Kapitel 811: Chapter 811 Brief Warm Intentions (3)

Lizhong had already learned about the affair between Xiao Ruiyuan and Mo Yan from Lixiu by the time Xiao Ruiyuan personally came to give New Year's gifts. Although it was not officially settled, it was all but certain. Seeing Xiao Ruiyuan like this, Lizhong felt something was improper, yet he didn't know how to persuade him to leave.

As he was struggling with what to do, the carriage door made a slight noise and closed from the inside.

Lizhong: "..."

Tonight was New Year's Eve, a night for family reunions. Thousands of lights shone, dispelling the darkness of late night and warming the heart.

The clip-clop of horse hooves echoed in the deserted streets, and from the houses on both sides, one could faintly hear the sounds of people staying up late, laughing and talking merrily.

Lizhong drove the carriage to the city gates and noticed that they were already closed. It was then that he remembered that night-time exit was forbidden in Jing City, and the gates were closed early.
