He really didn't like her being so ambiguous, but seeing her clearly exhausted yet trying to force a smile to comfort him, he could only take a deep sigh.
"Alright. Considering that you're already very tired today... I'll ask Xia Zuo to take you there."
Saying this, he placed a finger to Shi Nian's lips, stopping her resistance with his eyes: "I will make sure to instruct him to only drive to the gate, not to go inside or get out of the car, to avoid disturbing your mother as much as possible. Would this be acceptable?"
She lowered her head and smiled slightly, saying "Okay."
He held her hand and personally escorted her downstairs.
The servants along the way were slightly surprised upon seeing them, then solemnly bowed deeply, calling out, "Sir, Miss."
Xia Zuo had the car ready and waiting, and he held her hand as he helped her into the car.
Before closing the car door, he suddenly bent down, placing both hands beside her, and gazed at her intensely.
