By the time Max returned after taking a bath and ridding off the mixed scents of Zhou Yue, Tie Zhongli and others, Gu Lan had calmed down and was sitting in her chair, lost in thoughts.
When she saw him walk over, she looked at him, her face turning void of any expressions.
Max inwardly sighed and stopped three steps away from her and silence reigned between them.
After a few moments, he broke the silence.
"Lan'er… Did you talk to Nie Xiaolu or her mother?" He asked.
Gu Lan frowned slightly before she shook her head, "No. Only mother and Aunt Ruolan talked to them."
"They didn't tell you anything after talking to them, huh?" Max muttered, then nodded in understanding. They didn't want to worry them.
"Is something wrong?" Gu Lan asked, realizing something from his words.
"Yes," Max nodded and told her everything that happened in the Nie Family.
