章 194: Chapter 194: To Eliminate Future Troubles

Marquis Mu Houchu had no intention to stay any longer. He simply glanced at Old Man Chen and turned to leave.

"What's the matter?" Mu Houchu asked coolly.

Chen Yining bit her lip. Did she need a reason to seek him out?

"I initially heard news of your death... I thought you..." Chen Yining's face showed a trace of relief. "Thankfully, you're still alive and even specially rushed back. Otherwise, who knows what chaos the capital would descend into? I'm afraid I would also suffer the consequences."

Mu Houchu suddenly looked at her. A concealed surge of joy filled Chen Yining's heart. He rarely gazed at her so earnestly. Unable to suppress the corners of her lips from lifting, her demeanor was coy and charming.
