They left the cemetery around noon.
Earlier, elder Mr. Gu had intended to invite both of them for lunch, but Lu Zhanbei had to handle 'important' matters, afraid that it would delay his work, he tactfully declined.
As for this, elder Mr. Gu seemed a bit disappointed, but knowing what Lu Zhanbei's busy with, he did not insist.
He just repeated his thanks for their visit to his wife's grave, which was a normal courtesy. But for some reason, watching elder Mr. Gu being so 'polite' made Gu Qianqian feel unexpectedly sad.
Her mood did not completely improve even after they got in the car...
Lu Zhanbei himself wasn't much of a talker, so he didn't think much of her silence. However, it was a bit unusual for her to remain quiet for over half an hour since they left the cemetery.
He glanced sideways at the young girl beside him: "Been quiet because you're upset?"
"No..."
Asked by Lu Zhanbei, Gu Qianqian felt a bit embarrassed and shyly replied, "I was just thinking about something."
