Kong Lizhen wasn't surprised at Jiang Jingheng's gentle demeanor, as if he was trying to make up for something he'd done wrong.
But the mistake had already been made. Just because he was being deferential, should they forgive him?
"Of course, we'll take good care of Yanyan. We don't need him pretending to care. Don't bother with him in the future," Kong Lizhen said irritably.
Kong Yanzi nodded, "Okay."
That night, Mu Yan didn't sleep well. In a daze, she heard Jiang Jingheng talking to her, but when she opened her eyes, the space next to her was empty, and she was in a strange room, nowhere near him.
Finally enduring until dawn, when Kong Lizhen came to see her in the morning, she noticed Mu Yan with dark circles under her eyes, looking sleepily.
She asked, "Didn't sleep well?"
Mu Yan pressed her lips together, "I have a bit of trouble sleeping in a new bed."
"It's okay. You'll get used to it after a few days," Kong Lizhen comforted.
Mu Yan looked at her, hesitant to speak.
