"Three months' time... should be enough for Qin Ye to settle everything."
He had that confidence.
By then... he didn't believe that they both wouldn't have made any progress in three months.
If that were the result, it would mean he was truly incompetent.
"Just drop us off at the next town," Rong Yan suddenly said, startling the contemplative Qin Ye.
"...Didn't we agree to..."
Before he could finish, Rong Yan interrupted him, "I agreed last time because we were heading towards Beijing, and because you were injured... But now it's different."
As Rong Yan spoke, she paused for a moment before continuing slowly, "Your wounds have mostly healed now, and besides, you're not alone... There's no need for us to stay together, and most importantly, you're being hunted."
Her words were very direct.
It silenced Qin Ye who had been about to persuade her, swallowing the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Yes, he was being hunted.
