Wang Zilan was at a loss for words, her expression shifting indeterminately.
"I am feeling a bit weary. I shall take my leave now."
"As you wish, Miss Wang."
Chen Sheng gestured with a raised hand.
Wang Zilan gave a slight bow before turning to leave the restaurant. However, as she was weighing the pros and cons of the matter, she was surprised to see a nearby parked carriage suddenly begin to move, slowly approaching her.
"Zhilan, are you alright?"
The carriage curtain parted to reveal Lu Maozhi. It seemed he had cleaned himself up, no longer looking as wretched as he did during the Song Family's downfall. Of course, having just been defeated, he still lacked his usual suave demeanor.
There was even a hint of urgency in his voice.
"What are you doing here?"
Surprise flickered in Wang Zilan's eyes.
"I was worried that bastard Chen Sheng might try to harm you."
