Zhao Nuanyue didn't yet know about her brother and sister's little scheme, but even if she did, she would only offer a wry smile. In truth, she would much rather live here at Qingya Lake than in the Hua family's large estate.

To this day, Zhao Nuanyue still hadn't gotten used to the idea of living with Hua Yusen's parents.
Zhao Nuanyue respected them as elders but didn't feel any real closeness to them. Living together would surely make her feel ill at ease. Besides, she still had her younger brother and sister, and with no parents to help, Zhao Nuanyue couldn't bear to leave them behind.
"Don't go, Sister," Little Red Carp mumbled in her sleep. Though her distress during the day had been an act, the worry truly existed in her heart.
