Looking at Ling Yunshu's angry face, Ling Chuxia's eyes also flared with a touch of panic. She didn't want her elder sister to misunderstand her, but she couldn't disclose the reason she needed to stay—not right now. After all, there was not a single clue about the family member she was searching for. Voicing her concerns might not convince her sister, who could possibly think she was just making excuses.
Ling Chuxia's eyes darted about anxiously, her mind racing for ways to persuade Ling Yunshu. Suddenly, there was some noise at the door, as if someone was unlocking it.
Who could it be at this late hour? Chuxia frowned slightly, and then it hit her—could it be Brother Xuan?
Sure enough, the door swung open quickly, and Bai Yixuan's handsome and gentle face came into view of both Ling Chuxia and Ling Yunshu.
