Servants had knocked on the courtyard door to deliver a message.
Liu Yingqi said with a smile, "Then I shall take my leave first and not disturb you young people from talking."
Yan Fu bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Uncle Liu."
Liu Yingqi boarded his lavish carriage, and guarded by two rows of guards, he departed in the lingering glow of the sunset.
Like the afterglow, it looked splendid but one could not tell how long it would last.
Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask telepathically, "If Master Xuanhuai is such a person, why did your family ever agree to this marriage arrangement?"
Yan Fu watched the semi-closed courtyard gate and replied telepathically, "The marriage was arranged by my grandfather and Miss Liu's grandfather. Also, Master Xuanhuai... he wasn't like this before."
So much had changed, all left unspoken.
Soon afterward,
The courtyard door opened.
No one spoke.
Behind the courtyard door, stood a woman with a delicate demeanor.
