The night at Gu Mansion was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"I've said it before, I don't meddle in affairs that don't concern me, so there's no need for you to tell me why you had to take down those thugs or why Ling Xiaoxue had to be taught a lesson."
Gu Annan's room door was ajar, with warm golden light spilling out from the gap.
The clear and pleasant voice coming from inside was all too familiar to Lu Wanwan, and her steps slowed unconsciously.
"Right, I'm not curious."
"I don't know. Xu Yuan and I only know each other's names; I don't care about other people's affairs."
Clutching the cup in her hand tightly, Lu Wanwan realized that this matter wasn't something Gu Annan had handled.
So what he had said before, that it wasn't his concern and there was no need to thank him, was meant literally—it genuinely had nothing to do with him.
A vague sense of emptiness swept through her heart.
Her lips curled into a self-mocking smile as she continued downstairs.
