Su Yunjin's eyes lit up. She didn't know why, but as soon as she saw Chen Jiusi, the unease in her heart seemed to dissipate significantly.
*She had never felt this way before. However, today, this feeling was unusually strong. Perhaps over the past two days, Chen Jie's transformation had unknowingly caused her to rely on him.*
Chen Jie walked into the courtyard under the watchful eyes of the crowd while Ma Liu squinted as he gazed at him.
His face carried a false smile, yet there was hostility etched between his brows.
Chen Jie stepped forward, pulling Su Yunjin behind him. Then he turned to Ma Liu and said, "Brother Ma Liu, what brings you to my place today?"
Ma Liu laughed and said, "Jiusi came back. Ah, I've been up to my neck in work lately. If it weren't for something concerning you, I wouldn't have taken the time to come."
Chen Jie looked at him and asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"
