Si Ye watched her retreating figure, the corners of his mouth maintaining a faint arc.
After Chen Zhi left, just as he was about to follow and enter the house himself, he suddenly came to a realization.
He had been hoodwinked by this woman!
Their conversation had just been about the events of that evening, but her diversion had inexplicably gotten her past it.
Truly cunning, she even managed to pull the wool over Si Ye's eyes.
If word got out, he'd surely be the laughing stock.
Si Ye sneered, "Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll find out for myself. I refuse to believe I can't figure out what you did that evening."
After eating something downstairs, Chen Zhi left the villa to return home and visit her mother.
Upon arriving home, her mother saw her and her face lit up with delight, "Didn't you say you would rest for a day before visiting me? Why did you suddenly come back?"
"Mom, I'm not tired at all, no need to rest."
