Inside the study, Chu Jiao seemed to have overestimated her own marksmanship. Considering her average amateur-ish shooting skills, how could she shoot at the person on the mark?
The bullet sadly landed near the man’s feet, and instead, alerting him in the process.
Realizing that his whereabouts had been exposed, the man hurriedly opened the window and prepared to make an escape.
Chu Jiao fired another shot but missed once again, the bullet carelessly hitting the window sill instead.
The man in black was completely enraged by her actions and realized that Chu Jiao’s marksmanship was completely and utterly terrible, so he lost any signs of being vigilant for his safety and instead, popped out a knife from his sleeve and slowly walked towards her.

Chu Jiao saw the bloodlust in his eyes and couldn’t help but take a few steps back from intimidation.
She continuously fired at him as she kept retreating, but alas, he still evaded every single one of her shots.
I miscalculated. I thought he was just a petty thief at first, but I didn’t expect him to be trained in combat.

Chu Jiao raised her hand and gently patted the back of his callus hand, softly soothing his distressing behavior, “I’m fine, Brother Yan.”

After turning on the light in the room, Chu Jiao briefly talked about her theories regarding this break-in with Yan Zhan.
“He probably didn’t come here to steal anything. From what had happened, his goal was very clear. It was my father’s study.” Chu Jiao picked up the books and sundries messily scattered on the ground while analyzing them one by one, “Ever since my father passed away, nobody has ever used the study. There are only miscellaneous things inside here, so what was he looking for?”
She came up with a couple of rough guesses in her heart, but those were only based on her understanding of the plot. Now that there was no evidence left behind, talking to Yan Zhan about it would only arouse his suspicions.
“Don’t worry about these things,” Yan Zhan rubbed Chu Jiao’s bed hair, “Go back to bed, and I’ll take care of this.”
“I can’t sleep anymore,” Chu Jiao pouted, tensely clutching the gun in her hand. “I can’t believe I didn’t even get a single shot!” How infuriating!
Yan Zhan couldn’t help but laugh at this cute scene, “Who told you to half-heartedly learn-“
“Are you blaming me!” Chu Jiao furiously bared her teeth and retorted, “You were obviously an incompetent teacher!”
Yan Zhan raised his hands and surrendered.
“Move to my Yan Mansion tomorrow…” He put his arms around the girl’s slender waist and lovingly kissed her on the forehead, “I can’t be at ease knowing that you’re living all alone with no one there to protect you.”
“How am I living alone… There’s clearly the old butler and Aunt Zhang accompanying me,” Chu Jiao buried herself in his arms, “If I leave, what would happen to them?”
Governor Yan imposingly and haughtily said, “Let them come to the Yan Mansion as well. There’s enough space for them. Moreover, they can also take care of you too.”
“Rumors will spread in school, saying that I’m living an immoral lifestyle,” Chu Jiao recalled the jealous and gossipy looks she has been receiving from her classmates in school as of late, “We’re also not even related…”

“We’re not even related?” Yan Zhan bit her little unscrupulous lips from anger. “Then, we will write our marriage contract tomorrow to officially clarify our relationship.” In all honesty, he was absolutely looking forward to it.
“Isn’t that too fast!” Chu Jiao didn’t dare joke around with this serious man, “Alright, alright. I’ll comply with your advice and move out tomorrow.” She also felt alone living by herself in such a huge mansion and always felt like she was missing a warm embrace every night.
