Jiang Qingli slipped into the car, and the gazes of the two males fell upon her.
She knew they had both heard but put on an innocent face. "What is it?"
Baili Jing gently pushed her to sit beside him and said in a soft, gentle voice, "Sweetheart, according to the schedule, we should be heading back on Tuesday."
He wasn't feeling that magnanimous.
Yuan Shiyao disagreed. "Mr. Baili, on matters like this, it's best to listen to our female master."
Baili Jing looked at him, offering a helpful reminder. "Shiyao, I believe the court's vehicle is in the front courtyard."
"The court's vehicle has already left." Yuan Shiyao pressed his lips together, his eyelashes trembling. "My apologies. I misspoke and upset Mr. Baili. I'll just head back on my own..."
This place was in the complete opposite direction of the military base. It would take him until the next day to walk back.
