Elder Chief was delighted to learn that Jiang Yi had spent the entire afternoon with Gu Xici.
He followed Jiang Yi upstairs and inquired from behind, "I heard you and Xici went on a date? Where did you go?"
Jiang Yi, halfway up the stairs, turned back to correct him, "It wasn't a date, just a meal together, and we took a walk afterward since there was nothing else to do."
However, to the Elder Chief, that was as good as a date.
After returning, Jiang Yi locked herself in her room. Elder Chief, brimming with excitement, pulled Auntie Cui aside and asked, "Do you think there's a chance between these two kids?"
Auntie Cui looked worried, and although she didn't voice her concerns, she thought to herself: Could Jiang Yi move on from Wen Suihan so quickly?
Of course, she kept these thoughts from Elder Chief and went along with him, "Perhaps, if they spend more time together, feelings might develop. Don't be too pushy, Elder Chief. Allow the young people some space."
