For a moment, Su Nanxing didn't speak.
Qiao Muye's eyes, once brimming with surprise, slowly lost their spark as he said, "No, no need, it's quite convenient for me to come over."
Tang Ruoqing realized something was amiss after she finished speaking and hastily added, "Ah, it's getting late; I should head back."
Qiao Muye had no choice but to take his leave as well.
After escorting the two outside, Tang Ruoqing pulled Su Nanxing aside and said, "I'm sorry, did my words just now put you in a difficult position?"
Su Nanxing said, "There's no need to apologize to me; I'm not troubled. It's just that... I never considered it."
"I think Uncle Qiao is quite pitiful," sighed Tang Ruoqing. "Didn't you see how happy he was when I suggested he could stay?"
Su Nanxing had indeed noticed.
She said, "I, I'm just not ready..."
She wasn't ready to get closer to Qiao Muye, let alone live together.
