After handling Lin Jiawei's affairs, Ling Chen took Nanrong Wanqing directly back to Wealthy Manor.
On the way back, Ling Chen drove in silence, his thoughts having flown to who-knows-where. Sensing Ling Chen's unusual demeanor, Nanrong Wanqing hesitated several times, but ultimately resisted the impulse to ask what was on his mind.
Upon reaching the Nanrong Family home, Ling Chen escorted Nanrong Wanqing back to her room, then turned around preparing to leave. Seeing him about to take his leave, Nanrong Wanqing grabbed his hand and asked, "You've been distracted ever since we returned. Are you troubled by something?"
Ling Chen put on a strained smile and said, "No, I'm just a bit tired these past few days."
