In the evening, back in the bedroom, Qiao Dongyang specifically told Chi Yue, "Take good care of Chi Yan's emotions these next two days. On the day of the court hearing, I'll have Monkey accompany you there."
Chi Yue was rendered speechless.
Had even Qiao Dongyang noticed that Assistant Hou meant something different to Chi Yan?
She responded with a "Hmm," nodded, and fell silent.
"And another thing—" Qiao Dongyang suddenly turned, his eyes fiercely fixed on her, "That Wei Ge—"
"Keep my distance. I know," Chi Yue cut in swiftly, then said with a beaming smile, "He doesn't actually have those intentions toward me. It's just that, you know, he thinks in peculiar ways. Maybe he's tired of being a big star and wants a change of scene, thinks our place is interesting."
"I'm a man, don't I understand his thoughts?"
"..."
Chi Yue closed her mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the hearing arrived.
