Xiaobei sat for a while, thinking that his own stove should be lit by now. He got up and prepared to go back to cook. Lu Zhanguo hadn't come over, probably he was held up with work in the office again.
Xiaobei just got home and poured the boiling water from the stove into the thermos flask. As soon as he finished, the door was violently pushed open.
Qin Ximei burst in angrily saying, "Xiaobei, Zhanguo said you were out, but you've been gone all day. How many times have I been here?"
"Aunt Yuan has something to do?" Xiaobei asked, raising his eyebrows and placing the kettle on the ground.
"Can't I come if I don't have anything to do? Besides, didn't I ask Zhanguo to arrange a meeting for me with Yuan Ye and others? It's fine if he doesn't agree, but he disappears the whole day, is he trying to avoid me?" Qin Ximei said, pressing forward ferociously.
