After returning to the Imperial Capital, Zhong Niangyao didn't delay and went straight back to the Zhong Family residence.
Even though she felt little sense of belonging to the Zhong Family, with Old Sir and Old Madam Zhong around, she felt somewhat better. However, she was considering whether she should move out and live on her own.
She thought she'd be more comfortable living by herself. But, she felt if she brought it up, Old Sir and Old Madam Zhong would definitely not agree. So, this was a matter that required long-term consideration.
Upon her return to the Zhong Family home, finding that Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong were not in, Zhong Niangyao went straight to her room to rest.
However, she had barely gone upstairs when she encountered Zhong Mengfan.
Seeing the pink aura entwined with wisps of dark energy around Meng Fan, a faint dark glint flashed in Nianyao's eyes.
