Given Xiao Shiqing's alertness, if someone were to follow him, he would be able to detect it.
But today, perhaps he was too emotionally agitated, or perhaps the person following him posed no real threat, so he overlooked it.
As soon as he arrived upstairs and sat down, his mother sent someone to inquire the shopkeeper, and the answer was that the private room had been reserved five days ago, but the shopkeeper didn't know who it was.
Qu Fulan did not show her face when making the reservation. In this era of strict separation between men and women, how could she blatantly arrange a meeting with a man?
If it weren't for the need to speak clearly and sever ties, she wouldn't have met Xiao Shiqing at all.
Although she has regained her freedom now, if she doesn't clarify things with Xiao Shiqing, what if he causes trouble for the Pei Mansion afterward?
Qu Fulan wants to focus on her career, so she needs to eliminate potential risks in advance.
