Chapter 34

***

Shen Xi ignored Su Hang for one more night. Last night, Su Hang had asked Mrs. Zhang to help him and send another bouquet, but it only got him a crisp thank you and a door slam from Shen Xi. It seems that she was even angrier? What did he do???

Su Hang was in such a fretful mood that he tossed and turned the whole night. In the end, he got up before dawn and walked towards the foot of the stairs.

This feeling is too painful, ah.

"Click!"

The front door was suddenly opened. Su Hang looked towards the noise and saw Mrs. Zhang enter the house with a basket full of vegetables.

"You're quite early today, Sir." Mrs. Zhang blinked. "You surprised me."

"Ah, yeah. I wanted to run a little earlier today." Su Hang walked towards the door.

Mrs. Zhang watched Su Hang go to the shoe rack and changed into his running shoes. Dumbfounded, she couldn't help but ask: "Sir, aren't you going to change your clothes?"

Su Hang looked down and realized that he was still wearing his blue robe. He awkwardly coughed and silently went back to his room to change clothes.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Su Hang's back, then up towards the second floor. She helplessly sighed.

Compared to the dazed Su Hang, Shen Xi had a good night's sleep. But because she stayed late last night to peruse through some documents, she got up late today. When Shen Xi woke up, it was already 8:30 a.m. She jolted up, thinking that Su Hang was waiting for her downstairs. Bypassing the bathroom, Shen Xi didn't bother changing out of her pajamas and rushed to put on her slippers and go out. But when she touched the doorknob, she suddenly remembered.

She was supposed to be angry with Su Hang. Why did she care if Su Hang ate breakfast or not? Let him wait, ah.

So when Shen Xi finally went downstairs, it was already 9:00 a.m. She stealthily peeked at the dining table and saw that Su Hang wasn't there. She turned towards the sofa in the living room...

"Bark!" Chu Wu saw his mother and excitedly burst out.

"Shh!" Shen Xi quickly hushed Chu Wu, frantically waving her hands. Chu Wu thought that his mother was calling for him, so he became even more excited. He got up and ran towards her.

"Madam, you're awake." Hearing Chu Wu's calls, Mrs. Zhang came out of the kitchen.

"Ah, yes." Shen Xi replied. For some reason, her voice was a little panicked.

"Come have breakfast, I'll heat everything for you." Mrs. Zhang said.

"Alright." Shen Xi led Chu Wu towards the table. She looked around but didn't see Su Hang anywhere. She asked the dog next to her: "Where's your father?"

"Bark!" Hearing his dad being mentioned, Chu Wu barked once more.

"Sir has already gone to work." Mrs. Zhang replied as she came out of the kitchen with a few dishes.

"Oh, I see." Shen Xi stiffly sat down on the table. She picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. Ah, the custard is very creamy. Delicious.

"Sir didn't have breakfast today." Mrs. Zhang mused.

"Oh?" Shen Xi said. "Did you pack a lunchbox for him?"

"I did." Mrs. Zhang nodded.

"Oh."

Mrs. Zheng looked at Shen Xi's listless expression and realized that the wife was worried about her husband. Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but say: "Before Sir left, he gave me a message to pass to you."
