When Bai Yuqin mentioned Gu Kai's name, she noticeably paused.
In the past, whenever she said "Ah Kai," her tone was natural and affectionate, like any mother-in-law who looked at her future son-in-law with complete satisfaction.
But now, when she brought up Gu Kai, her voice sounded somewhat unnatural.
It was mainly because she felt guilty, afraid that mentioning Gu Kai might anger Yiyi and lead to a quarrel between them, so she had become extra cautious.
After speaking, she carefully observed Bai Yiyi's reaction.
Bai Yiyi's expression stiffened for a moment. Gu Kai's name appearing in a conversation between her and her mother was akin to a taboo subject in her mother's eyes.
"He said the Spring Festival travel rush was too crowded, and the buses were packed, so he drove me back."
Bai Yiyi's tone was calm, clearly reluctant to delve further. Bai Yuqin sensibly refrained from asking more, even though she was eager to find out whether Yiyi and Gu Kai had reconciled.
