On the return ride, both individuals were lost in their own thoughts.
Xia Lu sat quietly in the passenger seat, staring blankly at the night scenes flashing by the window.
After Zhou Mingchen left the dinner table, her conversation with Jin Fengnan became more and more animated. Jin Fengnan was a gregarious person, which caught her off guard.
"Being married to Achen must be different from being married to other men," he suddenly blurted out this abrupt remark. "He's had a tough life, his childhood wasn't very happy, and now he's essentially orphaned. He prefers being alone, accustomed to isolation, sometimes barely speaks, but I suppose he's not like that when he's with you."
"Orphaned?" Xia Lu disagreed. "His father may have passed away, but his mother is still very much alive."
Thinking of Guan Li, Xia Lu felt it was time to visit her, as it had been a while since she last sat with her.
"Oh?" Jin Fengnan looked at her in surprise. "You know his mother?"
