Chapter 20_1

In the afternoon, under the influence of the sunlight, the earth warmed up.

There was a sound from the second-floor hallway, and Qianning, who had been restlessly waiting in the hall for most of the day, immediately looked in the direction of the noise. Today she hadn't dared to go to school on her own but chose to stay in the hall waiting for Beigong Cang's appearance.

The sound coming from the second floor was indeed Beigong Cang. He hadn't come downstairs all morning and had just walked from his room to the study, closing the door behind him.

Qianning immediately rose from the sofa and quickly went up to the second-floor study. Although she was somewhat afraid to face him, and could even feel her heart pounding wildly, he was her only opportunity to read books.

Qianning still mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

"Come in!" His voice came from inside the study.
