He glanced at her carelessly, and only then did Lu Zhanbei notice that Gu Qianqian had been home for quite a while and was still in that shabby dress.
He was half heartbroken, half annoyed!
Unpleasant memories came flooding back, and the originally expressionless Lu Zhanbei's face hardened, his thin lips tense.
Turning his body halfway, Lu Zhanbei ignored her, casually undoing the button on his collar.
When alone, he would usually unbutton two or three to let his body breathe after being constrained all day. But as Gu Qianqian was here, watching him with that look, he changed his action, and stopped after unbuttoning one.
He reached for a glass of water and took a big gulp before he started speaking, not very enthusiastically: "What's up?"
"I... I came to talk to you about the pocket watch..."
Had she not mentioned it, it would've been fine, but as soon as she did, Lu Zhanbei couldn't even drink his water anymore.
