And in this world, besides myself, only Gu Zijun would wholeheartedly help her.

"But I sent people to inquire, and they couldn't find the Second Madam at the Xiaoyao Sect."

"The Xiaoyao Sect is hidden from the world. If Sect Master Tang wants to help her deceive everyone, it would be an easy thing."

"Perhaps he disguised himself to conceal his background."

As the two were chatting, a beautiful figure swept past the door. A moment later, Lin Ruoyan swayed in with her slender waist and softly asked with concern,

"Jinheng, still awake so late? Perfect, I can take a good look at you!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Chen Jinheng's eyes, and he quickly put the painting in his hand into the painting tube.

"Miss Lin, is it important that you've come to see me so late?"

Han Ying looked at the newcomer, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Miss Lin!"

"Han Ying, I have something to say to General Chen. You may leave now."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinheng coldly replied, "Miss Lin, what business you have with me is something outsiders cannot know?"

Upon hearing this, Han Ying, who was about to take a step, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Lin Ruoyan's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she nestled into Chen Jinheng's arms, sobbing.

"Jinheng, do you dislike me that much?"

If you really don't like me, why did you keep me in the Marquis's mansion?

Chen Jinheng, you do care about me, right?

Chen Jinheng looked at the beauty in his arms and let out a heavy sigh.

He gently pushed her away with both hands and placed her in the chair next to him.

"Ruoyan, I don't have those kinds of feelings for you."
