Mu Yiliang discreetly let out a sigh of relief.
"That's for the best." She gave him one final glance and turned to leave.
Her footsteps gradually quickened, as if afraid someone might see she had talked with Gu Qingqian.
Luckily, there weren't any servants here… Mu Yiliang felt the cold sweat on her back and couldn't help but smile wryly.
She hadn't realized that deep down, she was so terrified.
Everything in the manor was as usual, and Mu Yiliang gradually calmed down as she returned to her room.
Unexpectedly, upon opening the door, she found Yan Sijue standing by the window with his back to her.
Mu Yiliang's heart skipped a beat.
She took a deep breath and put on a smile: "Sijue, where did you just go? I was looking everywhere for you!"
The man turned and glanced at her, smiling slightly: "Is that so?"
His expression looked somewhat peculiar, as if understanding yet mocking.
