The voice on the phone continued:
"Let's meet at... Jiangxiang Hall." She seemed to think for a moment before saying slowly, "How about right now?"
Jiangxiang Hall was a restaurant with a classical charm, very close to his apartment.
Before he could even agree, the line went dead.
"..." The young man's long lashes drooped slightly.
'She knows for a fact that I won't refuse any of her requests, doesn't she?'
He grabbed his coat, called for his driver, and then slowly made his way out.
'No matter what her goal is, if she wants to leave me... I will never allow it.'

Shen Huoshui took advantage of the moment Shen Yuanguang returned to his study to sneak out the door.
「Jiangxiang Hall.」
The young man seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. A teacup sat before him, a faint wisp of steam curling from it.
His eyes were lowered as he took a light sip with his thin, crimson lips.
Shen Huoshui blinked, then stepped inside and smiled. "You're so early."
