After dinner, Yating and Chyou were chucked out of the room by their own fathers to give them some privacy for discussing business related matters. Yating awkwardly hung around and eventually suggested they could take a walk until then.
Chyou chuckled. "You were bubbling like a volcano, weren't you?"
He refused to accept. "I wasn't."
"You were. You were throwing daggers at Uncle Gu the whole time."
He rubbed the back of his neck. "I was kept in the dark. It was supposed to be a private dinner between us and then I suddenly saw you. I know how much Dad has pushed me for our marriage, so I thought it was regarding that…I was annoyed even more because I am supposed to be independent in choosing my life partner but here he was unnecessarily interfering again. And then I thought Dad put you in an awkward position knowing full well that you are already dating. I am sorry."
