Mu Houchu felt his throat choke up and seemed unable to speak. After a long time, he finally answered in a slightly hoarse voice, "Alright."
He then gave her a kiss on the forehead and said, "Be good and wait for me at home."
Xin He nodded, and he turned around and left.
Standing at the door, she stared blankly at his departing figure, suddenly feeling empty inside.
"Madam, it's windy outside. Let's go inside," Shulan said.
Xin He sighed lightly, "I still can't avoid it in the end."
Though she was aware of the dangers, she still had to jump in. Indeed, she had perceived the matter early on, but she also knew that Mu Houchu did not want her to know about it, fearing that she would worry and feel uncomfortable.
However, it wasn't as if the matter wouldn't have occurred just because she was unaware of it.
