The next morning, Mr. Zhongli appeared beside Lin Huan as usual. Everyone was used to it, as if Mr. Zhongli's occasional appearance beside the father and daughter was a trivial matter.

Even Huixin couldn't help but smile, leaning forward slightly to greet Mr. Zhongli.

Mr. Zhongli returned the greeting with an elegant gesture and a calm expression. Every move he made was just right, as if he was born to be here, blending perfectly with everything around him. His presence made people feel peaceful and at ease, as if time had stopped.

Perhaps it was because Mr. Zhongli's presence was too common that Huixin did not notice that the corners of Mr. Zhongli's mouth were slightly raised with an imperceptible arc. This smile was not out of politeness or habit, but a true expression of his inner feelings. This smile from the heart made his originally handsome face even more friendly and gentle.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door. Although the sound was not loud, it broke the quiet atmosphere in the room. A moment later, a servant ran in hurriedly and reported to everyone in the main room, "Miss Yeqi is back and wants to see Miss Lin Huan."

Lin Huan's heart moved, and he hurried out of the house to meet him.

From a distance, I saw a tall girl walking slowly in front of me. She was wearing a plain white long skirt, with a lifelike red plum blossom embroidered on the hem, which was like a vermilion in the snow, particularly eye-catching; a light blue ribbon tied around her waist made her figure even more light and graceful. She carried a long sword on her back, the blade flashing with cold light, as if it contained endless power and mystery.

The girl's black and shiny hair falls on her shoulders like a waterfall, tied simply behind her head. She doesn't wear any gorgeous headdress, but exudes a natural and pure beauty. Her skin is as white as snow, as delicate and smooth as jade carving; her eyebrows are as dark as distant black, gently raised, revealing a hint of determination and courage; her eyes are clear and bright, like the brightest stars in the night sky, shining brightly. The most special thing is that there is a touch of light red between her eyebrows, like a blooming peach blossom, which adds a bit of charm and beauty to her.

Looking down, the girl wore a small ice-blue bracelet on her slender wrist. It was crystal clear and glowed with a faint light, which contrasted with her white dress, making her look even more beautiful and charming. Her steps were graceful and calm, and every step seemed to be on the clouds. She had an extraordinary temperament that made people fall in love with her.

Lin Huan paused, and the girl had already come to her. She bowed to her parents and elders... and Mr. Zhongli, with full courtesy. Then she took Lin Huan's arm affectionately and smiled.

"Auntie Huan~"

"Aqi." Lin Huan raised his lips slightly, stretched out his hand and gently patted Yeqi's shoulder, and asked with concern: "Where are your uncle Xingzhi and your brothers and sisters? Why did you come back alone?"

Ye Qi's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She lowered her head and replied softly, "Aunt, my uncle asked me to come find you. He told me to come back and look for you, saying... Xiao Qiqi had a problem... and he needed you to go to Wangshu Inn immediately."

When Lin Huan heard this, her heart tightened, and a trace of worry appeared on her face. She frowned and said softly: "Okay, let's go over there quickly. I just hope that Xiao Qiqi is not in any serious trouble..."

After saying that, she turned hurriedly and walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute, Ah Huan..." Mr. Zhongli's voice came from behind, with a hint of imperceptible urgency. Lin Huan stopped and looked back, only to see Mr. Zhongli standing with his hands behind his back, looking at her quietly.

"But remember what I told you before..."

Lin Huan nodded, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them again, and replied softly: "Don't worry, sir... Ah Huan knows..."
