章節 41: Chapter 41: Induction

Qiao Zhaoyue rubbed her temples; she had gone to sleep late last night, leading to an aching body and an especially groggy head now.

After a simple wash, Qiao Zhaoyue noticed while getting dressed that a delicate pendant had appeared around her neck. She stared at it momentarily, then touched the pendant hanging at her chest.

She remembered that after accepting the necklace last night, Ji Mingcheng had turned and left without uttering another word.

But this pendant...

After pondering for a moment, Qiao Zhaoyue stored the necklace in a drawer, planning to find an opportunity to return it to him.

After descending the stairs, the butler informed her that the Grande Dame of the Fu Family and Fu Mingzhu had arrived and were chatting downstairs.

Qiao Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows slightly; it was somewhat unexpected that the Grande Dame and Fu Mingzhu would pay a visit.

"Zhaoyue, you're awake? Are you hungry?" the Grande Dame asked with concern upon seeing Qiao Zhaoyue come down.
