Before, there was no Gu Xiyang between them.
She never doubted him.
Their interactions were open and carefree, so she had no reservations, often making jokes in front of Fu Yanshen.
But now.
With the appearance of Gu Xiyang, she had been suspicious all this time.
Now, the same words carried a completely different meaning.
As if she was doubting his relationship with Gu Xiyang.
She watched as Fu Yanshen's expression visibly changed, his lips moved as he tried to explain, "I..."
Didn't mean that.
She didn't want to strain their relationship.
She too wanted to live well with him.
Just like before.
"Sir, madam, dinner is ready."
The aunt finished cooking the last dish, turned off the stove, and broke the weird atmosphere between the two outside.
"Let's wash our hands and eat."
Fu Yanshen was the first to snap back to reality; Xiyuan's words today made him feel somewhat guilty facing Mu Chenxi.
