Yan Xun froze. He could not see the young lady's expression, only hearing her words. He let go of her hand slowly. Either she did not understand or she might not have taken this matter into consideration.
Yan Xun nodded silently, "Okay then. You be careful yourself."
Chu Qiao nodded in reply. "Don't worry. As for the banquet later, I will not follow you there. You're alone, remember to be extra careful."
As she turned to walk out, Yan Xun's voice suddenly echoed deeply from behind, "AhChu."
The young lady was dazed and she stopped in her tracks.
"Anybody can betray me or leave me, but not you."
Chu Qiao did not reply. She stood at her position silently. Then, she pulled the door open and exited the room.
Yan Xun closed his eyes slowly and leaned on his chair. He muttered to himself, "If you left, I'd be left with nothing."
