When Cheng Qingchong came out from the kitchen, Qin Yinan was no longer in the living room. Mrs. Cheng was sitting on the sofa watching television.
Cheng Qingchong sat on the sofa, accompanying Mrs. Cheng when she noticed there was a bright light coming from the study that wasn't fully closed.
During the commercial break, Mrs. Cheng went to the dining room to cut some fruits. She placed them on two plates and passed one to Cheng Qingchong, signaling for her to bring it to Qin Yinan.
Cheng Qingchong was actually afraid of facing Qin Yinan alone, but she was afraid that her mother would notice something was off, so she could only pretend that nothing was wrong. She accepted the fruit platter, stood up, and headed for the study.
She knocked lightly on the door, and a voice said, "Come in." She pushed the door open, and Cheng Qingchong could hear Qin Yinan's voice drifting out from the balcony. "I'm really sorry. I was planning to attend the dinner tonight, but something came up, so I couldn't make it. I'll definitely treat you to dinner another day … Okay, that's all for now. Goodbye."
Qin Yinan, who hung up, turned to look at Cheng Qingchong, who had just walked into the study. He didn't say a word before quickly pulling his gaze away. He pressed several buttons on his phone and made another call. "Don't you have a meeting this afternoon? Arrange it for tomorrow morning, and … the documents that I haven't finished reading, send them to my email later. I'll go through them now … "
Cheng Qingchong placed the fruit plate on the table and left Qin Yinan's study. Just as she closed the door, she heard Qin Yinan say into the phone in a whisper as if afraid of being overheard, "… It might be a bit inconvenient for the next few days, so please postpone my business trip …"
Cheng Qingchong's fingers that gripped the doorknob tightened.
Did Qin Yinan postpone a lot of work because of her mother?
His company is new, and many of his clients aren't stable yet … When I came in, he was apologizing to the clients that he had dinner with that night, right?
Cheng Qingchong pressed her lips together and paused for a moment at the door before returning to the sofa to accompany her mother to watch the television.
Unlike Cheng Qingchong and Qin Yinan, Mrs. Cheng was used to waking up early. At 9: 30 pm, after Mrs. Cheng finished watching the drama, she stood up and returned to her bedroom.
While Mrs. Cheng was in the shower, Cheng Qingchong went to the kitchen to heat up a glass of milk. While waiting for the milk to heat up, Cheng Qingchong used her phone to book two hot spring tickets.
When Cheng Qingchong carried the milk to Mrs. Cheng's bedroom, Mrs. Cheng had just exited the bathroom.
Cheng Qingchong used the hairdryer to dry her mother's hair before passing the glass of milk to Mrs. Cheng. "Mom, we won't be going to Summer Palace tomorrow …"
"Hmm?" Mrs. Cheng swallowed a mouthful of milk and looked at Cheng Qingchong with confusion.
Qin Yinan, who had returned to the master bedroom to grab some documents, happened to pass by the guest bedroom after leaving the study.
The door to the guest bedroom wasn't closed, and he could hear Cheng Qingchong's soft voice drifting out from within. "Yinan has a friend who owns a hot spring resort in the countryside. He gave Yinan two tickets to the hot spring, and when I delivered the fruit platter to Yinan, he passed it to me. Let's go to the countryside tomorrow to enjoy the warmth. The air and scenery there are good, so we can stay there for two days …"
