Chapter 159, Heartache for Her (Update 1)

The journey was rather oppressive, and the carriage sped along quickly. By the time they reached Xiaohe Village, it was already dark, the stars twinkling in the sky. Xie Zhinuan got out of the carriage, her legs trembling.

"Thank you so much, Young Master Li!" Xie Zhinuan took the initiative to speak.

Li Hengyi responded indifferently, "You're welcome."

Xie Zhinuan nodded slightly and began walking towards her home. A lantern hung at the gate, its amber glow waiting for someone's return. Xie Zhinuan looked at it and a smile appeared on her face.

The howls of the gray wolf and the excited barks of Routuan echoed from the courtyard, tinged with joy. Xie Zhinuan felt a warmth in her heart. This feeling was still very pleasant.

"Miss, Silly Girl, you're back!" Aunt Chen opened the door.

"Mhm!"

Xie Zhinuan responded.

The three pets already pushed past Aunt Chen and jumped on her.

Rubbing against everything, they whined eagerly.
