In the villa at Tinglan Waterside, Qin Yuji leaned against the fireplace, engrossed in her book, and occasionally she would look up at the slightly ajar door of the study.
After returning from Hot Spring Villa, Ah Cheng left and then returned. Afterwards, the two of them stayed in the study without coming out. Even during dinner, although both sat at the dining table, Qin Yuji could clearly sense that Chi Jingxuan was somewhat absent-minded.
Had Lin Xixi been found? Was there any movement from the Lin family?
Or was there progress with the photo related to Shen Qin?
...
Her mind cluttered with thoughts, Qin Yuji truly wanted to put down her book, go upstairs to listen, rather than sitting here lost in wild speculations.
However, as soon as this idea surfaced, Qin Yuji immediately dismissed it.
"Ah..."
She emitted an almost inaudible sigh and returned her focus to the book in front of her.
Up in the study on the second floor, smoke swirled around.
