At Wens' residence.
After spending time with Liwei in absence of other family members and then spending time with grandmother once she returned from the hospital, Ming Lan had dinner with the family.
As they sat around the dining table, Mrs. Wen asked her husband, "When is Zac returning?"
Ming Lan immediately paid attention to their talk. After she spent months away at a place where it was not easy to contact her, she and Wen Zac had less calls and so she certainly felt like the distance was created between them, though they talked once in a while and messaged each other. Moreover, that guilt of staying away for longer than what she had said to him, she always felt hesitant to talk to him or ask him anything directly.
She was waiting for him to return home but it also made her nervous for some reason. She wondered if they would resume things at where they had stopped before she left or once again it would be starting all over again.
