More Than What Meets the Eye

Xu Xiyan could feel an itch on her face and instinctively shot her punch forward.

It was as if she hit something, and a loud thud could be heard.

A person groaned in the dark and woke the two of them up. Li Ruochu went straight for the light.

As soon as the room was lit up, they could see a man with his back against them, and Li Ruochu screamed.

"Don't worry! I'm here!" Xu Xiyan shouted and shielded Li Ruochu, ready to fight the intruder.

"Who are you?" Li Ruochu asked, peeking from behind Xu Xiyan.

The man slowly turned around, his hand over his bleeding nose.

The man took his handkerchief out to wipe the blood, and the girls could finally see who he was.

They thought it was some burglar, but he turned out to be the master of the mansion, Helian Qingyu.

If Li Ruochu did not tell Xu Xiyan about her relationship with Helian Qingyu, Xu Xiyan would've been in shock by then.
