Only two minutes passed before Yuan returned with Li Yue.
Her face was noticeably brighter than it had been when she had stormed out earlier, the tension that had surrounded her seeming to have eased, at least on the surface.
Xiao Feng couldn't help wondering what Yuan had said to her in such a short time. Still, more than anything else, he was relieved that Yuan had actually gone after her and stopped her from reaching her father.
If Li Yue had gone and reported whatever she had gone to report to Emperor Li, it would have caused trouble for Yuan, he would have carried the consequences.
Xiao Feng didn't want it to happen like that, he didn't want anything like that to happen to Yuan.
He could be pushing Yuan away now, even though Yuan was clearly trying to close the distance between them again, but that didn't mean he had stopped caring, or that his feelings for Yuan had disappeared.
"Let's go," Li Yue said, standing in the doorway with Yuan beside her.
