"What are you going back to the manor for?" she asked hurriedly.
"Returning home to embrace my beloved wife."
He lazily tossed out a sentence, took a long stride, and walked away.
Xiao Tang secretly rubbed her forehead in the back, feeling both helpless and amused, but she gave up on pursuing the man.
The Imperial Preceptor's Residence.
