Old Master Lu calmly said, "No need to inquire. He is always alert. As long as he starts suspecting me, he will find out sooner or later. As for whether he's infatuated or indifferent, none of it matters. With time, he will naturally forget."
"Understood."
"Make sure to keep an eye on Chi Nuan. Do not let her make any contact with the outside world."
"Understood."
"I am going to bed now!" Old Master Lu said, leaning on his cane as he slowly stood up.

That night, Lu Zhan couldn't sleep well, nor could Chi Nuan.
The Lu Family's old house is built by the mountains and water. Such a house has fresh air, but during the autumn and winter nights, it is especially cold.
And there was no heating here.
Even with a thick down comforter, her hands and feet were still cold.
Chi Nuan hugged a pillow, sat at the head of the bed, and looked out at the moonlight, thinking of his warm embrace.
