Chapter 190: The Wasteland of the Storm (4)

The tapping on the door was neither light nor forceful, a round and crisp sound that seemed to ripple outward in circles like waves.

Upon opening the door to find Huan Yuan, Chu Yu was somewhat surprised, but after a mere moment's pause, he quickly stepped aside, "Please come in, Princess."

Once seated inside, a glance at Chu Yu's nails showed a tinge of blue, likely from the cold wind on her walk, so he pushed the brass hand warmer on the table towards her to warm her hands.

Chu Yu nodded in thanks and unceremoniously grasped it. Her body slightly hunched, she placed her hands flat on the table and seemed at a loss for what to say.

Chu Yu's unexpected visit made Huan Yuan feel slightly uneasy. He wasn't initially aware of the tunnel digging plan, but being clever, after seeing Amman and Liu Sang frequent Chu Yu's place and the digging of ponds everywhere in the mansion, he roughly guessed what Chu Yu was up to.
