Ruan Tianling finally let her go alone with peace of mind.
...
Jian Yufei walked upstairs, and the bodyguard pushed open the study door for her—
She entered and saw Nangong Xu standing by the window with his hands behind his back.
The study room had walls on all sides, with windows on two of them.
At the moment, Nangong Xu was standing in front of the right window, staring at the distant mountains.
"Have a seat."
He spoke calmly without turning his head.
Jian Yufei didn't sit. "What do you want with me?"
Nangong Xu turned around, looking at her with eyes devoid of warmth: "Do you know the secret of the Double Dragon Ring?"
He called her here, and indeed it was about this matter.
Jian Yufei smiled and said, "That's right, I do know."
He hadn't expected her to admit so straightforwardly, which made Nangong Xu value the secret less.
"What is the secret?" he asked.
"Just because you ask, must I tell you? Set us free, and then I'll tell you!"
