The floor was a disaster zone, littered with the broken remains of various containers she had smashed. Her injured leg, wrapped in Moonlight Vine bandages, was elevated in a sling. Hearing the noise, Ruan Ning turned her head. Her expression immediately soured the moment she saw Ruan Fu. Grabbing a cushion, she hurled it straight at her.
