Ye Xiao glanced at the workers moving furniture into the manor but didn't think much of it, and pulled Qiao Si inside.
"At this time, those old folks at home should already be asleep. If we're careful, they shouldn't find out."
Ye Xiao led Qiao Si towards her small courtyard, peering around anxiously, afraid of being discovered.
Those old folks were still not very agreeable to her engagement with Qiao Si and didn't like him. If they found out she brought Qiao Si back, they'd chase him away no matter what.
"Can't we stop sneaking around like this? We're getting engaged, it's not like we're having an affair. What are you afraid of?"
Qiao Si didn't want to sneak around like this. He knew the Ye family's elders couldn't fully accept him yet, but sneaking around wasn't a long-term solution. They couldn't continue sneaking around after the engagement.
"You don't understand; this is what makes it fun."
Ye Xiao turned back with a mischievous grin at Qiao Si.
