With a calm and relaxed air about him, the Third Master stands at the door, his deep eyes staring at Qin Ruan, a faint tiredness pervading from him due to the long journey.
This is the first time he has heard Qin Ruan swear. His courteous and scholarly demeanor remains unchanged. In fact, a hint of amusement sparkles in his eyes.
He has long been aware of Qin Ruan's inherent wild nature. He did not think he would discover it so soon.
Hearing the Third Master's voice, Qin Ruan feels a shudder in her heart and comes to a halt.
She lifts her gaze, meeting the Third Master's composed and elegant demeanor, the upward curve of his lips just like before.
At that moment, Qin Ruan feels a tad nervous.
Recalling her elder brother being framed, and Tang Ya's unexpected death, which put the Tang family in a position to blackmail the Qin family, she tries to ignore the chaos in her heart and makes her way towards the Third Master.
