The meal was all prepared. With just a word from Li Yan, the maids would bring out all the gourmet dishes.
However...
Delivering the meal at this moment would undoubtedly disrupt the important conversation between the couple.
The single sentence, which Gu Tong had mustered all her strength to ask, became utterly meaningless. Her mind spun rapidly, and with a loving smile, she said, "Honey, you should answer the door..."
It was as if she had found a step to descend, withdrawing from all her suspicions. All of her deductions could be overturned at that moment by Gu Tong, or perhaps there was no need to discuss them further.
Li Yan sensed something was amiss with the little woman. He glanced at her but didn't say much, simply responded, "Okay."
He didn't know what she was thinking, so with this doubt in mind, he didn't know how to respond appropriately, so he chose to set it aside.
