Recollecting herself, she took Chen Lihua's hand as she led her towards the direction she pointed at earlier.

Chen Lihua excused herself from her friends before following her mother-in-law's walk hand in hand. 

When Liu Longwei saw that it was getting late, he immediately abandoned the 'not at the moment' important conversation he was engaged in to find his wife. And when he found her, he immediately bade goodbye to the rest before taking her home.

It was quiet in the car before Liu Longwei spoke up. He looked at the already tired Chen Lihua and asked concerned. "You look tired, hope you are ok?"

Chen Lihua massaged her temples with her right fingers. "I'm good, just tired. I can't wait to fall asleep once my head hits the bed".

Liu Longwei looked at her in surprise 'you are thinking of going to sleep immediately we get home? What about me?' he thought to himself.
