On the way home, everything was silent in the car.
Xu Qiaoqiao had been mute the entire time, lost and trapped in her past sorrow.
Xu Mushen, on the other hand, was watching her.
He felt as if something had changed.
Yet he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
He wanted to cheer Qiaoqiao up, but didn't know what to say or do. So he opted to stay silent by her side.
Their journey home was devoid of conversation.
By the time they returned to the Xu Family, the sky was pitch black.
As the car pulled into the courtyard, Xu Qiaoqiao was about to get out when she heard a voice shout, "Brother Shen!"
Looking up, she saw Yang Leman emerging from the living room, looking wronged and gazing at him, as if some injustice had befallen her.
Liu Yingxue stood behind her, unable to resist chiming in, "Mushen, where have you been? Didn't you have a date with Leman tonight? She waited for you for three hours, and when you didn't show, we thought something happened to you!"
