Qiao Yongyong wandered inside and outside the Ning Mansion with Aunt Xia.
The Ning Family residence is located in an area where high-ranking officials in Beijing live together, adorned with dignified and heavy decoration. The guards at the entrance, who change shifts regularly, are responsible for the Ning Family's safety, exuding a low-key imperial aristocracy compared to typical wealthy business families.
It was getting late, and Qiao Yongyong and Aunt Xia entered the villa. Alone, she went upstairs and happened to see Ning Xiaochuan walking towards her, as if he had just come out of Nie Yixiao's room, appearing a bit tense.
Qiao Yongyong called out, "Uncle Ning."
Ning Xiaochuan seemed surprised that Qiao Yongyong had come upstairs so quickly, instinctively hiding his hand behind him as if concealing something, yet still showing a kindly smile: "So quick up the stairs, huh."
"Yes. Uncle Ning, is there anything wrong?"
Ning Xiaochuan was taken aback: "No, not at all, why?"
