Chapter 0136 I Get Carsick

Ye Wudao had only intended to come in for a cup of tea before leaving, but as they spoke, more than an hour had already passed, and it was deep into the night, the world outside quiet.

After all, it was late, and since Shen Xueman was still nominally single, it wouldn't look good for Ye Wudao to stay too long and fuel gossip. He stood up, ready to bid farewell and leave.

"Miss Shen, it's gotten quite late, and I should head back now. Don't worry, there shouldn't be any danger tonight," Ye Wudao said as he stood up to speak to her.

Shen Xueman felt unexpectedly reluctant when she saw Ye Wudao about to leave. It wasn't that she harbored any other thoughts; after all, she knew that a relationship with Ye Wudao was impossible. Not only was she a widow, but she was also much older than Ye Wudao.

Her reluctance was purely emotional, perhaps because the past year had been too painful, and Ye Wudao was the only one who could understand her feelings.
