Chapter 206: Jin Zijin Arrives

Gu Youyou arrived home very late, and Yue Rujing was sitting in the study, reading by candlelight. The empty study now contained many more things, especially books.

"Cousin-in-law, you're back!" Yue Rujing greeted her with enthusiasm.

Exhausted from the day and overwhelmed by the death of Doctor Zhou, Gu Youyou had no energy to concern herself with him taking over her study, nor did she acknowledge him.

Thinking of the surprise he had planned for later, Yue Rujing didn't continue to pester her with chatter but merely gave a sly smile and returned to his book.

Gu Youyou washed up briefly and then went to sleep in her bedroom.

She didn't light a lamp, and by the moonlight, she saw the thin quilt on the bed was piled up high, her eyes instantly fixed in shock!

The enemy, it seemed, had still come!

If it had been anyone else, Gu Youyou would have surely grabbed a stick and chased him out, but with Jin Zijin... she simply couldn't bring herself to do it.
