There was a heavy silence in the room as they were unsure of what to say. Li Caiyi kept her gaze on the blanket so she wouldn't need to make eye contact with her husband.
Meng Renshu cleared his throat awkwardly before saying, "Xiaoyi, I want to tell you I probably have to go on a business trip after this. It will take for about two months before I come back."
Li Caiyi was stunned at first but gradually calmed down. Going on a business trip was normal for a busy businessman like him, but with this timing, she couldn't help but think that he did this to avoid her. It was a bitter pill to swallow.
"I understand. Be careful on your way."
Again, there was a brief silence before he continued, "Thank you for preparing the hangover soup and medicine for me."
Before she went to sleep last night, she prepared some soup and medicine for him and instructed the maids to serve it to him first thing in the morning. It seemed he recovered thanks to that.
