In the evening, the dinner was eaten in complete silence.
Qi Taiguo watched Cheng Su clear the dishes and head to the kitchen, suddenly feeling uncomfortable. She used to be so talkative and eloquent, but now this silence was really making him uneasy.
Was she still angry about what had happened just now?
Qi Taiguo thought about it and then convinced himself that he wasn't wrong. A married woman shouldn't just leave home when her man's not around. It's no wonder people might misunderstand.
When Cheng Su returned after washing the dishes, he picked up a palm-leaf fan to fan himself, cleared his throat, and asked, "Tomorrow morning, do you still need to go to the restaurant so early?"
Cheng Su paused for a moment, then said after some thought, "For now, yes, I have no choice. There aren't many employees at my place. If you think it's inappropriate, I can't do anything about it."
