Chen Yi's unexpected late return this time had likely truly worried the people of the Xiao Mansion.
So much so that when he came out after washing up and changing his clothes, Xiao Wan'er couldn't help but say a few words.
She started by explaining, "When Guanli and Huatang returned tonight, they waited and waited but saw no sign of you, so they came to find me."
Then, she distanced herself from the decision: "I figured you'd be fine, but Wuge was a little worried, so I was the one who sent Huatang and the others to look for you."
Xiao Wuge: ???
Xiao Wan'er ignored his look and continued with a reminder:
"Next time, remember to stick to the main roads. After all, you haven't been out of the mansion many times, and you've always had the mansion's Personal Guards with you. It's easy to get lost wandering the streets and alleys at night."
As she reached the end, her tone was tinged with a bit of lingering fear.
