Ji Ziyue turned her head, looking at Gu Sheng with a complicated expression in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Ji Ye. I'm fine. You go back first—I have my own plans, so don't worry about me."
Ji Ziyue softly instructed Ji Ye.
"But, miss, the family is searching for you, so you should return as soon as possible."
Ji Ye said with a pleading tone, his face crestfallen.
"Tell them I'm fine. I'll return soon."
Ji Ziyue seemed a little impatient. After speaking, her face turned serious as she said, "Remember, do not disclose my whereabouts to them. Otherwise, when I return, I won't forgive you."
Ji Ye knew Ji Ziyue's temperament—once she decided something, it was hard to change her mind.
"Alright, miss, I'll do as you say. But please be careful; if anything happens, send someone to notify me at once."
Ji Ye nodded, looking quite helpless.
Ji Ziyue smiled and nodded back, "Don't worry, I will. Now, go back and tell them all is well with me."
