A Cup of Wine Settles the Matter

Duan Rong wanted Xiao Yu to move into the Lü Family Estate because he was worried about her safety.

But he could not say this outright. Though he absolutely trusted both Xiao Yu and Lü Qingzhu, if he told them that he had made an enemy of Shen Tu Ying, a Cave Illumination Realm expert and an elder of the sect—and that she had even once sent her disciple to attack him in the God and Demon Ruins—it would only make Xiao Yu and Lü Qingzhu worry for him.

After speaking, Duan Rong fixed Xiao Yu with a profound gaze.

The moment Xiao Yu met Duan Rong's eyes, she knew that he truly wanted her to move into the Lü Family Estate. Though she did not know why he had such thoughts, she believed he must have his reasons.

In just a moment, she no longer hesitated.

With a solemn expression, Xiao Yu said, "Husband is right. So long as our hearts are united, even the slightest stir outside cannot affect us. Little Seven and I will pack up and move over."

"That is exactly how it should be," Duan Rong said. In that instant when their eyes met, the two of them clearly shared an unspoken understanding.

Xiao Yu rose and bowed. "Husband, then I'll go pack our things."

Duan Rong nodded.

Xiao Yu immediately left.

Lü Qingzhu smiled. "Sister Xiao, let me help you."

Xiao Yu turned back, her smile blooming like a flower. "Then thank you, little sister."

The two went hand in hand toward the Inner Room, while Duan Rong sat in the hall sipping clear tea.

The courtyard on this mountain top had only been built a few months ago at most. Xiao Yu and Zhu Xiaoqi did not have many possessions to begin with.
