Xiang Wan wrapped herself in a coat over her pajamas and braved the cold wind as she crossed the courtyard to approach him, "Why have you come so late? Have you finished with the client?"
Zuo Xingyun didn't speak, vulnerably like a child, pulling her tightly into his embrace.
Xiang Wan sensed something was off about him, and the scent on his body had changed too, with traces of an odd, indescribable aroma mixed in.
After a long while, she spoke again, "Zuo Xingyun, what's wrong? What happened?"
He greedily inhaled the fragrance of her hair, his voice hoarse, "Your dad wasn't involved in my affairs; he was completely unaware from beginning to end."
Xiang Wan froze completely, realizing he hadn't gone to meet a client that night, "You... did you go to find Lu Tianming?"
