Qin Huan looked toward the door, staring blankly long after he had left.
She didn't know how long she had been staring, with the words "for you" still echoing in her ears.

Arriving at Huo Mansion, Huo Jinnan raised his hand to knock.
Uncle Guan answered the door and, seeing Huo Jinnan, said, "Second Young Master."
He stepped aside.
Huo Jinnan looked down briefly, switched to slippers, and asked, "Where is he?"
Uncle Guan replied, "The old master is in the study."
Huo Jinnan said nothing more and headed straight for the stairs.
Uncle Guan looked at Huo Jinnan's retreating figure, reflecting on the events of that day, and then thought about the severance agreement he saw after accompanying the old master back from the hospital, and heaved a sigh.
...
Reaching the study and noticing the door ajar, Huo Jinnan knocked.
The old master lay in an armchair, his eyes closed, obviously exhausted to the extreme.
