Pausing at the door, Chu Liangxia looked around but did not spot Feng Zichen anywhere.
However—
Ergouzi was happily munching on dog food beside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Feng Ziheng had not gone to work, sitting on the sofa flipping through the newspaper, with a cup of hot tea on the coffee table.
For a moment, Chu Liangxia had the illusion of seeing a retired old man.
"Morning."
Chu Liangxia greeted him.
Raising his head, Feng Ziheng glanced at her and turned the page of the newspaper, nonchalantly returning the greeting, "Morning."
Being responded to after the day was already in full swing was something Chu Liangxia was still not used to.
She rubbed her eyes and scurried off to freshen up.
After she came out, she made a round to the opposite room, found out that Zizhuo and Ling Xize had left, and that they had tidied up their room. After confirming that both were alright, and that Ling Xize would no longer ask about Feng Ziheng, she was relieved and returned.
