Mr. Situ and Mrs. Situ had already gone to bed.
Awoken by the servant, they changed into proper clothes and hurried downstairs.
As soon as they descended, they saw Mu Jingnan standing in the center of the living room, bathed in the full glow of the lights.
Inexplicably, a wave of indescribable sorrow washed over them.
Mr. and Mrs. Situ exchanged a glance, unsure why he suddenly visited at such a late hour.
He was a guest, and it wouldn't be proper to rush him away.
The sudden cancellation of the Mu Family's second son's engagement had stirred quite the commotion in Beijing.
It was hard for Mr. and Mrs. Situ to remain unaware; the reasons behind the abrupt termination of the engagement were unknown.
Yet his late-night appearance gave them some understanding.
It must be related to Yunshu.
"Jingnan's here," Mr. Situ greeted, "Don't just stand, please sit."
