Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Taut Tension of a Former Lover

The radiant sunshine settled onto Qiao Xiaon'an's delicate, smooth hair, casting a beautiful glow. Yun Mo gently ruffled her hair, brushing away the loose strands on her forehead. The look in his eyes as they fell on her face was somewhat filled with regret, feeling as if their meeting came too late.

"Amo, let's go eat. The auction starts at half-past one."

"Hmm, is there a restaurant nearby that you like?"

"Yes, it's quite spicy, which you may not like. I can take you somewhere with milder food. Look, there's a Hakka restaurant upstairs, they serve the food quite fast."
