Before dawn arrived.
--------------------
In the room, everyone had been waiting under Eldest Uncle Xia Zhao Yushan's hesitant explanations and had already understood why Lin Baohe suddenly ran away. To avoid causing Lin Baohe embarrassment, they had also refrained from chasing after him.
However, the wait had been quite nerve-wracking.
Now, seeing the group return, everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief but didn't make a point of going out to meet them. Instead, they simply gestured for them to sit down casually after everyone entered the room, as if they were completely unconcerned about what Lin Baohe had run out to do.
This cold treatment slightly soothed the heart that Lin Baohe felt was about to jump out of his throat. Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to truly believe that everyone was unaware of anything.
