But now...
He stared at the Bai Family's file, feeling as though a bone was stuck in his throat.
After a moment, Huo Sichen said, "I have some matters to attend to. I'll be stepping out."
Walking out of the office, he called Luo Ning: "Where are you?"
Yesterday, her son had gotten married, and Luo Ning had been busy until late into the night before she could rest.
She had just woken up.
She mentioned that she was at home and learned that her son was rushing back from the Imperial City but wanted to meet her alone outside.
Luo Ning's expression froze.
She felt a little panicked. The door was suddenly pushed open, startling her.
The person who entered startled her even more with their reaction.
Zongzheng Jie frowned. "What's wrong?"
Ever since she woke up after the suicide attempt, he had felt her mental state wasn't quite right.
