Pleading for him

Mr. Mu's request stumped Li Caiyi. The older man looked at her pleadingly, as though she was the last resort he had. Her heart softened because the middle-aged man had always treated her well since childhood. 

"These days, the Young Master's health has deteriorated, and it's because he had trouble sleeping. However, I heard from the Young Master before that he could be peaceful when Miss Caiyi was beside him."

Li Caiyi shifted her glance to Meng Renshu. He appeared as if he could collapse at any time. She bit her lips again before hesitatingly saying, "I think it will be better if you take Brother Renshu home as soon as possible. As for your request, I'm sorry, but I can't do it."

"I'm sorry if this is presumptuous of me to ask, but did Miss Caiyi and Young Master have a dispute before this?"

"No, it's not like that." Li Caiyi replied while averting her eyes. Technically, they weren't fighting per se, but they weren't getting along well, either.
