Zhao Nuanyue's heart fluttered with joy at Hua Yusen's approval.
"Okay, then goodnight, Hua," Zhao Nuanyue said softly. "I want to say it one more time: even though I have my own little schemes, I truly don't have it in me to harm anyone. As for dealing with Wang Dadan and Liu Lanhua from Nianqiao Village, that was only because they came after us first. I only retaliated to protect myself."
"I understand," Hua Yusen said with a smile. "You really are a smart and decisive young woman."
"Thank you." A warmth spread through Zhao Nuanyue's heart. At least for now, Hua Yusen still trusted her. 'His earlier sternness was probably just because he was upset I didn't tell him.'
'Maybe he was just worried about me.'
Zhao Nuanyue returned to her room but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
