Meeting her cousin's eyes, Zhi Wan felt a pang of guilt. She lowered her head and mumbled, "I didn't do anything."
She knew the man from just a moment ago was the very Court fugitive her cousin was supposed to arrest.
But she had let him get away...
Zhi Wan was deeply conflicted. 'Should I tell my cousin what happened?'
The man had saved her at the restaurant yesterday, and he looked identical to her father.
Although the man hadn't admitted it, she was already certain he was her father's brother.
'But how could he be a Court fugitive?'
Zhi Wan was in a terrible bind.
Lu Zhan saw the conflict in his cousin's eyes and asked calmly, "May I come in and sit for a moment?"
Zhi Wan froze, hesitating.
'That man... he should be gone by now, right?'
Seeing his cousin's hesitation, Lu Zhan's dark eyes narrowed. "Am I not welcome inside?"
Zhi Wan felt an inexplicable pressure.
She quickly shook her head. "Of course not..." Saying this, she stepped aside. "Please come in, cousin."
