Duan Rong returned to Liu Shushan's hidden courtyard, and it was already late at night.
But Xiao Yu, Shen Mizi, Ximen Kankan, and Liu Shushan were still awake, sitting there waiting for him.
As soon as Duan Rong stepped into the courtyard, Xiao Yu greeted him with a concerned look. "Why are you so late?"
Duan Rong replied, "Got held up by something."
While speaking, Duan Rong gently squeezed Xiao Yu's hand as a gesture of comfort.
The two walked into the hall, and Ximen Kankan joked, "You finally came back! If you hadn't returned soon, your wife would have driven us out onto the streets to find you."
Xiao Yu laughed, "Don't talk nonsense, when did I say I'd drive you out onto the streets?"
Ximen Kankan said, "You didn't say it aloud, but you were thinking it."
Xiao Yu playfully scolded, "You seem to have some skill; do you possess mind-reading abilities?"
