Ling Ciye placed the umbrella by the door of the living room.
He then changed into a pair of home slippers before walking towards the corridor where the guest room was located.
The corridor was dimly lit with a warm, yellow light.
When he arrived at the door of Jin Qingyue's room, he stopped in his tracks and headed inside the guest room next to hers instead.
He did not quite know how to put it across to her.
Auntie Chen entered Jin Qingyue's room with a glass of milk and said, "I saw Mr. Ling walking towards here just now. Seems like he's staying here tonight."
Jin Qingyue raised her brows in surprise and asked, "Who? You mean Brother Ciye?"
"Yes, I just saw him."
"Got it." Jin Qingyue finished the glass of milk and left the door slightly ajar before heading to the bathroom to shower and brush her teeth.
She came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her body and found that Ling Ciye was not in her room.
