Chi Yue spoke, then walked away without looking back.
Fu Xingchuan stood at the roadside for a very long time. So long that the dawn began to break, only then did he manage to force a smile and laughing lightly, he got into his car and drove away.
Chi Yue returned to the Siheyuan but did not go back to her room, instead sitting in the courtyard until daylight.
Fu Hanyan opened her room door and was shocked to see Chi Yue sitting in the courtyard, "Sister-in-law, haven't you slept?"
After Chi Yue had sent a message to Fu Hanyan, Fu Hanyan had gone to sleep, so she did not know when Chi Yue had returned.
Seeing her sitting in the courtyard lost in thought, Fu Hanyan was worried something had happened.
At Fu Hanyan's words, Chi Yue stiffly turned her head, only then realizing how long she had been sitting there.
Her voice hoarse, she said, "I got back late, so I didn't go to sleep. Why didn't you sleep in a bit longer?"
