"Young Master Chuanran," Tingli cautiously observed Shu Chuanran's suddenly changed expression, "Do you need to see the Second Miss? Perhaps you could come again tomorrow? She's already asleep, I..."

He waved his hand to interrupt Tingli, but Shu Chuanran remained silent. He turned to look at the tightly closed door, the dimness in his pupils unchanged.

When Tingli couldn't help but want to ask again, he looked away and then turned and left.

He returned to his own villa.

The mess that Zhang Youye had previously created has been completely cleaned up.

Unable to sit down on a corner of the sofa, Shu Chuanran turned his neck and looked at the clock on the wall: 10:15.

Deep within this darkness, the surrounding silence felt like entering an eerie abyss, and even the flowing air was forcibly stilled.

Unable to sleep, Shu Chuanran picked up her phone, intending to call some friends to drink and drown her sorrows.

The phone rang a few times and was quickly answered.

"Chuanran? Why are you calling me all of a sudden? You're living in the ancestral home now, with the old man there, so we don't dare to bother you every day. How's your recovery going?"

Hearing the commotion on the other end of the phone, and faintly hearing the roar of a car engine, Shu Chuanran's heart skipped a beat.

"You guys are racing again?"

"Yeah, there's an event tonight, so we guys came over to join in the fun. Same old spot, on the mountain road, the area that the young master created. How's your recovery going? Want to come and hang out with us? Back when nobody was watching you abroad, you've forgotten how wild you were having."

If you can't sleep, it'll be good to get some fresh air. After gently moving his injured arm, Shu Chuanran nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you guys wait for me, I'm coming over now."

Just as I was about to hang up, another shout came from the other end.

"Chuanran! Bring your sister too! It's been so long since I've seen her, I miss her terribly. Why are you protecting her so much! Bring her out to play with us."

"Get lost."

After uttering those three words, Shu Chuanran hung up the phone.
