Xiao Yu felt a lightness on her body as Gong Ting had already gotten up and left. After a while, the sound of an engine was heard outside. Xiao Yu hugged a cushion and leaned on the sofa, gasping heavily.
The engine sound gradually faded away. She buried her face in the cushion, feeling as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, devoid of any strength.
Aunt Liu had heard them quarreling outside the door earlier. Now, seeing Gong Ting had left, she came out and waved away the maids who were watching the commotion. She brought a cup of hot water to Xiao Yu's side, "Miss Su, have a cup of hot water to calm your nerves."
Xiao Yu lifted her head and took the cup from Aunt Liu. She looked down at the rippling water and, perhaps due to some unknown reason, mist began to blur her vision. "Aunt Liu, I didn't mean to make him angry. I just have no choice."
