Her bright eyes sparkled with excitement and curiosity. "I'll go get her right away. We shouldn't keep her waiting."
With a silent nod of approval from Chu He, she turned and left the room, her steps light and swift.
A moment later, she returned, leading Lai Yu Yao slowly into the room.
The moment Lai Yu Yao stepped into the room,
Chu He clearly sensed the tension radiating from her.
Her face was a little pale, with a faint red blush of anxiety,
but her eyes burned with the fiery, unwavering heat of determination.
"Is there something you need?"
Chu He's tone was as calm as still water, without a single ripple, yet it carried an intangible sense of authority and pressure.
"I want to return to the Royal City.
Mr. Chu, I believe you understand what I mean."
Lai Yu Yao took a deep breath.
She slowly raised her head, her resolute gaze piercing the air like a sharp arrow,
and looked directly into Chu He's eyes without a trace of fear.
