Before dawn, Gu Yanjing set off from the Gu Mansion.
Qiao Yuxian didn't see him off; she just stood by the window, watching him leave the courtyard.
Then she watched the car lights in the distance slowly disappear beyond the courtyard walls.
The Gu Mansion courtyard was clearly filled with lanterns.
But after those distant lights vanished, she felt the outside was completely dark.
She stared at the direction he left, standing by the window for a long time. Only when she felt really tired did she return to her bedroom, lie down, and drift off to sleep.
In the morning, Huang Qi came again to draw blood and check the pulse.
Aunt Mei brought him in since Gu Yanjing wasn't there.
Perhaps it was because Mr. Gu wasn't there that Qiao Yuxian felt out of sorts.
She woke up as soon as Huang Qi arrived.
After Huang Qi left, she couldn't fall back asleep, so she got up, washed up, and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Old Sir Gu was always keeping an eye on Qiao Yuxian.
