At dusk, Chen Yi returned home.
Pushing open the door, Yin Tingxue wasn't sitting in the hall as she usually did. Chen Yi glanced around, unable to find the girl's figure.
A strange tightness gripped his heart, and he quickly walked towards the study, noticing the contract for his maid was missing from the table.
Had she finally escaped?
Unable to find her figure, Chen Yi felt a sense of loss.
A moment later, Chen Yi broke into a faint smile.
She finally escaped!
Chen Yi turned and walked out of the study.
He headed to the hall, just about to stride out through the door, but suddenly halted.
"…Are you looking for me?" a cautious voice of a girl came from behind.
Chen Yi turned his head to see Yin Tingxue carrying tea, taking small, careful steps towards him.
"Where did you go?"
Chen Yi asked.
"I brewed you some tea, here, drink up."
She held the tea high in front of him.
