"You've put your reading to good use."
Chen Sansi had no idea if this person was truly reasonable to the extent of putting justice before family, or if Wen Qiushi had indeed committed so many atrocities that even his own sister could no longer turn a blind eye.
He didn't care.
The room fell into silence.
After a while,
Wen Chengrui, following her usual routine, blew out the candle and sat quietly behind the desk waiting.
This wait
lasted two hours.
Until the second watch of the night, there was no activity.
"It seems he won't be coming tonight."
Wen Chengrui started to speak, "You can go…" but before she could finish, she saw the door move slightly and then gently open, as if a night breeze had passed. A figure appeared in the doorway, flitting from the darkness, and swiftly moved in front of Wen Chengrui.
"Father?!"
Moonlight spilled through the window lattice into the room.
Wen Chengrui saw the person before her was indeed her biological father.
