"Promise me, you'll never leave me." Where Ye Jiu couldn't see, Sikong Mo's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
"Okay." Ye Jiu foolishly hadn't realized yet that he had been tricked.
After Sikong Mo dropped her off at the inn, Ye Jiu returned to her room, immediately shut the door, and threw herself on the bed with a wail.
How could she...
...have simply agreed to Sikong Mo like that?
And that beast, how could he flirt so shamelessly when she was still so young!
Thud, thud, thud
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by Ye Wenzheng's concerned voice, "Little aunt, are you alright?"
Ye Jiu quickly lowered her hands from her face and adjusted her expression, though her voice was still a bit panicked, "I'm fine."
Rising quickly, Ye Jiu hurried to open the door, only to see Ye Wenzheng standing there with a street urchin.
"We'll talk later; take him to take a bath and change his clothes first," Ye Jiu instructed.
"Okay." Ye Wenzheng led the street urchin away.
