"Ning Xi," Lin Feng called calmly, acknowledging her presence.
"I... I'm here," Ning Xi replied softly, biting her lower lip as she tried to suppress the nervousness in her heart.
Ever since she had received Lin Feng's letter, her mind had been in complete turmoil.
The message had been frustratingly vague.
It simply asked her to come to his study after nightfall, with no further explanation.
There was no mention of the reason, no hint of what awaited her.
Because of that, countless thoughts had raced through her mind during the entire journey.
Could he... finally intend to make me his woman tonight?
The mere possibility made her heart beat wildly.
Now that she stood inside the quiet courtyard, she carefully glanced around.
There wasn't another woman in sight.
The spacious residence was peaceful, illuminated only by the gentle moonlight and the warm glow of several spirit lamps.
It was just the two of them.
Seeing that, the hope inside her immediately soared.
