Li Xianglu’s face turned bright red; she had been terrified just moments before. If it had been discovered that she was the one snooping, it would have been very bad. It wasn’t a big deal initially, but considering those involved were going out of their way to hide their secret tryst in such a place, especially the girl who had arranged encounters with two different groups of people, it was indeed a shocking secret. She figured they would definitely try to find her, and if there were too many secrets involved, she herself could be in danger.
Having calmed herself, Li Xianglu thought for a moment. Upon reaching the entrance to her home and ensuring no one was around, she spoke to the departing Qin Xi: "Brother Qin, I actually saw someone just now."
Under the moonlight, Qin Xi raised an eyebrow, his tall and graceful figure exuding a cool air. Li Xianglu blinked and continued: "How about we talk in my kitchen?"
Qin Xi nodded indifferently and replied: "Alright."
Li Xianglu entered the yard, secured the door, and then lit an oil lamp. She made a low inquiry in front of the old master’s window; the old man was already asleep. Only then did she carefully carry the oil lamp to the kitchen.
By this time, Qin Xi was already sitting at the dining table, his long legs awkwardly curled up.
Li Xianglu quickly took a seat and asked: "Brother Qin, would you like some water?"
Qin Xi shook his head: "No need; just tell me what’s going on."
Li Xianglu settled herself and didn’t rush to speak. Instead, she poured herself a big cup of hot water to hold, and after a long while, she finally said: "That Qin Miao, is she a relative of yours?"
Qin Xi’s eyes suddenly widened, but upon seeing Li Xianglu’s shining black eyes in the dim light, he quickly controlled his expression and asked in a suppressed voice: "You saw her?"
Li Xianglu swallowed and replied: "Yes, I did," and then looked intently at Qin Xi.
