"Your husband... How come I've never heard Sichen mention his family?"
Sister Mu's expression changed slightly.
Realizing she had let something slip, she became a little nervous.
"Uh, well, I haven't finished my kitchen duties yet. If there is anything you'd like to know, why don't you ask Master directly?"
Her words became more cautious.
As if she was afraid her words might upset her.
But Li Susu did not wish to distress her.
"Eh, go ahead with your work."
Sister Mu breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to smile again.
After she went back to the kitchen, Li Susu looked at the remaining tarts on the table, took two of them, and went upstairs to the study.
She knocked and entered. The man deep in work glanced at her without pausing to acknowledge her.
Li Susu placed the tarts on the table, saying, "Sister Mu made them with less sweetness. Want to try?"
"I'm full already."
Which meant, he was aiming to avoid overeating.
