Gu Xiaobei merely acknowledged with a hum. She was now more curious as to why Xiangmin was doing this. As she thought, she couldn't help but ask out loud, "Where do you and old Guo live now? We could come over someday to visit you and Xinxin."
Upon hearing this, Xiangmin's face immediately changed. She waved her hands in denial, saying, "No need, no need. Our place is small. It's enough that I come to visit you."
Gu Xiaobei felt there was something amiss. Could it be that Xiangmin was not actually living with Guo Huaqiang?
Xiangmin sat for a while. Seeing that Gu Xiaobei didn't invite her to stay for lunch, she got up to say goodbye and left.
Gu Xiaobei, using her child's cold as an excuse, didn't walk Xiangmin out. Instead, she stood on the balcony after Xiangmin had left, watching her exit the building and run into Zhao Honghe who was just coming back. The two conversed as if they knew each other.
