Until later, Yun Kezhi was crying so much she almost fainted. Xiao Tonghao, not wanting her to be so upset, sent her home first.
Gu Xiaomo watched as Xiao Tonghao left with Yun Kezhi in his arms.
He walked over to Xia Zhisu and said, "Zhisu, it's late. Let's head back too."
Xia Zhisu said, "You guys go ahead, I'll stay with him a bit longer."
Gu Xiaomo wanted to say something, but any more words of comfort would be futile.
She left with Qiao Yu first.
Ye Luo and the butler dealt with the Ling Family matters and had already left early.
Only the guard, Jing Rui, stayed by the side all along.
Xia Zhisu said, "Jing Rui, you can go back. Let me have some quiet time alone."
Jing Rui knew she didn't want to be disturbed, so he bowed and withdrew.
Not until everyone had left did a small figure emerge from the corner.
It was Xiaodong.
Xia Zhisu glanced at him, smiled slightly, and took his hand.
Who knows how much time passed.
It seemed like the sky was beginning to lighten.
