Chapter 430 Confession
A sliver of rosy glow seeped in through the window, heralding the break of dawn. A glance around the room revealed it was neat and tidy, spotlessly clean. The crimson candle on the table was about to burn out, and the rhododendrons that had bloomed the night before were taken away. The place was deserted and left without a trace.
No wonder yesterday's wine tasted strange; it had been laced with a sedative by the Goryeo woman. So much for being a hunter; the hunter was blinded by the prey. Lin Wanrong rubbed his slightly aching forehead, struggling to rise. His eyes caught the bright little flower on the bed, and he stared, momentarily stunned.
Being seduced by a young girl, he must be the first in history. To think that the Goryeo woman had such courage, usually so soft and weak, yet so fierce at the critical moment. Sadly, in the haze of sleep, he had not appreciated her good figure and smooth skin. A great pity indeed.
He shook his head, tidying up the room with patience. The Goryeo woman had come quietly and left resolutely, without leaving a word or even a note. Reflecting on the mood and her expression the previous night, a sudden understanding dawned on him, albeit too late.
He put the document signed last night into his bosom and reluctantly went downstairs. All around was desolate, without a trace of anyone. The Goryeo woman's determination was clear. Thinking back on everything, it was like a spring dream. Looking back at the quiet little building, unable to cry or laugh, a myriad of indescribable feelings welled in his heart.
The people of Great Hua were early risers. Although it was before dawn, the streets were already filled with early pedestrians. Suddenly remembering that he hadn't returned the previous night, he wondered how he would explain himself if asked by Qingxuan and others. The Goryeo woman had truly put him in a terrible spot. His heart filled with silent complaints, he quickened his steps, hurrying home.
Upon reaching the Lin residence, he found the main gate tightly closed, silent and peaceful, presumably Qingxuan and the others were still asleep. His anxiety eased slightly. He knew better than to knock at this hour, and after a stealthy look around, he saw that the sky was still dim with no one in sight. His heart rejoiced, and he fetched a few large stones to step on. With great effort, he found a hollowed-out windowsill on the wall and clenched his teeth as he climbed up.
"Woof, woof!" "Woof, woof!" Suddenly, a sharp bark came from someone's yard. Lord Lin, who was holding onto the wall, nearly fell. He held his breath and inhaled deeply, not daring to move an inch.
