When most of the guests had already left, and the mansion became quieter, Yue Ning slipped into Huo Feng's room.
The faint smell of smoke lingered in the air. He stood by the window with a cigarette between his fingers, the fire glowing in the dim light.
As if sensing her presence, he immediately extinguished the cigarette
"Have a seat," he gestured to the sofa, and she immediately took her seat.
Huo Feng didn't join her. Instead, he remained standing, his tall figure outlined by the faint moonlight radiating through the window. The silence stretched, heavy and unspoken..
"Yue Chen said something," Yue Ning broke the silence. Her voice was low, but steady.
Huo Feng's eyes flickered over to her. "What did she say?" His expression was unreadable as he waited for her answer.
Yue Ning hesitated for a while. Yue Chen's earlier words echoed in her mind, the smugness behind her voice replayed.
'Host, you need not waste time. Tell him about it.' The system pressed.
