But the day Yin Baiyan recklessly ran to the kidnappers to rescue Yan Xiaye, even though he ultimately failed, Li Beicheng put himself in Bai Yan's shoes, and guessed that after that incident, Yin Baiyan must have become a known figure in Yan Xiaye's heart, definitely more than just a random bystander.
"Beicheng, you're hurting me."
Yan Shuirou, who had initially been on high alert watching Li Yuntang, was startled by the pain in her hand and turned a pitiful gaze towards the man beside her.
"...Sorry."
Almost subconsciously, Yan Shuirou relied on a woman's intuition to deduce that Li Beicheng's reaction was most likely related to Yan Xiaye.
A sharp pain struck her heart, but she didn't confront Li Beicheng, only silently biting her lip.
Li Beicheng, preoccupied, casually responded and turned his gaze away, only to notice that Old Madam Jiang had disappeared without a trace, "Shuirou, where did your godmother go?"
