Liu was clever and seeing Jing Xuan's anxious expression, she smiled, "Your aunt made pork bone soup tonight, she's asking you to come over and have a bowl."
Jing Xuan looked at Liu. She winked at him and gave him a meaningful glance.
Jing Xuan immediately understood, nodded, and replied somberly, "Okay."
The village chief rushed out, saw him leaving past the villagers, and said angrily, "Jing Xuan, where are you going?!"
Jing Xuan turned to look at him, "Dad, my sister-in-law invited me over to her place for soup."
Only then did the village chief notice Liu. His expression softened and he said, "Go ahead, your grandmother is staying at the clinic tonight, you come over and keep her company."
Jing Xuan pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Hmm."
Liu walked ahead of Jing Xuan. Seeing that there were no villagers around, she spoke softly, "Tang Huai has left, your friend Zhan Tingzhi came to pick her up."
Jing Xuan's gaze deepened, Zhan Tingzhi?
