Xi Wanfen froze when she heard this.
She watched as Dang Li walked over to Liang Zhanbai, who told her, "No need to be courteous, I left you on the couch and went home last night. Did anything happen afterwards? I was worried you might catch a cold there."
"How could I? I actually woke up because it was too hot. The room was stuffy without any windows open."
The two of them laughed together.
Dang Li then said, "Dr. Liang, are you going to eat now? I was just about to as well. Shall we go together?"
"Sure." Liang Zhanbai did not decline.
They went down the staircase over there, while Xi Wanfen just stood there, motionless.
Her heart ached, but she was at a loss for what to do.
Two voices vied within her: one said, "Hurry, win Liang Zhanbai back. Tell him you regret it; from now on you must give his parents respect and be a good wife."
But another voice said: "Don't go; you're not ready to be a good wife yet. If you compromise now and fail later, it will be your fault!"
