Xu Lingyin gazed intently at Chen Pingchuan's resolute face.
At first, her expression was cold, but after a moment, once she confirmed his determination, a charming smile bloomed on her face. She let out a light laugh. "You've got personality. I like it."
Xu Lingyin's red lips parted slightly as she continued in a soft voice, "Honestly, whether the woman beside you stays or goes makes no difference to me.
"After all, the only one on my mind right now is you.
"But since you insist so strongly, I'll grant your request as a little welcoming gift."
With that, her beautiful eyes shimmered. Acknowledging Chen Pingchuan's resolve, she gave a slight nod and ordered her guards, "Let the girl go."
Upon receiving Xu Lingyin's command, the guards quickly cleared a path wide enough for one person to pass.
Wei Xi, however, had already gone pale. Her lips trembled slightly, and her hands clutched Chen Pingchuan's arm so tightly that her fingertips turned white.
