The household butler had already been informed that Bai Nuanxi would be discharged today, so he prepared a lavish spread of dishes in advance.
Though Bai Nuanxi felt little appetite due to the situation with Sun Miaoman, she couldn't bring herself to dismiss the old man's heartfelt efforts with a simple "I'm not hungry" and go upstairs to rest. So, despite her lack of appetite, she dutifully ate a bit. After all, it was a token of the butler's sincerity.
"What should we do next?" Bai Nuanxi, feeling full, sat on the sofa and glanced at Huo Muchen.
Huo Muchen handed her a glass of lemon water and replied, "There's no rush. The person is already in our hands; we can take this step by step." Revealing everything at once would indeed ruin Sun Miaoman's life, yet there were many ways to ensure she'd never recover. The best steel is used on the cutting edge—such decisive information should not be wielded carelessly.
