The trusted aide's playful teasing made Zhao Zun's ears slightly red, but he still maintained a dignified expression on his face.
He was about to say something else when the corner of his eye suddenly caught a familiar figure in the distance.
Han Lei had somehow already gotten up, led by Jin Ju, walking toward the dining hall.
She clearly heard what Zhao Zun just said, her cheeks blushing and a slight shyness in her eyes.
Zhao Zun's heart tightened, remembering the spring scene in the bathtub last night, his ears instantly grew even redder.
He quickly tucked the Love Lock into his chest, coughed to appear calm, and turned to the trusted aide, saying, "Alright, disperse now, go about your business."
The trusted aide dispersed with chuckles, throwing meaningful glances at Han Lei before leaving.
Han Lei felt even more uneasy under their gaze, lowered her head, and quickly walked to Zhao Zun's side, asking softly, "Zhao Zun, why did you suddenly..."
