Gu Xiaonuan noticed that there were fewer and fewer customers in the shop, and it was getting late. She thought to herself, Si Yuchen was on the night shift at the hospital; where would he find the time to come out for a late-night snack?
Whether she bumped into him or not, it was a problem—she should just eat what she had in front of her, which was certainly better than eating instant noodles all alone at home.
Si Yuchen wasn't home, so there was nothing wrong with her going out for a walk.
The restaurant owner happened to be absent today; otherwise, Gu Xiaonuan would definitely have turned around and left the moment she was recognized.
She couldn't afford to give Si Yuchen an excuse to lose his temper in front of her brother; she was at his mercy, and Si Yuchen had to tread carefully around her.
"Nuannuan, is your mother's condition getting worse again?"
Noticing Gu Xiaonuan's distracted demeanor, Gu Xijue expressed his concern.
