Chang Haotian looked at her slender back, and for a moment felt the urge to ask her to stay.
However, if she stayed and was discovered by the people in the estate, there would be no secrets.
He didn't want to take any risk of being found out by Qing'er.
After indulging for over two years, it can't continue anymore.
Drowsy from the wine, he drifted off into a deep sleep.
The next day, upon waking, he instinctively called out, "Qing'er!"
There was no response.
Only then did he remember that the maid Liu Yuqing, who served him, had been sent away by him last night.
Presumably, by this time, she had left with substantial funds, to find a better life and enjoy the rest of her days.
Thinking that she would belong to another man, since she had been his woman, made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
However, for Qing'er, she absolutely could not stay.
He got up and called for a servant to attend him.
