Seeing Ying Zheng's face brimming with joy, Xia Wuqie finally relaxed completely and sat directly by Ying Zheng's side.
"You seem so happy."
"I suppose Dong'er has let things go as well. But I'm quite curious—how did you manage to see Dong'er without her avoiding you?" Xia Wuqie asked with a smile.
At these words—
Ying Zheng immediately replied with a grin: "Father-in-law, I was worried she wouldn't agree to meet me either, so I sneaked out under cover of night. She never realized I'd found her. When she saw me, she simply didn't have a chance to leave."
Speaking of this,
Ying Zheng's tone held a trace of pride.
"Then your journey to Shaqiu—did anyone find out?"
All of a sudden, Xia Wuqie seemed to think of something, and his expression shifted.
"Father-in-law, please rest assured."
"I always act with proper caution."
