Shen Ruo asked her to meet at 'Yuanlai' Café, which was also Chen Shanshan's favorite coffee shop.
The place was quite upscale, elegant, and quiet, with shopping malls and office buildings nearby, where many people would come to rest after shopping.
The coffee house was spacious, offering a quiet and suitable spot no matter when you came.
Half an hour later, Chen Shanshan arrived looking a bit off, her eyes not as bright as before.
The radiant smile that usually graced her lips was absent as well.
From start to finish, she did not look Shen Ruo in the eye, always keeping them lowered as if to escape something.
After ordering two coffees and some pastries, there was a silence before Shen Ruo began to speak with a smile.
"Why didn't you go to work? Are you sick?"
She did not answer her, and Shen Ruo did not mind.
Time passed, and even Shen Ruo's own smile could not stay put, she looked down and said, "Shanshan, I am sorry, I did not mean to deceive you."
