By the time Jian Qing finished dinner, the old man from the Jian family had returned.
He had spent the day at an old friend's house, and he came back looking a bit tired. He didn't stay in the living room for long before heading to his room to rest.
Bai Jue was invited to a bar, while Jian Luo had returned to her room early.
For a moment, only Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing were left in the living room.
"What time are you leaving?" Jian Qing nestled in his arms, looking listless.
He held her tightly, resting his chin on her shoulder, "In fifteen minutes."
"I'll walk you out."
Jian Qing pulled his hand away and got up to put on her shoes.
Quan Jingwu stopped her, "Sit here."
Jian Qing watched as the man went to get her shoes, his jet black eyes filled with a hint of a smile.
Quan Jingwu held her shoes in his hand, but this did not detract from his noble demeanor in the slightest.
He squatted next to the sofa, gently helping her put on her shoes.
