Lost in thought, Chi Yu absentmindedly pressed her knife into the foie gras on her plate, reducing it to a mess.
Watching her ruin the foie gras, Gu Qinnian's mind wandered. He couldn't help imagining that knife twisting mercilessly within his chest…
Swallowing nervously, Gu Qinnian quickly averted his gaze.
Suddenly, Chi Yu looked up at Gu Qinnian as if recalling something.
"Has Ms. Tao returned to the country at all during the years she's lived abroad?"
Gu Qinnian instinctively replied, "No."
Chi Yu raised an eyebrow, "So, she's only returned this one time after all these years?"
She set down her knife, and in a measured tone, asked Gu Qinnian, "Brother, don't you find that unusual?"
Gu Qinnian understood immediately, furrowing his brow.
"It seems my mother may have encountered some difficulty."
