Xu Fang turned to look at Zheng Yueling, who had sat up, and said gently, "I'm going to deal with the trouble with Chen Shu. You get some rest. When you wake up, this will all be over."
Warmed by his words, Zheng Yueling said, "I'll go with you."
"You'd just be a burden if you came. It's better to stay here."
"But what if you run into danger?" Zheng Yueling asked anxiously.
"It's safer for me to go alone."
"You!" Zheng Yueling was slightly annoyed.
"Don't worry, I won't get hurt. Otherwise, would I be foolish enough to walk into a death trap? Wait for my good news," Xu Fang reassured her in a steady voice.
Hearing Xu Fang's confident tone, Zheng Yueling felt a little calmer and nodded. "I'll wait for you to come back before I sleep."
Xu Fang didn't press the issue further, simply saying, "If you get sleepy, just go to sleep," before grabbing the car keys and heading out the door.
