This phone call was clearly what she had been looking forward to the most in these days.

But ever since she found out about the child, she has been feeling uneasy.

Now when I suddenly see an incoming call, I am a little afraid to answer it.

Therefore, Lu Yanjue's phone rang for a long time, and she didn't pick up until it was almost over.

"Hello, Monsieur Count?"

Jiang Ruoli's voice was a little tense.

Lu Yanjue didn't hear it, and only responded: "It's me."

Jiang Ruoli said "hmm" and replied, "Yeah."

Lu Yanjue raised his eyebrows. Just a word? Nothing else?

Didn’t you say you missed him?

Sure enough, this was just something his mother made up, right?

Lu Yanjue found it funny, but he didn't care. He quickly said, "I'm sorry for the last few days. I had something urgent to do and couldn't get back to have dinner with you."

The man's voice was as gentle and steady as always.

Jiang Ruoli heard this and felt a sour feeling in his heart...

Logically speaking, since he hid such a big thing from her, she should be angry, indifferent, or even ignore him.

However, the moment I heard the other person's voice, I didn't have any thoughts at all.

Jiang Ruoli closed his eyes and told himself that he shouldn't be so pretentious.

The Count has done well enough.

At least, the compensation agreed upon at the beginning has not stopped.

Besides, she herself was also responsible for the accident.

So… just face him as usual.

Once she recovers from her injuries, she will leave here and no longer cause him trouble.

Since he is not interested in me, if I stay here because of this, it will seem like I am being ignorant.

After thinking it through, Jiang Ruoli slowly exhaled and finally spoke normally, "It's okay. I already know that something happened to the royal family. Mr. Earl, are you okay? I lost contact these days, is there anything dangerous?"

Lu Yanjue calmly said, "I'm fine. Although things were a bit tricky before, they have been resolved. I'm currently doing some finishing work, and I can go back after it's done."

Jiang Ruoli said, "Well, that's good!"

She had been worried these past few days. The dream she had that night was so real. She was afraid...

Lu Yanjue turned to ask: "What about you? Have you taken good care of yourself these days? Are you feeling better?"

Jiang Ruoli quickly replied, "Yes, Aunt Su Yi has been watching me. I am also a medical student, so I know how to recuperate. I have gotten much better now, and I will probably recover soon. Then... I won't have to trouble the Earl to take care of me!"

When she said this, her tone was deliberately relaxed!

Lu Yanjue always felt that these words sounded strange and inexplicably distant.

But he didn't think much about it and said, "No trouble."

Jiang Ruoli exclaimed, "Ah!"

Lu Yanjue's gentle voice came, adding, "You have never been a problem to me!"

In his opinion, Jiang Ruoli was very sensible and well-behaved. He would do things by himself if he could, and he would still work hard even when he was injured.

Although she has people serving her, she is not the least bit spoiled and is a very serious girl.

What Lu Yanjue didn’t say was that although he was in the royal family these days, he always felt that something was missing in his heart.

Later I gradually realized that it was because I had gotten used to her presence in the past few days.

I felt uncomfortable when she was suddenly gone.

It was also at that time that Lu Yanjue realized that Jiang Ruoli indeed had a place in his heart.

Jiang Ruoli's heart was in turmoil when he heard this.

But soon he felt helpless again.

The Earl always liked to say things that could be misunderstood. She knew that there was no other meaning behind it and he was just making up for it.

Jiang Ruoli sighed in his heart, but quickly cheered up and said, "Anyway, there's no problem on my side. Mr. Earl, don't worry. Just focus on handling things over there."

Lu Yanjue said in a gentle voice: "Okay, I will solve it as soon as possible. Wait for me at home. You can call me if you have any follow-up questions. I won't lose contact again."

Jiang Ruoli replied softly: "Okay."

After the two chatted for a while.

Lu Yanjue hung up the phone.

In order to avoid being upset, Jiang Ruoli simply did not go to the study and asked Su Yi to take him to the pavilion outside to read.

Aunt Su Yi found it quite strange that Miss Ruoli would go to the study room before.

Why haven’t you been there these days? Are you feeling bored?

She didn't know that Jiang Ruoli didn't dare to go.

As soon as I got there, I couldn't help but think about the list on the table.

Whenever she thought of the list, her heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Escaping like this could be considered as a reconciliation with herself!

……

In the afternoon.

Tang Tang called and asked cheerfully, "What are you doing, baby Lili?"

Jiang Ruoli smiled and said, "Reading a book!"

Tang Tang couldn't help but sigh, "I really admire you. You still work hard at this time. Are you ready to die? Are you going to let people live?"

Jiang Ruoli joked with her and deliberately said, "Well, you are so free, just to get you."

Tang Tang said angrily: "Damn it, I feel embarrassed to be lazy when you are like this!"

With Tang Tang's humor, Jiang Ruoli felt much better.

At this time, Tang Tang suddenly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, is there still no news from Mr. Earl?"

Ever since the king’s death was exposed in the news, many subsequent events have been blocked.

Nowadays, even the media doesn’t know what is going on with the royal family.

As for Jiang Ruoli, there has been no news.

She also hopes that her best friend and the Earl will have a good ending?

What a great couple!

I hope nothing unexpected happens.

Jiang Ruoli said quickly: "It seems to have been resolved. Mr. Earl contacted me today and should be back in two days."

When Tang Tang heard this, she was filled with joy, "That's great! My Lili finally doesn't have to stay alone in the empty house anymore!"

Jiang Ruoli found it funny after hearing this, "Girl, why do you like to say such things?"

Tang Tang joked with a smile, "I'm telling the truth! I was chatting with Huhu a few days ago, and he said that my aunt and uncle have a very good relationship and will get married soon."

Jiang Ruoli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You believe what that little guy said?"

Tang Tang said in a very serious tone, "I believe it, how can I not believe it? Huhu is very smart, and sometimes she is more accurate than us in judging things. Besides, you and the Earl are a perfect match in terms of talent and appearance! I am optimistic about you!"

Jiang Ruoli shook his head helplessly. He really didn't want to continue discussing this topic with her, so he threatened: "If you continue to talk about this, I will hang up and won't talk to you anymore."

Tang Tang immediately stopped him and said, "No, no, no, can't I say something else?"

Then, I actually started talking to her about my work.

Just halfway through the conversation.

Suddenly a phone call came in.

Jiang Ruoli took a look and saw that it was Uncle He calling.

Her heart skipped a beat. Her father hadn't contacted her since she was discharged from the hospital. He must be dealing with family matters. Uncle He hadn't contacted her either.
