Qinghe raised her hand to take a sip of water, her eyes flickered as she lightly pursed her lips, her expression a mix of smirk and seriousness as she said, "Since Grandpa asked me to go back, I'll go back."
Gu Che was startled. He clearly felt that Qinghe didn't like going back, so why was she still going?
But since Qinghe had agreed to go, Gu Che could only shrug and say reluctantly, "All right, then. You can pick me up when we go back." Gu Che naturally assumed Qinghe's "I" to mean "we," unintentionally treating them as if they were tied by the same string, like grasshoppers on a line. If Qinghe had to go, then he had no choice but to follow.
Gu Che didn't think there was anything wrong with that, but Qinghe just smiled slightly and looked at him more tenderly. The reason she agreed to go back was to see what that mother and daughter were up to. She didn't know why, but she felt something was off about the Gu Family's in-laws; they shouldn't be targeting her, should they?
