The spacious hall sunk into pin-drop silence, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
Just as Su Yuxuan was contemplating if he should break the silence to give Grandpa Cheng an out, the alluring aroma from the kitchen filled the air once more.
Somebody's stomach released another growl that was louder and more intense than the one before.
Everyone else, "..."
Grandpa Cheng, "..." What about my reputation?!
"Cough…" Finally, Mr. Su broke the silence purposefully and gave Su Yuxuan a meaningful look. "Yuxuan, go talk to Yayan. She's been in there for far too long now, by the time she's out we might as well have it for supper instead of dinner then."
Su Yuxuan caught the underlying meaning and turned to the kitchen.
No one mentioned what had happened, but Grandpa Cheng who was still embarrassed, grunted as he turned his face away, unwilling to speak another word.
