It was late at night.
He Jitang sat alone in silence for a long time.
Outside the door, the Housekeeper reported, "Young Master Ji, Miss Lin would like to see you."
He Jitang remained unswervingly composed.
He said, "Let her go back."
The Housekeeper was in a difficult position.
After thinking for a while, he still said, "It's raining outside, and she refuses to leave. She said she wants to talk to Young Master Ji about young master Ci'an."
He Jitang lowered his gaze.
After a moment, he said, "Let her in!"
The Housekeeper withdrew.
About 10 minutes later, Lin Xianni was led to him.
It really was raining; she was completely soaked.
Her body trembled slightly.
Her black hair, like seaweed, clung to her fair small face, which was quite touching.
Seeing it was for little Ci'an's sake, the Housekeeper poured her a cup of hot tea and brought over a clean blanket.
Lin Xianni drank the hot tea.
But she didn't use the blanket.
