Mu Huan hastily retreated back to the middle of the corridor.
She had just gotten steady on her feet when the man walked out of the room.
Their gazes met with slight awkwardness.
"Hello," she greeted in an attempt to break the awkward silence.
"Mm." Mixed feelings arose in Bao Huaiyun as he regarded the bright young lass before him.
He had no hard feelings toward her. On the contrary, he was rather fond of her because he found her to be a pretty decent girl.
Alas, both uncle and nephew have taken a fancy to her.
I… I can only say that she's a femme fatale!
Not knowing what else to say, she bowed her head and kept her silence.
"I'm leaving. Junyan is inside the room." He then left right after since he had nothing to say to her as well.
She breathed a sigh of relief at that and headed for the study. The excitement in her, though, had fizzled out.
