"Xiao Chen, why have you been coming home so late these past few days? Is the hospital really busy?" Jiang Qing stood up from the sofa as she saw Li Chen returning.
That time of intense longing had already passed, surging up from within her body.
But Li Chen had been coming home late every day, or staying out overnight, and after several days, the suppressed yearning became increasingly tumultuous.
"There's been some stuff going on!" Li Chen scratched his head, not sure how to explain.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Aunt Qing left some food for you; I'll go heat it up." Jiang Qing said, giving him a deep look before entering the kitchen.
At that moment, Shen Mengxue also looked over, her exquisite eyes filled with hidden resentment.
Jiang Qing didn't know what Li Chen was up to outside, but Mengxue had some idea, instinctively assuming Li Chen had gone to see Wen Yao again.
"Sister-in-law!" Li Chen walked over with a wry smile.
