Gong Ruini was not at the dining table, and Cai Ming was genuinely worried. He was concerned that maybe his words yesterday were too harsh; otherwise, why hadn't Ni Zi gotten up?
Before, this girl would wake up early every day to paint and write. Although everyone said maybe she was tired, why did it have to happen right after their talk?
What if the girl couldn't figure things out or understand clearly? Cai Ming suddenly felt that he shouldn't have meddled and insisted on having a conversation with Ni Zi.
Moreover, Ni Zi's situation hadn't reached a dire point. The way she interacted with the other kids was usually not problematic.
If there really were issues between them, it's impossible that his brother-in-law and the others hadn't noticed. Thinking this, Cai Ming truly regretted it. It was fine if nothing happened to Ni Zi, but what if something did?
