Having spoken first, Zhiqiu felt obliged not to refuse Beicheng any longer, so she replied with a forced smile, "Saturday? Sure, that works."
And so, it was settled.
Shortly after, Lu Beicheng left, and seeing Zhiqiu looking unhappy, Gu Nanyan said, "I've told you before not to say things that go against your conscience or are insincere, and now you've fallen into someone else's trap, haven't you?"
In recent days, whenever Lu Beicheng had brought the mother and daughter back, Nanyan had never invited him into the house, despite his asking her a few times when she would invite him in. However, she always changed the subject.
Because it wasn't time yet.
This time, Zhiqiu had invited him over herself, so Nanyan had nothing to say about it since it wasn't her invitation.
Hearing Nanyan's words, Zhiqiu sulkily said, "Who knew Beicheng would be so direct?"
Nanyan said, "He has always been a forthright person."
With that, Nanyan went back to her bedroom.
