed to be more people. Not that it wasn't already crowded, but the citizens seemed to be gathered near an area.

Although her curiosity was urging her to see what was going on, Yu Yingyi decided to ignore it since she had more important things to do than being distracted because of what the citizens were curious about.

The bell rang making her presence in the shop known as Yu Yingyi called out, "Mei Xiang! I'm here!"

Yu Yingyi waited a minute, but there was no reply coming from Mei Xiang. It was unusual for Mei Xiang to not be here around this time since it was when she was working.

"Ah, Yingyi," Wang Shu's voice called out to her. "If you're looking for Mei Xiang, you'll find her at the place where the citizens are gathered. The line is huge."

Yu Yingyi tilted her head in confusion, what did he mean by the line was huge and what did Mei Xiang have to do with the crowd?

"What're you talking about Wang Shu?"

"I think it'll be better if you check it out for yourself, she showed it to me earlier this morning when there was no one and it was shocking."

Although Yu Yingyi wanted to talk to Mei Xiang, it seems she was where all the citizens were gathered at which made her even more reluctant to go. She didn't want to weave through everyone and get squished in between people.

"Don't worry," said Wang Shu. "You're the princess, just ask them to make way and they'll do it since you're important to them."

Yu Yingyi was started that Wang Shu knew what she was thinking and answered, "Alright, fine, if that doesn't work, I'm pinning the blame on you."

"Hey! Wait! What does an old man have to do with this?"

Yu Yingyi didn't bother to answer Wang Shu, she wanted to see what was going on.

"Hopefully, the citizens would really make way."
