In a moment of panic, Xiang Wan darted into the bathroom.
Listening to the sound of the room's door opening and closing outside, her heart pounded like thunder. If discovered, would Zuo Xingyun reconsider his insistence on sending her abroad?
She felt some annoyance. Had she known he would return today, she wouldn't have entertained the thought...
In a short span of time, her brain whirred at breakneck speed. She suddenly realized that the first thing Zuo Xingyun would likely do upon arriving home was to take a shower, a habit he had cultivated over many years. Hiding in the bathroom was far from a good strategy; in fact, it was foolishly suicidal.
Rather than wait to be found, she'd be better off coming out on her own...
She composed her facial expression, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the bathroom with an air of 'natural ease'.
