Although Yuan Shimo didn't address anyone by name, his gaze was fixed on Jiang Qingli, completely ignoring the other two.
He wanted to go over to her, but there was no room left on the edge of the bed, and sitting there would mean facing either Gu Nian or Ye Linyuan.
So, Yuan Shimo sat on the sofa.
Fortunately, the room was quite narrow. The sofa was only about two meters from the bed, which was still close.
Gu Nian asked with feigned curiosity, "Senior Yuan, shouldn't you be at a high-society party right now? How did you hear the news and get here so quickly?"
Yuan Shimo glanced at him, his eyes turning cold.
But in front of Jiang Qingli, he told the truth. "When the news reached the military district, Yuan Shiyao was with Marshal Yuan."
"Ah, so it was the Secretary-General." Gu Nian's lips curved into a knowing smile. "You two are so close. As expected of twins."
