After leaving the hospital, Li Qiao and Luoyu had a simple meal before returning to the Li Family's home.
As soon as they entered, they saw Li Guangming and Duan Shuyuan sitting in the living room, one drinking tea, the other smoking a cigarette, both simultaneously turning their gazes upon hearing footsteps.
The atmosphere was somewhat delicate.
Li Qiao slowed her steps, called out to her parents, and then turned to head upstairs.
But from behind, Li Guangming called out to her in a stern tone, "Daughter, wait a moment."
Li Qiao stopped in her tracks, turned back to look at her elders, her eyes fleetingly flickering, but still she walked over and sat down opposite them, "Mom and Dad, did you want to talk to me about something?"
Usually, Mr. and Mrs. Li were both busy with their own affairs, providing fairly lenient supervision over Li Qiao and rarely having such serious moments.
