Liu Yue's heart loosened upon learning that both had just returned, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, if they had just come back, they probably hadn't heard her conversation.
However, recalling what Ji Yao had said at the beginning, Liu Yue began to feel a hint of suspicion and looked towards Lu Jincheng.
"Mr. Lu, did you also just get back? It doesn't quite seem like it."
She made the comment casually, asking while also covertly observing his expression.
Nevertheless, Lu Jincheng was composed and revealed no flaws.
Adding to this was his aura of superiority, which naturally intimidated Liu Yue. She dared only probe briefly before fearing that any further investigation might lead to her own secrets being exposed instead.
"Oh, then I must have misunderstood. I thought I heard Mr. Lu's voice earlier and assumed you had come back sooner. Perhaps it was just my imagination."
No one else gave it much thought, including Ji Yao, who had indeed just come back.
