Seeing a glimmer of hope, Pan Chiyan nodded eagerly and said, "Thank you, Brother Chenmo."
"As you said, we are family now. Helping each other is only right," Li Chenmo replied meaningfully.
At those words, Houzi and Li Lingyun glanced at him but said nothing, continuing to eat cookies and sip their milk.
They sat for another half hour before leaving. Li Chenmo walked them out and locked the door. When he returned to the bedroom, he saw his wife waiting for him.
Lu Jueyu stared at her husband and asked, "Husband, since when did you have so many friends?"
Meeting his wife's gaze, Li Chenmo chuckled as he walked to the bed. He sat down beside her and said, "Wife, I know you want to help, but we need a cover to ensure our safety. Since Pan Chiyan already promised to keep my friends' identities a secret, it will be easier for us to act."
"Husband, you mean you never planned to introduce your so-called friends to Pan Chiyan at all?" Lu Jueyu asked.
