Overheard Conversation (25)

When Song Qingchun snuck into Su Zhinian's bedroom, she forgot to close the door. In her hurry to exit, she did not close it behind her either. Just as she reached the stairs, she heard the door being opened.

Song Qingchun held the bannister, took two steps down, and was about to call out his name when she heard Auntie Su's voice drifted up from downstairs. "Ah Nian, what do you want to have for dinner tonight?"

Why has Auntie Su returned with Su Zhinian? Song Qingchun stopped moving. If Auntie Su, who has warned me away from her son, sees me here, she will be sad and disappointed, right?

Just as Song Qingchun was deciding whether to retreat upstairs to find a place to hide or not, she heard Su Zhinian say, "That won't be necessary. I have a dinner meeting to attend tonight."
