Zhao Hanzhang's mood came and went quickly. With Fu Tinghan's comforting words, she was full of energy again. She nodded heavily and said, "You're right, we just need to do our best!"
The two of them exchanged smiles, their eyes seemingly filled with stars.
When Zhao Ming and Ji Yuan came out, they saw the two of them gazing at each other affectionately under the lantern light, causing their steps to pause involuntarily.
Ji Yuan was about to find an excuse to send Zhao Ming away, when he heard him clear his throat softly, leaving Ji Yuan in silence.
Hearing the noise, Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan turned around, still smiling.
Seeing the two of them, Zhao Hanzhang's smile widened. She called out cheerfully, "Uncle Ming, Mr. Ji."
Zhao Ming, however, felt her smile was quite fake, entirely different from the genuine smile before, with no emotion, so he couldn't be bothered to waste words, saying directly, "Have someone open the city gate, I need to leave."
