During work hours, Su Liuying returned to her department still wearing a preoccupied look. In front of Quan Tianyou, she tried her best to feign happiness, but in reality, she was far from happy. The sudden appearance of Quan Tao had brought the matters she vaguely worried about into the open.
She walked into the pantry to make some scented tea, tossing a few rosebuds into her cup. She picked up the kettle and began to add water to the cup.
The water had already overflowed from her cup, but she didn't notice and continued pouring.
"Liuying, what's wrong with you? The water is spilling from your cup!"
Tan Yanli entered the pantry and immediately took the kettle from Su Liuying's hand upon seeing her odd behavior.
"Ah!"
Returning to her senses, Su Liuying realized the table was flooded with water. She quickly grabbed a cloth and wiped the table dry.
"Liuying, you seem to be weighed down with worries. What's the matter?"
