章 677: Informed of His Return

As Li Yiran pondered, a sudden noise came from the balcony. She promptly rose and approached, opening the balcony door.

Li Yi entered from outside.

Li Yiran hastily closed the door and reproached, "Didn't I say, if there's nothing urgent, don't come to me during this time? If someone sees you now, it'll be impossible to clear my name."

She was aware of Li Yi's feelings towards her. Although he was devoted, he wasn't among her preferred choices. Nevertheless, Li Yi remained her loyal follower.

In ordinary times, she treated Li Yi more amicably when he was useful. If there was no utility, she avoided even glancing at him.

She wasn't concerned about Li Yi leaving her; she knew she was the unattainable in his eyes, an irreplaceable presence.
