Ouyang Mingjing felt considerably better now that he understood the situation.
However, in that moment, his gaze fell upon Qing's face.
A proud smile formed on his lips.
He was on the verge of attaining everything he desired.
Deciding not to keep Qing hidden any longer, he spoke gently to her, "I still have a few matters to attend to. You may leave for now, and I will join you later."

"Remember what I told you about being by my side?"
Qing didn't answer verbally but nodded in acknowledgment.
"Very well. Keep it in mind. It will happen soon." Ouyang Mingjing smiled, his expression filled with a sense of accomplishment.
