Chapter 827: Goodbye Like This

Ning Xia felt as though she had slept for a long time; when she awoke again, it seemed to be early evening outside, with the setting sun casting slanted rays and a faint orange glow lingering on the horizon.

She picked up her phone to check the time—it was already past six o'clock.

She had actually slept for such a long time...

Ning Xia sat up from the bed, walked into the bathroom, cupped some cold water to wash her face, and finally dispelled all traces of sleepiness.

Her heart trembled slightly, and her steps involuntarily halted.

The butler noticed her first, smiling as he said, "Miss Ning, you're awake? Hungry? Dinner is ready, and we can start eating whenever you are."

Ning Xia returned a faint smile, "Why didn't you wake me up for lunch?"
