Although the girl standing before him was shrewd and capable, decisive in her actions, she was still naive and ignorant when it came to emotions, not yet enlightened.
Her interactions with Li Hengyi were devoid of romantic love, but they were different from those with anyone else. She took him very seriously and cared about him, though she didn't realize it.
That was the fundamental reason why he was willing to take out the wine he had hidden in the mountains for so many years.
Leveraging Li Hengyi's power, he planned to make a comeback, to seek revenge, to find his relatives.
Even if he failed, having Xie Zhinuan, his disciple, he would still have a way out.
"..." Xie Zhinuan looked at Lian Huai.
She believed his words.
They were using each other, so she couldn't expect too much from him.
"Thank you, Master!"
"No need to be polite!"
Lian Huai planned to take Xie Zhinuan to the Lian family distillery that they visited earlier.
Xie Zhinuan went to see Li Hengyi.
