Of course, he had seen her enter his house and later leave in the wee hours.
In all honesty, he had been glad that she'd left silently without a word.
If she hadn't, he could not imagine how he would have addressed the awkward situation the next morning when they bumped into each other.
He could never look upon that night as a serious encounter, because he was too deeply in love with little troublemaker. It was how he'd expressed it to his military friends at the club: He would never allow himself to meet another girl and, even if he did, he would only let her down.
He had been through so much with little troublemaker. When he had almost drowned, everyone except her had given up on him. During his toughest times, only little troublemaker had offered him comfort.
Even if Qin Zhi'ai unwittingly occupied a spot in his heart, he would never forget or part with little troublemaker.
