To see Qiao An was simply for the matter of paternity testing.
Mu Jingxi pondered for a moment, "Let them wait."
"Yes, Third Young Master." The butler heaved a sigh of relief and turned to convey the message.
Entering the study, Mu Jingxi dealt with the things at hand before he left the room.
Back in the bedroom, he unlocked Qiao An's handcuffs.
The person pretending to be asleep, as soon as the handcuffs were unlocked, sprung up like an agile rabbit and hopped to the side.
Qiao An, rubbing her wrist that ached from the struggle, grunted, "Where is Xia Lin?"
"You're better off worrying about yourself than Xia Lin."
"What?" Qiao An moved suspiciously toward the door.
Ready to slip away.
"The Ji family has arrived, specifically asking for you."
Qiao An: "..."
So that was it.
She had just been wondering, thinking he had a change of heart and unlocked the handcuffs because she looked uncomfortable in her sleep.
