Cai Qiong immediately retorted, "We weren't talking about anything."
Xu Qian also gave Wang Jian a dismissive look, her expression clearly conveying, "This is a chat between sisters; why would a man like you need to know?"
Since Cai Qiong wasn't interested in men, Xu Qian's wariness eased considerably. Her guard wasn't completely down, but it was significantly lower than when they first met.
Xu Qian stood up, pulling Cai Qiong with her. "Come on, I'll show you to your room."
"You two go ahead. I need to head to the clinic," Wang Jian said. "The village chief just called me about a strange patient. It sounds like it might not be a simple case."
"Going to see a patient?" Cai Qiong stopped. "Wait for me."
"What's wrong?" Xu Qian and Wang Jian were both startled as Cai Qiong suddenly bolted for the door.
