Li Tingyan finally left for work in a hurry, over an hour late.
When he left, he looked invigorated, buttoning up his shirt all the way to cover the lipstick mark.
Meanwhile, Nianyang lay in bed completely drained.
She then heard a knock at the door, quickly grabbing concealer to cover any visible marks.
After ensuring her appearance was fine, she came out of the room to open the door, and was met with He Suzhi's anxious face,
"Sister-in-law Chu, are you okay?"
Nianyang was taken aback, "What's wrong? I'm fine."
She invited He Suzhi inside, and He Suzhi sat down, feeling a bit uneasy, "I went to pick wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain yesterday, just now I heard about the rumors of you being accused of having an affair. Our reputation as women is too important, I was worried you might be troubled, so I came to see you."
Nianyang chuckled warmly, "How could I be so weak? It's just someone talking nonsense, it's already been clarified, I'm fine."
