Gu Nanyan paused in the act of changing her shoes. She hadn't felt a headache coming on, but listening to what the housekeeper said, it suddenly hit her.

After the fight with Lu Beicheng that day, Gu Nanyan had considered not staying in Yulin Bay; however, every time she thought about her mother going to her in a blubbering mess, Gu Nanyan just couldn't bring herself to leave.
Ever since she was little, she wasn't afraid of anything—except Zhao Zhiqiu crying.
Back when she was a child, she even mused that she might be the reborn Sun Wukong and that Zhao Zhiqiu was her Tang Sanzang; when Zhao Zhiqiu cried, it was like reciting the tightening spell, specifically designed to control her.
Besides, the three-year term given by Lu Tianyang was only four months from ending. She had endured for more than two years, so she could grit her teeth through these few months. Perhaps Lu Beicheng wouldn't come back again.
