Walking out from Tang Ziqian, Li Mu looked up into the distance. The sky was as clear as if washed, with faint clouds at the horizon, and under the setting sun, it resembled a girl's skirt, light and colorful.
He squinted and watched for a while, then walked towards the inner mansion.
Upon reaching the entrance of the inner mansion, he was stopped.
"Please inform the Second Miss, Ah Xiao is back," Li Mu said calmly.
Having gone for so many days without a clear explanation beforehand, who knows how worried the Second Miss might have been.
As for Tang Ziqian, he didn't think explaining would calm her; perhaps the more he explained, the more unsettled the little girl would become.
Therefore, after the gatekeeper sent a maid inside to deliver the message, he still stood at the entrance.
The little girl, upon hearing he was back, would surely be eager to come out and see him.
