The rebel within him was constantly assaulting his self-control.
Knock Knock Knock—
The sound of knocking arose.
Jiang Xun turned his head to look in the direction of the door.
Outside, Qiao An, getting no response, anxiously pushed the door open and barged in.
Seeing Jiang Xun inside, she paused, but still, she walked in on her own accord.
It had only been a short two hours since their unpleasant parting in the study.
"Jiang Xun, step outside. I have something to discuss with him alone," Qiao An said slowly as she looked at Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun turned to look at Mu Jingxi, seeking his opinion, "Third Master?"
"Leave."
Jiang Xun respectfully bowed his head, "Yes."
He left the study and closed the door behind him.
As soon as the door shut, Qiao An hurriedly stepped forward, her hands bracing on the desk as she loomed over him, "Mu Jingxi, did you take Mengmeng captive?"
Mengmeng?
She sounded quite affectionate.
