"...Okay."
...
They had spent another half an hour wandering around Panlou, and as the night deepened, Lu Tong returned to the Pei Mansion with Pei Yunmeng.
Yin Zheng had already returned to rest as the South City store was very busy, so Lu Tong didn't disturb her. Since Pei Yunmeng still had some official duties to attend to, he told Lu Tong to go to sleep first. He stayed in the study to deal with the pending documents until very late into the night.
The Pei Mansion was very quiet. After he had bathed and groomed himself, when he returned to the bedroom, he noticed a light still shining through the window.
Lu Tong hadn't gone to bed yet.
He pushed the door open and saw Lu Tong sitting under the lamp, supporting her chin with one hand, seemingly dozing off. He immediately smiled, "Didn't I tell you to go to sleep first..." His gaze swept towards the table and his expression paused abruptly.
A porcelain jar lay askew on the long table.
