"If I come back too late, don’t wait for me." Nangong Jin reached out to gently stroke her hair, his expression incredibly tender.
"I’ll wait for you," Di Jinxuan looked into his eyes and said firmly.
Nangong Jin’s heart ached. He scooped her up in his arms and gently placed her on the bed. "Be good. Sleep well first. Once I’ve handled everything, I’ll come to you. I’ll leave through the window, don’t worry."
Was he afraid his family would find out he was leaving?
Di Jinxuan furrowed her brows slightly. "Alright, but be careful. I’ll wait for you."
"Mm." Nangong Jin nodded and planted a kiss on her brow. "I’m going now. Sleep tight."
"Okay." Di Jinxuan closed her eyes.
When Nangong Jin climbed out the window, he lingered there for a moment, turning back to look at her. There was a hint of reluctance, a tinge of sadness and guilt. He couldn’t shake the feeling that leaving on a night like this would make her heart ache.
But he had to go to the meeting. This was something that couldn’t be postponed. He had to figure out what he truly wanted.
Letting out a silent sigh, Nangong Jin finally slipped out through the window and walked away without looking back.
Di Jinxuan, who had been lying quietly on the bed with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Staring at the window where his figure had just vanished, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of worry.
Could it be something serious?
Once outside the Di Family residence, Nangong Jin glanced at the time. It looked just right—he needed to leave early to ensure everything could be arranged in advance.
He chose not to drive to avoid Fang Hao and Di Yan noticing his midnight departure.
Taking out his phone, he saw a text notification pop up. There were only four words: "Spring Arrival Teahouse."
Nangong Jin took one look, furrowed his brows, then ultimately set his phone aside.
The Spring Arrival Teahouse was a high-end establishment located in the pedestrian street at the city center. The place was bustling with people and full of lively chatter. At this hour, the city’s nightlife was just beginning to bloom.
