Su Jiuyi returned to her room as if escaping, locked the door, and leaned against it. She let out a long breath; her heart was beating fiercely.
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. She thought it was Ye Han calling, but when she looked at the caller ID, she realized it was Qi Jingren.
Her slender fingers slid across the screen's answer button, placing the phone to her ear, she spoke: "Hey, Jingren."
"Jiuyi, where are you?" Qi Jingren's voice came through, "I'm in the Shi Family's hall right now. Do you want to come over and chat for a while?"
"You came?" Su Jiuyi frowned, lowered her voice, and asked, "Are you with the lady of the house?"
"No, she was already out when I arrived. I heard she's gone sailing with Jue's dad and won't be back until tonight," Qi Jingren said.
"Oh, alright, wait for me a bit, I'll come find you soon."
