The two came face to face, both taken aback.
Then, they just looked at each other, halted their actions, and showed no reaction.
"Aunt Xia, what brings you here?" Not noticing the unusual tension between Han Jingnian and Xia Wan'an, Han Zhijin, who had heard the noise, stretched his neck toward the door and called out.
Coming back to her senses, Xia Wan'an avoided Han Jingnian's gaze and said, "Your grandmother and sister-in-law sent me to call both of you for dinner."
Feeling disappointed, Han Zhijin responded with, "Aunt Xia and Uncle, you two go ahead to eat. I won't go now, I will eat after I finish the project."
Completely oblivious to what had just happened in the study, Xia Wan'an frowned, disagreeing with Han Zhijin's decision: "You can work on the project after dinner!"
