Mr. Yan looked at her for a while, eventually asking, "Why?"
Zhu Qianying was surprised he pursued the matter. He was clever enough to understand if he just thought about it a bit!
"There's no particular reason. My mother might come to R City to stay with Xiao Yu in a while, and if the house is bought and just left there, unused, wouldn't that be a waste of money?"
Mr. Yan seemed to accept her explanation. He didn't question her further, only saying, "Hmm, let Qin Xiu know if your mom changes her mind."
They chatted over dinner, yet neither of them brought up the issue of the scarf.
Zhu Qianying had come to understand that it didn't matter to her. As for Mr. Yan, who knew what he was thinking?
