Gu Xingzhi's gaze fell on their interlocked fingers, and he offered a slight, lipped smile, "Mianmian, where are you going?"
"Back to the Li family... Are you going too?"
"I'm heading there this afternoon."
"Then we'll go ahead."
Once inside the elevator, Gu Mian let out a sigh of relief.
She turned her head and saw Li Tingshen's gloomy face and couldn't help but remind him, "Grandma will worry if she sees you like this."
"I know."
The two of them stayed with Old Madam Li at the Li family's house for the better part of the day, and before they knew it, it was afternoon.
Liu Qingyu had been in poor health recently and was living in the hospital. The doctors advised against staying away from the hospital for too long, so she didn't leave until the afternoon to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner.
When she saw Gu Mian, she didn't show a pleasant expression, but because of Old Madam Li's presence, she refrained from making a scene.
