Qingcheng.
When Qiao Rui returned to Qingcheng, it was already late at night.
She sent Pei Liyan a message to let him know she had arrived safely in Qingcheng and went straight to the villa.
Uncle Feng and Mrs. Feng had already prepared a late-night snack to welcome Qiao Rui back.
Just as Qiao Rui sat down, she received a call from Pei Liyan.
Uncle Feng and Mrs. Feng quickly stepped out to give Qiao Rui some space.
"Sneaking away without giving me a chance to see you off?" Pei Liyan's hoarse voice came through.
Qiao Rui smiled lightly, "Haven't we already said our goodbyes?"
Pei Liyan was momentarily taken aback, recalling her initiative before leaving Liancheng.
It indeed made him quite happy.
"Mm, if that was a goodbye, it was certainly quite ceremonial," Pei Liyan said with a smile.
Qiao Rui blushed a little but calmly said, "As long as you liked it."
