Lu Jinglan gripped her handkerchief tightly, waiting for Lu Zhan's answer.
She hoped his answer would be a denial.
But it was already dark, and there he was, standing right outside Zhi Wan's courtyard, looking as if he were about to enter. She couldn't deceive herself.
'Doesn't Lu Zhan always place great importance on rules and etiquette?'
'So what is he doing now?'
Even if he saw Zhi Wan as a sister, it was still improper for him to set foot in her courtyard.
And she had a nagging feeling that this wasn't the first time Lu Zhan had entered Zhi Wan's courtyard.
'Could something have happened between them during their time in Yangzhou?'
At this realization, her heart twisted as if stabbed by a knife, and she was consumed by jealousy and resentment.
Lu Zhan hadn't expected to run into the two of them either.
But in response to Lu Lan's question, he didn't answer. He just gave a cold nod, walked straight past them, and went inside.
His forthrightness took Lu Lan by surprise.
