Qiao Xin left Lu Chen behind, ascending the stairs alone.
Lu Chen stood dazedly by the flowerbed, staring blankly at Qiao Xin's retreating figure.
Qiao Xin's words echoed thunderously in his head.
What did she mean by merely a plaything for amusement? What did she mean by returning to normal life? What did she mean by warning him not to force her hand?
Why? Why had Qiao Xin changed like this in just a few days?
Lu Chen couldn't understand, perhaps Qiao Yi knew why, but Qiao Yi would definitely not tell him.
Could it be because of the arranged marriage between the Qiao and Lu Families?
During his time with the Qiao Family, he had come to understand some matters that he had never known before.
Such as the arranged marriage between the Qiao and Lu Families, such as there being no real affection between Qiao Xin and Lu Ming, such as Qiao Xin actually always being fond of Lu Yanchuan, the Third Young Master of the Lu Family.
