Ji Fengyan's answer took Qin Muyao aback. An almost imperceptible look of disappointment flashed across his eyes. He dropped his gaze and said, "In that case, I hope you are someone who keeps her word."
With that, Qin Muyao stood up and prepared to leave. Just before he left, he glanced at Liu Ruse, hinting that she should go with him.
Liu Ruse waved goodbye to Ji Fengyan and caught up with Qin Muyao. It was not until they had left the room that Liu Ruse, who had been following Qin Muyao, asked softly, "Brother, do you think… Fengyan knows?"
Qin Muyao's steps paused. "I'm not certain."
Liu Ruse did not ask any further and the two of them departed together.
