Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's begging, Mo Zhu's pupils constricted. She turned her head and looked at Huo Xuan without blinking.
As expected, Huo Xuan stopped. As he tidied up his messy cuffs and collar, he asked in a low voice, "How many days have you been in Beijing? Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"
Xiao Yuan also tugged at his messy clothes. He glanced at Huo Xuan and replied plainly, "I just arrived last week."
Huo Xuan nodded in understanding. He lowered his eyes and said, "How many days do you plan to stay in Beijing this time?"
Hearing Huo Xuan's question, Xiao Yuan carefully raised his head and glanced at him timidly. He lowered his voice and said, "You must not tell my old man about my return. I came back secretly this time and I'll leave in two days. If my old man finds out about this and gets angry, I'll complain to Aunt Man!"
