Shen Ningyuan blinked for a while before she adjusted to the darkness.

She could clearly feel that the dark shadow that rushed in had no killing intention towards her.

At this moment, Shen Ningyuan's mind was full of thoughts.

He called out tentatively.

"Xie Wanzhou, is that you?"

Soon, there was a response from the darkness, "Yeah."

Just one word instantly soothed her anxious mood.

By this time, Shen Ningyuan had also adapted to the darkness.

He moved gently towards the shadow.

There was a barely perceptible hint of crying in his voice.

"You, why did you come just now?"

Xie Wanzhou keenly sensed the fear and terror in her voice.

There was a tingling pain in my heart.

It was like countless embroidery needles constantly pricking my heart.

The pain was endless.

In the darkness, Xie Wanzhou reached out and held the girl in front of him tightly in his arms.

He buried his head in her neck and spoke in a muffled voice.

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming."

Just two short words made the grievances and resentment in her heart seem to have found an outlet and burst out.

Tears flowed silently.

It passed across his cheek, disappeared into his neck, and dripped onto Xie Wanzhou's cheek.

Xie Wanzhou raised his head and kept a slight distance from her.

He reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her softly.

"There was a small problem, but it's okay, it's been resolved. You can leave the mansion tomorrow."

Shen Ningyuan's heart was filled with complex emotions.

In the darkness, she stared at him blankly.

For a moment, I was speechless and didn't know what to say.
