Although Nangong Yun was deeply infatuated with Mu Xiaojiu, she was also terribly afraid of him.
It would be best if she returned before Mr. Xiaojiu noticed her to avoid making him angry again.
Later, she would have to ask her brother to plead with Mr. Xiaojiu and perhaps, when his anger subsided, it wouldn't be so bad.
Nangong Yun was now the successor of the Nangong Family. Nangong Xu, who has always been engrossed in medical studies, didn't care at all about family affairs.
Moreover, he was an illegitimate child before, his only connection to the Nangong family was his father.
After his father passed away, he basically stopped returning to the Nangong family.
Now, of course, the old gentleman loved only Nangong Yun.
When the child said she was uncomfortable and wanted to go home, the old gentleman naturally would not stop her.
Nangong Yun left, looking back constantly as she walked away.
Unfortunately, Mu Xiaojiu never noticed her from beginning to end.
