Since returning to London, Jiang Ni had stopped paying attention to the happenings in Beijing.
In her view, in Beijing, only a handful of people knew about her marriage to Qin Jijing.
She thought she had kept the secret with Qin Jijing very well, only to find out... it was already an "open secret" that everyone knew about.
Mid-month, Qin Jijing arrived in London as promised.
Late at night, an invigorating exercise had just ended.
Jiang Ni lay on the pillow, her body uncovered, with only a thin quilt draped over her waist.
The sweat-dampened curly hair spread softly across her back; a strand slid down her shoulder blade, tickling her cheek.
She shook her exposed leg from under the quilt, and she was in no rush to sleep just yet. Turning her head, she watched the figure answering work messages while leaning against the headboard and softly said, "Bai Shu came to see me a few days ago."
At her words, Qin Jijing moved his gaze from his phone screen to her face, "I heard."
