After dinner at China World Hotel, Beijing, Zhuang Yi took Ji Yi home just like He Jichen asked and obediently sent him a text to tell him that she was safely home.
After the text went through, Ji Yi waited ten minutes but didn't get a reply from He Jichen. She figured he must've been busy handling the urgent situation from earlier, so she went to the bathroom.
After she freshened up and changed into pajamas, she laid in bed and glanced over at her phone again, only to see that He Jichen still hadn't replied to her message.
