Poor Mingyu did not dare to knock on Xie Jianyu's door this morning. She merely waited outside with black circles around her eyes and a pounding heart.
Eventually, the door cracked open and the prominent couple stepped out into the corridor.
"Mas...!!!"
Mingyu quieted down when he saw Zhang Fengxi arching his brow behind Xie Jianyu.
"Let's go, Mingyu. Let's have some breakfast together."
"Jianbao, I want us to talk alone," Zhang Fengxi pointed out.
Xie Jianyu gave him a cold stare.
"Can it not wait? I am famished."
"... Of course it can."
The three people descended the staircase, Xie Jianyu and Zhang Fengxi leading the way. The beta maid blinked at the couple in front of her, unable to make sense of what she was seeing.
Xie Jianyu's demeanor was a far cry from that of an omega bride in his honeymoon phase. He appeared tense and withdrawn, his cheek muscles twitching from time to time.
