Chapter 265

Zhang Jie was wearing a casual dress with her hair pinned up and an apron tied around her waist as she cooked in the kitchen, just like a wife waiting for her husband to get home from work, proper and dignified.

"You go tutor Yuan first; I'll call you guys when the food's ready."

Wang Dahai walked into the kitchen and asked quietly, "Mrs. Zhang, hasn't your husband come back yet?"

With her back turned to him, Zhang Jie's cheeks flushed, and she replied as if nothing was amiss, "No, he's still on a business trip."

Still on a business trip...

He glanced outside, "Is Miss Liang at home?"

"She went back."

After a pause, Zhang Jie added, "I told her my husband would be back tonight. If she asks you, don't let it slip."

Wang Dahai was confused for two seconds but quickly caught on, realizing why Zhang Jie had lied to Liang Jiajia.

With Liang Jiajia around, it wasn't convenient for her to do anything with Wang Dahai.

So, she made up an excuse to send Liang Jiajia home.
