She made it back to the villa before seven, and as Chen Zhi walked into the living room, she saw Si Ye sitting at the dining table having dinner.
Madam Zhou put a dish on the table and upon seeing her, asked, "Miss Chen, have you eaten? Come, join us."
Chen Zhi had something to discuss with Si Ye, so she nodded, "Okay."
She sat down opposite Si Ye, and Madam Zhou set a bowl and chopsticks for her.
Chen Zhi held her chopsticks and picked up a dish to put in her bowl but didn't eat.
She glanced at Si Ye, then looked around the living room and asked him with curiosity, "Where's your brother? And your father? Aren't they joining us for dinner?"
Si Ye wiped his mouth with a napkin, took a light sip of tea, and then answered her question, "Si Xi no longer lives here, he has his own place. My father is upstairs; he is not well and these dishes aren't suitable for him."
