Once back home, Su Xiaowan changed into new clothes and started cleaning the house and doing the laundry. Han Dongchen, all the while, in his study, was a bit restless. There was actually nothing significant going on between him and Dong Yujiao, but all the rumors had made him somewhat guilty before Su Xiaowan. In the end, he decided to explain the situation to her.
When he entered the living room, he sat down and coughed lightly, saying, "Xiao Wan, stop doing the laundry for now and come sit with me. I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaowan froze mid-action, and she herself felt a bit nervous. Was this going to be an accounting of old scores? So she took a deep breath and slowly replied, "Oh, all right, just let me dry my hands first."
In no time at all, Su Xiaowan came out of the washroom, sitting upright across from Han Dongchen, waiting for him to speak.
