Wen Xinya bid Du Ruo farewell at 4:30 pm. Du Ruo felt weird about her leaving 30 minutes earlier. Usually, Wen Xinya would stay till 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
Du Ruo casually asked if everything was alright, but did not ask further when Wen Xinya replied and assured her that there wasn't any problem.
The real reason for Wen Xinya leaving the Du Mansion earlier was because of Si Yiyan. He told her that morning he would come to fetch her. In her previous life, she was deeply hurt by that man. But in this life, she did not wish to be embroiled in sexual relations with him. However, she could not bring herself to reject Si Yiyan and knew that he was someone who would not take "no" for an answer. Therefore, avoiding him was the only thing she could do for now.
