Shen Li's father was quite busy today and didn't come home for dinner, so it was just the three of them at home.
It was a rare occasion with both Shen Li and Shen Xingchen staying for dinner, so Madam Shen not only prepared a table full of dishes, but she was also in an exceptionally good mood.
After serving soup to the two of them, she sat down at the dining table, her face brimming with happiness.
Shen Li was not much of a talker, so Madam Shen didn't bother engaging him in conversation. She busied herself chatting with Shen Xingchen, asking about her school life and how she came to meet Lin Mo.
While eating, Shen Xingchen responded casually. The insecurity she had felt two years ago was long gone, and she no longer deliberately avoided Shen Li.
The two were happily chatting when the phone in Shen Xingchen's pocket rang—it was a call from Jiang Yi.
"Hello, Jiang."
"I got home. Got back this afternoon and took a nap."
