Zhou Shuang sent Xuxu back home and dropped her off outside the entrance of the courtyard. It was already late in the evening as the children had refused to let them leave earlier on.
She stood outside the courtyard and peered at the mansion. She was rather startled to see that the lights in the study on the second floor were still lit.
Did he come back?
"Miss, welcome home."
Xuxu was still staring into the distance when the butler opened the doors and greeted her warmly with a smile.
She snapped out of her thoughts and nodded politely at the butler, then walked towards the courtyard.
