Thinking of Aran calling him a pig, Chu Hengyuan felt a burning urge to give her a few swats on the backside. Upon arriving at Guanju Courtyard, he asked Yinshuang, who was cleaning the yard, and learned that Aran was still inside her room.

"Knock, knock, knock. Aran, open the door. I'm back." Chu Hengyuan suppressed his impatience and knocked.
"Oh, you're back? Well, since you're back, why don't you go get something to eat or go attend to your official duties? I want to sleep a little longer. I'll come find you when I wake up," Aran said, determined not to open the door.
