Naturally, Xinghe could feel his gaze on her.
She once again raised her eyes to meet his. She questioned, "Didn't you say you were hungry?"
"…" Mubai didn't answer, he just stared at her wordlessly.
"Well, since neither of us is hungry, let's get down to business." She put down her utensils and continued, "Tell me, what is your solution?"
"You're willing to talk to me only if it's business-related?" Mubai blurted out, perhaps due to the impatience from being ignored the entire night.
Xinghe's expression remained unchanged as she replied, "Of course, hasn't it always been like this between us?"
"…" She's right.
Mubai laughed self-deprecatingly. "You're right. It is true that we barely shared more than a few words during our marriage. Our relationship has always been sterile and professional."
"I'm glad you see it that way too."
"If I'd known, I would have treated you better. I'm so sorry!" Mubai confessed suddenly.
