This thought finally brought Ye Shixian a sliver of peace.
Just then, a noise from up ahead drew her attention. She looked up just in time to see the door swing open.
Lian Zhou was the first to step out. Ye Shixian's gaze shifted past him, and then she saw Shen Yanchuan.
'Is he holding something?'
Ye Shixian's heart leaped into her throat—she remembered that Shen Yanchuan had been empty-handed when he went in, but now...
She was about to move closer for a better look when another thought struck her: 'Where's Ye Chutang?'
Shen Yanchuan came to a stop and looked back, as if waiting for someone.
An inexplicable sense of unease settled over Ye Shixian.
A moment later, Ye Chutang's figure emerged from the room as well.
Ye Shixian quickly sized her up, trying to read the situation, but at that exact moment, Ye Chutang suddenly looked up at her!
Her dark eyes were calm and piercing as she stared over, devoid of any emotion.
