Xiao Heng didn't speak for a long time, and Ye Zhi Ning was filled with disappointment. She thought Xiao Heng would reject her staying just like before, so she planned to speak before his rejection, to save some face for herself.
But just as Ye Zhi Ning was about to speak, Xiao Heng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Then stay."
This answer made Ye Zhi Ning so pleasantly surprised that she wanted to cry; she hadn't expected Xiao Heng would really agree.
Meng Jingyi immediately said joyfully, "Great, Sister Ye, wait, I'll go ask Nanny Gao to prepare a room for you right away."
With that, she ran out eagerly.
After Meng Jingyi left, Ye Zhi Ning looked at Xiao Heng with a gentle face, "Ah Heng..."
"Return home first thing in the morning," Xiao Heng interrupted Ye Zhi Ning's words.
Ye Zhi Ning's smile froze on her face, but then she nodded with a faint smile, "Okay."
At the very least, she had taken a step closer to him, hadn't she?
