When they entered the Duke Residence, Zhou Gu marched ahead while Su Rong followed in his steps. As they left, Su Rong was in front with Zhou Gu behind. She didn't quicken her pace, and neither did he.
The two maintained their silence until they reached the gates of the Duke Residence.
After crossing the threshold, Su Rong stopped and turned around to look at Zhou Gu. His face was impassive, neither icy cold nor dark as before; he no longer emitted the murderous aura, nor was he filled with fury. His ability to regain his composure so quickly was beyond her expectations. She had assumed that she would never see him again, once she stepped out of the Duke Residence. Little did she expect him to personally retrieve the marriage contract, watch as she tore it up, and even volunteer to see her out.
