Shen Jianian was utterly baffled: "Have you had too much to drink?"
Her tone was not good, and in the past, Fu Jichen would have been angry. However, hearing her voice now only made him feel relaxed, and all the scheming at the dining table was completely forgotten.
He asked again, "What are you doing?"
It seemed like he heard the sound of the wind. Was she outside?
As long as Fu Jichen didn't bring up going to Beicheng, Shen Jianian softened her tone and carefully said, "I accompanied Aunt Zhen to the supermarket this afternoon to buy ingredients for tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner. I ate a lot of deli food and pastries at the supermarket, so I'm not hungry for dinner. I just had a little bit and now I'm out walking the dogs."
This was also why she hadn't answered his call for a long time; she was walking three dogs by herself and couldn't free her hands.
