"We're being watched." Jiang Nanfei placed her index finger against her lips to signal Gongxi Yunqi to stay quiet, then whispered softly, "Stay here and keep guard. I'll go out and take a look." She had no idea how long they'd been under surveillance. She regretted not being more vigilant earlier, instead choosing to block out the noise by wearing earplugs.
Gongxi Yunqi grabbed her wrist abruptly, his handsome face steady and resolute. "You stay. I'll go."
Jiang Nanfei gave him a meaningful look, then swiftly brushed off his grasp. Propping herself up against the windowsill with one hand, her movements were agile and precise as she leapt out. Within moments, she had disappeared, her speed leaving Gongxi Yunqi completely stunned. Amid the shock, what lingered more was a bitter taste of defeat.
It turned out that while he was constantly striving, Jiang Nanfei was advancing at an astonishing pace as well.
