ai Zhuang is unusually large, with the front hall and back garden connected. The tables in the front hall have been cleared, and the empty space is now packed with people.Xu Yixue held onto Xu Hengwen...The air that everyone had been holding onto seemed to ease with the two people's departure. The whole person felt as if all their strength had suddenly been drained, standing weakly.

Li Haichang watched the two people disappear from sight, reaching out into the air as if to pull them back. His eyes were anxious and fervent yet restrained.

He held back and sent off all the guests with his family before finally calling Li Tingting over to inquire about what had happened.

In the loft beside the second-floor room, a figure stood looking faintly indifferent as the two left. He lowered his gaze to the red wine in his hand, his eyes gazing deeply into the distance.

After leaving the cloud-top chamber, Xu Yixue felt a deep weariness that stemmed not from the rumors and idle gossip, but from staying up late last night and being brought here early this morning.

Looking at the caller ID, Gu Xicheng pulled open the floor-to-ceiling window leading to the balcony and walked out, simultaneously answering the phone.

From beside his ear, Ye Dongyang's voice could be heard.

"Big brother, they said you beat someone up"

Gu Xi became nonchalantly with one hand tucked into his pocket, gazing out at the panoramic view of the imperial capital.

He Yunjian Shu Zhuang is the best and highest place in the Imperial Capital. Each room has the best view, overlooking the entire Imperial Capital.

"Yes, it wasn't leaked by the Lee family, but by other guests who recorded it. Even Ms. Xu's appearance was captured very clearly." After a moment of silence, Ye Dongyang continued.Xicheng's office, knocked on the door, and said to him: "There are still two pots that need to be placed in your office"After finishing, he waved to signal the two people who were still holding the po...
