Just a second after Xia Wan'an closed the door, she heard the sound of a passcode being entered on the door behind her.
Instinctively, Xia Wan'an turned around to see Han Jingnian, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walking in the door.
Han Jingnian probably didn't anticipate seeing her right as he entered, and so he froze momentarily at the door.
Neither of them spoke, creating a tense silence by the entrance hall.
Ordinarily, Xia Wan'an would take the initiative to greet Han Jingnian, even though he often either ignored her, or responded indifferently. Today however, Xia Wan'an's negative emotions were overwhelming. Thinking that he wouldn't bother to return her words anyway, she resolutely retracted her gaze and walked to the cupboard for slippers.
Once she had changed her shoes, she stood up, acting as if oblivious of his presence and walked towards the bedroom.
"Wait a moment."
To Xia Wan'an's surprise, Han Jingnian, behind her, took the initiative to speak.
