Chun Maora is having a headache about the events that happened just before. She has planned everything meticulously only to have it ruined by a single glance. She would never expect that the man would actually set his eyes on the little girl he has just seen. Although everything went well, she's tired from having all of the things that happened today.

"Leave me alone. I want to have some rest."

Chun Maora doesn't want to stay there any longer. The smell of wine has made her dizzy then the unexpected outcome has happened and making her feels drained. For now, she only wants some peace and sleep.

The servants by her side can only retreat back. They don't want to make Chun Maora moods even worse than now.

Lin Tang also didn't feel well. He cannot imagine what Jun Zhenxian reaction will be if he were to know that there is someone who's after his granddaughter. This is the first time he feels troubled over small matter.

Lin San choose to rest in her quarter. She heard from her mother that the process is not that smooth. She wonders why that is, but didn't ponder for a long time for that. At least, the work is over, she wants some sleeping for now.

"Let me get some rest first."

Lin Yuan stayed inside her quarter, hoping that the trick Jun Hua deployed succeeded. She let Jin Pun go since she wants to stay alone. The image from that person is inside her mind and she hoped that she doesn't have to see him anymore.

Unbeknownst to them, a certain figure has already entered the compound. He's walking stealthily to avoid all the servants who are busy walking here and there.

"It's almost time for lunch, what are you preparing?"

"I'm making a soup..."

The man didn't bother with the servants banter as he keeps on searching for the right quarter. The Lin family residence is huge and there are a lot of people wandering around here and there. Since he has only seen the path once when he's visiting just now, he cannot find the right way straightaway. Hiding in the dark, he tried to remember the path where that beautiful woman he sees appeared.

"The Lin family household is too big... can't they have only one house?" the man grumbled.

If Lin Yuan were to see this man, she would definitely faint because this is the same man who she had bad impression with. Jo Han is still looking for a way to find the path towards Jun Hua quarter since he wants to see the beautiful girl from up close again. Unfortunately, he cannot follow the usual stone path since it's located in the place where many servants are coming and going.

Jo Han continues to walk in secret and avoid all the servants he saw. He feels irritated for having to sneak in but remembering that one glance, he wants to see it again. Seeing once is not enough.

"Young Miss is tired?"

"Yes, she said she wanted to have a rest."

Jo Han stared at the two servants before him. Which young miss are they talking about? After thinking for a while, he sees them walking and decide to follow after them. Maybe he will be lucky enough to arrive at the quarter he desired.

The two girls are slowly walking while talking happily. They are only talking about some daily things that Jo Han doesn't care about. His eyes light up when he sees a wall up ahead. He waits for the two servants to get in before searching for the plate name. He rejoices when he sees that the plate name is 'Jun Hua'.

"So you're here, I can't wait to see that pretty face once more."

Jo Han waited until the two servants come out again with a pale face.

"She's truly giving me a headache."

"Just let her be. She wants some rest so no one is allowed to come and disturb her."

Jo Han ears perked up. From what the two of them saying, there are no servants inside? Alright, it will be a good chance for him to sneak in and stole a glance.

After the two servants go out, Jo Han is sneaking inside. He found that the place is beautiful, seems like the servants has been caring about this place heavily. He walks around until he found the door and get inside. The design of the quarter is not complicated and soon he found the chamber. But when he's about to go inside, he hears a scream outside.

"FIRE!"

...

Lin Yuan is waiting on her quarter with worry. She's afraid that Chun Maora will found out that the coming of Jun Hua to the kitchen is their plan. Not only that, she's afraid that Jo Han will do something to Jun Hua because he wants to see her again. After all, the beauty of Jun Hua is truly extraordinary.

"Jin Pun, where are you coming from?"

Jin Pun stared her Miss and startled. "Miss, let me help you dressed up first."

"What is it? I'm not going to go anywhere, right?" Li Yuan confused, but she still let Jin Pun help her to tidy up her dress.

Jin Pun sighed. "Please wait, Miss."

After Jin Pun had said it, Li Yuan heard a scream from outside saying fire. She's startled, but then she looks towards Jin Pun.

"Did you do something I don't know?"

Jin Pun nodded. "This servant begs Miss for forgiveness but there is indeed something that this servant had to do."

Lin Yuan stared at Jin Pun face deeply. She doesn't know what had this girl done, but she knows that Jin Pun is loyal to her. Whatever she did, it must be because she's thinking about her. Lin Yuan sighed and walks outside with Jin Pun. She wondered just what had happened.

...

Jo Han is highly startled when he hears about the fire, but it's already too late to withdraw from his place. During the time he's stunned, the woman inside the chamber also awake because of the fire alarm. She hurriedly pushes the door opened just to see a man standing there.

After a second of silence, the two of them screamed at the same time.

"You! What are you doing here, you pervert!"

"Why is it you?"

The yelling of both man and woman can be heard loud and crisp from the quarter.
