The situation turned out to be a little bit better than what he had imagined, although the current situation was not any better.

Originally he had thought that he will be sentenced to death, but now it looked like the death penalty was just postponed.

Xie Yan ignored him for the past few days, and even avoided looking at him, but he never displayed apparent repulsion. Sometime he even called Shu Nian to make black tea for him in the morning. Shu Nian thought thoroughly and didn't not give up, as he never asked much from Xie Yan.

However Xie Yan began to frequently [1] returned home late at night.

[T/N: [1] 夜不归宿 is an idiom that basically means to frequently going out to have fun until late at night.]

Xie Yan was never the kind of person that thinks with his lower part. Although he could be considered as someone that didn't have self-control, but due to his high taste and extremely fastidious behavior, there're only a few women that caught his eye. His severe OCD, coupled with slight perfectionism, hence it's definitely impossible to tame him. His personal life was considered to be unusually untainted out of the group of [2] rich young masters.

[T/N: [2] 世家 means well-known rich families.]

However, that kind of Xie Yan was quite busy lately with dating countless of beautiful ladies, and then will return home in pent up annoyance.

Although Shu Nian felt the current Xie Yan was appalling, however Xie Feng couple had just went to France, and would not be back in a short period. Actually, even if they were home, Xie Yan would still ignore them.

Besides he also thought that he really was not qualified to preach Xie Yan.

In actuality, he did not even have a chance to say anything.

In the evening, Shu Nian was at home and sat in the living room while reading Marcel Proust's《In Search of Lost Time》. To sum it up, the novel that consist of 7th volumes did not have any exciting plots, no continuity, didn't even have a progress, climax, and conclusion. Moreover it was intermittently mixed with unexpected emotions, discussion, poetry, and usually an average person would stop reading a long time ago, but Shu Nian was a person with a surprisingly good patience, hence he kept on reading while hoping Xie Yan to return home, and the night went by in a silence.

He kept on shifting around, and suddenly remembered when he was at the company today and heard something about Marcel Proust that was told by a secretary who had a Master of Arts degree  when they had a conversation.

"Ah, you are talking about that immoral man?"

"...What, what do you mean by immoral?"

"You don't know? He had a relationship with his butler. He's gay."
