Bai Junfan chased after her and caught Yang Liu'er in the courtyard. The houses in this area were packed tightly together, their yards practically connected. Worried the neighbors might hear, they both deliberately kept their voices down despite the argument. Yang Liu'er had hardened her heart and was determined to leave, struggling with all her might. Bai Junfan was afraid of using too much force and hurting her, which would only make her more resentful. He also feared that if neighbors realized they were fighting, it would attract a crowd. So, he gave in to her pulling, and they stumbled out of the courtyard gate together. He pretended he was just walking her to her car, which would also give him a chance to explain a few more things.
Back in the house, Tang Yaxuan climbed off the messy, disheveled bed.
