He purposefully glanced at the color of the sky outside and added, "So I need to make haste, you see the sky, if I don't go now, it'll delay matters!"
After saying this, Liu Zheng purposely looked at Liu Sumei's expression.
Seeing that she was staring steadily at him, her face showed a very complex mix of emotions.
