Seeing Jie Jingjue heading outside, Xu Chunyan casually asked, "Jing Wu, are you going out?"
"Yeah," Jie Jingjue nodded, carrying his bicycle over the threshold.
"Are you going to see Aiyun?" Xu Chunyan pressed eagerly.
Jie Jingjue faltered for a moment, then looked back at Xu Chunyan and replied, "No, Aiyun and I are over. Second Sister-in-law, please don't worry about us anymore. This time, it's really and truly over."
Disappointment filled Xu Chunyan's eyes. She wanted to urge them to reconcile but didn't know what to say. 'Forget it,' she thought. 'Jing Wu won't listen to me anyway, so there's no point in trying.' She then asked, "It's almost dinnertime, and Aunt Qiao and Dad will be home soon. What are you going out for?"
"Fourth Brother told me to go buy groceries." Before his voice had faded, Jie Jingjue was already riding away on his bicycle.
"Buy groceries?" Xu Chunyan raised an eyebrow. 'Isn't Qin Mei rich? Why is she still making Jing Wu buy groceries?'
