The night was silent, and everyone was at rest.
As the time raced towards midnight, Meng Xi'er could no longer resist, and she got up from her bed.
Usually, by this time, Lu Yebai would have finished his work and return from his study.
But now, he has not come back…
So…
A spark of wild joy flashed in her heart, she cautiously opened the door, stepping softly in her slippers. The hallway was empty. The study room's light was still on in the distance. She swallowed, deciding to secretly check if Lu Yebai was asleep.
It was late, and the household staff had all gone to their rooms. Her footsteps were soundless on the flooring. Meng Xi'er's heartbeat began to accelerate. Standing in front of Lu Yebai's study room, she took a deep breath, she dared not just throw open the door, instead gently knocking from the outside, "Mr. Lu... Are you still busy?"
The study was eerily silent, as if not a soul was there. Meng Xi'er bit her lip tightly, not making a sound.
