Xu Qiaoqiao's footsteps halted as she was descending the stairs. She stood there, turning her head to look.
After waiting for a moment, she faintly heard the voice of Xu Mushen coming from the study, "Come in."
Yang Leman's eyes lit up, and her smile grew brighter. She pushed the door of the study open and walked in.
Xu Qiaoqiao's heart suddenly clenched, as if a heavy object had lodged there—not moving up, not sinking down.
She clenched her fists.
While deep in her thoughts, she heard a voice, "What are you looking at?"
When she turned her head, she saw Xu Nanjia standing on the stairs. He was climbing up, a look of disdain on his face upon seeing her.
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't respond.
