Chapter 163 He Must Be Mad

Silence spread through the courtyard drenched in nightfall.

Wen Wanzhi's ears were filled with the sound of her own heartbeat, deafeningly loud.

After more than three years, over a thousand days, the man she had once deeply loved now stood cautiously a few meters away.

Bao Yancheng's hair was no longer impeccably groomed, having gained a touch of desolation and casualness. The perpetual dark circles under his eyes made him look exhausted, and even his usually fit triangle-shaped body seemed somewhat emaciated.

Bao Yancheng... he seemed to have aged a lot all at once.

Wen Wanzhi's mind went blank, utterly unable to think of anything else to say.

Reason drove her to leave this place as quickly as possible, to escape the man's intense gaze, but instinct kept her feet firmly in place.

Bao Yancheng didn't seem intent on speaking either. His burning gaze rested on Wen Wanzhi, watching her almost obsessively, unwilling to even blink.
