When Xu Qi reached his quarters, he found Ling Lian already settling in, her belongings neatly arranged next to his. Even the bed was neatly arranged which made it appear more inviting than normal.
She turned to greet him with a bright smile that instantaneously dispelled the weariness accumulated from their journey.
Seeing Ling Lian there warmed up his heart as the feeling of returning home flooded his chest. Due to that, he couldn't help but run up to her right away, pulling her in his arms.
"You're back. What did Elder Sun want with you?" Ling Lian asked as she leaned into his embrace with a pleasant grin, her eyes filled with curiosity. "I won't be surprised if an Elder like her eventually falls for you.
"You won't be surprised but I'm sure you'll be jealous if it happens."
Xu Qi showed her the spatial bag he received which he still had yet to open as he shrugged, not denying her words.
