"Oh? Miss Shi has already left?" Zhao Tian murmured as he leaned back on the plush couch, swirling the glass of juice in his hand before taking a long sip.
The sunlight streaming through the ornate windows cast a warm glow over the room, accentuating the luxurious furnishings.
Li Jia, who was seated beside him with her legs casually crossed, rolled her eyes in mild exasperation "Don't tell me… were you trying to court her last night? Is that why she disappeared this morning?"
Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow at her accusation, his lips curling into a smile "No, idiot. We just had drinks and a good conversation. Nothing more, nothing less."
Li Jia's expression softened as she leaned forward and gently lay across his lap, her silky hair spilling over his legs like a waterfall.
"By the way Tian, Sect master and Elder Jing said that they need to leave soon as they have their own duties within the Sect."
