"Welcome home, darling," Ruo Xi greeted, setting her tea aside and standing up to meet him. She leaned in for a kiss on the cheek, her eyes filled with affection. "How was your day? Where were you?"

Jiao Long hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much he should reveal. He had always been cautious about sharing too much with Ruo Xi, given their complicated past. He considered whether he should be honest about his meeting with Pan An and Wang Lei or if he should keep it to himself.

"It was a long day," Jiao Long replied, choosing his words carefully. "I was out with a friend, just catching up."
