Since Mu Yan ascended the throne, the crisis of the Bai Family being suppressed by Si Yun was resolved, and Bai Chen returned to Prince Zhen Nan Mansion with Prince Zhen Nan's wife.
Bai Chen hurried to the Regent Prince Mansion, where Liu Xi was still staying.
Liu Xi was distributing meat in the courtyard to Little Black, Little White, and three puppies. In a few days, they would be sent into the palace by the Hidden Guard.
She petted the heads of the puppies, who made contented whimpering sounds as they drank milk.
Liu Xi stepped into the small kitchen and had just washed her hands when she saw Bai Chen approaching briskly.
Liu Xi wiped the table with a cloth, pretending not to see him.
Ever since they experienced life and death together, she found herself often thinking of Bai Chen.
Bai Chen's nonchalant demeanor had been overlooked, and in her heart, he had become reliable.
