At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard.
Delight surged through Lu Yunshuang; she thought Long Chi was coming after her. She could not help wanting to turn back for a look, but she reminded herself to show restraint—this would portray her in a praiseworthy light.
Despite this, she still slowed her pace down.
However, Long Chi did not come running after her as she had initially expected. She could hear the sound of the footsteps moving further off as if they were headed another way.
Lu Yunshuang's expression changed. She immediately turned to look back, only to see Long Chi carrying Chen Qiyu in his arms, walking rapidly in another direction.
Lu Yunshuang's face instantly lost color. The initial confidence and certainty in her expression had just been shattered by what she had witnessed in front of her very own eyes.
Long Chi and Chen Qiyu were headed in the direction of Chen Qiyu's courtyard.
What were they going there for?
