Su Li slipped her feet into the slippers brought by the servants and just stood there, indecisive, until Ye Nuanxi came up from downstairs and, seeing she had nowhere to go, dragged her to the dining table. Su Li then sat quietly at the table with her head lowered, not uttering a word or saying anything else.
"Brother, I've resigned and am planning to take Little Xingchen on a trip!"
As she spoke, Ye Nuanxi glanced at Su Li, who was still looking down, and continued, "I'll take sister-in-law with us too, she has agreed. You don't have any objections, do you?"
Sister-in-law?
Upon hearing this, Su Li instantly froze, her body stiffening as her heart lurched with anxiety. It was one thing for Little Xingchen to casually call someone auntie, but Ye Nuanxi was much older and Su Li was a mother herself. Such wanton use of the term could surely provoke her brother, and yet...
"Since you've already decided, would my objections matter?"
