Xie Jinbai didn't even spare her a glance. He walked straight to Cui Lingyao's side and placed a hand on her shoulder, preventing her from rising to her feet.
Beside them, the ignored Chen Minrou didn't miss a beat. She straightened up on her own, her eyes landing on Zhao Shijie, who had clearly been the first to enter but now lagged a step behind.
Something was very wrong with his expression.
After years of marriage, Chen Minrou could tell something was amiss at a single glance.
As a thought struck her, she frowned and asked, "When did you two get here?"
Zhao Shijie remained silent, just staring at her fixedly.
His mind was consumed by the words she had just spoken.
'…Talking about true feelings with him is a luxury.'
'If it weren't for their two children, she would divorce him.'
Divorce.
Seeing the look on his face, Chen Minrou knew at once what had happened.
'They must have been listening outside while I was talking with Yaoyao.'
