Seeing her mother not answering, Lu Lingxiao stopped looking at her.
He bent down to find a pair of men's slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on himself.
Then he took off his coat, hung it on a nearby rack, and turned to wash his hands in the restroom.
This level of familiarity was as if he were in his own home.
Dai Ning was simply stunned.
Ye Xi felt so awkward she didn't know what to say.
When Lu Lingxiao came out of the restroom, he asked, "Where's Youyou? Why isn't he clinging to you today?"
He was asking Ye Xi.
Ye Xi was slow to respond, "Oh... no, I've been working overtime these past few days, and he... hasn't really come to look for me."
Ye Xi's voice got lower and lower, and even her glances towards Dai Ning became evasive.
Dai Ning was livid, feeling utterly ignored and treated like she didn't exist at all.
In her anger, Dai Ning turned and left, not even paying attention to her son.
