Alix's mind came to the realization that grandma Zhang didn't really say anything and she had rushed to her own conclusion.
"Nothing." she quickly denied. Her voice was squeaky and sharp.
It was easy for him to tell that she was lying but he decided not to push. Knowing his grandmother, it was probably related to the status of their relationship. So, he took a detour and moved on to something else.
"Do I frighten you?"
The door slid open and a woman in a chef's uniform entered. She was followed by Mo Sen that kept an eye on her every move like a hawk.
Alix meanwhile was quite perplexed by the question which had been posed to her and she had no qualms in saying so. "I am not sure that I understand. In what way would you frighten me."
Caishen tapped the middle finger of his right hand against the table slowly. His lips remained sealed and he watched her with an unreadable expression. It made Alix if she had perhaps missed something.
