At that moment, Chen Zhi returned from the restroom, apologizing with a smile as she took her seat. When Xiu Jianxin saw the two of them sitting together, a bolt of lightning seemed to strike his mind.
Could it be...
That this "cousin" Chen Zhi isn't really her cousin but the man she's pledged her life to?!
He remembered, his aunt had mentioned that Chen Zhi only had her mother as a relative, so there was no such thing as a cousin.
And looking at the pair, they truly seemed a match made in heaven...
Xiu Jianxin grew increasingly restless, forced a stiff smile, stood up, and politely said, "I'm sorry, something just came up for me; I have to leave first. You two enjoy your meal."
Without waiting for Chen Zhi to speak, he grabbed his things and left immediately. Chen Zhi looked after him, puzzled, unable to understand why he had suddenly gone.
Weren't we just having a pleasant conversation?
Chen Zhi instinctively turned to Si Ye, "What did you say to him?"
