Seeing Xu You's indifferent attitude, Chen Mo's mouth twitched.
If it were anyone else who dared to give him such a look, they'd have learned what it means to "wear small shoes"—being in constant trouble!
But facing Mr. Xu, he couldn't get angry at all; instead, he inexplicably felt a bit guilty...
Besides, Ye Zi'e's attitude was also strange. Although she was his superior, she hovered around Xu You all day, as if she were the subordinate.
"Could she be a young lady from some noble family, gaining experience out here?"
"And Xu You's name sounds so familiar. I'm sure I've heard it somewhere before, but I just can't remember where..."
Each time Chen Mo tried to ponder over this, his mind seemed clouded as if covered in a thin fog, always feeling like he was overlooking something important.
Knock knock knock—
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
County Magistrate Ji's voice came from outside: "Sir, the hour is getting late. We should prepare to depart."
