Bai Luo's cheeks were bright red, and sweat kept beading on her forehead. She looked as if she were trapped inside a steamer.
"Damn it, how could this happen!" Bai Luo said, frowning. There was nothing she could do.
Bai Luo didn't want Lin Wanxue and the others to worry about her, so she gritted her teeth, got out of bed, got dressed, and prepared to sneak out of Jiang Mansion.
Just then,
Knock, knock, knock!
Someone knocked on Bai Luo's door, and Lin Wanxue's voice followed. "Master, may I come in?"
Bai Luo gritted her teeth. To be honest, she was in no condition to open the door.
"Master?" When Lin Wanxue got no response from inside, she called out again.
Bai Luo took a deep breath and slowly calmed herself down.
In the end, Bai Luo opened the door and forced a smile at Lin Wanxue. "Oh, it's you, Wanxue. What is it?"
Seeing Bai Luo like this, Lin Wanxue's heart gave a lurch. Something felt terribly wrong.
"Master, why do you look so pale? What's wrong?" Lin Wanxue asked, looking at Bai Luo.
"N-nothing's wrong!" Bai Luo shook her head.
"Really? You're not lying to me, are you?" Seeing Bai Luo in this state, Lin Wanxue still couldn't quite believe her.
"Why would I lie to you?" Bai Luo said with a forced, carefree smile.
Seeing Bai Luo like this only made Lin Wanxue more uneasy. But she didn't dare ask outright, afraid she might provoke Bai Luo into pushing her away.
Lin Wanxue nodded. "All right, then. Get some rest, Master. I'll head back."
"Mm, okay!" After replying, Bai Luo watched Lin Wanxue leave her room.
After leaving Bai Luo's room, Lin Wanxue kept turning over what she'd just seen in her mind. She couldn't stop
