Everyone was waiting, but no matter how long they waited, Ou Lan did not show up, so speculation abounded.
Qin Qingnan, "Xiao Lanlan wouldn't have eaten bear's heart and leopard's gall, would she? Can she really afford not to come back?"
Xie Shichen, "Seems unscientific."
Zhan Lingtao remained silent, his inner turmoil exceptionally fierce. He was both afraid that Ou Xiaolan would return and afraid that she would never come back.
Li Dan began to worry. Could it be that the Young Madam had run into some trouble? Otherwise, she wouldn't have the courage to disobey Master Xiao's orders.
Ah Dai had the same thought and so quietly tugged at Li Dan's sleeve. "Assistant Li, should we give the Young Madam a call to check on her?"
Li Dan frowned with difficulty. The couple was in the midst of a quarrel; what reason did he have, as a special assistant, to call the Young Madam? It seemed a bit presumptuous.
After some consideration, he decided to call Ou Chenghai to probe the situation.
