Guess

After dinner, I drank tea and enjoyed the scenery in the drawing-room on the second floor. Jing Ni and Qu Hao came to look for me.

Qu Hao held Jing Ni's hand. Jing Ni felt a little shy, so I couldn't help but smile.

I liked to see happy couples.

Seeing Jing Ni with Qu Hao and Mai Qi with my little uncle, I felt a sense of comfort. I had already lived for two lifetimes and liked to see happy endings. After all, everyone had suffered too much.

"Where are my little uncle and Jing Tian?" I asked Qu Hao as I poured tea for them.

Qu Hao took the teacup. "The two of them have gone to check the defenses. They also have to figure out where Gu Nian might set the traps for us."

I laughed. "Gu Nian won't harm us. There's no need to be so nervous."
