In the spacious and comfortable living room, only Yun Qiao and Qiao Xiaon'an remained.
Qiao Xiaon'an, having nothing better to do, noticed a potted plant, as tall as a person, nearby. It was a healthy jade plant, so she nonchalantly picked off two leaves and held them in her palm.
It seemed like a vain attempt to disguise her inner turmoil, as she tore the leaves into several pieces, her hands quickly becoming stained with the green sap.
"Don't just stand there." He helplessly watched her childlike behavior, "Come sit."
She didn't move.
He didn't say anything more, gently pulling her hand, both of them sat down together on the sofa in front of the coffee table.
The seating was soft and comfortable, but both of them were restless.
"Carrot and corn ribs soup, light and sweet." He was the first to pick up the soup bowl from the coffee table and held it out to her, "Drink it."
The tone was commanding, leaving no room for refusal.
