After Wen Yuan and Ji Xingyao stayed in the castle manor for three days, Wen Yuan decided to return home.

She was worried about Wen Xiaochuan.

It just so happened that Ji Xingyao’s visa was about to expire, and she also had to leave.

She hadn't seen Li Heng much in the past few days. Every time she tried to approach him, he would inadvertently avoid her.

He either needed to rest or to get physical therapy. Later, he simply stayed on the second floor for a long time and never came down.

After so many times, Ji Xingyao couldn't help but feel that he was deliberately avoiding her.

She was about to leave, and she didn't know when she would come back next time. Before leaving, she wanted to see Li Heng alone.

She had never been to Li Heng's room on the second floor.

This was the first time she stood outside the door.

No matter how carefully a castle-style building is maintained, it always has an air of decay.

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, no one answered, so Ji Xingyao knocked again.

This time I could hear light footsteps inside.

Click, the retro lock cylinder made a dull sound.

"high……"

After the door opened, Ji Xingyao's words were stuck between her teeth, because the person who opened the door was Ashing - Li Heng's fiancée.

The blond and blue-eyed Ashing looked very different from an oriental person, but Ji Xingyao's mind suddenly showed Su Jinyun's face.

The two faces overlapped, making Ji Xingyao unable to tell what day it was.

She suddenly felt that it was presumptuous to come to see Li Heng without permission.

After all, Li Heng had forgotten her long ago and he already had a fiancée with whom he had a good relationship.

"Sorry, I knocked on the wrong door." Ji Xingyao made up a lame excuse.

Ashing clearly didn't believe it.

She folded her arms across her chest, looking Ji Xingyao up and down, her tone not particularly friendly: "Are you here to see Mr. Gao?"

Ashing can speak Chinese, but with a heavy accent.

"Yes, I'm leaving soon and I want to see him before I go."

Ji Xingyao felt a little embarrassed to say such words in front of someone else's fiancée, but she still said it.

Sure enough, Ashing was very unhappy when he heard this: "You're leaving so soon?"

"Yeah." Ji Xingyao nodded. After a second, she realized why Ashing's tone was strange.

She looked at Ashing in confusion.

Westerners are not as reserved as Easterners. Ashing is outspoken by nature. After enduring for a few days, he finally had a small outburst.

"I've been waiting for you for three days, but you didn't even come upstairs to see Mr. Gao. It's fine if you didn't come, but how could you just leave like that? Couldn't you have stayed a few more days? Why did you leave so quickly?"

"..."

Ji Xingyao was confused by her output. No, what was going on now?

Ashing, using almost all of his Chinese knowledge, spoke quickly and hurriedly, "What will happen to Mr. Gao after you leave? He finally has a smile on his face, and now that you're gone, he'll be depressed again."

Ashing is very worried about Gao Yu's mental state. Physical weakness can be treated slowly, but psychological problems cannot be solved by time. Instead, they will become more serious over time.

"Depression? You said Gao Yu is depressed?" Ji Xingyao's eyes suddenly widened and his nerves tensed up.

"His desire to survive was already very low." Ashing's high spirits dropped in an instant, and his words showed his pity for Gao Yu.

"But doesn't he have you? You're already engaged."

Ji Xingyao didn’t understand. Their relationship seemed very good and they were very happy. How could someone who was about to get married have such a low desire to survive?

Ashing sighed, looked back into the house, struggled for a while, and did something that went against Gao Yu's wishes.

"plz follow me."

Ji Xingyao followed her into the room. This was her first time entering Li Heng's room.

The room was large, a three-bedroom suite with a bedroom, guest room, study, and living room. The intricate, heavy, vintage curtains blocked out the bright sunlight outside, leaving only a shadow inside.

Ashing brought Ji Xingyao to the study and she opened the door.

"Normally, Mr. Gao never lets me in, but I think you're within the permitted range he sets."

Ashing stood at the door without moving, and made a gesture of invitation to Ji Xingyao.

"Thank you."

Ji Xingyao's heart was pounding, she knew that Li Heng's secret was hidden in it.
