Jingrui was puzzled by Xiao'er's defeated expression, unable to understand why she reacted so. After all, he hadn't misspoken; he had indeed never been involved with other women. So, the idea of having a preference was far-fetched to him.
Xiao'er chose not to respond, both of them busying themselves with their own tasks, which they completed rather quickly.
After leaving the medicine shop, they turned to Pohli Jewelry, Yunnai'er's clothing store… and finally, the Four Seasons Restaurant.
At the Four Seasons Restaurant, Jingrui bumped into a classmate who invited him to a private room, leaving Xiao'er to settle their accounts.
After finalizing the accounts, she told the restaurant owner, "Please inform the eldest young master when he comes down that I'm returning to the mansion first."
The owner nodded, "I'll pass the message. Safe journey, young miss."
With a curt nod, Xiao'er left.
