Rong Mo was broodier the more she thought about it and wanted to avoid Shang Mo as much as possible.

That morning, Rong Mo headed downstairs to find Shang Mo seated at the dining table and Granny Shang was not around. Instantly, Rong Mo wanted to double back and pretend that she had not headed down yet.

Shang Mo eyed her from head to toe. "Gone to visit the granny of the Wang Family."
