Afraid of Being Disappointed

Aunt Zhang pulled a chair for Xuxu when she saw her. She scooped some rice while saying, "You came home late today, you must be famished."

Xuxu frowned when she saw the old lady. She chided her gently, "Aunt Zhang, it's getting cold lately and your back is always aching. Didn't I tell you not to do all these chores?"

Aunt Zhang smiled at her and said, "Third Young Master called earlier to say he will be working late tonight and won't be coming home for dinner. He added that you would also come home late and asked me to cook dinner for you."

Xuxu was startled to hear that.

"He called home?"

She walked towards the chair and sat down. She picked up her chopsticks and began absentmindedly eating her rice.

She couldn't understand why Yan Rusheng changed so drastically.

Was it really like what she had joked with him in the morning? That he had wanted to mend their relationship?

But what about Fang Jiayin?
