It was obvious that Fu Qian's level of respect had even increased after he unreservedly represented the Academy in support of Ji Liushuang during the meeting.
Yet, even so, many people were genuinely shocked when they learned that Ji Liushuang had Fu Qian stay right next to her room.
After returning from a walk, Ji Liushuang straightforwardly declined the housekeeper's arrangements for a guest room, expressing her wish for Fu Qian to stay close for protection.
Having a strange man living next door was somewhat improper for a daughter of the Ji Family.
Unfortunately, Ji Liushuang was so resolute in her attitude that she seemed unconcerned about her own reputation.
Eventually, before her unyielding authority, even invoking the name of Ji Xun, the housekeeper conceded defeat and complied with the request.
Of course, as a precaution, almost as soon as Fu Qian had settled in, there was someone knocking at his door.

"Hello."
