It was early summer, and the lush trees made for a good hiding place.
Only after Mu Yiliang walked in did she realize that the forest was actually quite sparse, not particularly suitable for hiding. If someone got close, they could easily spot her.
But, it wasn't completely hopeless.
No matter what, once Yan Sijue discovered she was missing, he couldn't possibly not care at all, right? He would definitely come looking for her, wouldn't he? She dared him to ignore her!
She was truly left with no choice but to think up this runaway scheme.

The sky gradually darkened.
The servants in the manor initially didn't pay much attention, as Mu Yiliang usually went out for walks, typically returning within an hour or two. But today, even until almost one in the afternoon, there was still no sign of Mu Yiliang.
Ada searched every room throughout the manor but couldn't find Mu Yiliang. She called her phone, but it was out of signal range.
