Without delay, Li Qiao returned to her room, glanced out of the window, and walked slowly to the balcony to sit in the wicker chair and start daydreaming.
As dusk deepened, Li Qiao gazed into the starry night sky, lost in thought.
Cooling down and thinking carefully, the behavior of her parents just now seemed abnormal.
Something felt decidedly off.
Previously, her parents had always been secretive about her marriage, and even if they occasionally exhibited thought-provoking behavior, no obvious flaws could be found for the time being.
Now that the engagement was broken off, even if she had a boyfriend, it would be perfectly justifiable, but her parents' reaction didn't seem to be one of happiness on her behalf.
Li Qiao narrowed her eyes, her gaze flickering as she relentlessly revisited every scene from earlier.
She wondered if she had overlooked some significant detail.
Li Qiao withdrew her gaze from the twilight, her eyes tinged with confused annoyance.
