Chi Xingye didn't know how long she had cried when suddenly the door burst open.
She turned around and when she saw the man at the doorway, she was stunned for a second before quickly turning her face away, her back to Helian Chengyan, wiping the tears from her face.
"How... how are you back?" Chi Xingye asked, steadying her emotions.
"Surprised?" Helian Chengyan's voice sounded as usual.
"No, not at all."
Obviously, he and Mi Luo'er were still at the palace; his sudden return was naturally surprising. She couldn't decide whether to be happy or sad...
"Was it you who had Mi Luo'er deliver the documents to me?" Helian Chengyan stopped behind her.
His gaze dark and complex as he stared at her profile.
"...Yes."
Helian Chengyan's fists suddenly clenched, his breathing intensified, "Why didn't you come yourself?"
